Project STOP has been working in Java and Bali in Indonesia since 2018 and, since that time, has introduced waste services to 450,000 people, most for the first time. Dhani and Farah have led behaviour change work in various of the STOP cities. During this webinar they share their approaches and experiences on what works when introducing waste services to a population for the first time.
