Institutional framework and financial arrangements for supporting the adoption of Resource Recovery Reuse technologies in South Asia [1]

Open dumping of waste and discharging untreated wastewater into environment are key causes of  environmental  pollution  in  the  developing  world,  including  South  Asian  countries.  Waste  and wastewater however can be a source for recovering energy, nutrients and water if properly treated or  recycled rather than a cause of pollution and diseases spread. The importance of adopting Resources Recovery and Reuse (RRR) technologies increases under growing demand for food and energy in  contrast to depleting fossil fuel mines and groundwater reservoirs. However, institutional framework  including  the  organizations and  various  stakeholders  involved  in  the  waste  and  wastewater  management sectors, government policies and legislation, as well as financial arrangements and incentives to technological change play a pivotal role in adopting and scaling up RRR options. This study  therefore  focuses  on  institutional  and  financial  aspects  of  challenges  and  opportunities  for implementing RRR options in South Asia. It is argued that improving financial capacities, easing to  obtain land use permits to expand RRR facilities, maintaining quality of RRR products (compost,  biogas), and raising environmental awareness are imperative for the successful performance of the  RRR projects in South Asia.  [2]
