– Support to the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) for the construction of solid waste management facilities for the whole city and improvement of solid waste management into the 5 selected slums where the public service is impeded by lack of accessibility;
– Support to the program management activities by the Development Partnership Department (DPD) of Lagos Stale, in order to assure coordination of the two components and fluent communication among the various ministries and implementing agencies.
The services include:
– The preparation of a diagnosis and a needs assessment on the urban renewal, and solid waste management components, which will give elements of arbitration to refine the scope of the project;
– The preparation of a program feasibility study, which will include:
– For each slum within the scope of the urban renewal component, a ‘Slum Development Plan’, to be considered as an urban upgrading redevelopment action plan that will include a portfolio of ‘Intervention Packages’, that is to say single investment projects or interventions;
– A ‘Facility Development Program’ for the solid waste management component, to be considered as an action plan that will include a portfolio of ‘Investment Packages’, that is to say single infrastructural investment projects;
– A ‘Program Operational Manual’ which should describe for each component the processes and systems for the program implementation including legal, financial and technical aspects, roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders at the different stages of the program preparation and implementation;
– A ‘Capacity building plan’ for the stakeholders to ensure adequate management and coordination of the program, as well as the durability of its impacts.
