Solid Waste Sector DPL

The proposed operation is the first Morocco - Solid Waste Sector DPL in a programmatic series of up to two DPLs designed to provide budget support and to sustain the implementation of the reform program of the solid waste sector. The Government program of reform and the DPL operation aim at improving the financial, environmental, and social performance of the solid waste sector in Morocco. The specific development objective is to enact policy measures conducive to: 1. Enhancing the governance of the sector through additional legal, regulatory, and institutional measures designed to establish a clear framework for the sector, eliminating overlap and/or holes in the policy-making, regulatory, and operational structure; 2. Improving the sustainability of the sector through the introduction of financial mechanisms and incentives for municipalities designed to support the sustainability of investments and services; and 3. Mainstreaming social and environmental considerations into the planning, implementation, and operations of solid waste programs.
