9.2.4 Ministry of Urban Development, Housing and Construction

The Ministry of Urban Development, Housing and Construction (MoUDHC) is responsible for the safe collection and disposal of household solid waste through urban development bureaus, offices, municipalities and enterprises. As you read in Study Session 6, Urban WASH is one of the components of the OWNP and will address solid and liquid waste management in towns. (Solid waste is refuse and garbage; liquid waste means all types of wastewater, including human bodily wastes.) The MoUDHC is mostly concerned with solid waste, but it also works on liquid waste management in large town municipalities.
