PUBLIC CALL FOR SUPPORT TO UNITS OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (ULG) IN THE FIELD OF WASTE MANAGEMENT AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in cooperation with the Resources Mobilisation Facility financed by Ministry of Finance of Slovak Republic and the German Development Bank (KfW) is inviting units of local governments (ULGs) to apply to this Public related to biowaste management and renewable energy sources.

The Public Call aims to receive applications from ULGs in order to select ULGs demonstrating the greatest potential and interest to invest in projects for production of biogas and biowaste compost.

Compost and biogas production from farming residues and biowaste is a well-established practice in many countries and provides opportunities to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and creating new jobs in rural areas. With this in mind, based on this Public Call, UNDP will develop a study for use of biowaste for at least 3 selected ULGs. The study includes a detailed analysis of the available biowaste potential and provides guidelines or recommendations for investment in treatment or use of waste.

Applications are open from 22nd March until 10th June 2023 by 5PM.
