Project: "Inclusion of informal Roma waste collectors into the formal waste schemes"
Summary: There are around 5000 informal waste collectors in the country, almost all of them Roma, that are marginalized, discriminated and with limited social rights. Their inclusion in the formal waste management scheme at local government level will contribute towards enabling possibilities for them and their families to exercise their basic human rights: employment, education, social and health welfare. Firstly, by pooling capital, establishing microenterprises, and forming partnerships with compliance schemes, municipalities, public utility companies, informal waste collectors increase their selling power. Secondly, by securing uniforms, safety equipment, and work permits, informal collectors increase workplace dignity and safety. And thirdly, by demanding recognition for their environmental and economic contributions, informal collectors increase political might.
Start/End date: 12/2012-02/2014
