o SWEEP-Net Partners Countries host about 221.5 million people and generates
approximately 51.5 million tons of municipal waste/year;
o Egypt has the highest generation of waste in the region, of 21 million tons/year, and
Mauritania the lowest of 450,000 tons/year;
o With the exception of Mauritania and Yemen, more than 50% of the population live in
urban areas, and generate of 180-675Kg/capita/ year;
o Waste collection coverage varies between 30%, in Mauritania, reaching as high as 95%
in Lebanon;
o After the Arab Spring, there was a downturn in of economic growth from about 3.2% of
GDP in 2010 to 2.1% in 2011 (The World Bank, 2012), carrying reduction and/or

Why is the Valorisation of Organic Waste Important?
o Biowaste represents the vast majority of the MSW volume in the MENA Region;
o It is a major contributor to the Greenhouse Effect due to the emission of GHGs;
o Diverse business opportunities considering the production of fertilizer and
energy, as well as a creation of new job openings;
o Improve of Public Awareness and Society Engagement;
o Reduction of disposal impacts and costs;
o Improvement of soil quality.

Local Scale Projects in the MENA Region
o Egypt
o Compost production using rice straw as a raw material and energy generation using agricultural residues (ENTAG);
o Community-Based Organic Waste Composting Project in El Katta.
o Tunisia
o Composting of organic waste in Kelibia.
o Jordan
o Deir Alla organic compost plant.
o Morocco
o Household waste treatment and recovery centre in Oujda.

Implemented by
On-Going Challenges
o Waste reduction remains low and at-source separation is practical
nonexistent;
o Open dumps are still functioning and are the primary locations for disposing of
at least 60% of the household waste, with possible mixture of medical and
industrial waste;
o Collection and disposal of municipal waste in rural areas lag behind the same
services in the urban areas;
o Lack of public awareness and communication with stakeholders, reflected in
a low level of community interaction in all SWM aspects,;
o Limited funding of local governments and private investors.

What can be done to improve Biowaste Management?
1. Strengthening the governance in MSW sector;
2. Ensuring equity in MSW services by targeting first subsidies in MSW sector to
benefit the poor first;
3. Creating jobs by providing new opportunities for young entrepreneurs to be
involved in the MSW services; and
4. Moving towards green growth by scaling up support towards the valorisation of
the waste in terms of the 4 Rs ( Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Recover).
