Figure 1.4: The Process of Developing the ISWM Plan for Pune
The process of developing the ISWM plan for Pune started with streamlining the information capture and
analysis and the data formats were developed. The Data Collection Formats have been evolved based
on discussions with the various agencies as well as the “Guidelines for Data Collection and Analysis” compiled
by IETC-UNEP as the base document, Pune city specific information and understanding the national and
local legal requirements. This document has already been submitted and approved by the project
proponents. The available data from the various sources have been captured and analysed to assess the
prevailing solid waste management systems in terms of efficacy and effectiveness and including
compliance with applicable legislations. Understanding the overall ‘situation’ both in terms of
environmental concerns and its institutional mechanism is the first step of the strategic planning process.
In the Pune ISWM, the Situation Analysis Report provides an understanding of the existing state of
affairs. Based on the past data available, the future developmental activities and available trends of
development, scenarios were developed for the future. Using the various scenarios the gaps were
elaborated in terms of infrastructure; institutional capacities, arrangements and human resources; financial
constraints; etc. the outcome of the exercise would be the Gap Analysis. The ISWM Action plan has
been formulated in line with the vision, mission and goals and several schemes are being proposed to
overcome the gaps highlighted in the situation analysis report.
