The Solid Waste Management Services project in Deir ez-Zor, Syria, is a rehabilitation initiative addressing the disruption of solid waste collection and disposal services caused by conflict and infrastructure destruction1 in Deir ez-Zor Governorate (SRTF Phase I). Initiated in 2011, the project is unique for its large-scale, phased approach, targeting waste clearance from damaged schools, public areas, and destroyed infrastructure, such as water towers, to restore sanitation and public health.2
The project envisions to “re-establish cleaning and collection of waste and management of sanitation services” for over 200,000 people across 15 villages.3 Its aims include clearing solid waste debris, conducting needs assessments for informed future, and providing employment opportunities, aligning with national post-conflict recovery and stabilization objectives.4 5
