Core Pillars of ALPWAM’s Work -

Core Pillars of ALPWAM’s Work

✤ A. Legal Reform & Advocacy

We use the law as a tool for systemic change—analyzing legal gaps, proposing amendments, and advocating for progressive waste governance frameworks at local, national, and regional levels.

✤ C. Community Empowerment

We center communities—especially youth and women—as co-creators of solutions. Through training, legal literacy, and participatory action, we amplify local voices in waste management discourse and decision-making.

✤ E. Circular Economy & Climate Resilience

We promote waste as a resource—encouraging innovation, upcycling, and circular economy approaches that transform waste into economic and health solutions while building climate resilience.

✤ B. Policy Dialogue & Research

We generate and disseminate empirical, policy-relevant research that guides decision-makers and engages diverse stakeholders in evidence-based policy development aligned with the SDGs and Agenda 2063.

✤ D. Environmental Justice & Strategic Litigation

We support legal redress where community rights are violated by environmental harm, and we mobilize legal strategies to hold duty bearers accountable for pollution, neglect, or exploitation.
