Brief Project Description Electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing waste stream in the world, with an estimated 20-50 million tons being generated annually. As developing countries are joining the global information society, the quantity of electronic hardware is growing even more rapidly. Electric and electronic equipment, new or second-hand, will eventually become obsolete and requires responsible reuse and recycling solutions. Most developing countries lack the infrastructure, know-how and regulatory frameworks for sound reuse and recycling of hazardous waste. With adequate technology, training and regulatory frameworks and support, e-waste

Annex A


recycling can positively contribute to the conservation of natural resources, energy savings, a reduction of emissions including greenhouse gases and the development of green technologies. In addition, e-waste recycling offers the potential for job creation.1 Based on domestic and global experiences, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has taken action step by step to improve existing waste management practices through policy and strategy development, capacity building, legal instruments and awareness raising, all of which include are part of the 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) principles. However, waste management in Cambodia is commonly confronted with major constraints in administrative and technical aspects. Accordingly, Cambodia firmly requires a specific policy of the 3Rs and waste management to be linked with existing environmental regulations in order to minimize and eliminate any harmful impacts on human health and the environment. This is a key tool towards poverty alleviation—the priority policy of the RGC. The electric and electronic equipments waste (E- waste) are part that revealed high risk which e-waste poses to the environment and human health. The main development goal/impact is that the electronic industry in Cambodia is supportive and effective in promoting economic and environmental sustainability. There are two immediate objectives/outcomes of the project which are inter- related:

1) Strengthened capacities of youth sector to support the increase in employment and business opportunities in the electronic industry

2) E waste management skills, knowledge and practices are improved

The project contributes to the achievement of the 1) the National Youth policy1 in which its main strategies include but not limited to the promotion of education, training, capacity development, and development of entrepreneurial thinking and labor market; 2) 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) National Strategy & National Green Growth Road map of Cambodia. This will likewise have an impact on the Millennium Development Goals, specifically on MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; MDG 7: Ensure environmentally sustainability and MDG 8: A global partnership for development.

PART A. CONTEXT A.1. Background of the Project Cambodia’s economy has grown remarkably in recent years and increasing in urbanization has led to change in life style’s preference of the people in rising demand in utilization of electronic products such as TVs sets; air-conditioner; refrigerator; computer; mobile phone; and washing machine. According to findings from a study on electronic equipments usages by Ministry of Environment of Cambodia in 2007, the findings revealed that the electronic equipments both brand new and used products have been imported into the country at the increasing rate. Statistically, from 2000 to 2006, imported TVs have reached 903,334 sets (Color 271291 sets, and black-white 632,043 sets); air-con 193,391 sets; refrigerator 91,935 sets; Computer 14010 sets; Mobile Phone 343,033; and washing machine 30,941 sets. Commonly, brand new EEEs are imported from various countries in the region such as Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, and Malaysia, and a few western countries. But second hand EEEs were mostly imported from few countries like Japan and South Korea. Although these electronic products can be considered either as necessity or luxury, most products create negative consequences to the environment as well as to human’s health when these units become obsolete and eventually can be hazardous. Statistics and relevant study reveals that wastes normally are generated from TV sector equivalent to the great amounts of 40,983.00 kg, while air-con’s wastes have 13,318.80 kg, MP’s wastes 2,016.24 kg, and PC’s wastes 1,310.40 kg. Currently, most of people involved in repairing the electronic equipments have low technological capacity and perform the service with inappropriate facilities and way and these operations were considered to be a threat to the environment and general public’s health. It observed that people working in this sector generally have limited knowledge and understanding of environmental protection. Likewise, there is generally limited institutional capacity for e-waste management at the national and regional/local levels in the country. There is no standard or generally accepted definition of e-waste in the world. In most cases, e-waste comprises of the relatively expensive and essentially durable products used for data processing, telecommunications or entertainment in private households and businesses. The Basel Action Network define it as “E-waste includes a wide and developing range of electronic appliances ranging from large household appliances, such as refrigerators, air-conditioners, cell phones, stereo systems and consumable electronic items to computers discarded by their users”.

