Armenia SWM Sector Assessment and Reform Plan
Waste management is a challenging sector to govern. The sector involves the day-to-day delivery of services that are vital to protecting public health and the environment. Regular and reliable waste management services underpin quality of life in municipalities, and contributes to Armenia’s attractiveness as a place to live, work and invest in. Integrated waste management comprises complex and inter-linked services, from cleaning of public spaces, collection and transfer, and recovery and disposal. Waste is highly diverse in nature and composition. Most products purchased and consumed will eventually give rise to waste of some kind, from municipal solid waste (generated from households, commercial, and institutional sources), to construction and demolition waste, end of life vehicles, health care waste, batteries, and electronic waste. Significant progress has been made in Armenia in recent years, with collection service nearing universal coverage of the population. A significant number of unauthorized waste disposal sites have been closed over the past few years. Still, in many areas, the waste sector in Armenia is not performing well enough when compared to the best international standards. This sector assessment report provides a critical overview of the municipal waste management sector in the country and identifies specific areas for improvement.
