In an attempt to achieve a clean and environmentally sustainable city, Lilongwe City Council (LCC) has developed a Solid Waste Management Plan to enhance enforcement of the laws and by-laws governing solid waste management in the city.
The plan will also facilitate the implementation of the recently launched National Waste Management Strategy.

The Solid Waste Management Plan is deemed as a key strategy the council is undertaking in its desperate move to address challenges of increased waste generation and illegal dumping in the city.
The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace of the Archdiocese of Lilongwe (CCJP Lilongwe) in partnership with Oxfam Malawi have facilitated the development of the plan under the ‘Strengthening collaborative governance on planning for and managing cities’ project, which is being financed by Tilitonse Foundation.
