EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Development Innovations Group (DIG) is pleased to present its Annual Report for the USAID-funded and congressionally mandated Municipal Waste Recycling Program (MWRP), in compliance with DIG’s contract, AID-OAA-I-14-00066/AID-OAA-TO-16-00026. USAID has contracted DIG under the Making Cities Work (MCW) IDIQ to provide grants management and technical assistance to USAID in establishing a grants portfolio and recommending approaches for enhanced international cooperation. The grants portfolio is supporting initiatives to recycle waste that threatens human health and the physical environment, and which, if recycled, could generate income and produce energy. Program activities focus specifically on addressing ineffective municipal solid waste management (SWM) practices and reducing plastic pollution in the marine environment in Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. This report covers progress made during the second year of the Program (PY-2), from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018. During this year, DIG met all contractual deadlines and implemented all PY-2 Program activities in a timely manner, using the Program Year Two Work Plan as a guide. The second year of MWRP was an overall success, achieving major milestones and surpassing some targets. Building on the Program’s year one accomplishments, the second year was defined by the following noteworthy achievements: the signing of 14 grant agreements; the identification of a pipeline of viable SWM and recycling investment opportunities for the USAID Development Credit Authority (DCA); the successful integration of Indonesia into the Program; significant implementation progress
