This publication outlines how to develop and implement effective engagement programmes using tools to communicate effectively with stakeholders. It is designed for anyone who leads, creates, or manages waste-oriented projects and programmes to engage and communicate with a broad range of stakeholders in the Pacific region.
It also serves as a framework to support the implementation of PacWastePlus regional and country projects communication and associated national education and awareness plans, aligned to the eight identified waste streams:
- Hazardous wastes: asbestos, e-waste, and healthcare waste
- Solid waste: recyclables, organic waste, bulky waste, and disaster waste
- Water impacted by solid waste (note this is not wastewater, or referring to any liquid waste)
The Pacific–European Union (EU) Waste Management Programme, PacWastePlus, is a 72-month programme funded by the EU and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to improve regional management of waste and pollution sustainably and cost-effectively.
