The Waste Flagship Programme as an example of success

10th July 2019 CCAC - ISWA Session – IFAT Africa 2019 6

The Project: GIZ/DEA Flagship Project

• Develop intervention strategies and analyse scenarios to improve Integrated Waste Management Systems emphasizing diversion of [organic] waste from landfill

• Identify potentially “bankable” projects from the scenarios and develop business and implementation plans to unlock GCF funding/ government grant funding/ private sector investment

• Emphasis on climate change mitigation

• Emphasis on Job creation!

• Catalyse learning & innovation and compile & disseminate lessons learnt

The Green Climate Fund as a source of funding

10th July 2019 CCAC - ISWA Session – IFAT Africa 2019 8

The GCF is a fund established within the framework of the UNFCCC as an

operating entity of the Financial Mechanism to assist developing countries in

adaptation and mitigation practices to counter climate change.

South Africa – Waste Flagship Programme

Current status:

✓ Programme across 30 Municipalities is developed at a concept note level

✓ 18 municipalities still to be identified

✓ 12 Business & Implementation Plans for 12 Municipalities finalised

✓ Concept Note & Proposal submitted to GCF for project preparation

✓ A funded activity agreement between DBSA and the GCF has been signed – for the first 6

Collaborative Co-Creation Approach leveraging project preparation funding

10th July 2019 CCAC - ISWA Session – IFAT Africa 2019 11

A methodology adapted and enhanced during the DEA/GIZ Waste Flagship

Programme, where each strategy, facilitated by the consultants, was developed

(created) in close collaboration with National DEA Officials, representatives of the GIZ,

and most importantly Local Municipal Officials, not only from the respective of Solid

Waste Management departments, but equally importantly with ALL decision makers –

Municipal Managers, CFO’s, Mayors and the like.

Business & Implementation Plans

Council Endorsement is Critical…

Council Resolution

10th July 2019 CCAC - ISWA Session – IFAT Africa 2019 30

Recommendations made to Municipal Council:

• Note the Municipality’s participation in the Programme;

• Note the Waste Diversion Strategy;

• Note the outcomes of the pre-feasibility level Business and Implementation Plan for the Project;

• Approve that the Project be included in-principle in the IDP, pending the outcome of the final feasibility;

• Commit the Municipality to continued engagement with the Waste Flagship Programme.

Key Lessons Learnt

10th July 2019 CCAC - ISWA Session – IFAT Africa 2019 32

• Identify champions as early as possible – the success hinges on this,

• Include all project stakeholders (client, municipalities, greater project team, etc.) from the outset,

• Engage with Municipalities on each key project report… avoid “here it is, read it and let me know…”

• Record “Lessons Learnt” for each municipality as the project progresses.

Lessons Learnt

10th July 2019 CCAC - ISWA Session – IFAT Africa 2019 33

Lessons Learnt

• The key issue is to take progressive steps

– The core support objective is not to submit a pre-feasibility report – but rather to identify

and enable a project that results in diversion of waste from landfill that is relevant to the

individual municipality

• This project requires ongoing strategic municipal decision making to achieve

implementation

– The municipal decision making is consequential – each decision opens up, and gives scope

and direction to, the next phase of the enquiry and implementation

– On-going progress reporting to decision making structures is critical
