- Introduction and Background
STT is a Cambodian Urban NGO working in Phnom Penh and provinces with poor communities affected by land and housing rights issues. Each year to support the advocacy work of STT and other partner organisations, STT undertakes research into key issues affecting urban poor communities under threat of eviction. Recently, STT has been working with communities, CINTRI (waste company) and the local government to try and understand how waste can be better managed in local communities. A key finding of the study was that many communities seem to just be ignored by the government and CINTRI when it comes to waste management. As such, waste presents a signifigant issue for urban poor and rural communities.

- Objectives
The purpose of this consultancy is to develop a manual that communities can refer to and use to increase their waste management options, achieve better communication with CINTRI and the government, and attain a higher standard of living.
- Methods and Tools
The consultant is expected to use participatory methods conducted through local research at the community level to develop the output. In addition, the consultant will have a good knowledge of waste management techniques and the Cambodian waste management field. Finally, the consultant is expected to spend some time training STT staff on the use of the deliverable – the community booklet.
