🌿 Bersama Kita Bersihkan Tanah Air 🌿 Together We Clean The Nation 🌿
IWP takes measures to reduce the negative impacts on Climate and Environment caused by mismanaged organic and non-organic waste in rural & remote communities and small island fishing communities. We roll out this intervention in and with communities, we customise the interventions to local needs & gaps.
Our community-led development approach advocates community engagement in decision-making and management, with a goal of using communities’ local knowledge and resources to run this effective program which is based on inclusivity and equity of communities. This approach amplifies the voice of communities.
Waste Roadmap development
Since 2010 we are experienced in waste roadmap development and engaging communities in a collective approach on advancing solutions on waste & litter.
Collection of recyclables in remote and rural regions pose specific challenges, regarding low waste management infrastructure and long distances to the recycling factories, which are mainly located on Java.
We are creative, flexible and customise our program to local circumstances, state of waste management, culture and type of community (subsistence fishing and farming communities, tourism hotspots). Each community has its specific characteristics.
We collaborate with community, central government, local government, local non-governmental actors and the Indonesian recycling sector.
We collaborate with companies and brand-owners based on the 2019 decree by the Ministry of Environment & Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Collection from island subsistence fishing communities
We work with communities on islands in and around Komodo National Park: Komodo, Papagarang, Mesah, Seraya and Rinca
Accountability
We update our waste, litter and financial data files weekly. These data files are accessible by local government and our donors via shared documents.
Waste & tourism
We built capacity in the Flores Homestay Network on the management of waste in community-based tourism and advise other tourism stakeholders.
