WMTR will work with local, regional, and national authorities on design of a proper waste collection tariff system that is key to maintaining and operating the waste management system. The project will closely with the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia (MRDI) and other relevant institutions, local and regional authorities to assist in the development of a tariff for the targeted region. The project will conduct public hearings and the outreach campaigns to inform the local population about how tariff increase will result in the sustainability of the local waste management system which will in turn lead to improvements in their health and environmental conditions.  This will include a “phase in” plan to accommodate change in public perception on the value of good waste management systems.  Work with regional and local authorities and the MRDI to develop regional waste management policies and a strategy with strong public participation.
