3.8. International Waste Manager<br />
Programme<br />
The ISWA International Waste Manager programme is<br />
designed to provide an internationally recognised<br />
certification for individual professional waste managers<br />
based on both academic achievements and practical<br />
work experience.<br />
is to complete an application form. On the basis of the<br />
application form being selected, the next step is to<br />
prepare a detailed personal report covering education,<br />
work experience and professional approach to waste<br />
management. This is followed by an interview and<br />
committing to the ISWA’s Code of Ethics to undertake<br />
a life-long programme of continuous professional<br />
development.<br />
Since the programme began in 2006, one hundred and<br />
eight waste professionals from 18 different countries<br />
around the world have been certified within the ISWA<br />
International Waste Manager programme.<br />
The certification is awarded at four different levels:<br />
Technical, Intermediate, Advanced, and International,<br />
depending on how applicants meet the ISWA criteria.<br />
The criteria are based on a set of key identified attributes<br />
that become more rigorous the higher the level<br />
awarded. The Technical level has been established to<br />
enable those with substantial practical experience<br />
but who lack academic qualification.<br />
The process is straightforward and very similar to the<br />
stages involved in applying for a new job. The first step<br />
The striking increase of International Waste Managers in<br />
2011 is due to the ISWA UN-Habitat Training Programme<br />
(see chapter 3.6.5.), which was attended by 58 Iraqi<br />
trainees, who on completion of the Training Course were<br />
awarded Technical Status in the IWM Programme.<br />
The number of currently registered International Waste<br />
Managers may vary from the total amount below, as not<br />
all who have been certified remain actively registered<br />
in the programme.<br />

Waste Manager please view the brochure available on<br />

3.9. Awards<br />
ISWA Communication Award<br />
Each year ISWA honours an excellent Waste Communication<br />
Campaign that increases public awareness and<br />
promotes sustainable waste management. The awarded<br />
campaign is recognised at the ISWA Annual Congress.<br />
The award is open for participation for both ISWA<br />
members and non-ISWA members.<br />
2011 Communication Award Winners<br />
Overall there were nine entries for this award, representing<br />
seven countries and three continents. The quality of<br />
the entries was so good that it was difficult to determine<br />
which would be the best entries from an initial scan of<br />
the entries. Fortunately the judges had clear guidelines<br />
for the judging with 9 criteria being set for each of the<br />
