Foreword

The formulation of the National Waste Management Strategy of Samoa is one of mandates under Waste Management Act 2010 and also triggered by the need to respond to significant changes in the waste sector in the Pacific Region and globally. In particular, the changing consumption pattern in the last ten years saw the proliferation of more wasteful imported products. With current constraints on land space, resources, inadequacy in institutional and human capacity, the increased generation of wastes becomes very challenging.

The sustained proper management of wastes will rely on a roadmap to guide the government and relevant stakeholders in delivering desired outcomes, by way of an endorsed strategy and its implementation. This National Waste Management Strategy will be a milestone for Samoa being the first to be endorsed. Through this Strategy, the Government of Samoa can facilitate approaches that minimizes the volume of wastes generated in the islands and diverting more wastes away from disposal sites with very limited capacity. This Strategy will also explore every possible opportunity to reduce, re-use and recycle waste materials to reduce operational costs and health/environmental impacts. Apart from this, resilience strategies through proper waste management can also contribute to addressing global issues such as resource depletion and climate change.

The Strategy also considers the National obligations in the SDGs Goal 11.6 specifically and the SDS which again in line with the current National Environment Sector Plan (NESP).

I would like to convey my sincere gratitude and appreciation with the continuous assistance and partnership with JICA through the Japanese Technical Cooperation Project for Promotion of Regional Initiative on Solid Waste Management in Pacific Island Countries Phase II (J-PRISM II) and the tireless assistance by SPREP in assisting Samoa in the Waste Management and thus the development of this National document to guide the sound and environmentally friendly management of wastes in Samoa.

Just a kind reminder to us all; “Waste Management is Everyone’s’ Responsibility.

Thank you,

Part 1 Executive Summary

1 Introduction

Improvement of waste management is a key environmental issue in Samoa and it is one of the global issues as well. Prior to the formulation of National Waste Management Strategy, “Cleaner Pacific 2025” which is waste management strategy for pacific region, was developed and addressed key waste issues and countermeasures at the regional level with action plan for 2016-2025 (SPREP, 2014). On the other hand, Samoan government addressed waste management in the Strategy for the Development of Samoa (SDS) 2016/17 - 2019/20 under priority area 4 Environment, which also refers relevant Sustainable Development Goals (MOF, 2016). National Environment Sector Plan (NESP) 2017-2021 (MNRE, 2017) also addressed waste management under “Sustainable and Resilient Built Environment”.

Formulation of National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) is also required under the Waste Management Act 2010 (MNRE, 2010). The act addresses 17 Functions of MNRE and the formulation of the NWMS is one of these functions. This strategy will guide the waste management of Samoa for the period of 2019 to 2023 based on the baseline data collected through several surveys and outcomes of series of discussions amongst stakeholders in broad aspects of waste management in Samoa. The NWMS will be revised in 2023 based on review of progress.

Considering the alignment and context mentioned above, as well as comments collected through consultation in the process of the formulation, National Waste Management Strategy (2019-2023) has been developed as integrated waste management strategy which targets both solid wastes and chemical and hazardous wastes to address priority actions to be taken for the next 5 years from 2019.

2 Scope of the NWMS

The NWMS has been developed by covering solid waste and chemical and hazardous waste. Solid waste which includes general waste generated from households and businesses, while chemical and hazardous waste is a substance or matter which is toxic or poisonous or may cause injury or damage to human health or the environment as well as those items specified under international conventions.

Part 2 Strategy Context

1 General Background

1.1 Geographic features and location

The Independent State of Samoa is situated in the south of equator, approximately 1,800 miles away from New Zealand and 80 miles away from American Samoa. The Independent State of Samoa consists of two main islands, Savaii and Upolu, with eight smaller islands Apolima, Manono, Fanuatapu, Namu’a, Nu’utele,Nu’ulua, Nu’ulopa, and Nu’usafe’e. The total land area is 2830 square km. (SBS, 2018).

Figure 2-1 Map of Samoa

Samoa is rich in nature resources and 60 percent of area is forested as of 2009 (FAO, 2009). Both of main islands have relatively mountainous landscape with symbolic mountains, the Mount Fito (1,110m) in Upolu Island and the Mount Silisili (1,848m) in Savaii Island. While most of the settlements are concentrated along the narrow flat land along costal line for both of main islands. Road network is developed on both islands connecting all villages.

