Financing Waste Management Project

The ISWA initiative on Financing Waste Management – Results this far and what’s to come Some time ago, the ISWA initiative for financing waste management was established. During this world conference we will convene a high-level dynamic panel to discuss the key findings from a number of ongoing projects. There is a large, unmet demand for (financial) support and services in the Global South, and at the same time we note that there are significant investment opportunities. “Bankability” remains a crucial issue for project development, but some financing and governance models can remove these barriers and even create opportunities, both on the supply and demand sides. During this interactive session, the panelists share their views on the main challenges, but also provide possible solutions to the technical and financial problems. Key players in the waste and resource management sector are already having this important conversation on the ground and ISWA wants to not only report on this, but even more, play a leading role.
