Effective solid waste management has been a major concern for Solomon Islands for a very long time and a number of attempts have been made to develop a National Solid Waste Management Strategy for the country. The concerns about waste have been raised by various stakeholders and community members in the city and the wider provinces. The generation and disposal of wastes has direct and indirect linkages to human welfare and economic development. For instance, potential for contamination of food supplies can have impacts on local markets or revenue from export crops. Moreover, there are numerous health and environmental hazards that arise when wastes are poorly managed and disposed.

Samoa's National Environmental Capacity Strategy (NECS) is drawn on the assessment and analysis of priority thematic and cross-cutting capacity needs. These needs have identified priority actions for capacity development and opportunities to promote synergies across the 3 Conventions which are highlighted as project profiles in the NECS. Strategies to implement these project profiles including means of monitoring and evaluation of outcomes are also highlighted in the NECS.