Samoa has a tropical climate with distinction dry season (May-Oct) and wet season (June-Sep). The average temperature is 26-27 degree Celsius throughout the year (MNRE, 2016). Occasionally, tropical cyclone strikes the nation and causes serious impacts on SWM.

1.2 Population

According to the national census (SBS, 2017), the population as of 2016 is 151,364 in Upolu, 884 in Manono, 96 in Apolima and 43,499 in Savaii with a total population of 195,843. The total population in 2023 is estimated to be 207,075 with the annual population growth rate of 1,605 persons/year.

Figure 2-3 Population estimates of Samoa


12

1.3 Social organization

The nation is divided into 48 districts with total of 338 villages. At the village level, the governance is through a traditional body of village councils. The village council consists of matais representative of each family in the village. The Matai plays an important role in broad aspect of local community affairs by making important decisions for the village and formulation of village rules and laws. Village mayors are the Government arm as a representative of the Government in the village under the administration of the MWCSD.

Further, each village appoints a representative called sui o le nuu from the matai which works for interactive communication between the government and the village.

Samoan government usually consults these representatives and ascertains the cooperation from the community for implementing the Strategies, Policies, etc. The following table shows the number of districts and villages in Samoa (SBS, 2017).

2 Understanding Solid Waste Management System

This section highlights baseline information on SWM and also provides legal framework which governs the overall management of solid waste on the national level.

2.1 Waste generation amount and composition

Waste amount and composition is one of the fundamental indicators of SWM which enables to estimate the amount of waste generated in the country and thus highlight the dominant waste category occupies by ratio in total. Two different concepts of “waste amount” were adopted to consider waste amount and composition. One is “Waste generation amount” and the other is “Waste discharged amount”. “Waste generation amount” refers to all kinds of waste generated at generation source. “Waste discharged amount” only includes waste categories which are discharged on the platform (Waste collection point). There is also a concept of “Potential Waste” which could be waste but are not generated actually by practicing Reduce, Reuse, Refuse and Repair policy at waste generation source but it is quite difficult to measure the potential waste amount, hence this concept was excluded from the analysis. Above mentioned concept of “waste amount” is summarized in the figure below.

Figure 2-4 Concept of waste amount

The Waste Generation Amount and Waste discharged amount and those compositions were surveyed with Waste Audit conducted in Nov 2017. The audit was conducted by collecting waste samples from selected 40 households with 365 persons in 5 villages for 1 week. As a result of the survey, the waste generation amount was identified as 1,060 g/person/day and discharged amount was 387g/person/day. Major waste categories in discharged waste were organic waste (Green waste + Food scrap) (43%) followed by Plastics (16%), paper and cardboard (13%) and Diaper (12%).

Comparing the result with waste audit results in 2011 (MNRE, 2011), there is a slight increase in waste discharge amount (7g/person/day). If we consider entire of Samoa, waste discharge amount is estimated as 71.4 ton/day as of 2011 with the population of 187,820, while it is estimated as 76.4 ton/day with the population of 197,448 as of 2017 which indicates 5 tons of increase in daily waste discharge amount nationwide. As for waste composition, organic waste (Green waste, food scrap) is still the most dominant category in household waste. The composition was changed slightly by increase of paper, cardboard, plastics and textiles.

2.2 Waste collection

2.2.1 Waste collection system

MNRE provides waste collection service for all households and small businesses located in collection zone by its contractors.

Majority of the households and small businesses located in the collection zones have “Plat form” which are raised waste collection (or discharge) point made of concrete block or other locally available materials and are visually placed along the roadside.

On the other hand, there are households which don’t have access to the waste collection services although they are located within the collection zone. Actual situation of collection points and collection service provided by contractors in both Upolu Island and Savaii Island were surveyed through the time and motion survey conducted in 2017.

Table 2-4 below summarizes collection points confirmed in time and motion survey in Upolu Island.

Among 6,260 collection points, waste of 5,287 collection points (84.5 percent) were collected while 34 (0.5 percent) were mistakenly not collected. The other 939 collection points (15.0 percent) were without waste even though the day was the collection day.

Except for the above mentioned collection points, there were 258 cases confirmed that even there were not collection points but waste was collected directly from resident.

Basically, the collection vehicle stops by each of collection points and collect the waste discharged on the collection points. As for those houses without collection points, the waste only collected when the residents of those houses are waiting in front of the road with the waste when the collection vehicle arrives, otherwise their wastes are not collected and which might potentially cause open dumping.

