Strengthening capacities in the Western Balkan countries to address environmental problems through remediation of high priority hotspots: Lead and Zinc Tailing Mine Impoundment (TMI) in Mojkovac
Project Goal:
The remediation of the Led and Zinc Tailing Mine Impound in Mojkovac will remove the main barrier to investment in the Municipality of Mojkovac. In parallel to that process, UNDP in cooperation with the Municipality of Mojkovac will work establishing and implementing the strategy for sustainable development that will focus on economic valorization of protected areas, organic agriculture, nature based tourism, capacity building for municipal officials for implementation of the environmental management legislation, and support for small and medium local businesses.
Programme Components:
- Secure progress in clean-up activities in the Project “Remediation and recultivation of the Mojkovac lead and zinc tailings mine impoundment”
- Demonstration of concrete results of benefits of good environmental management to local communities through concrete pilot projects: demonstration of a notion that avoiding pollution than retroactively dealing with its consequences is financially and environmentally cheaper through focusing on sustainable development initiatives that are job and income generators through pilot projects in areas of: a) development of kayaking, hiking and biking, b) support to organic food production, and c) diversification of a tourism offer through inclusion and valorization of municipality’s natural and historical heritage. In addition, UNDP will: a) strengthen the local government’s capacity to develop and implement local environmental policies and investment projects; b) facilitate the participatory development of local plans and programmes such as physical or urban planning, regional development plans, management plans, and specific infrastructure projects.
- Enhanced regional co-operation through improved information sharing process and improvement of professional consultancy services regarding good environmental management: establishment of a database of national experts who will form a critical mass of knowledge and expertise for implementation of environmental management legislation.
