The main goal of this BMZ funded project of the IWMI – WLE Resource Recovery and Reuse program is to develop curricula for innovative technologies and investment models that transfer organic waste into organic fertilizer for different soils, crops and climates in South Asia. Targeted outputs are (i) technical guidelines for public and private sector on producing safe fecal sludge-based fertilizer pellets; (ii) verification of the local soil-crop responses to different pellet qualities and quantities; (iii) an analysis of the investment climate for RRR options in selected countries in South Asia, and (iv) the development of curricula for students and practitioners interested in waste valorization business models and their enabling conditions.