Table 2-3 Collection Point in Upolu Island

Category No. Proportion (%) Collected CP 5,287 84.5 Uncollected CP 34 0.5 Empty CP 939 15.0 Total No of CP 6260 100.0 Waste collected without CP 258


17

There are 14 zones in the Upolu and 4 zones in the Savaii. The coverage of collection service for each zone was identified based on the actual track taken at the time and motion survey. As a result, approximately 60 percent of the length of designated road was collected while the other 40 percent of the road was not collected.

The overall result of time & motion survey indicates that contractors are mostly collecting waste in the area where they normally take, while not covering all the designated areas.

In order to examine the cause of the low collection coverage, implementation of regular monitoring on contractor’s performance and user’s discharge manner as well as development of user database to identify the location of problematic points are required.

2.3 Final disposal

2.3.1 Location and area of landfill

In Samoa, there are 2 approved landfills namely, Tafaigata Landfill and Vaiaata Landfill. There are 15.4 acres for Tafaigata and 9.8 acres for Vaiaata Landfill including related functions or facilities of landfills. However, there is no system in place to monitor the remaining capacity and operation.

Table 2-5 Outline of approved landfill in Samoa

Tafaigata Landfill Vaiaata Landfill Location Tafaigata, Upolu Island Vaiaata, Savaii Island Area of Landfill 15.4 acres 9.8 acres

2.3.2 Functions of landfills

There are known and systematic functions of landfills. There is a waste separation and collection system already in place at Tagfaigata Landfill. Basically recyclables at the landfill area are separately collected by registered waste pickers and recyclers based within the landfill site and recyclers buy those recyclables from the waste pickers. There is composting yard within the landfill area at Tafaigata Landfill but currently not fully functioning due to lack of staffs with relevant skills.

2.4 Revenue and expenditure on SWM

In Samoa, SWM is under MNRE’s responsibility and the revenue for implementing SWM is covered by tax, grants and other revenue of Samoan government. While, tipping fees at the Tafaigata Landfill is the only source of revenue for the government from SWM. When it comes to the balance between revenue and expenditure specifically for SWM, revenue is far less than expenditure. In this regards, implementation of SWM in Samoa is highly depended on the availability of other sources of revenue. Recently, expenditure for SWM service tends to increase significantly. Considering the above mentioned situation, there is an ongoing discussion within the government to increase the revenue collection through a “pay user system” which basically collects waste fee from users of waste collection services.

Revenue and expenditure on SWM in MNRE is summarized in table below.

Table 2-8 Revenue and expenditure on SWM in MNRE

Revenue Tipping fee at Tafaigata Landfill $102,959.00 Expenditure Waste Collection $2,360,104.37 Litter maintenance $433,637.64 Landfill maintenance $443,805.00 Lawn maintenance $25,450.00 Total $3,262,997.01

2.5 Statistic information availability on SWM

Some of the statistic information on SWM were updated through baseline survey conducted in 2017. Based on the result of the survey, baseline of some key SWM indicators were identified as of 2017 and which are the basis of future planning and target goals of the NWMS. On the other hand, there are still SWM indicators which are not available and to be identified in the future. In addition to that, current available SWM indicators also need to be updated on a regular basis subject to monitoring of any changes occurred during a certain period.

2.6 3R activities

Most of the 3R activities are related to the view of values, lifestyles and culture of people. Generally, the concept of 3R is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

2.6.1 Reduce

Reduce is a practice of not generating waste as much as possible, which is prior to recycle but it is difficult to quantify the baseline with statistics. Several practices related to reduce were confirmed in the community by sharing the food for reducing food waste. Avoiding of disposal of certain items also contributes to reduction of wastes. The Reduce concept also contributes to minimize the expenditures and can be promoted with optimization of household economy.


23

2.6.2 Reuse

Reuse is a practice of using the same material repeatedly as much as possible which is also prior to recycle and again, it is difficult to quantify the baseline with statistics. Basically, glass bottles of local beverages in Samoa are being reused but not recycled through a refund system.

2.6.3 Recycle (and return)

Recycle is a practice to produce new products or materials from the ones that are out of use. It is the last option and is specifically for certain materials such as aluminum cans, etc.

When it comes to recycle, many people think about recycling of industrial products with high technology. However, the concept of recycle also refers composting which has been practiced since long ago traditionally.

