The Mudumu Landscape (ML) is one of the five pilot landscapes of the Namibia Protected Landscapes Conservation Areas (NAM-PLACE) project. The project is undertaken by the Ministry of environment and Tourism (MET) with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). As indicated on the Landscape map below, the ML comprises of seven communal conservancies (Kwandu, Mayuni, Mashi, Sobbe, Wuparo, Balyerwa and Dzoti), three national parks (Mudumu, Nkasa Rupara and eastern part of Bwabwata National Park) and three community forests (Kwandu, Masida and Lubuta). Waste management has been identified as one of the problems in the landscape that need urgent attention. Uncontrolled dumping of waste is common in the landscape. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no designated central waste disposal site. The NAM-PLACE Project has therefore appointed SED Consultancy to assist the ML with the design of a new waste disposal site and the development of a Waste Management Implementation Plan. This plan provides a synopsis of the current waste management practices in the ML and presents recommended initiatives to promote sustainable and integrated waste management in the landscape. The plan also promotes the effective use of the proposed waste disposal site and allocates responsibilities to all stakeholders in the action plan.
