In December 2018, JICA and UN-Habitat co-organized a 5 days training on safe management of landfill in Addis Ababa. The training programme included lectures and on-site training at Koshe Dumpsite, where UN-Habitat was implementing the rehabilitation of collapsed slope. UN-Habitat expert team provided lecture series on landfill management for different technological options. Participants also visited newly constructed Waste to Energy Plant and plastic recycling companies in Addis Ababa and learned from their experiences. 30 waste management officers from 14 ACCP members benefitted from this study tour.
