20DATABASE OF PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES OF NEPCEMAC

Who we are? - Background InformationThere are serious disadvantages associated with the throwing of waste at open and public places like river banks, road side, and temples; in front of educational and commercial institutions and at private premises. It causes hostile effects to the environment as well as the human health. Rapidly growing and unplanned urbanization, unprecedented population growth, rising life style and inadequate awareness among the citizens to manage waste on their own has topped as serious issue in major urban centers of the country such as Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Dharan, Birjunj and Nepalgunj. It has resulted in severe cases of environmental degradation such as pollution, depletion of natural and cultural heritages.

Realizing this concurrent fact, Nepal Pollution Control and Environment Management Centre (NEPCEMAC) was established in 1997 by a group of enthusiastic young people dedicated to bring affirmative changes in the environment of these major cities through coordination with government, NGOs, INGOs and stakeholders.

Affiliated with the Social Welfare Council, registered in District Administration Office Lalitpur district and at Central Regional Health Directorate HetaudaMakwanpur district, NEPCEMAC is a non-profit and independent non-governmental organization that has been working in the field of Solid Waste Management (SWM) with local communities since its inception. Also, it has initiated activities to work in the areas of health and education since 2007. It has been providing health services throughthe NEPCEMAC Community Health Centre in a very economical way to the poor people of the working community as well to the solid waste collectors of NEPCEMAC and their families.

What we do? - Our ActivitiesDoor to door collection and transfer of waste

We conduct daily collection of solid waste through door to door services. Such services have been expanded to about 19,000 households in Kathmandu valley that includes 75,000 families thus reaching to 300,000 people.

Waste Segregation

We promote the waste segregation program at the source of production level (households kitchen). From the past two years, 3,000 families of Ichangu Narayan and Sitapaila VDCs of Kathmandu district are segregating the household waste into two parts (degradable and non-degradable). For this purpose, two separate buckets, green for degradable and red for non-biodegradable waste, has been provided to each family. This program is supported by the Japanese Embassy in Nepal. Likewise 500 families of Ward No.3 and 4 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City are also undertaking the same activity.

Public Awareness Programs

We organize and provide advocacy on solid waste management issues through orientations, trainings, mass campaigns, exhibitions, performing street dramas, songs, poetry, shows video documentary and use of pamphlets has proved to be effective in sensitizing local people and inducing their active participation in reducing the environmental pollution works. Annually hundreds of such programs are organized.
