FIRST ANALYSIS OF THIS OBJECTIVE CONDUCTED IN AUGUST 2025

Category

Moderate progress

 

Detail

By 2022, 12,600 waste pickers had received training under the Argentina Recycles Programme, equivalent to 42% of the target of 30,000. According to the Undersecretariat of Environment’s response to the information request, the Organic Waste Recovery Programme (PROVO) assisted 55 municipalities through in-person, virtual and hybrid training activities on the treatment of the organic fraction. However, there is no consolidated total of people trained, including waste pickers and municipal stakeholders, or data series designed to prevent double counting, and the Argentina Recycles Programme is no longer active.

 

Given the significant progress accumulated up to 2022 and the deployment of technical activities across 55 municipalities, but the absence of official data for 2023–2025 and of a single national registry, the assigned category is “Moderate progress”. There has been material progress towards the target and capacities have been established, although there is a high risk that the trajectory will not be sustained in the absence of updated information and active programmes.
