ABOUT THE AMBITIOUS CITY PROMISES (ACP) PROJECT
The Ambitious City Promises:
Commitments for low-carbon urban development in Southeast Asian large cities is
a 3.5-year international project being implemented by ICLEI – Local Governments
for Sustainability with support from the International Climate Initiative (IKI)
of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and
Nuclear Safety (BMU).
The project aims to support
selected large cities in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam to establish
strong greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction commitments, local climate action plans
directed by concrete targets, enhanced multi-stakeholder engagement and
integrated strategies. “City Promises” (city’s Local Climate Change Action
Plan) shall be developed in three model cities and their implementation shall
be outlined and initiated. Throughout the project period, each local government
will design locally-appropriate targets and action plans on the basis of their
development framework and priorities.
In Indonesia, the project works
with DKI Jakarta, Tangerang, and Bekasi1. DKI Jakarta government is committed
to reducing its 30% GHG emission reduction target from business-as-usual (BAU)
levels by 2030, as stated in Governor Regulation No. 131 Year 2012 on Local
Action Plan for DKI Jakarta’s GHG Emission Reduction. Based on the regulation
and result of a series of focus group discussions and public consultation with
various stakeholders and community groups, waste is one of the priority sectors
of DKI Jakarta to achieve its GHG emission reduction target.
DKI Jakarta faces challenges of
increasing waste volume and waste management. In 2017, DKI Jakarta generated
about 7,165 tons of waste per day; 6,872.18 tons per day is transported to the
final disposal site in Bantar Gebang located in Bekasi City. However, the waste
in this final disposal site is mostly unmanaged and it is foreseen that the
capacity of the landfill will be exhausted in about three years. There are
292.25 tons of waste per day which are not transported to the landfill site.
From these, only 9-10% are managed through composting and recycling processes
(Central Bureau of Statistics, 2018). Based on this data, effective waste
management at source is important in the overall strategy of DKI Jakarta in
significantly reducing its waste generation and disposal including its
associated costs. Furthermore, DKI Jakarta seeks to implement waste management
strategies that also deliver economic, social, and environmental co-benefits
driven by the active engagement of communities.
Therefore, through the ACP
project, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta and ICLEI seeks to implement
a pilot project on community-based waste management to demonstrate a solution
to address the current waste management challenges and to contribute to the
achievement of GHG reduction targets of DKI Jakarta. In particular, the pilot
project aims to implement a local and environment-friendly technology in
partnership with a local community. The pilot project also aims to demonstrate
the circular economy model by deploying a decentralized community-based waste
management system in DKI Jakarta. Hence, it can offer an alternative and
additional source of income for the beneficiary community, while raising
awareness among the community on community-based waste management.
TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR NATIONAL EXPERT ON COMMUNITY-BASED WASTE MANAGEMENT (CBWM) TECHNOLOGY
The project requires the
services of national expert on community-based waste management technologies.
The expert shall suggest an appropriate and environment-friendly technology to
be implemented at the project demo site, outline enabling conditions for the
implementation including operational model and development of monitoring
systems, and provide technical support during the implementation of the pilot
project.
SCOPE OF WORK
The following activities will
need to be undertaken in order to help meet the objectives of the project.
Conduct of technology impact
assessment for a community-based waste management
·
Rapid assessment of the economic, social, and environmental
impacts of the application of three potential technologies for community-based
waste management against three potential demo sites.
·
Based on the results of the assessment, recommend an appropriate
technology to be implemented in a project site that shall deliver the highest
GHG reduction potential as well as economic and social co-benefits to the
community. The recommendation shall undergo further review and validation by
ICLEI and DKI Jakarta prior to its implementation.
Conduct of technology
assessment and submission of technical viability
·
Conduct waste analysis and characterization study (WACS) and
scoping activities in the demo site to determine the recommended technology’s
social acceptability, technical feasibility, economic viability, environmental
soundness, estimated GHG reduction potential, and political acceptability.
·
Based on the results of the study and scoping activities, provide
detailed recommendations to guarantee the mitigation of potential economic and
environmental risks of the technology as well as to ensure the sustainability
of the pilot project.
·
The recommendations shall undergo further review and validation
by ICLEI and DKI Jakarta prior to its implementation. In order to eliminate the
risks posed by COVID-19, the consultant shall ensure that the conduct of
scoping activities shall not risk the health and safety of all partners by
exploring other means of facilitation (e.g. online survey, Zoom meetings,
designing physical meetings while keeping physical distancing, small group
meetings).
Technical support to the
project team and service provider
·
Support the project team in developing the terms of reference
(TOR) of technology service providers.
·
Support the project team and DKI Jakarta in the evaluation of
proposals of prospective technology service providers.
·
Coordinate and communicate with the technology service provider
to incorporate the results of the technical viability report in the system
design and operation.
·
Provide technical support to the project team in overseeing the
implementation (installation, commissioning, testing) as well as in the
monitoring and evaluation of the technology.
·
In cooperation with the technology service provider and CBWM
technology expert, design and deliver SOP manual and capacity building workshop
for the personnel to be in-charge (i.e. management, marketing, technicians) of
the daily operations of the CBWM project.
Monitoring and evaluation as
well as recommendations for scale-up
·
Document the progress and highlights of the project
·
In cooperation with the project consultant on developing a CBWM
project sustainability plan, develop a handbook on guidelines for other local
communities on choosing and adopting appropriate CBWM technology.