E-waste is not hazardous if it is stocked in safe storage or recycled by scientific methods or transported from one place to the other in parts or in totality in the formal sector. The e-waste can, however, be considered hazardous if recycled by primitive methods. E-waste contains several substances such as heavy metals, plastics, glass etc., which can be potentially toxic and hazardous to the environment and human health, if not handled in an environmentally sound manner. E-waste recycling in the non-formal sector by primitive methods can damage the environment. The main environmental impact of e-waste arise due to inappropriate processing, rather than inherent toxic contents although drawing boundaries between secondary goods intended for reuse and waste materials may be challenging. Presently the informal processing of e-waste in Cambodia is not under any environmental monitoring and as a result, the crude methods used to reclaim materials from e-waste are a potential for many kinds of pollutants being generated creating serious ecological, environmental and health problems. E-waste contains toxic substances such as


lead, cadmium, mercury, and brominates and flame retardants. Therefore, when used electronic and electrical equipment is processed, it has to be ensured that environmentally sound solutions for both the treatment and the final disposal are in place to protect the environment as well as the health of the people concerned. Part of the pressing major issues is that there is no accurate estimate on how much e-wastes are generated in the country, it is difficult to assess the scope of environmental impacts and health hazards they could cause. As such, appropriate and effective economic instruments are difficult to identify as well as implement.

One of the immediate objectives of this project significantly focuses on strengthening the capacities of the youth sector through skills trainings relevant to provision of repair services in the electronics industry; trainings on starting/sustaining an e- waste/ green business, and skills transfer through ICT literacy or curriculum development. Despite recent rapid economic growth in Cambodia, young people specifically in the rural areas face increasing competition for employment and for other economic opportunities, creating greater and continued pressure on public services and resources. Generally, Cambodia’s youth was defined to be those in the 15-24 year old age group and comprising of 26% the total population. An estimated 300,000 young people leave school every year to search for livelihood/employment opportunities. According to the situation analysis of youth in Cambodia in 2009, it shows that 7% of young people aged 15-24 are unemployed reaching 20% in Phnom Penh. This young workforce has the lowest levels of education in the region. Youth employment skills and levels of education are not always adequate for the emerging small and medium enterprises. SMEs make up 99% of all enterprises in Cambodia. However, young men and women often leave school ill equipped and lacking in marketing, computer literacy, negotiation, microfinance, and network skills for private enterprises.

Given the above mentioned challenges, the proposed key counterparts namely Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training and Ministry of Environment requested UNIDO’s assistance in the achieving the 2 immediate objectives/outcomes: 1) Strengthened capacities of youth sector to support the increase in employment and business opportunities in the electronic industry & 2) E waste management skills, knowledge and practices are improved The training programmes will not only equip youth with knowledge and skills for job market in electronic industry in Cambodia but it will also help to prepare them to be more effective labor forces working with international companies like within Asia e.g Korean companies both in Cambodia and in Korea. According to the statistics from the Ministry of Labor and Vocational training, there is an increasing outflow of Cambodian workers to work in Korea. The project supports the 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) National Strategy of the Government of Cambodia and will complement other e-waste initiatives in the country supported by international agencies/organizations. Significant efforts have been undertaken in waste management in Cambodia, however there are future challenges that should be addressed, not only by the government but require participation of private sector, NGOs and the general population. A.2 Problems to be addressed – Actions to be taken Based on the background of the project and on a pilot basis, key problems that will be addressed are summarized below:


� Limited employment opportunities specifically for the youth sector � Limited knowledge and skills to support the demand for repair services,

refurbishing/recycling business in the electronic industry � Need to strengthen/establish small businesses in the area of electronic industry � Electronic industry: Low technological capacity to perform the appropriate repair service

with proper facilities that would minimize threat to the environment and general public’s health

� E-waste: no accurate estimate on how much e-wastes are generated in the country, it is difficult to assess the scope of environmental impacts and health hazards they could cause. As such, appropriate and effective economic instruments are difficult to identify as well as implement.

� Lack of comprehensive data on selected/ priority e-products, e-waste management

initiatives including economic analysis of its impact, challenges in pilot areas, e waste

generation, tools available

� Limited knowledge and skills in formulating, applying appropriate local policies, legislations

and strategies to promote effective e-waste management

� Lack of joint research activities on health impacts, environmental impacts, cost and benefits

in recycling

� Lack of established network among public-private on effective e waste management

� Limited availability of low cost technologies and environmentally sound demonstrated and

applied (e-waste management) through technical exchanges

A.3 Target beneficiary groups The target beneficiaries can be divided into two groups as follow: Direct Beneficiaries: The Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training &

other relevant line ministries, departments including Provincial and local governments, local

training institutions and vocational institutes as part of the strengthening the institutional and

organizational structures and also policy level interventions. Cooperating partners including NGOs,

private sector business associations for the capacity building activities in the electronic industry.

