Implementation of organic waste treatment solutions in pilot municipalities
The six pilot municipalities—Rustenburg LM, Emfuleni LM, uMhlathuze LM, Msunduzi LM, Mbombela LM, and Mangaung Metro Municipality—are being supported to implement organic waste treatment technologies. These include feasibility studies, environmental and social impact assessments, and detailed designs.
This programme defines waste treatment technologies for the organic treatment of waste per municipality, to transition from an end-of-pipeline disposal-based system to a circular economy.

Funding proposal submission for the South Africa Waste Flagship Programme
A funding proposal for the South Africa Waste Flagship Programme will be submitted to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) during the 2022/23 financial year. This opportunity involves the formal application for climate finance to scale up organic waste treatment solutions across 24 additional municipalities after the initial six pilot projects.
A proposal for funding will be sent to the GCF during financial year 2022/23.
Scaling up waste treatment solutions through a programmatic approach
Following the success of the six pilot municipalities, a programmatic approach will enable 24 additional municipalities to adopt proven waste treatment solutions in a streamlined and cost-efficient manner, using standardised tools and documentation developed during the preparation phase.
An additional 24 municipalities will benefit through a programmatic approach with support from the GCF and the DBSA.
