3 37 years, 170+ staff, learning, sharing & pushing for change in Global South Policy research & advocacy Sustainable mobility & Clean Air Sustainable habitat Sustainable industrialisation Documenting to build knowledge Knowledge portal Climate change Resource Centre Disseminating knowledge Down To Earth Gobar Times CSE Websites Books Training & education Green School Programme Media Resource Centre Anil Agarwal Green College Sustainable urban & rural water management Climate change Renewable energy Food safety & toxins Films Regulators training South-South Learning, training and capacity building

4 Our purpose as a top-rated environmental think-tank To understand the emerging issues of environmental management To understand what efforts are being made by government, businesses and people and what can be done further To identify possible areas of work and collaboration Our common objective: Securing a clean and healthy environment as countries grows economically

5 CSE s association with Zanzibar Experience Sharing Workshop on Compliance Monitoring & Enforcement was held for African Nations Nairobi, Kenya (14-16 th March 2016) Scoping visit to Zanzibar to understand existing waste management regimes (22-27 August, 2017) A stakeholder consultation workshop was held to discuss the major findings of the scoping report (29 August, 2017)

6 Experience Sharing Workshop on Compliance and Enforcement, 14-16th March 2016, Nairobi, Kenya

7 Stakeholder consultation workshop in Zanzibar 29 August 2016

8 MoU signing between CSE and ZEMA 27 January, 2017

9 Broad areas that CSE-ZEMA shall work on Framing of National Strategy on Waste Management in association with other stakeholders Training and capacity building of regulatory officials on various aspects- waste management. Pilot on decentralised waste management

10 Meeting to discuss framework for decentralised waste management in Zanzibar, 27 th January, 2017

11 Meeting on adoption of decentralised pilot in Zanzibar, 6 July 2017

12 Meeting to finalise Integrated Policy on Waste Management, 6-7 September, 2017

13 Waste Segregation for Clean Zanzibar programme launched in Shaurimoyo, Zanzibar on 6 September, 2017 for better solid waste management in Shaurimoyo With a tripartite partnership between Zanzibar Environmental Management Authority (ZEMA), Zanzibar Urban Municipal Council (ZUMC) and Centre for Science & Environment (CSE)

14 Brief profile of Shaurimoyo, Zanzibar Population of Shaurimoyo: 5800, 626 HH Population of 200 HHs: Why small sample size? To check the feasibility of the project and device suitable methodologies for its replication in other areas of Zanzibar

15 Objective Create a pilot for 200 HHs to demonstrate decentralised waste management model Achieve 100 percent source segregation Compost wet waste Channelize dry waste to recyclers Incentivise Waste Collector Create market linkages for compost and make it a business model to benefit informal sector/municipality This pilot could be replicated across Zanzibar, including commercial areas and hotels Make Zanzibar a ZERO LANDFILL ISLAND, if achieves, becomes the only in East Africa

16 Why decentralised? - Tourism is instrumental to Zanzibar s economy - Need better waste management - If littering continues, no one will be interested to visit Zanzibar - Want it to be the cleanest island across Africa - Decentralised solution is the future- segregate at source, treat at source, do not waste vast lands for dumpsites

17 Benefits of decentralised waste management Reduced dependence on land for disposal of waste. The space required for the landfills is reduced by 90 per cent. Reduced cost of collection and transportation. Additional resources will be generated from composting and recycling, as more than 90 per cent of waste can be recycled and reused. Environmental costs incurred due to pollution of land, water and air from unsanitary landfills will be reduced drastically.

18 Role and responsibility ZEMA/ DoE Plays an important role in ensuring the project attains completion Reviews progress from time to time Removes major roadblocks Push for replication of pilot Centre for Science and Environment Coordinator and facilitator Provision of technical support Capacity building Propagation support Initial infrastructural support Zanzibar Urban Municipal Council (ZUMC) Implementation partner Propagation on the ground Linkages for marketing Implementor Collection &Transport Infrastructure (MRF, processing facility) and manpower support

19 What have we achieved so far?

20 Timeline of pilot August Scoping July Sensitization programme for Shaurimoyo workers July Mapping of 200 HHs September 2017 Launch of pilot (Implementation) February 2018 Monitoring

21 Sensitization programme for Shaurimoyo workers, July 2017

22 Door to door propagation in 200 households Shaurimoyo has about population

23 Door to door Propagation, in 200 Households (HHs) wards (about population) Door to door propagation by CSE & ZUMC staff explaining to residents the importance of segregation in July 2017

24 IEC material for propagation

25 Public event during the launch of decentralised pilot project in Shaurimoyo, 6 th September, 2017

26 Launch of decentralised pilot on waste management in Shaurimoyo

27 Distribution of one bin and two bags to 200 HHs

28 Process of Waste Management in Shaurimoyo area Segregation of waste Wet, Dry and Domestic hazardous waste Wet waste goes to composting pit Segregated dry waste is stored plastic PET, glass, paper - further sent to dealer/ recycler Domestic hazardous waste (sanitary napkins, diapers) goes to municipal bins

29 Over 90% households are giving segregated waste

30 WET WASTE MANAGEMENT Segregated wet waste collected by the Shaurimoyo waste management society collector

31 Segregated wet waste

32 Segregation of wet waste by the HHs Great progress as even in countries where segregation is happening, such a high percentage is not witnessed

33 45-60 kg of wet waste goes to composting site everyday

34 800 kg of compost has been sold so far by local Tsh/kg

35 3 months after the pilot launch unsieved compost

36 Sieved compost

37 Compost sale in exhibition, Ministry of Industry, Commercial and Marketing, January 2018 Compost brand name: Shaurimoyo ward development society (SHAWADESCO) 1000 Tanzanian shillings (Tsh) for 1kg packet.

38 Sale of first compost product

39 Compost product 330 Tsh (0.44 USD) per packet sold

40 DRY WASTE MANAGEMENT

41 DRY WASTE COLLECTED TILL DATE FROM HOUSEHOLDS kg of dry waste gets collect per month (3040 kg approx. for 8 months, sold to local dealers who channelises it to Dar)

42 Revenue from dry waste to waste collectors Plastic sold to franchise 150 Tsh /kg Glass sold to franchise 200 Tsh /kg Revenue from plastic per week =150*28 = 4200 Tsh Revenue from glass per week = 200*2 = 400 Tsh Monthly revenue for waste collector from sale of dry waste = ( )*4 = Tsh

43 Cleanliness drive (dumpsite converted to a beautiful processing site and learning centre)

44 Plantation drive: 31 st January, 2018

45 Mesh Fencing, 3 rd February, 2018

46 Transformation after a month 6 th March, 2018 vegetables produced was sold for about Tsh

47 Wall painting in Shaurimoyo to spread awareness on segregation

48 Stakeholders meeting to discuss replication of Shaurimoyo decentralised waste management pilot, 9 th March 2018

49 Officials from different municipal councils in the stakeholders meeting, 9 th March 2018

50 Site visit at Shaurimoyo pilot area, 9 th March 2018

51 Shredding and sieving machine for compost at Shaurimoyo

52 Replication of pilot in Mpendae, April 2018 Site made of PET bottles and cement, funded by ZUSP

53 WHAT NEXT?

54 We are clear, that decentralised waste management is the most sustainable option, waste is resource, needs to be looked like that We have one successful pilot, another site at Mpendae, this needs to be replicated across the island This is also economically viable, municipal councils can achieve breakeven in 1 year through such an intervention Develop policy/legislation based on the principles of waste minimisation, segregation and processing, this would further cement this work