Ultimate Beneficiaries: The youth sector in target project areas (local level), small enterprises, local entrepreneurs, informal sectors and local communities in general for both economic and environment related outcomes of the project. More precisely, it is expected that both direct and ultimate beneficiaries will be distributed across in each outcome as follows:

Outcome 1- Strengthened capacities of youth sector to support the increase in employment and business opportunities in the electronic industry: Min of Labour and Vocational Training, local institutions, Vocational training institutes, business associations, Provincial and Local governments; youth sector, local enterprises Outcome 2- E waste management skills, knowledge and practices are improved: Min of Environment, local institutions, business associations, NGOs, private sector


A.4. Institutional Framework – Country Partners The project will be implemented by UNIDO Regional Field Office- Thailand, UNIDO Desk in Cambodia, in close collaboration with relevant technical branches (BIT and EMB) at the UNIDO Headquarter, Vienna. The planning, implementation and monitoring of the project will be in close cooperation with the Ministry of Labor, and Vocational Training and Ministry of Environment and other relevant entities, supported by local technical agencies, training institutes in addressing economic and environment issues. It is proposed that private sector agencies, local institutions be involved, which support local enterprises for local economic development as well as addressing environmental protection related issues in the country. A.5. UNIDO’s Technical Assistance (UNIDO services related to this project at the Global,

Regional, Country levels)

UNIDO’s Entrepreneurship & Skills development, Partnership, CSR Programmes

Individual entrepreneurs are a driving force for competitive SMEs as a growth base. However, the policy and institutional framework needs to be conducive to entrepreneurial initiatives. Human capabilities and the right institutional framework are necessary conditions for entrepreneurship to flourish, particularly in rural areas. Therefore, the essential elements in this Programme are to create a business environment that encourages the initiatives of rural, young and women entrepreneurs and to enhance the human and institutional capacities required to foster entrepreneurial dynamism and enhance productivity. The UNIDO Business Partnership Programme draws on the expertise, know-how and resources of major business players, utilizing their experience to enable SMEs to become competitive players. UNIDO based its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Approach, which has proven to be a successful tool for SMEs in the developing countries to assist them in meeting social and environmental standards without compromising their competitiveness. The TBL approach is used as a framework for measuring and reporting corporate performance against economic, social and environmental performance. It is an attempt to align private enterprises to the goal of sustainable global development by providing them with a more comprehensive set of working objectives than just profit alone. The perspective taken is that for an organization to be sustainable, it must be financially secure, minimize (or ideally eliminate) its negative environmental impacts and act in conformity with societal expectations. From Concept to Action: UNIDO’s Green Industry Initiative

Rapid economic growth in much of the developing world has lifted millions of people out of poverty. But it has also led to increase in the consumption of energy, water and other raw materials. This is contributing to natural resources depletion, environmental degradation and greater greenhouse gases emissions. UNIDO’s Green Industry Initiative promotes industrial development that is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable. UNIDO’s network of National Cleaner Production Centers (NCPC)


The UNIDO Cleaner Production (CP) programme and network aims at building national CP capacities, fostering dialogue between industry and government and enhancing investments for transfer and development of environmentally sound technologies. There are currently 42 countries on five continents with NCPCs. UNIDO ICT Program

The UNIDO ICT Program was established to build and strengthen local capacity through the use of ICT applications. It aims to make the productive use of ICT by small and medium enterprises in the developing world a reality. As the program intends to support developing countries by managing the whole life cycle of EEE, one of the core issues of the ICT programme includes the treatment of e-waste.

In Cambodia, UNIDO provides assistance in key areas of Environmental management, Energy and Trade Capacity building. Its projects focused on cleaner industrial production, rural energy for productive use, and the reduction of green house gas emissions through improved energy efficiency. Furthermore, the assistance includes facilitation of national counterparts to participate in global and regional forum on poverty reduction, trade capacity building, energy and environmental management.

At a later stage of the implementation, the project specifically the environment related component will determine the link to UNIDO’s other ongoing/upcoming projects in the country ie. NCPC, BEST/BEP , POPs- Regional Projects funded by Global Environment Facility (GEF).

