The specific objective of this contract is to enhance the capacities of the national and local authorities in order to allow them to plan, organize and implement the introduction of bio(green)waste source separation into 25 targeted cities/municipalities across five waste management regions namely Subotica, Pančevo, Sremska Mitrovica (Srem-Mačva), Užice (Duboko) and Pirot.

The scope of the contract is to support introduction of home composting, separate collection and simple biological treatment of biowaste (inc. green waste) in 25 cities/municipalities across five waste management regions in Serbia.

The separation at source approach is as valid for bio-waste as it is for other recyclable materials.

Preparation for recycling, by the generator (source) of the waste consists of separating bioaste from other types of waste and either home composting or bringing to a shared site or putting out for collection.

Within the proposed approach, the home composting measure represents a package of support provided to citizens to prepare and treat bioaste at home. The EU suggests home composting in rural areas or areas where it is reasonable and realistically achievable, including educational programmes and composting advisors. The introduction of door-to-door collection and biological treatment by composting is envisaged at the municipal level. This would include collection from individual households (where home composting is not realistic), small businesses such are restaurants, groceries, super-markets and green markets, green waste from public places. Serbia already has some local PUCs conducting seasonal campaigns to collect green waste and agreements with some small businesses. The intention under this project is to systemize and increase the number of

campaigns.

The envisaged programme to be designed is foreseen to include:

Component 1: Implementation of on-farm irrigation water management Infrastructure. This component is intended to support on-farm (marwa/mesqa) ++irrigation modernization++ in the Nile Valley (specific areas to be decided).

The component is divided into the following:

1. ++Rehabilitation++ of mesqa (tertiary) system, including pump stations, wherever feasible renewable energy pumps (mainly solar pumps) will be considered, while accounting for feasibility and sustainability measures.

2. Transformation from open marwa canals to a pressurized distribution system composed of buried PVC pipes and hydrants and installing ++modern irrigation system++ (drip or bubblers) in the farms.

3. Establishment of mesqa Water User Associations and ensuring their proper representation.

Component 2: ++Capacity building++ and participation for government staff and farmers in the project area. This component aims to improve stakeholders' knowledge through

1. Building the capacity of Water User Associations, and key farmers on operation and maintenance of modernized irrigations systems, marketing, accounting and management.

2. Building the capacity of Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation officials in the field of design, implementation and operation of modern irrigation schemes, and improving their knowledge in the most recent technologies of water management and irrigation modernization.
