The planning and development of the waste diagnostic is a great way to involve the community in the first hands on activity of a waste management plan. It is important to first identify all the key stakeholders and community leaders that would want to be part of the planning process:
Municipal Authorities
Local Businesses/Companies/Associations
Local Health Authorities
Local Universities or Technical Schools
Primary & Secondary Schools
Parent Teacher Organizations
Mother’s Clubs
Environmental Committees (CAM)
Health Committees (CLAS)
Church Parish/ Church Group
NGOs
Youth Groups
Local leaders

With those that are interested in participating, formulate an action plan with specific activities, a timeline and responsible parties. Here is an example of an action plan:
