Waste Management Specialist
Code: 15_2017 Waste Management Specialist
Location: Ayini – Tajikistan
Closing date: 24/5/2017
Duration: 5 months
Work context:
Cesvi has been present in Tajikistan since 2001 when it started working mainly on water and environmental hygiene issues. After 5 years of post-emergency activities, Cesvi has started to move through development actions in order to ensure long term sustainability for rural populations.
Currently Cesvi has a main office in Dushanbe and is implementing several projects country-wide.
The 4 main sectors are:
1) Environmental protection and natural resources management (NRM);
2) Rural development;

In June 2016, within the framework of NRM and rural development, a 4 years’ EU-funded project started in the Zarafshon valley (“Enhancing Water and Natural Resources Management and Protection in upper catchments of Zarafshon Watershed”). In the mountainous upper watersheds the villages have no waste deposit facilities and infrastructures. The project will conduct, in close cooperation with relevant local government authorities, an awareness campaign among the targeted communities on organic material composting and non-organic waste management techniques, including demonstrations on construction of basic facilities for waste deposit.
