Waste source separation was not well-performed Many households have changed their
attitude but not their behavior.
Behavior changes take time
Community’s participation and contribution is limited
LESSONS LEARNED
1. Advocate for policy changes
2. Promote and encourage community’s self-reliance
3. Link the project with the current CDF activities in the community
4. Financial sustainability
SUGGESTIONS The model is feasible and appropriate for
small community in suburb/suburban area of the cities
It is the cost and environment effective solutions
The model is highly recommended for replication .
It is replicated in 3 places (cities) in Viet Nam
Promote Community Participation & Self Management by Creating of Community Development Funds (CDF)
Empowerment = control over money Participation = power to make decision
Policy Supports

Waste collection fee
Paying for treatment service
