Waste Management Improvement Project
The Waste Management Improvement Project is an initiative promoted by the Municipality of Cayambe since 2001 in place of the collapse of this service in 2000. Within the framework of a health and environmental emergency, this project sought technical support from several NGOs, as well as the Department of the Environment of Ecuador, and developed a system for the treatment, collection and environmental management of organic and inorganic waste. Citizen participation had different dimensions. On the one hand, it was developed through waste classification, the primary phase of the project. On the other hand, through an NGO, it participated in the realization of training campaigns to carry out the tasks of waste classification. Given the importance of the campaigns, they have officially become part of the annual activities and are included in the budget of the Municipality.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
