Noonu Atoll Council recognizes the importance of empowering island councils to implement effective circular economy waste management practices. To achieve this, council is launching a comprehensive capacity-building program.  Firstly conducting a thorough assessment of the specific needs and resources of each island council. This tailored approach will ensure capacity-building initiatives effectively address each council's unique challenges and opportunities. Following the assessment, council will implement a range of capacity-building activities. These may include workshops on composting techniques, recycling best practices, or the development of circular economy action plans.  Investing in technology and infrastructure is also crucial. Council will explore the feasibility of establishing waste processing facilities or providing island councils with essential equipment for waste management. Finally, the Noonu Atoll Council will develop and implement clear policies to guide circular economy waste management practices across all island councils. These policies will promote consistency, transparency, and accountability, fostering a collaborative approach to waste reduction across the atoll.
