The objective of this consultancy is to strengthen solid waste management legal and strategic frameworks in Caribbean countries, by developing a regional guidance framework for strategic planning and national action in the waste sector, and providing support to the development of national strategic planning and legislative frameworks in target countries.

Under the overall supervision of UNEP Regional Coordinator of Chemicals and Pollution programme, LAC Office, in coordination with the head of UNEP's Sub-regional Office in the Caribbean and the UNEP Regional Coordinator of Environmental Governance, LAC Office,, and in coordination with other key partners, the consultant will be responsible for the following activities:
1. Analyse and assess solid waste management legal and strategic frameworks in the Caribbean countries, considering the provisions on waste management and the barriers and opportunities to strengthen them, as well as the circular economy approaches and linkages to related agendas, in particular climate change and NDC. This will be done considering national information as well as existing assessments, reports and publications developed by UNEP and relevant partners in this area, such as the analysis and recommendations made in the Caribbean Waste Management Action Plan (2018; 2021).

2. Development of a regional guidance on legal and strategic frameworks for the strategic planning and national action in the waste sector in Caribbean countries, based on previously conducted analysis and evaluation of the legal and strategic frameworks for solid waste management in the Caribbean countries. This document will be developed to serve as a reference for Caribbean countries, that can be tailored to specific national and local circumstances. The guidance shall include relevant sections such as legal and technical terminology, considerations of the process to develop policies and regulations, model provisions, examples and case studies with lessons learnt from the region. The guidance shall be compiled and designed in a form that will facilitate converting it into a virtual toolkit at a later stage, for ease of targeted utilization and updating.

3. Identification of five (5) pilot countries in the region to provide support to the development of national strategic planning and legislative frameworks, including the integration of circular economy approaches and the alignment with NDCs. Target countries will be selected based on a range of priority criteria, such as high-level expressed interest, policy and regulatory gaps, updating requirements, and capacity needs, amongst others, in collaboration with the other project partners.

4. Provide technical assistance to five (5) target countries to support the development of national strategic planning and legislative frameworks. Specific advice will be provided to target countries for the development of national strategic policies or plans, and the design and drafting of legislative frameworks and regulations. A holistic approach to sustainable waste management will be promoted in these policies and regulations, including the integration of the principles and elements to promote a circular economy, sustainable consumption and waste minimization, and the alignment with NDCs. Coherent institutional and enabling frameworks will also be promoted to facilitate the implementation and enforcement of policies and regulations. National dialogues and multi-stakeholder and inter-institutional platforms and processes will be facilitated as appropriate.
