The Roma Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (REDI), in partnership with the Austrian organization Umweltdachverband, is organizing a Recycling and Capacity-building Workshop within the project “Roma and COVID-19: Build Back Better through Sustainable Waste Management”, funded by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer of the Republic of Austria.
The overall aim of the project is to improve the socio-economic situation of the Roma communities in North Macedonia, by strengthening their capacities in waste collection, repair, reuse and upcycling. Informal waste collectors have been working in the field for decades without official recognition, which is why this project strives to establish a primary waste separation system which will formalize their work and thus improve their working conditions and income opportunities.
The Recycling and Capacity-building Workshop will gather 20 Roma waste collectors coming from marginalized communities. It will focus on the treatment and storage of non-hazardous waste (paper and plastic) and the health and safety measures required when dealing with this waste-stream. These topics will be covered both theoretically and practically, with field visits of different waste treatment facilities – a recycling center and a warehouse – operating locally.
