State of Waste Management in South East Asia
 This report is a result of a small survey conducted in 2002 by UNEP IETC
in cooperation with the ASEAN Working Group for Multilateral Environmental
Agreements (AWGMEA). The survey was undertaken to prepare a background
paper on waste management in the sub-region prior to the holding in Kuala
Lumpur in October 2002 of an ASEAN High Level Consultation Meeting. The
focus is to deliberate on a proposal to establish a regional framework
for collaboration in sustainable integrated waste management. This is a
joint publication of UNEP IETC and the ASEAN Secretariat. It is envisaged
to be a reference for planning, programming and policy reviews on waste
management in each member state of ASEAN. It is also planned to be updated
every two years so that it can serve as a supplement to the GEO, a biennial
publication of UNEP, on the specialized area of waste management.
