The Municipal Solid Waste Management Project of China has an objective to build capacity and demonstrate best available techniques and best environmental practices in MSW incineration in accordance with the Stockholm Convention. The project would support three components: (1) Capacity Building for Improved Operation and Regulation of MSW Incinerators, (2) Capacity Building for Improved MSW Management Planning, and (3) Project Management. Component one would support two closely linked sub-components aiming to increase capacity to better operate and regulate MSW incinerators so as to reduce dioxin and other pollutant emissions. Component two would support four activities to promote improved MSW management planning with a view to reduce solid waste going to MSW incinerators. Component three would fund incremental operating costs and consultancy costs associated with project management, including day-to-day project implementation, procurement and financial management, environmental safeguards carried out by the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office (FECO), the Yunnan Project Management Office (PMO), and the Ningbo PMO. Two key lessons learned from initiatives to improve MSW incinerator environmental performance around the world and from World Bank-supported projects in China have been reflected in the project design.
