French Dev't Agency aid MMDA in waste management
Excerpt
The French Development Agency (AFD) and Syctom, the Metropolitan Agency for the Treatment of Household Waste in the Paris Region, signed a grant agreement for a pilot project aimed at strengthening household waste management in Pasay City on July 21. This initiative, undertaken in partnership with the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), seeks to contribute to improving the quality of the water of the Pasig River. Metro Manila produces about 6,700 tons of household waste per day. In the absence of an effective waste collection system for its 17 million inhabitants, around 17 percent of the region’s waste from various neighborhoods ends up in the Pasig River through dumping or by being washed away by floods.
