National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE) Mission Support Contract - Natural Resources Protection: Technical Support for Environmental Economics Research and Analysis

Cities in developing countries and economies in transition struggle to develop effective waste management projects due to a range of financial barriers. These include limited awareness of financing options; lack of capacity to develop and execute contracts with the private sector; and limited access to certain types of financial support.

This area of work would concentrate on improving cities' financial readiness to improve their capacity to develop and implement organic waste management projects, such as biodigester projects, organic waste diversion strategies, and landfill gas energy projects.
