Abstract

The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), the central authority for the collection, analysis, publication and dissemination of statistics in Nepal, has executed the waste management baseline survey in 293 municipalities (except rural municipalities) of Nepal in 2019/20. The survey was carried out with the major aim to derive systematic and comprehensive data and information on quantity and composition of collected solid wastes, and solicit other vital information on the state of SWM in the municipalities of Nepal. The baseline assessment is expected to provide support in finding appropriate low cost, locally appropriate, sustainable waste management solutions and to provide sustainable development benefits and ultimately create transformational change towards low carbon, resource efficient and climate resilient, sustainable cities. The present document briefly discusses the finding of the survey and also reviews the current policies and legal frames pertaining solid waste management.
