Cost recovery, cost savings and progress towards financial sustainability: Through successful application of a results-based incentive scheme provided by the Global Partnership for Results-Based Approaches (GPRBA), the project interventions enabled significant improvements in JSC-KRM cost recovery efforts, with cost recovery reaching 71% at project closure from a baseline of 15% at project start.The now closed and rehabilitated Al Namsawi dumpsite, located in the most densely populated neighborhood of Gaza, was a growing health and safety hazard due to ongoing hazardous mixed-waste dumping and the risk of structural collapse. Health and Social Impact: Significant improvements have been noted to the health and well-being of residents due to reduction in waste burning, odor, pests, and stray dogs, which were causing prevalent respiratory and other illnesses.Climate Change Contributions: The sanitary disposal of waste, combined with the closure of major dumpsites at the Deir Al Balah and Old Sofa sites, is expected to further capture ~26,407 tons of methane emission, contributing to overall climate change mitigation measures.Over the life of the landfill capacity, more than 2 million tons of solid waste will be taken care of in the first phase, which will have significant environmental benefits, including the prevention of leaching of pollutants into the groundwater, elimination of odor, stopping spontaneous fires and improvement of air quality, in addition to the rehabilitation of over 12.6 hectares of contaminated land in the project area. Currently, 96% of waste generated in the project area is collected and disposed at the sanitary landfill, with an estimated 641,540 tons of waste diverted from dumping to sanitary disposal since the commissioning of the Sofa Al Fukhari sanitary landfill in 2019. ![]()