UNIDO works with the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, Ministry of Commerce as well as the Ministry of Environment to implement its programmes. Within the UN system, UNIDO coordinates closely with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP), and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) within the relevant thematic areas of UNIDO.

PART B. REASONS FOR UNIDO ASSISTANCE B.1. Project Rationale/Justification The Royal Government of Cambodia holds a long term vision of reducing poverty through the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) and addressing climate change issues through the implementation of the National Green Growth Road Map. The NSDP emphasized on the need to create employment. It also reflects government long term goals to enhance the living standards of the population and ultimately alleviating poverty and accelerate economic growth. NSDP recognized that unemployment rate among youth is of serious concern. Of every 100 job seekers in Phnom Penh, 72 are 15-24 old and at least over 200,000 job seekers enter labor market each year. Hence, the government has daunting tasks to attract more private investments in both urban and rural areas in order to create more jobs. Furthermore, it has to ensure that the skills of the new entrants match with the requirements of the new jobs is a challenge that will require more focussed efforts to expand technical education and vocational in both urban and rural areas as well as developing labour market information systems. The National Green Growth Road map outlines the need to reduce, minimize environmental impacts, improve environmental management and promote more responsive localities as well as industries, businesses i.e e-waste management that would result in cleaner environment in the long term. This pilot project lends itself towards supporting the Government’s vision on economic and environmental areas as well as addressing some social issues through capacity building of institutions, target beneficiaries; establishing network, conduct of joint research, comprehensive data collection; conduct of technical exchanges, etc. B.2. Project Goal Formulation and Strategic Approach The formulation of the framework, design of this project supports the National Strategic Development Plan Update (NSDP 2009- 2013). This plan is an implementation tool to realize the Rectangular strategy Phase II of the Royal Government of Cambodia (2008-2013). The project will explore and create synergies and complementary efforts with the work of other international agencies like ADB, ILO and UNESCO in the implementation of vocational training activities and job creation. Local project team under the guidance of the Head of UNIDO operations (HUO) would be a member of any coordination group that the three agencies might create in order to have a better coordination of its assistance. For the environmental protection aspect of the project, it will contribute mainly to the government's efforts in realizing the national green growth road map. For synergies and complementary efforts, UNIDO will build on past and ongoing initiatives of UNEP related to e waste management and other international organizations. Specifically, UNEP supported the project on “Waste Electronic and Electric Equipment/ E-waste Management for Phnom Penh City” in early 2009. Likewise, the Basel Convention Secretariat has supported the “Environmentally Sound Management of E waste in Cambodia”. This proposed UNIDO project will look into these other initiatives and will ensure link of activities to demonstrate good impact of the project, in the long term.


Experiences, knowledge and information from this project will be used for possible further project development and replication efforts. PART C. THE PROJECT

C.1. Development Objective: The electronic industry in Cambodia is supportive and effective in promoting economic and environmental sustainability C.2. Immediate Objectives/outcomes


2) E waste management skills, knowledge and practices are improved C.3. The RMB Code and Thematic Area Code EC1 Poverty reduction through productive capacities EC12 Business, Investment and Technology Services EC25 Corporate Social Responsibility EC3 Environment & Energy EC32 Resource efficient and low carbon industrial production C.4. The UNIDO Approach UNIDO has an excellent track record in addressing the development of human resources as an entrepreneurial foundation for bottom-up growth and private sector development. A market-led economy lives on a reservoir of entrepreneurs who identify opportunities as they emerge and are able to exploit them, profitably. Hence entrepreneurs need to have the knowledge, skills and competences necessary to capitalize and manage these opportunities.

To achieve the overall development goal/impact: the electronic industry in Cambodia is supportive and effective in promoting economic and environmental sustainability, the project will provide interventions at different phases & levels of the Project: Inception Phase: During the inception phase, some major activities will be undertaken:

• Kick Off: to strengthen common understanding and overall commitment of project partners, clarifications of the concept, tasks, and awareness through Launching Conference

• Planning & Validation workshops: to fine tune workplan, identify key milestones, agree on indicators, monitoring mechanisms, prioritization and validation of priority products, areas

• Setting up the Project Management Unit, Project Steering Committee

• Comprehensive assessments Implementation Phase: Institutional level capacity building interventions:


