Consultant cum trainer for “Her Safety” Training

CLEAN UP NEPAL, established in 2014, is a non-governmental organization (NGO) with a mission to clean spaces, clean air, clean water and knowledgeable communities that have responsible lifestyles and good health. The organization’s focus is to ensure that communities have access to effective solid waste management and water, sanitation, and hygiene systems along with the necessary knowledge and resources for maintaining a healthy and diseases-free lifestyle. CLEAN UP NEPAL strives to create an inclusive and supportive environment by fostering connections, providing education, and empowering local communities and other stakeholders through a solution-oriented people-centered approach.

Project- RIVER+

Reduce and Intercept, Value add through the Establishment of a Recycling plant for low-grade plastics and used beverage cartons (UBC) in Nepal (RIVER+) Project is funded by the World Bank through the PLEASE Project, which is implemented by the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme with support from UNOPS. RIVER+ is led by Biocomp Nepal in partnership with People in Need and CLEAN UP NEPAL.

To respond to the plastic pollution issues affecting Kathmandu Valley’s Bagmati, Bishnumati, and Manohara rivers, the consortium will work closely with vulnerable communities in Kathmandu Valley and national and international experts to establish a formal gender-aware market value chain in Nepal for the recycling of low-grade plastics and used beverage cartons under which decent work is provided to all.

The project focuses on UBCs, low-grade plastics, and MLPs (Multi-Layer Plastics) because, unlike other types of plastics, they are not currently being collected and recycled in-country, and as such end up being dumped in rivers, riverbanks, poorly managed dump sites and streets or burned.

The overall objective of the RIVER+ project is to contribute to the interception and meaningful reduction of plastic waste in Nepal and the economic empowerment of the most vulnerable. The specific objective is to establish a gender-aware value chain for the collection and recycling of UBC and low-grade plastics providing decent employment.

The project intends to create awareness among Informal Waste Workers (Sanitation Workers) especially women in Kathmandu and Lalitpur. The Informal Waste Workers will be provided with training on reproductive health, menstrual health, and Occupational Health Safety.
