📋 Tender Overview
UE 003: GICA, will provide technical assistance to strengthen the transitory cells and will articulate efforts for the construction of a new temporary infrastructure.With the objective of ensuring the continuity of an adequate final disposal of solid waste in the province of Coronel Portillo, the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), through the Executing Unit 003: Comprehensive Management of Environmental Quality (UE 003: GICA), held a coordination meeting with municipal authorities and representatives of the Environmental Evaluation and Supervision Agency (OEFA), to define actions that allow strengthening the management of the temporary cells that currently receive the provinces solid waste.
The meeting was attended by the technical coordinator of the KfW EU 003 Program: GICA, Ruben Hayakawa, representatives of the OEFA and authorities of the Provincial Municipality of Coronel Portillo, who agreed on the need to ensure a temporary infrastructure that guarantees the proper final disposal of solid waste while the future landfill project is being developed.
As part of the agreements, the Ministry of the Environment, through UE 003: GICA, will provide technical assistance to strengthen the operations of transitional cells 1 and 2. Likewise, it will articulate actions with the Provincial Municipality of Coronel Portillo to enable the implementation of a new transitional cell, in order to ensure the continuity of the adequate final disposal of solid waste during the transition period towards the start-up of the future landfill.
The current temporary cells, located at kilometer 22 of the Federico Basadre highway, were delivered in 2024 as a measure adopted during the declaration of emergency for solid waste management in the province of Coronel Portillo. After several years of operation, this infrastructure is close to reaching the end of its useful life, which makes it necessary to implement a new temporary alternative to avoid impacts on service provision until the new landfill co-financed by KfW comes into operation.
In this sense, UE 003: GICA continues to articulate actions with local governments and competent entities to strengthen the comprehensive management of solid waste and ensure sustainable solutions that protect the health of the population and the environment, while the development of the investment project for the construction of the Coronel Portillo landfill advances.
