The primary objective of the debris management workshop was to support local authorities at the district and sub-district level in Kirkuk Governorate to develop debris management plans, which take into account the aforementioned factors as well as bring together key stakeholders that can both contribute to the plan and support its implementation. The workshop was also a unique event gathering for the first time all relevant parties for the specific purpose of discussing and agreeing on fundamental issues relating to debris management; something that had not happened yet in the Governorate of Kirkuk.
