The City of Ramallah will use its GCF grant to upgrade Qaddura Refugee Camp’s solid waste management system, refurbish its public park, and launch an awareness campaign about environmental stewardship for camp residents.
Working alongside the Qaddura Camp Services Committee, the project team will survey camp residents to identify their needs around waste collection. Using insights from this survey, the city will implement waste management reforms, including replacing the camp’s waste collection vehicle and installing over a hundred new garbage bins. To ensure the sustainability of its waste management reform, Ramallah will lead an awareness campaign to teach children living in the camp about environmental stewardship and proper waste disposal.
In addition, Ramallah will refurbish a popular recreationalpark in Qaddura. Improvements to the park will include safe spaces which promote healthy development. The park renovation will create an age-responsive and gender-inclusive public space for refugee children and their caregivers to play and interact.
Ramallah’s project will be implemented in close partnership with refugee leaders from Qaddura, ensuring that the park and waste management reform create a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for all residents. This project is supported by the Global Cities Fund for Migrants and Refugees.
