Overview : This objective of this consultancy is to elaborate a project concept note on solid waste management for the City of Kigali for submission to national authorities, UNDP and Green Climate Fund (GCF). As waste management is one of the priority areas for the government, as mentioned in diverse strategic documents, e.g. Five Year Strategic Plan for the Environment & Natural Resources Sector, Nationally Determined Contribution, Green Growth & Climate Resilient Strategy, District Single Action Plans, etc. Waste management was also prioritized in the latest Rwanda Government Retreat (March 2017) and features in the performance contracts (“Imihigo”) of diverse Agencies, including the City of Kigali. Given the priorities accorded, the urgency of better managing waste in a fast-growing and increasingly affluent and modern city, including the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the need for associated capacity and funding, a consultant is sought to elaborate a concept for a project on Solid Waste Management (with the main element the construction of a sanitary landfill) for Kigali City.
