As Egypt moves closer toward a successful sector reform, the coming months and years will focus upon the need for local, national and regional implementation. This year's Forum looks in depth at the aspects associated with the actions required to turn the waste sector into tangible, visible and effective realities across all institutions. You will hear from some of the country's and world-leading experts in the field of waste management financing, institutional capacity building, waste services, community participation, waste treatment and technology and many other important subjects and attendance will also offer a great opportunity to network with your peers and colleagues. We have a programme of workshops that will enable you to pro-actively participate in shaping the future of waste management in Egypt.
