There is an increasing generation of municipal solid waste in Iraq, particularly in the city of Karbala, and high proportions of organic components within it. Considering the high proportion of the organic waste generated in Karbala, IGES Centre Collaborating with UNEP on Environmental Technologies (CCET) has partnered with the UNEP West Asia Office, and the United Nations Development Programme in Iraq (UNDP-Iraq) in organizing an awareness campaign on organic waste management for 20 days (27/12/2021 – 15/1/2022) in Karbala city targeting different groups of within the society; restaurants, hotels, local markets, schools, fertilizers distributors, and waste collectors. The main goal was to bring composting to light and educate people on how beneficial and easy it is to compost organic wastes, the importance of the project to their city, and their role in the success of this project. The above activity was the part of programme entitled “Sustainable Solutions of Compost Production from Organic Waste in Iraq-Karbala Governorate” by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) West Asia Office and United Nations Development Programme in Iraq (UNDP-Iraq) in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment-Iraq and local authorities in Karbala.
