Capacity Building

Capacity building is an important aspect of the URBAN-WASTE project and it gathers the 11 pilot cities and regions, as well as non partner cities and regions around the possibility to improve their operations, knowledge and overview of waste management options, practices and possibilities. The capacity building happens all across the project during the entire project’s lifetime. It is a transversal capacity which is an essential part and feature of the Mobilisation and Mutual Learning Plan.
