World vision Project in Zia colony and Khayyaban-e-Sir syed

Background

The 3R project is focused to promote the practices of reduce, reuse and recycling of waste in the UC 9 & 10 of Rawalpindi. Project has actively engaged all relevant stakeholders for its effective implementation at community level. Potential individuals have been trained on small scale recyclable/resalable businesses on trades such as compost and paper mashi supporting the concept of Reuse as well as helping create income generation opportunities for deserving stakeholders. Initially it was planned to establish an environment friendly small scale plastic recycling unit within the target area, but due to budget constraints, the project team has identified a potentially alternative to recycling plant.

E-GUARD, concept and prospect:

In collaboration with AkhterHameed Khan Memorial Trust (AHKMT), a local NGO working on waste management in Rawalpindi,3R project is planning to initiate a low cost and self-sustained initiative named “E-GAURD”. AHKMT is already working on similar projects of solid waste management in few UC’s of Rawalpindi where the Government services for waste collection are unavailable or limited.A successful Primary collection system is established for a community unit of 1000 households in Rawalpindi.AHKMT in partnership with UN-HABITAT is replicating the similar projects in Gilgit, LandiKotal, Larkana, Mingora, Muzafferabad, Mansehra, Sialkot, and Turbat.

This initiative will facilitate the line department in primary collection and segregation of household solid waste. This concept conforms to the intrinsic purpose of reduce, reuse and recycle of waste that the 3R project has been working on. Around 80 % of the total household waste generated comprises of organic waste,plastics and other recycleables, which will be linked with the plastic recycling plants,livestock farms and  compost making facilities for reusing and recycling of produced waste alongwith income generation for sustaining the stated initiative.This segregation and reselling of household solid waste will reduce the quantity of dumping material down to 20% (Refuse waste), which will be easy to manage. In addition, this initiative will also help to create few employement opportunities in the form of waste collectors and will ensure to encopmas the gender balance in its full spirit.The collector will charge a total of 100 PKR per month to each household choosing the service of E-GUARD. This will keep the motivation for effective service delivery as well as adequate income generation for the collectors.

Parallel to this, a component of rooftop gardening will also be included as an intrinsic part of this initiative. Previously 3R project has trained the potential individuals on compost making and a brief introduction to rooftop gardening was provided, but full fledge training was missing, which will be linked with the E-GUARD initiative.

The CBO’s established under CICWB project in Rawalpindi AIP, will be the key stakeholders in this initiative. Keeping the ownership of community in midst, CBO’s will have the responsibility of regular follow up and monitoring to ensure the effective service delivery in the target area. This will safeguard the sustainability of this initiative even after the phasing out of 3R’s
