These two educational videos highlight the challenges and opportunities with waste management through the lens of the difficulties faced by Mandalay, Myanmar in dealing with an ever-increasing amount of municipal waste

Video 1 is a documentary, showing the crisis Mandalay is facing, and how the local and national governments, with the support of IGES CCET and UN Environment-IETC have drafted and begun implementing a strategy to address it.
