Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Consultant to Conduct a CBE Waste Management Workshop for Cities Alliance Liberia Country Programme (CALCP).
1. Introduction
The Cities Alliance (CA) is the preeminent global partnership for the promotion of cities in poverty reduction and sustainable development. Headquartered in Brussels, it is a unique partnership with diverse members – local authorities, national governments, international non-governmental organisations, foundations and multi-lateral organisations – which have come together to strengthen both impacts and coherence in urban development. The CA’s overall objectives are to support cities in providing effective local government, an active citizenship and a growing economy characterised by both public and private investment. CA is an independent organization hosted by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), governed by a Management Board and Assembly of members. More specifically, CA is implementing a number of donor funded programmes through its CA Liberia Country Programme (CALCP)
In Liberia, waste collection and waste management services fall within the mandate of cities. The City of Monrovia and the City of Paynesville fall within the Electoral District referred to as Greater Monrovia. Municipal solid waste collected in Greater Monrovia is currently transferred to the Whein Town landfill, located in Paynesville. This is Liberia’s only sanitary landfill and was constructed in 2011 under the World Bank’s Emergency Monrovia Urban Sanitation (EMUS) project. The EMUS project was financed by the Liberia Reconstruction Trust Fund (LRTF), with majority funding from the European Union (EU) and made significant progress in establishing an effective waste collection and disposal system for Monrovia. The EMUS project ended on 30th December 2016. Cities in Greater Monrovia area are at different stages in what regards their waste collection and waste management systems.
Whein Town Landfill has an estimated remaining lifespan of about 2 years. As such, there is a critical need to develop a new sanitary landfill for Greater Monrovia. On 26th June 2017 the Government of Liberia (GoL) secured further financing from the LRTF through the World Bank for the implementation of the Cheesemanburg Landfill Urban Sanitation (CLUS) project. The overall CLUS project development objective is to increase access to solid waste management in Greater Monrovia,
in what concerns Secondary Waste Collection. In parallel, CALCP is implementing a EU-financed project on Primary Waste Collection (PWC) and Waste to Energy Alternatives for Greater Monrovia. Together, these two projects aim to support Liberia’s Nationally Disclosed Contribution (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by improving the Primary Waste Collection System as well as providing viable alternatives to waste recycling, composting and Wasteto Energy alternatives.
CALCP is seeking to implement their projects in close alignment in order to provide a holistic approach to waste management and to ensure that Solid Waste Management in Liberia is viewed as a value chain from the household to the landfill site. To support this aim, there is a need to acquire the services of a local consulting firm/institution to conduct a capacity building workshop for Community Based Enterprises (CBEs) to address PWC in the rainy season as well as limit the impact of the climate change on the overall Greater Monrovia’s environment, social and health being of the public.
