The PIC was constituted to supervise the project by reviewing the progress and providing the guidance and advice to the Project Team. Director IETC and Deputy Manager of the New District Administration Committee of WND jointly chaired the 2nd PIC Meeting.

The Head of Chinese Delegation, Mr. Zhang thanked IETC for the development of guidelines and the training imparted to the WND Project Team for characterization and quantification of solid waste generation and assessment of solid waste management system. He informed that as a follow up, the WND Project Team lead by Professor Zou Lyui conducted 4 additional training programmes. A meeting was also organized under the Chinese Forum for reviewing the national standards on solid waste management. WND also launched the ‘World First Class’ training on solid waste management to make the staff realise and learn the importance of the subject.

Brief presentations were made by IETC on the progress achieved so far. The PIC took important decisions to propel the project further. These included:

• Confirmation of data on characterization and quantification of solid waste generation in WND. The data covers all the waste streams; municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, healthcare solid waste and construction solid waste;
• Confirmation of the initial assessment of the current solid waste management system covering collection, transportation, treatment, disposal and resource recovery. The full assessment of the current management system would be completed by WND project team by the end of the year;
• Agreement on the date (7th or 8th March 2007) for holding a stakeholder consultation workshop to identify the issues of concern for developing an integrated solid waste management plan for WND.

The PIC expressed its satisfaction with the progress and quality of the work done so far. The Head of Chinese Delegation, Mr. Zhang thanked UNEP for its comprehensive support and assured that WND will continue its strong support and will consistently play its active role to make this project a showcase project on integrated solid waste management.
