Tonkin + Taylor International remotely supported a number of local governments, the Environmental Protection Authority and volunteer staff to deliver the waste audit programme.

Following the delivery of the waste audits in the Cook Islands and Fiji, Tonkin + Taylor delivered audits for SPREP across the four states in the FSM, both Majuro and Ebeye in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Vanuatu and Nauru. The same methodology was applied across the Pacific, to ensure that data collection was consistent. A key component of the waste audits successful delivery was active communication with in-country stakeholders, who delivered the audits, but also those who contributed data.

Innovations delivered

Tonkin + Taylor International supported the remote delivery of five waste data collection surveys which involved the collection and physical sorting of waste samples, interviews, landfill audits and stockpile assessments. Tasks also included the identification of collection locations using ArcGIS for random location selection, waste survey design and creation, and remote training of in-country audit teams.

Ongoing remote support was provided throughout the duration of the project which included daily data review and feedback based on submitted data by in-country teams.  The data analysis included the assessment of landfill data, projecting annual tonnages to landfill, based on visual assessment data (volume and waste types).
