Managing Solid Waste in Secondary Cities

Focusing projects on a few, contiguous areas can facilitate cross-learning thereby improving implementation and heightening impacts. The project was implemented in four aimag centers selected by the executing agency which are not geographically close. It could have been more beneficial if the project were implemented in neighboring aimags to allow the beneficiaries to learn from one another and observe spillover effects of project activities. Alternatively, the project could have focused on just two aimags to amplify its benefits, rather than spreading limited investments over the four cities.
