In Ghana, one of our major challenge has been Enforcement of our By-laws when it comes to Solid waste management. I was very glad and at the same time amazed when I saw the sanction for illegal disposal of waste in Singapore.

However, the digital technologies that has been shown throughout this whole presentation has motivated me to believe that we as Ghanaians can also do it.

I know when it comes waste management there’s nothing like “one size fits all” approach because of the dynamics, lifestyles and the geographical area. But I’ve taken some cues from day one till date that we’re going to use as a benchmark to improve our waste management problems.

I saw an organized system for waste mangement in singapore-the pooling of knolwedge and resources and people working together so I hope our NGO group-the Zero Waste Antigua and Barbuda group and its members currently engaged in most of the recying actions on the island but at pilot level will be able to upscale as we are seeing the impacts of the waste on our biodiversity - laws are in place but greater enforcement is needed. There is need for upscaling of our small pilots. Resource mobilization and newcapacity development is needed now and we would welcome support from singapore.

1. Being innovative and open minded to adopt technologies that fits for local contexts; educating ppl to have mindset to adopt technology to solve issues in everything.
Challanges for reduction and recycling are:
1. Lack of education/awareness among general public;
2. lack of recycling facilities in my country;
3. lack of resources for government to set up recycling facilities as we cannot do much on reduction at source since we are heavily dependent
on import.
some suggestions to approach to solve the above cited challanges will be:
1. mass/public participation;
2. advocate leaders to prirortise setting up recycling facilities while budgeting;

The following challenges we are facing in my country (Bahrain):
1-Very small country with one  domestic waste landfill.
2) The landfill is very old and it will reach to its lifetime soon.
3) We have a lot of industries produce lots of waste ( we have the largest Aluminum smelting Factory in the world).
4) We don't have segregation system from Source.

-Importance of a clear vision at the planning stage and development of a holistic and integrated waste management strategy.

-Strong leadership is fundamental.

-Think futuristic and importance of long term planning. Avoid short-sighted planning.

_Incorporation of possible technologies e.g. dual chutes, centralised bins and smart bins on the local scale.

-Learning from early adopters.  (dont re-invent the wheel, perhaps improve the wheel).

-Do research on local scale situation and determine what may be applicable to  the local scale and implement innovations based on contextual situation.

_Information sharing and learning to increase knowledge base. (Partnerships  and collaboration is important).

-Effective waste management through  use of new technologies in developing countries and with exemplary  case studies for use.

-Practical implementation of idealistic innovations.

-Closing waste loops ( Circular Economy)

-Communication and and use of  external evaluators to pick up on gaps in the system-importance of Partnerships.

Also update all reglementations ralated in environment protection  especilly in waste management. after that, improve communication by the 3P principles People, public and private synergy. adopt the bests methods according to the circumstances for costal or middle area. to improve awarness, education nd participation.

About waste management, we can apply an appropriate methods and process to treat waste, especially in the urban city.
Apply the 3Rs technicals, reduce, reus and  recycle with methods that we currently use like, compostage, biogas, recycling  plastics.
We are challenging on the solid waste collection in urban area like our capital city. To achieve this challege, a legal dumping center is necessary with all equipments and technics necessary like sorting waste with their caracteristics: e waste, food waste,...

1.0 Waste to Resource
2.0 Lack of Public awareness, legislations, lack of ownership, and most of the waste management facilities are centralized
3.0 Most of the waste generated are organic wastes in Nepal. It'd be a good idea to generate resources from it.  Secondly, solid waste are send directly to land fill site. I think it would be better to decrease the volume by incinerating it.
Finally, I would like to emphasis on decentralized waste management system for sustainable SWM.

Incorporating different enforcement strategies including improved partnership between government, NGOs and industry, as well as apart from administrative  sanctions, using a combination of punitive measures such as Corrective Work Orders for littering  and/or  illegal dumping.

Challenges for waste reduction and recycling:
- Lack of public education, awareness and participation.
- Lack of resources
- Lack of waste management being a national priority.

Possible Solution:
-Promoting pro-environment values within a community
- Facilitating ground-up actions and co-creating pollution /waste solutions are definitely aspects that can prove beneficial in enhancing stakeholder engagement.
- advocating for the prioritizing of enhancing waste management by introducing alternative methods such as incineration and WtE facilities.

we were introduced to new technologies. how can we make waste managment more effective, what new innovations can we introduce to us. The experiences of Singapore have shown us how to manage waste in well - developed countries. This course help me to share all exsperinces from each countries. You run interesting strong projects which are very examplary and considerable. I hope that in the future we will be able to meet live and get to know and share all this better. I am happy that I was am member of this learning group. Thank you all , our hosts, lecturers and my colleges.
