Result of Service
- The objective of the consultancy aims to create a comprehensive, user-friendly waste-to-energy assessment tool tailored to Caribbean countries. This tool will evaluate the technical feasibility, environmental impact, economic viability, and social acceptance of waste-to-energy proposals, helping stakeholders determine if a proposal is worth further detailed evaluation. The development involves understanding current waste management practices, defining key assessment criteria, developing the tool's framework and interface, pilot testing, gathering feedback, and providing training. The tool will be launched with ongoing bolstering and updates to ensure its effectiveness. Existing assessment experiences will also be reviewed, e.g. those conducted by the EU in Barbados or the UNEP International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) and GIZ. The assessment tool will be applied in at least two Caribbean countries. Under the overall supervision of the UNEP Regional Project Coordinator, Zero Waste in the Caribbean Project, Caribbean Sub Regional Office, the consultant will be responsible for the following activities: 1. Analyse existing and suitable solid waste management options in the Caribbean, with a focus on waste to energy solutions. This includes examining current waste management provisions, identifying barriers and opportunities for improvement, and considering circular economy approaches linked to climate change and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Existing assessment experiences, such as those by the EU in Barbados or UNEP's International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) and GIZ, will be reviewed to inform the development of the assessment tool. This tool will be applied in at least two Caribbean countries to gather data and insights for further refinement. 2. Develop a regional waste-to-energy assessment tool or adapt a waste-to-energy assessment tool specifically for the Caribbean region. This tool will serve as a preliminary guide to evaluate the pros and cons of waste-to-energy proposals or concepts. Its development will be informed by existing regional research, available guidance materials, and past assessment experiences, ensuring it addresses the unique circumstances and requirements of the Caribbean. The tool will help stakeholders make informed decisions about whether to proceed with more detailed evaluations of these proposals. 3. Identify two (2) pilot countries and test the regional waste-to-energy assessment tool. This pilot phase aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing waste-to-energy solutions compared to other waste management options, taking into account the specific needs and priorities of the Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM) countries. The process will involve a detailed analysis of existing waste management practices, infrastructure, and potential for waste-to-energy projects. In addition, guidance will be provided on alternative waste management strategies to ensure a comprehensive evaluation. The insights gained from these pilot tests will refine the tool and provide actionable recommendations for enhancing waste management practices across the region. Under the overall supervision of the UNEP Regional Project Coordinator, Zero Waste in the Caribbean Project, Caribbean Sub Regional Office, the consultant will deliver the following products: Product No. 1: Report outlining work methods of the consultancy including stakeholder engagement processes and data collection, and the assessment of existing and suitable solid waste management options in the Caribbean, with a focus on waste to energy compiled and designed in a form that will facilitate converting it into a virtual toolkit. Product No. 2: A document in the form of an assessment tool, structured in a practical way, to serve as a preliminary guide in assessing the pros and cons of a waste-to-energy proposal or concept, using existing research in the region, available guidance materials and existing assessment experiences. Deliverable to be presented to Project Regional Technical Advisory Committee (RTAC). Product No. 3: A document defining two (2) countries selected, and the justification based on the selection criteria, including the consultation and validation process with the countries. The document will include also the testing plan of the tool including key stakeholders to be engaged and results of the pilot testing. Product No. 4: A document reflecting outcome of main elements of the execution of the assignment including recommendations for subsequent phases or associated technical input to project countries. Revised assessment tool based on feedback from the testing phase.