2.6.4 Recycle of industrial product included in wastes in Samoa

Since Samoa is highly depended on import for domestic consumption, most of the wastes are generated from products imported from overseas particularly from packaging. In many cases, packages of those products or products themselves are recycled in the country where the products are manufactured, while those are just landfilled together with other wastes in Samoa due to absence of a proper recycling system. The only exception, is for recyclables with relatively high value in the world market which can produce some profit by collecting in Samoa and exporting to the country where those materials can be re-processed and recycled. Among the waste streams of households and small businesses, aluminum cans are the only material that are collected in Samoa and exported to New Zealand, Australia and etc.

2.6.5 Composting in Samoa

Composting can be divided into two categories by the location of composting. On-site compost is a way of composting practiced at waste generation source usually at household level. While Off-site composting is a way of composting practiced at designated place developed for composting and organic wastes collected from several waste generation sources. Off-site compost is adopted usually for composting green waste generated from businesses.

There are composting practiced in Samoa but there are no statistical data readily available.

On-site composting at household level was confirmed during the waste audit. People generally apply green waste to the roots of plant in their home gardens as nourishment and it is called mulching. Since green waste and food scrap are the main components of the discharged waste from household, promotion of composting can be an option to reduce the waste generation amount.

2.8 Legal and institutional framework

The section summarizes existing legal framework and describes the current functions of MNRE as specified in the Waste Management Act 2010.

2.8.1 Lands, Surveys and Environment Act 1989

This act was developed in 1989 under the Department of Land, Surveys and Environment. In relation to waste, the Division 8 “Litter Control” prescribed the provisions for litter control measures. It lumps up dumping and depositing of wastes as littering in public places and private lands. The division 8 also imposes penalties on breaching provisions of the Act in general.

2.8.2 Waste Management Act 2010

This act is the most fundamental legal framework on waste management in Samoa. It defines the roles and responsibilities of MNRE and relevant stakeholders by waste category in the general context of waste management. There are 17 MNRE’s mandated functions. MNRE is willing to fulfill those functions as the main responsible ministry for waste management. However, the insufficient capacity of MNRE limits its ability to fulfill its obligations. The current status of MNRE’s performance for each of the functions is summarized in the Table 2-2.

2.8.3 Waste (Plastic Bag) Management Regulations 2018

This Regulations repeals the Plastic Bag Prohibition on Importation Regulation 2006. The primary objective of the Regulations is to ban certain plastic materials in particularly shopping bags, packing bags and straws. It is evident that more than 12.7 Mt of plastics entered the oceans globally. The adverse impact in the marine resources from plastics has turn the tide for countries to implement actions to prohibit the use of certain plastic materials.

The Regulations highlighted that a person who in possession of plastic, Styrofoam plastic or straw for the purpose of:

a. Manufacturing; or

b. Exportation; or

c. Selling and distribution in Samoa

Is prohibited.

3 Understanding Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management System

3.1 Current situation of Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management

Chemical use in Samoa is relatively small, although demand is rapidly rising with increased economic development and improved living standards. About 117 million Samoan Tala was expended on chemical imports in 2009, with petroleum products 82%, consumer chemicals 6%, industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals 5% each, and pesticides 2%. But while recognizing the important role that chemicals play in national development, there is also growing alarm about the hazardous nature of chemicals and their adverse effects on human health and the environment. Concerns have been raised on the lack of effective control of chemical imports, unsafe usage, and improper disposal of chemical waste. To integrate the Chemical and Hazardous component of the Strategy, the national chemical and hazardous status has been analyzed and summarized below:

International linkages / Implementation of MEAs: strong linkages were established between the government of Samoa and the secretariats of the international chemical and waste conventions, but capacity for effective implementation was lacking.

Chemical Trade and use: There was limited knowledge of actual inventories of chemical imports and subsequent chemical waste.

Priority concerns related to chemicals during their life cycle: one of the main concerns in Hazardous and Chemical management was the lack of knowledge of the movement of chemicals – from imports to waste.

Legal instruments and non-regulatory mechanisms for hazardous and chemical management: existing chemical laws were inconsistent and fragmented, resulting in a lack integrated or interagency approach to hazardous and chemical management.

Government agencies and private sector organizations participating in hazardous and chemical management: there was limited participation in hazardous and chemical management activities by private sector companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Interagency commissions and coordinating mechanisms: there was limited cooperation and collaboration among government agencies and organizations involved in hazardous and chemical management.

Data access and use: there was lack of information sharing and data exchange among the key chemical stakeholders including regulators, importers users and communities.

Technical Infrastructure: there were no national bodies with the facilities for scientific research and technical assessment, except for the newly established Scientific Research Organization of Samoa (SROS). There were also no storage, recovery and disposal facilities for hazardous and chemical management in the country.

