IMRWB (Inter-Municipal Waste Management Board) is a management mechanism that enables regional waste management policies and financing to be translated into actual service delivery. MRWM is a legal obligation and aims to provide a permanent mechanism for coordinating planning and investment, as well as improving compliance and services across both regions.

The Board will enable the implementation of laws and national strategic commitments in the field of waste management which:
 

• Mandate the regionalization of waste management and the establishment of a regional system for efficient and effective service provision.
   
• Provide for inter-municipal cooperation for planning (development and adoption of a new regional waste management plan), financing, and management of regional infrastructure (sanitary landfill, transfer stations, facilities for processing recyclable materials).
   
• Establish compliance obligations for municipalities, such as closing/remediating non-standard landfills, defining targets for selected waste, generating data and monitoring performance, and setting tariffs based on objective costs.
   
• Offer alignment with EU legislation, including the Waste Directive, the waste hierarchy, recycling targets, and landfill reduction, which is a prerequisite for accessing funds available from the EU, international financial institutions, and related donor programs.

The IMWMB will enable the operationalization of these legal obligations by providing a formal forum and decision-making body that will adopt regional plans, review urgent issues, approve investment plans, ensure monitoring and program compliance, and improve communication with citizens. Additionally, several waste projects are active in the regions requiring closer coordination, and the Board will be the right place for information exchange and open discussion.