The project will address a number of issues related to institutional building of public and private sectors to achieve the 2 expected outcomes: the government counterparts, collaborating partners who will facilitate the support to the final/ultimate target beneficiaries, both in the medium to long term perspectives. Part of the capacity building strategies would be training of national experts; TOT (Train the Trainers); technical exposures; “learning by doing” methodology; facilitating entrepreneurship development, business planning & management trainings; formulation of local strategies; review or formulation of policies; policy advocacy; data collection and analysis, establishment of Technology Access Centres that are necessary as social enteprises to promote the new skills for the target ultimate beneficiaries; demonstration & application of environmentally sound technologies, etc. To ensure sustainability not only within the structures of the Government, other partners like business associations, academic local institutions, as well as NGOs will benefit from the project’s interventions and ensure continuity of the activities. Local capacity building, skills training related interventions:

UNIDO’s approach will include the promotion of Public-Private partnerships (PPP) through close collaboration in strengthening capacities of the youth sector to support the increase in employment and business opportunities in the electronic industry as well in the effective promotion of e- waste management in the country. Likewise, within the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework, private sector will be involved in the implementation to support the project both in the economic and environmental aspects of the project. Key CSR issues that can be addressed in this project that UNIDO has implemented in the past: environmental management, stakeholder engagement and generally, poverty reduction related issues. It is also envisaged that other forms of partnerships, ie. Private sector from the donor country and/or other international partners are expected to take part in this initiative and are expected to contribute expertise, introduce appropriate technologies, facilitate technical exposures or provide investments in the country to support the Green Growth Agenda of the country. The project can maximize private sector participation in community building or corporate social responsibility (CSR) through economic empowerment of the “base of the pyramid” (BOP) e.g Project corporate sponsor and partner like big companies in the electronic industry like Samsung, etc. Private sector can offer the targeted youth beneficiaries some capacity building trainings in electronic assembly, repair and waste management services, curriculum development so these youth have greater chances of passing accreditation procedures or get employed in Customer care or repair service centers. These take part of the business development aspects of the project: the target ultimate beneficiaries can be self employed in repair, recycling services or they operate as entrepreneurs on e waste and e-business related businesses; or with improved capacity they can be gainfully employed directly by the private sector as skilled workers. The project will support the development of skills & knowledge among young people as final/ultimate beneficiaries through iterative local capacity building activities, skills trainings, & technical exposures.

a. Economic effects

Major economic effects expected from the project (including long term perspective) would be an increase in employment and business opportunities in the electronic industry (services and related businesses) and consequently increase in individual household income. For the overall country perspective, government would benefit from higher local government revenues collected ie. generated by the new small businesses and result in an improvement


of the country’s infrastructure including better services to general public and business sector. Furthermore, it contributes to building a pool of qualified skills labor to prepare for local and overseas markets.

Establishing environmental projects that may bring about revenues is also an effective way to get the participation of the community since it will increase employment in their own localities. The government, on the other hand to support the e-waste business can create market for the recyclable products that are made out of the recyclable materials. (addressing green growth and green economy).

b. Technical effects

Technological developments result in rapid obsolescence of electronic products. That is, like computers and televisions are almost immediately replaced as new lines of products are introduced into the market. Cambodia’s increasing urbanization that leads to increase in demands for electronic products is equally linked to both economic and environmental issues. Addressing e-waste management issues would lead to application of new, appropriate technical tools, instruments and will boost technical capacities of the target beneficiaries on e-waste management. Likewise, increase in technical capacities of local stakeholders in operating, managing e-wastes businesses.

c. Environmental effects (long term perspective):

� Reduced/minimized environmental impacts through effective e-waste management � Improved environmental management (e-waste management) � More responsive localities and industries/ businesses on e-waste management

resulting to cleaner environment in the long term The pilot project location areas proposed: Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap, Kampong Cham Province (local levels) and capital: Phnom Penh, Cambodia were selected based on the profile of the provinces where there are high unemployment rate for the youth sector as well as increased rate of e- waste being generated in these provinces. These proposed areas will be revalidated through a participatory process during the inception phase: in close consultation with counterparts and stakeholders during the inception phase of the project. UNIDO’s related programmes in other Region: UNIDO has implemented similar and related programme in Uganda in 2008: ICT programme which aims to foster the development of an environmentally sound e-waste recycling industry, and this is with support of the National Cleaner Production Centre. The ultimate goal is to provide SMEs with access to affordable quality hardware in Africa and to build a green recycling industry. Likewise, an assessment in Tanzania on e-waste was conducted as well which aimed at getting a reliable overview of the e-waste landscape in Tanzania, through a baseline study (a rapid e-waste assessment). The focus was on computers and IT equipment including PCs, printers, TVs and mobile phones. There is an opportunity for exchange of information, lessons learned and experiences with the Uganda programme and the Assessment done in Tanzania in 2011 on E- waste initiative within the timeline of the project. The results of the Cambodia project can be shared to other countries and Regions including those in African countries.