Awareness and understanding of stakeholders: a number of mechanisms have been developed to promote public awareness generally, but very little was done to create specific understanding among stakeholders of the risks to health and the environment from exposure to hazardous chemicals.

Resources available and needed for hazardous and chemical management: insufficient financial and other resources were allocated for the implementation of chemical management program.


33

3.2 Legal and institutional framework

3.2.1 Waste Management Act 2010

This act is the most fundamental legal framework on waste management in Samoa. It defines the roles and responsibilities of MNRE and relevant stakeholders by waste category in the general context of waste management. There are 17 MNRE’s mandated functions. MNRE is willing to fulfill those functions as the main responsible ministry for waste management. However, the insufficient capacity of MNRE limits its ability to fulfill its obligations. The current status of MNRE’s performance for each of the functions is summarized in the Table 2-2. Regarding to chemical and hazardous waste, the Act also highlighted the Conventions that Samoa has already a party of.

3.2.2 Waste Management (Importation of Waste for Electricity Generation) Regulations 2015

This regulation developed in 2015 cited as the Waste Management (Importation of Wastes for Electricity and Energy Recovery) through the generation of electricity through a pyrolysis process or combustion of waste, the controlled extraction of material or the retrieval of energy from waste or any operation for energy recovery specified in the Basel Convention and the Waigani Convention in an environmentally sound manner.


34

4 Issues and Challenges

4.1 Solid Waste Management Issues and Challenges

Issues and challenges on SWM in Samoa are summarized by sub-category of SWM based on the result of the baseline survey as well as consultation in the formulation process.

4.1.1 Generation source

Littering issue along the road and river Open dumping and burning waste at back yard of household Illegal dumping in both public and private property Inappropriate discharge practice at collection point Large amount of green waste Lack of cooperation with community and business with regards to waste management Increase in waste amount

4.1.2 Collection

Inefficient monitoring system for contractors' operation Insufficient database on boundary, route and collection point for rubbish collection Frequent complaints from households and contractors.

4.1.3 Disposal

Fire accidents or improper operation at landfill Inefficient monitoring system for contractors' operation

4.1.4 SWM Finance

Increase of operational cost Shortage of operational budget Lack of resource (staff/equipment)

4.1.5 Capacity for SWM

Limited institutional and human capacity Lack of effective feedback system as output from technical training Lack of regulation on recycling Insufficient enforcement of existing act Insufficient awareness and promotion of waste issues and solutions

4.1.6 Survey and Analysis on SWM

Limited availability for SWM basic data Lack of vision for future SWM system


35

4.2 Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management Issues and Challenges

The important and urgent issues identified in the development of this strategy shown in the table below, where major weakness were identified to be the top priorities of hazardous and chemical management in Samoa, which would have to be addressed for better sound management of hazardous and chemical management in Samoa.

Table 2-10 Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management Issues and Challenges

Priorities for Hazardous and Chemical Management

Issues and Challenges Objectives

Strengthen of national governance of chemicals

Lack of integrated policy on chemical management Governance of Chemicals Lack of inter-agency coordination

Risk reduction

Improved response to chemical accidents

Lack of national systems to deal with chemical accidents Insufficient capacity for prevention, preparedness and response

Adequate local resources for chemical management

Lack of qualified staff engaged in chemical management activities

Capacity building and technical cooperation

Lack of specialized technical skills for chemical management Shortage of financial resources for chemical management.


36

Part 3 Strategy

1 Purpose

This Strategy will be the first waste-related Strategy endorsed in Samoa. This will serve as a guide in proper management of wastes to achieve the vision of “clean and healthy” Samoa by 2023. While there were a lot of initiatives implemented and challenges being addressed in the recent years, the roadmap has to be re-directed to allow for changes and emerging issues currently faced by the waste sector.

2 Formulation Process

The NWMS has been developed through the following consultation process with relevant ministries, private sectors and community.

3 Priority areas

Based on the current situation, followings were extracted as priority areas.

A Enhance environmental awareness of the public on waste related issues and the countermeasures

Due to lack of awareness of public on waste and its negative impact on environment if treated inappropriately, there are lots of issues at waste generation source. This area targets general people, community and school children as well as businesses and government agencies to raise their understanding on waste related issues and promote activities which can be conducted by them for attracting better cooperation and participation for waste management.

