The KIWMS provides a strategic approach for the transition of the waste management sector to circular economy, while protecting the public health and reducing environmental impacts from waste. The KIWMS addresses current shortfalls and constraints in the waste management sector in Kosovo by providing a set of strategic and specific objectives as well as introducing recycling and landfill diversion targets to prepare for alignment with EU directives. KIWMS considers the size of municipalities in Kosovo, therefore the quantities of waste, and sets forth the development of integrated regional reuse and recycling systems. As part of the process, municipalities have initiated joint planning processes and drafted intermunicipal integrated waste management plans (IIWMPs) for development more affordable joint regional waste management systems based on intermunicipal cooperation. Municipalities in Mitrovica South and Gjilan/Ferizaj waste management zones (WMZs) have drafted IIWMPs with support of GIZ and are now in the process of adopting IIWMPs at municipal assemblies and detailing out intermunicipal cooperation (IMC) agreements for implementation of regional plans.

The focus of this assignment is to support municipalities in the abovementioned WMZs in setting up intermunicipal cooperation for implementation of IIWMPs by detailing out IMC agreements and a setting up IMCA bodies in each WMZ for coordination and implementation of the IIWMPs.
