On March 1, 2023, WRI India hosted an inception workshop in Jalandhar to address urban transition challenges and foster a shared understanding among stakeholders. The workshop aimed to frame the transition challenge, define key issues, and identify thematic areas for meaningful engagement. A root cause analysis conducted during the workshop helped participants distill various urban sector challenges into critical root causes. Among the highlighted issues was inadequate and incomplete solid waste management, identified as a significant barrier to effective urban governance. This collaborative initiative marks an important step by WRI India in supporting Jalandhar's efforts toward sustainable and efficient urban development.
