About this project

The purpose of this new project is to implement two new organic waste composting sites : one in the Mahajanga II (suburb of Mahajanga city), the other in the city of Antananarivo. A lot of waste is produced in these two cities and because of the lack of financial and material resources of the local authorities, the waste is not treated and is directly dumped in the landfill sites. This dumping of wastes into the landfill sites contributes to the pollution of the cities’ atmospheres and to climate change. Thus, the creation of the two composting sites will allow to sort and transform the organic fraction of the collected waste into compost. It will help to reduce pollution and also will allow farmers to use compost instead of chemical fertilizers.
