Résumé

The Tuvalu Integrated Waste Policy and Action Plan is a national policy with a cross-sectoral approach. The timeframe of this Policy is 10 years between 2017 and 2026. The overall purposes of this Policy are (I) waste minimization, (II) improved hazardous waste management, (III) maximization of socio-economic, health and environmental benefits, (IV) institutional capacity building, and (V) public awareness-raising. The institutional and organizational structure of the waste sector will be strengthened in all the islands. Legal and policy framework will be developed to enforce waste management regulations, impose levies and ban certain imported items. Public awareness-raising programmes will be carried out on proper waste management, focusing on waste reduction, recycling and reuse, with a gender-sensitive approach. Incentive mechanisms will be developed to provide business and livelihood opportunities to ensure sustainable waste systems. The resilience of waste facilities and equipment to climate change will be increased for the protection of the health and well-being of the community and the environment. The cooperation between the Ministry of Health and the Department of Environment will be strengthened on the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes. The monitoring and reporting programmes and data collection mechanisms will be developed to ensure more informed decisions in the waste sector.
