Project Description

IFC shall act as the Lead Transaction advisor to the Municipality of Curitiba (the client) for the structuring of a public-private partnership (PPP) for the collection, transfer, disposal and treatment of the municipalitys waste. Through this PPP, the client seeks to design a modern, integrated, waste management system with a focus on the effective treatment of waste. In addition, the client wishes to reduce the waste buried in landfills and increase its use in the production of alternative energy.

Private sector participation offers the opportunity to enhance efficiency and lower costs through the introduction of commercial principles, greater attention to customer satisfaction and access to sector innovations and best practice. In addition, the private sector is well positioned to draw on local and international experience in the waste management field and introduce proven and cost effective technologies along with management expertise.
