Resource Mobilization for the effective implementation of the regional E-waste management Strategy Federico Magalini Managing Director Sofies UK
EACO e-waste strategy (adopted in Kampala, July 2017) Budget allocated to individual outcomes (approx. 1,7M$) Zero negative impact of e-Waste in EACO member states by 2030 Impact Harmonized & aligned legal, policy and regulatory framework for e-waste in EACO member states A rationalized, well distributed and developed e-waste management infrastructure A comprehensive resource mobilization mechanism implemented Detailed breakdown of activities available Outcomes Strengthened capacity for coordination of e-waste management at EACO An established Research, Monitoring & Enforcement System, Innovation as well as developed capacity for e- waste management in EACO member states EACO Looking for PPP options Regional e-waste policies, guidelines and standards developed for EACO member states. Regional e-waste policy, guideline and standard adopted at national level E-waste management infrastructure requirements mapping E-waste management infrastructure roll out plan development Regional E-waste resource mobilization strategy developed and implemented EACO strategy & local developments (policy) to be linked Outputs EACO e-waste fund is established to collect EPR fees, ARF individual, corporate and donor contributions E-waste management is mainstreamed in educational curriculum at various levels especially in technical school E-waste regional steering committee operations and functions supported for effective coordination of the implementation of the regional e-waste strategic plan 14 May 2018 EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 2
Why do WEEE need policies and financing? For great majority of e-waste products, financial compensation is needed for proper treatment (let alone collection & access to waste) Market dynamics alone cannot ensure sound-treatment of e-waste (cherry picking and rudimental recycling pose serious risks) Business Perspective Not all the products are equal in terms of: Intrinsic economic value Hazardous content and risks at End-of-Life Environmental (societal) Perspective 14 May 2018 EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 3
Why do we need funding? The strategy laid down an ambitious and coherent plan to address the current gaps in the region: Development, adoption and ENFORCEMENT of policies for e-waste management Mapping infrastructure (& development of plan to ensure their deployment) Ensure capacity is developed, locally Funds are currently lacking and sources need to be identified, under two scenarios: 1. Institutional donors / projects (Money to EACO) 2. Alignment with ongoing projects / funding opportunities already committed by donors (Money supporting activities in the EACO strategy) 14 May 2018 EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 4
Budget allocation 350,000 $ 205,000 $ Institutional coordination and alignment Infrastructure for E-waste Management 615,000 $ 350,000 $ 160,000 $ Research, Monitoring and Evaluation and Capacity building Resource mobilization Policy, Legal and regulatory frameworks 14 May 2018 EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 5

How can resources been mobilized Currently the following agencies/organizations has been approached (shared EACO Strategy & Plan): UNEP, UNIDO, ITU, WHO, IFC, US AID, US EPA, DFID (UK), CDC (UK), GIZ (DE) Institutional funding could be investigated (f.i. Europe Aid, Switch Africa, ), but projects need to be developed to be linked with general workplan Proposal are always stronger when: National government are involved/supporting Co-financing from government or private sector are available (needed for some funding agencies like GEF, EU, etc..) 14 May 2018 EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 7
Who are we? 35 Employees 500+ Projects 100 External technical and field experts 5 Offices: 40 Countries Bangalore | Geneva | London Paris | Zurich 14 May 2018 EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 9
Our Domains of Intervention Smart territories Making territories more sustainable through systemic and integrated approaches Secondary resource and urban mining Turning wastes into resources Sustainable industrial zones Making industrial areas more sustainable and attractive through industrial symbiosis Alternative Energy Systems Developing alternative to fossil fuels with climate positive and renewable energies Sustainable production and processing Ensuring competitive and long term business based on an optimal use of resources and energy 14 May 2018 Managing Sustainability Driving sustainability: Innovate, manage, monitor, asses and report EACO E-waste workshop - Kigali 10
