Assignment Title: Consultancy Service for the Compilation of a National E-waste Inventory (NEI) for Ghana
Reference No.: GH-EHPMP-170200-CS-CQS
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Government of Ghana has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Africa Environmental Health and Pollution Management Programme (AEHPMP), and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.
The overall objective of this assignment is to undertake a country-wide situation analysis on e-waste to understand the physical flow of e-waste, by provenance and type, and assess the economic and social weight of the sector. This situational analysis is envisaged to become the foundation of an e-waste management information system in Ghana. The system would serve as a platform to guide the Government on initiatives related to the development of infrastructure for e-waste management, resource mobilization, awareness creation, capacity building, education and research, and monitoring and evaluation.
The consulting services (“the Services”) include: the conduct of primary research, technical investigations and preparation of essential documents for executing the assignment; inventory of e-waste by origin and type, trade routes and hubs, as well as a review of major toxic pollutants; assessment of environmental health implications of harmful chemicals and waste and options for risk management; assessment of socio-economic considerations to measure the contribution of the e-waste sector to the economy; assessment of the dimension of the sector, including the different value-chains, their economic value, their employment level, the involvement of other nationals, and their degree of formalization, as well as ways to increase the formalization of the sector and boost value addition and job creation; comprehensively review, identify gaps, and improve on existing baseline assessments conducted by GIZ, KfW, EU, and SECCO.
The estimated level of effort (professional staff-months) is 32 staff-months. The duration of the assignment is estimated at Seven (7) months and the assignment is expected to start in March 2022.
The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment are attached to this request for expressions of interest.
