Solid waste management in non-State armed group-controlled areas of Syria case study - Jisr-Ash-Shugur-district

Abstract

The purpose of this study (technical assessment) is to understand the effect of the Syrian crisis on the solid waste management (SWM) sector in Non-State Armed Group (NSAG) controlled areas and define the worst communities located in Jisr-Ash-Shugur-district (JASD)/Idleb governorate of Syria.
