2) Brief Background -The Contexts of Implementation of PLANET 3-
Cambodia is a county, which so far has carried out the dissemination of PLANET 1(Water) and 2 (Forest) through the support both financial and technical from ACCU and Government. Waste management is a major concern that the Ministry of Environment (MoE) pays a lot of attention. However, the dissemination of MoE's information and implementation have not yet made across and wide spread to all grassroots people. From the experiences of dissemination of PLANET 1 and 2, we found out that the efficient tools are education for the community in the spirit of preserving and love nature around us. Already, non-formal education has actively functioned and involved in providing environment education through its programmes. As the targets are important and not easy to get on well with, formal or non-formal education alone cannot achieve this successfully. Partners are the most helpful to involve the waste management education to grassroots level.
3) Objectives
To promote the critical knowledge on waste, all kinds of wastes being used
To disseminate the information on how the wastes harm to human health and the environment
To encourage and convince population to gain the essential methods to reduce, reused, and recycle the wastes through providing the "Waste Management Education Project"
To promote a healthy living and environmental society/community
