Waste management standards

Last updated:
Key points
  • Solid waste management is a joint responsibility of field coordination (camp coordination and camp management), as well as the WASH and health sectors.
  • In urban and out-of-camp settings, national systems should be employed and, where necessary, strengthened.
  • Ensure that refugee communities are involved in solid waste collection at household and community level.
