UNDP Ukraine’s Accelerator Lab jointly, with the Center for Innovations Development launched the “Don’t Burn – Compost” Challenge for responsible communities across Ukraine, with the aim of preventing the burning of stubble, fallen leaves, organic waste and other garden and agricultural waste in their communities.
The pilot project is designed to run for two months. In early June 2020, the project organizers will analyse the results of the spring fires prevention campaign, taking into account satellite monitoring data and data collected by local volunteers, and present the best practices for tackling this problem in Ukrainian communities. Applications from communities are to be submitted by 14 April. Detailed information about the conditions for participation and the project’s concept are available at this link.
