Towards meeting these objectives, excavation works at the Sofa sanitary landfill site started successfully in December 2016 and have been progressing during the reporting period. In addition, the current waste pickers in Al-Fukhari dumpsite have been provided with safe exit from the dangerous conditions in the existing Al-Fukhari dumpsite following the provision of temporary jobs for the period of three months in the member municipalities of the Joint Services Council for Solid Waste Management for Khan Younis, Rafah, and Middle Area. In the meantime, a more sustainable scheme for alternative livelihoods for waste pickers remains to be implemented, keeping close monitoring with UNDP DEEP Program for the inclusion of the waste pickers in next training session, scheduled for completion in February 2018. The ancillary works crucial to the operation of the landfill including a portion of the transfer stations and access road have yet to be contracted. In addition, the closure of the two dumpsites have yet to be designed. These activities are important to reaching the project development objective and will need to be implemented in the timely manner to achieve the objective before project closure. A mid term review will be undertaken December 4 through 8, 2017 during which time the scope of the project, indicators, status and time period for execution will be reviewed to plan for the achievement of the project objectives under the project.
