Quelimane, Mozambique, composts waste from urban food markets at the “Quelimane Limpa” composting facility. The waste is then taken to a local composting facility and turned into compost for distribution in neighboring gardens. The programme has been jointly designed and developed by the municipality of Quelimane and the city of Milan. It ran for 2.5 years from 2017 to mid-2019 and it is the city’s flagship effort to resolve the solid waste management crisis by strengthening cooperation between the local government, civil society and private sectors in municipal affairs. The programme involves separate collection of organic waste at the city’s markets, and the creation of a compost industry.
