Integrated Solid Waste Management Source Book for Local Government Units Volume 1: Funding Organizations

Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, mandates the local government units (LGUs) to take the lead in implementing the law. For LGUs to effectively carry out this mandate, the Act provides for incentives to encourage them to develop or undertake socially acceptable, effective, and efficient solid waste management (SWM) programs, and to actively participate in any program for its promotion. Financial assistance programs are among the incentives stipulated under the Act.

This Volume contains information on available credit/loan portfolios and grants from international funding agencies and local financing institutions intended for LGUs.

This Source Book is expected to be updated by the National Solid Waste Management Commission as new grant/loan facilities for SWM programs become available.
