The main objective of the proposed project is, in a long term, improvement of public life conditions. The specific objective is to strengthen the effectivity of state administration and civil society and to improve the environment – waste management area. The project with its activities mainly contributes to systematic changes in waste management through introduction of inventory and processing of data about hazardous and other wastes, awareness rising and capacity building in the area. The outputs of the project will directly affect the introduction of waste management system and in a perspective to the extended producer responsibility for selected waste streams as it is required by the EU legislation. The project aims to help Moldova to fulfil the Basel Convention reporting obligations. Basel Convention is a multilateral environmental agreement that aims at minimizing the generation of hazardous wastes and other wastes, at controlling the transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and other wastes and at ensuring that hazardous wastes and other wastes are managed and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. One of the obligation is the regular (once per year) reporting on hazardous and other wastes management. To fulfil this obligation the country has to have the relevant legislation prepared, adequate professional and technical capacities build. Moldova lacks this capacities and based on long good working experience with SAŽP asked the applicant to assist with solving this issue. After the creation of functional reporting system for BC will the outputs of the project serve as the basis for reporting to EU in the waste management field. The project has 2 specific objectives defined: The objective 1 - to gather the information on the management of hazardous wastes and other wastes in the country for quantitative and qualitative point of view The objective 2 - to support the implementation of new waste legislation and strengthening of the waste management with the aim to improve national reporting system
