7.2.1 Financial Considerations in the Context of ISWM Action Plan
In general, solid waste management is given a very low priority when it comes to provision of financial
resources. As a result, very limited funds are provided to the solid waste management sector and hence
the levels of services required for protection of public health and the environment are not attained. Out
of the total PMC budget from 2003-06, an average of only 15 % was spent on SWM.
Given these constraints and pattern of the financial resources and expenditures, it is recommended that a
separate budget be created for operationalizing the ISWM Action Plan. The 31 Schemes proposed
correspond to a budget of Rs 83.2 Million over a period of five years. This budget on an annual basis
constitutes to only Rs 17 Million annually which accounts for 3.28% of the average revenue and 3.46% of
the annual expenses. Excepting Schemes that require development of infrastructure, most of the
remaining Schemes can be implemented through this budget.
Since a PPP model has been advocated for the implementation of projects arising out of the Schemes, the
financial implications are expected to be minimal and within the resources available at the PMC.
However, in order to draw on additional support to the operation of the Action Plan, the PMC may
consider the following possibilities.
• Secure support as Technical Assistance from multilateral and bilateral financing institutions, from
organizations such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), Japanese Bank for
International Cooperation (JBIC), KfW (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau), Indo-Norwegian
Cooperation and Department for International Development (DiFD)of UK. The documents
