Case Study on the Deficiencies and Difficulties of Project Management since the Promotion Stage of Integrated Waste Systems

The present case study focuses on the shortcomings and difficulties encountered in the management of projects in the environment protection area, respectively of integrated waste management systems, observed in similar projects, promoted simultaneously in five counties in Romania, counties located in different development regions.

Thus, following a European funding, five counties were selected to receive free consultancy services for the elaboration of the county master in the field of environment protection, respectively waste management. One of the requirements that the counties had to fulfill was the expressed unequivocal willingness to implement the project at county level. A Project Implementation Unit (PIU) was set up at county council level with the precise purpose of managing and implementing the project.

Even though the counties benefited from free technical assistance, major delays in finalizing and approving the application were encountered in all the cases studied, due to reasons that depended mostly on the manner the project management was conducted.
