Progress of Waste Management Program on Mantanani

By Chen Sue Yee | Programme Manager

In order to track the efficiency of Waste Management Programme which was introduced to Mantanani Island in April 2020, we conducted an interview survey with our participants recently. Out of 164 households, we managed to interview 137 of them.

The results are as below:

99% understand the purpose of Waste Management Programme.
91% think the cleanliness of their environment has improved.
26% believe that there are still people in the community who throw their trash into the sea or on the beach.
100% agree that the Waste Management Programme has improve their quality of life and should be continued.
100% agree that the implementation of Waste Management Programme is easy.
90% face no difficulties in participating in the Waste Management Programme.

Through the interview, we also learn of our shortcomings which are:

Insufficient bins
Inappropriate bin size for bigger household
Inappropriate bin for food waste

Nevertheless, the result of the interview survey is very encouraging and we will work on our shortcomings.

Thank you once again for your donation and making this programme possible.
