More than 40% people globally live in rural areas. While cities attract most of the funding for waste management, villages remain left behind. Transport is expensive and economies of scale difficult to reach, calling for innovative approaches to solve the waste management challenge.
In this webinar, we will hear from two organisations driving change in the field and learn their key factors for success:
- Yayasan Rijig Pradana Wetan in Banyuwangi, Indonesia (an independent spin-off of the Clean Oceans through Clean Communities programme)
- The Barefoot College in northern Rajasthan, India.
Our speakers, Diana Luckyta Sari and Gurpreet Singh, co-design and implement waste management strategies that are community-owned and managed – enabling long-term sustainability. Both are focused on replicating and scaling their models, with the potential to reach >200 million people across Indonesia and India alone.
