• Currently, resource recovery from e-waste inGhana is almost exclusively informally organized.
• It provides a livelihood for many, but also hassevere negative consequences.
• Materials that are of no use to the scrap workersare burnt or dumped into the environment,without considering the indirect costs that arecaused not only locally but also at the global level.
• Such practice gives the informal sector acompetitive advantage vis-à-vis recyclingenterprises in the formal sector, caring forenvironmentally sound and socially responsiblerecycling, applying occupational health and safetystandards and caring for proper treatment andelimination of hazardous substances.
INTRODUCTION Cont’d…. 4
www.mesti.gov.gh @mestighofficial
The government of Ghana recognized this challenge and passed the
following legislations to tackle the menace.
• Hazardous and Electronic Waste Control and Management Act (Act 917, 2016)
(Eco Levy)
• LI 2250
• Technical guidelines

SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING IN GHANA 6
www.mesti.gov.gh @mestighofficial
• Ghana is currently working on using two (2) approaches to ensuresustainable recycling. These are;
1. National Integrated Management System, which is part of the processes ofoperationalizing Act 917.
2. Support from Development Partners (Germany, Switzerland and the EU)among others.
• Ultimately, the Ministry is seeking to enhance job creation andemployment, ensure a clean environment and transform the scrap yardinto a collection, dismantling and recycling hub that is adequatelyregulated.
National Integrated E-WASTE Management System 13

SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING IN GHANA 6
www.mesti.gov.gh @mestighofficial
• The Environmentally Sound Management of E-Waste is one of the theProjects implemented by GIZ, with MESTI as the Project ExecutingAgency (PEA).
• The Project seeks to provide,
1. Policy Support
2. Development of Business Models
3. Support to the informal Sector

www.mesti.gov.gh @mestighofficial
• As part of the quest to implement the ACT 917, optimal recycling isrequired to define the roles of various actors within the e-waste valuechain.
• Consequently, a workshop on “E-Waste Recycling Options for Ghana”provided different options for e-waste recycling in Ghana.
• This was a basis for feasibility studies on each option to facilitate decisionmaking.
• A follow-up workshop for the Ministry of Environment, Science Technologyand Innovation (MESTI) as well as its Agency the Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) was conducted and a proposed Optimal Recycling Optiondeveloped.

POLICY DIALOGUE 9
www.mesti.gov.gh @mestighofficial
• The Ministry is developing a National EEE Management and ControlPolicy with the objective of;
✓Establishing an effective, accountable and transparent framework formanaging and controlling Environmentally Sound Disposal,
✓Collection and Recycling of WEEE in Ghana.
• The Policy Dialogue serves as input into the stakeholder engagementprocesses.

OUTLOOK

OUTLOOK 12
www.mesti.gov.gh @mestighofficial
• Ghana will be implementing an E-Waste Optical Recycling thatcombines manual dismantling and optimal recycling facilities setupswith approval from the EPA according to the legal instruments andtechnical guidelines.
• Proposed activities (in fig. 2 SLIDE 10) will also feed into the formationof the National EEE Management and Control Policy.

Strategic Objectives
❖Support GASDA in strengthening their organizational capacities
❖Provide Peace building Processes at the scrap yard
Joint Working Group Meeting at GIZ
The meeting resulted in the formation of committee to look into the draft constitution of GASDA
Tension among leaders was significantly reduced
Leaders affirmed the GIZ process
Meeting of Peace Champions at the Bukom Boxing Arena
The meeting highlighted the need for Peace at the Scrap Yard
▪ Meeting with Accra Dagomba Naa
▪ Find Traditional solutions to some of the problems
▪ The ultimate goal is to get the overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa informed about the process
▪ Meetings has been held with the political leadership to secure their commitment
General Challenges
❖A seeming political tensions in Accra and the area.
❖Though early days, a fragile peace in the north (the hometown of
scrap dealers)
❖Constant threat of ejection of scrap dealers of those at the
Mortuary Road by AMA
❖Fear of constituents accepting the vision of leadership

Background & introduction
• Establishment of a National E-waste Fund
• Filled by e-waste levies on imported equipment
• To be used for sound management of e-waste and to reduce negative impacts.
• Amongst others, also for “incentives for collection, transportation and disposal”
Main objectives of this project module:• To pilot incentive based collection of worst polluting e-waste types

Starting point
• First in-field test of Piloting Payment System with a handover centre
Sub-objectives
• Gain practical experiences how the informal scrap market will react on such an incentive system.
• Test and evaluate various practical issues (stakeholder interaction, incentive levels, transaction modalities….).
• Document & share lessons-learned with policy-makers (MESTI, EPA, KfW…)

➢ 10 months of operation (22.10.18 – 20.08.19)
➢ 27.3 t of cables collected & channeled to sound recycling
➢ 1389 individual transactions
➢ Significant emission reduction
➢ Established alternative to burning that does not discriminate small scale collectors and recyclers
ResultsIncentive based collection of e-waste:

15World Resources Forum23.-24.10.2019
➢ Incentive based collection is a meaningful way to link informal collectors to sound recycling and to avoid polluting practices carried-out under informal conditions.
➢ Beneficiaries are:
➢ Collectors → higher prices for some e-waste types
➢ Formal recyclers → stable access to e-waste
➢ Society → Reduced pollution
ResultsIncentive based collection of e-waste:

16World Resources Forum23.-24.10.2019
➢ Suitable for waste types that:
➢ are associated with high environmental impacts if not managed properly
➢ can easily distinguished from other waste types
➢ where standards, auditing & sanctions are prone to failure (informal sector settings)
➢ Ongoing financing needed → e.g. EPR-based financing
➢ Very good monitoring of costs and results possible (collected volumes & emission reductions)
