Banyuwangi Hijau is a program initiated by the Banyuwangi Government to realize a clean city through a comprehensive waste management system. The program is coordinated by the Environmental Office (DLH) of Banyuwangi Government, supported by a cross-sectoral working group.

These approaches aim to promote and reinforce proper waste management practices at both household and community levels.

To support the implementation and monitoring of this approach during Phase 3, the BCC team will recruit an additional Technical Assistant. This role will provide support for the strategic approach and field-level implementation, particularly for roll-out activities, achieving participation targets, and maintaining community participation following service roll-out.