C.6. Risks & Assumptions The delivery of the outputs planned could be affected by the absorption capacity of the local counterparts and workload of counterpart agencies. Likewise, the availability of resources and the required measures specifically in supporting the infrastructures required for long term sustainability of the project. Key assumptions as outlined in the logical framework of the project:

� Electronics industry is one of major sources of employment and income, and is sustained for and by target beneficiaries, specifically in the project target areas

� Low percentage of employed youth sector in target areas of interventions � Cambodia needs further technical assistance in promoting, implementing effective e waste

management (thus addressing Climate Change issues) � Continued support and buy in from the counterparts and stakeholders including private

sector participation is ensured for effective implementation PART D: INPUTS D.1. Counterpart Inputs The Counterparts of the project, namely the Ministry of Labor & Vocational Training/ Min of Environment will provide office space for the Project Management Unit (PMU) and will cover the costs of electricity and water supply. The PMU will consist of a National Project Coordinator (NPC) and support staff to provide administrative and logistical support to the PMU. They are to be recruited through competitive process by UNIDO. It is responsible for overall execution, coordination and facilitation of the project and to establish communication channels between the stakeholders. In addition, they will provide relevant administrative support for the project implementation, such as official letters as needed, and facilitate the interaction with other Government Agencies. Likewise, the project requires identification and establishment of certain physical project facilities that would ensure sustainability of the project like pilot dismantling facilities, technology access centres for effective implementation of activities in the long term. The counterpart ministries will be responsible for providing necessary lead and coordination to ensure timely delivery of project inputs and their conversion into project outputs and outcomes. As counterparts, they will ensure timeliness and effectiveness of inputs made from their end, accounting and reporting of funds provided and data collection for monitoring and implementation progress. To support the smooth coordination between counterparts and UNIDO, designated Focal Points (FP) from each line ministry is necessary. (detailed roles of counterparts in Part D2.4 of

this document) D.2. UNIDO Inputs The project will transfer information, knowledge, management, technical and entrepreneurial skills and other related competencies to both private and public sectors.


The Regional Office in Thailand in close collaboration with the 2 technical branches (BIT, EMB) at the UNIDO Headquarters and Head of UNIDO Operations in Cambodia will facilitate and oversee operations, quality oriented technical support to local counterparts. The Business, Investments and Technology Branch of UNIDO at the Headquarters with a mandate to enhance the contribution of the private sector as an engine of growth for sustainable development and poverty reduction is the lead technical branch. Through its Competiveness, Upgrading and Partnership Unit, the branch will be consulted and will be requested to provide quality oriented technical inputs specifically for the economic component of the project: job creation in the electronic industry (e- business, CSR, Partnerships related, etc). The Environmental Management Branch through its Cleaner and Sustainable Production Unit will be consulted and will be requested to provide quality oriented technical inputs specifically for the environment related component: promoting effective e-waste management. UNIDO will promote participatory processes, stakeholder participation, sense of ownership and ensure results oriented approach in the overall implementation of the project. D2.1 International Experts International expertise is foreseen for both economic and environmental related components specifically in the implementation of capacity building and trainings (including the conduct of participatory comprehensive assessments, baseline studies) at several levels, to be recruited on a short-term basis in line with project requirements. D2.2 Trainings Trainings will be in the form of technical workshops, exchanges, study tours, demonstrations, learning by doing methodology, training of pool of experts, as facilitated by national/international technical experts. This will address institutional, local capacity building and policy support as described in the UNIDO approach and outline of activities, outputs. D2.3 Study Tours and Exchanges During the course of implementation, conduct of technical exchanges and study tours are envisaged as part of the capacity building strategies wherein both public and private sectors will be involved. D2.4 Equipment and Supplies For training activities, capacity building of project counterparts, demonstration and application purposes, requirements for tools and equipment are foreseen.
