The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), in partnership with the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), India, has unveiled a Solid Waste Information Management System (SWIMS)<\/b>, a centralised digital platform designed to streamline waste data collection and management across Uganda.<\/span><\/p>\n

The system, developed by CSE working closely with the Division of Environmental Inspection, Monitoring and Audit and officially handed over to NEMA, will serve as a national repository for solid waste information. It will enable evidence-based planning, monitoring, and enforcement of waste management policies, while supporting Uganda\u2019s transition towards sustainable urban development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Implementation of SWIMS will be carried out in collaboration with stakeholders from local governments and urban authorities nationwide. This initiative marks a significant step in strengthening Uganda\u2019s environmental governance and ensuring that waste management decisions are guided by accurate, timely, and comprehensive data.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe launch of SWIMS represents a milestone in Uganda\u2019s journey towards efficient waste management. By centralising data, we are empowering institutions and communities to take informed action for a cleaner, healthier environment,\u201d said Mr. Victor Nahabwe, Commissioner Environment Enforcement and Field Operation, NEMA during the handover ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n