B Strengthen operational planning on SWM

There are needs of developing operational plan in order to secure sustainable waste management through proper provision of waste collection services and landfill operations. This area includes the conduction of activities to develop practical operational plan on waste management.

C Implement regular survey for Basic SWM data collection

Lack of basic data makes it difficult to identify and clarify current status of waste management hence; reliable data is the key information for decision making. This area includes activities to enhance availability of basic data related to waste management through the implementation of surveys.

D Study Feasibility of future SWM options

There are different options to improve waste management. Therefore, it is important to assess and identify feasibility of potential SWM options. This area includes activities to conduct feasibility studies of some potential future SWM options.

E Establish efficient monitoring system on SWM operation

Due to the nature of Samoan waste management system which adopts contract out of waste collection and landfill operation, securing proper monitoring for contractors is very important. This area includes activities to establish efficient monitoring system.

F Strengthen legal framework and enforcement

There are needs of developing new regulations as well as enforcing existing acts and regulations considering global context of waste management. This area includes activities to strengthen legal framework and enforcement for Samoa.

G Improve capacity of officials related to SWM

There are opportunities of enhancement of the capacity of officials involved in waste management. Therefore, it is important to make use of opportunities through trainings and sharing and transferring of knowledge and skills to the others effectively. This area includes activities to improve capacity of officials related to waste management.


38

H Improve Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management

There is a need to improve Chemical and Hazardous Waste management based on the gaps identified. This area targets all activities with regards to Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management.

4 Risks

The following risks should be assessed by the Steering Committee during the implementation of this Strategy:

Withdrawal of support of donors on selected activities Change in governance reducing financial commitment to waste services Failure to gain expected community and stakeholders’ commitment Natural calamities damaging waste infrastructure and interrupting delivery of waste services

5 Assumptions

Economic growth will be maintained regardless of changes to global economy. The current political system remains stable and will continue to provide commitment to the waste

sector in adherence to the sustainable development goals. The implementing agencies will remain compliant to its mandate of improving waste

management in the country; the Waste Management Sections of MNRE will continue to be a dedicated office for waste management.

Measurement of waste data will be a priority for more informed decisions and translated to management actions.

The principle of waste hierarchy will be the prevailing guide for resolving waste issues geared more towards 3R + Return with global market prices favouring recycling.

Traditional and cultural values are highly regarded in providing sustainable solutions, e.g. composting to assist in food security.

Positive results of waste management initiatives will not be negated by natural disasters. There will still be assistance from development partners during the course of the Strategy.

6 Action Plan

The specific activities to support the implementation of the strategy have been determined and presented in the action plan. The action plan will define the priorities in the next five years which should be translated into the annual work programme of the MNRE’s Waste Management Sections as well as other relevant government and NGOs such as SRWMA as well as institutions and businesses.

7 Monitoring and Evaluation

7.1 Measuring Progress

The likelihood of success in implementing the NWMS will depend on an established mechanism to regularly monitor and periodically evaluate progress of the planned activities. The monitoring and evaluation mechanism will take into account feedback on findings through a Waste Monitoring System and lessons learned to enhance performance and results.

The baseline data presented in the strategy context is very critical as reference points to establish targets for the achievement of the set goals for the duration of the plan. The monitoring framework will be developed in consultation with the constituted multi-sectoral Steering Committee using the guidance to be provided at the regional level (Regional Waste Monitoring System).

7.2 Periodic Review of the Action Plan

The following framework outlines the proposed review process of the implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan.

Figure 3-2 Process for reviewing the implementation of the Strategy

7.3 NWMS Steering Committee

7.3.1 Member of Steering Committee

CEO, ACEO and principal officers or equivalent officers of following ministries and government agency were identified as member of Steering Committee. Chairman is CEO of MNRE.

7.4 NWMS Sub Steering Committee

53

7.5 Financial Considerations

The implementation of the strategy requires substantial financial and technical resources. Funding can be sourced through national budget allocation and development partners’ assistance.

The following recommended strategies can be explored:

Establishing user-pay and polluter-pay systems to cover costs for waste service delivery, Mainstreaming waste management with other priority development areas such as climate change,

economic development (agriculture and tourism), and biodiversity conservation, among others, allowing for cross-sectoral issues to be addressed and multi-sectoral engagement enhanced,

Continuously raising the profile of waste management among politicians, decision-makers, communities and development partners to invite more funding to the sector; and

Ensuring that project outcomes and outputs are significantly achieved to encourage more investment into the waste sector from both the government and development partners.
