Project Impacts
o The
project started working with 50 households and scaled it up to
63,000 households (HHs) and mobilized them into Community Based
Organisations as Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs).
o The NGO has also facilitated formation of 1107Self Help Groups
and unregistered Co-operatives in the peri-urban areas with
nearly 20,000 poor in 2 districts of Bihar. Credit and thrift
was made accessible to the SHG members, around USD 113,000 have
been disbursed as credit and USD 90,000 has been mobilized as
savings in the last 3-4 years.
o The project started with 4 Safai Mitras and later through
regular capacity building efforts, meetings and continued
dialogues, institutionalized more than 332 local rag pickers
into 11 small groups. The project promoted social security and
this is the first time that the poor Safai Mitras have benefited
from social security schemes. More than 20,000 people are
presently insured. 10 crèches are functioning and 300 women are
linked to maternity scheme within the solid waste management
program. o A few have got claims against the loss of work
through illness and maternity benefits for nearly USD 4432.
o The SMs collective enterprise of workers is now managed
through a joint account, managed by them and facilitated by
NIDAAN. The workers who had been earning USD 10 per month in
early 2003 are now getting nearly USD 50.
o The community pay systems were established in 2003 with 200
HHs and had collections of nearly USD 120 per month. Presently,
the NGO has reached to 63,000 HHs with a collection of nearly
15,400 USD per month. The program has been further scaled up
through equal partnership of the local municipal corporation for
USD 15,000 per month, by privatizing the systems in 11 wards.
The PMC has agreed to support for a period of 4 years with USD
700,000.
o The garbage management systems have led to reduction of nearly
43 MTs of landfill, thus saving methane release. 3 MT of garbage
per month and been recycled by composting. Although, only 15%
the total waste collected by the NGO, which is nearly 29 MTs per
month, is being recycled as the PMC has only given two spots for
composting to the NGO. The negotiations are on to acquire more
recycling space.
o The NGO is raising nearly USD 150 per month from the sale of Vermi
composting and Vermi. It is also recycling paper through the
paper plant and is raising nearly USD 80 per month from the sale
of paper. This effort is still in very infant stage and needs
greater marketing efforts.
o The NGO has set up a retail outlet managed through the society
- “ANGANAA”, for the sale of products from the SGP project. It
is also retailing products manufactured and managed through the
SHGs and other partner institutions in the area.
o The NGO has also procured plastic recycling machines the
training and capacity building of the rag pickers is being done
for operations and maintenance. The rag pickers (SMs) are nearly
segregating the entire waste and are nearly earning USD 160 pm
per group through sale. This money is directly getting in the
rag pickers- society.
o Links have been established in creating training opportunities
for the larger GTZ-SGP-MoEF ECO CITIES partners. The program en
route has build many partnerships has got the support from many
institutions like banks (easy credits for the SHGs and links for
opening accounts), hospitals (quality medical services to the
Rag pickers, staff of NIDAAN and partners), industry (providing
management services and also support in terms of in kind
contributions), insurance companies (need based insurance
policies for the staff and safai mitras and TATA motors
(subsidized credit and provisions of 9 vehicles purchased by
Nidaan).

“Enhancing environmental and social benefits from municipal
solid waste management”
Project
Strategy
The Goal of the project is to enhance the environmental and
social benefits accruing from the municipal grand economic
activity of solid waste management. It will streamline the
existing primary collection system for municipal solid waste in
Pune and extend it city-wide, through establishing a local
policy and institutional framework and integrate through a local
SWM notification and setting up appropriate institutional forms
(cooperative/s), urban poor who have been traditionally
dependent on recyclables in solid waste management. It will
streamline management and capacity-building systems for the
primary collection agents (cooperative/s) and facilitate the
creation of communication mechanisms/ forums and materials for
citizens/ generators/ SWM units to interact with the primary
collection agents through the Pune Municipal Corporation.
Community Participation
The waste picker’s cooperative will be involved in planning and
implementing the decentralized waste management model. They will
contribute by segregating the waste and monitoring compost pits.
Stakeholder discussions will be held about the framework for
systematizing the integration of waste pickers and other urban
poor in the provision of services for primary waste collection
Ward/ locality wise stakeholder discussions including with
elected representatives and residents’ association are planned
as one of the steps towards developing the institutional
framework. The Pune Municipal Corporation will also be involved
in the implementation process.
Capacity -
Building Component Exposure visit of mixed groups of
stakeholders, like waste-pickers, waste-picker supervisors,
municipal functionaries etc will be done to different waste
management initiatives in the country (Mumbai, Goa, Ujjain etc).
Leveraging of expertise from field level resource persons from
SGP and other similar projects in different parts of the country
in the SWM sector (Goa, eco-cities, Coorg etc)
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
Integration of waste pickers in formalized waste management system will
result in improved livelihood for waste pickers. Primary waste
collection will be done by waste pickers and dry waste will be
sold to scrap shop/ waste industries and wet waste will be vermi-composted.
Training of waste pickers, supervisors, Pune Municipal
Corporation’s sanitary staff, scrap shop personals, slum youths
etc will be done on waste management and vermi-composting.
Gender
Focus
The project beneficiaries are very poor self-employed women workers in the
informal economy. Their integration into waste collection will
protect and improve their livelihoods and enable them to earn
their livelihoods with more dignity. They will become service
providers instead of scavengers.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
The project will promote use of IEC material for awareness generation
among the different stakeholders. Development of mechanisms for
communication between citizens, service providers and municipal
functionaries, for smooth functioning of primary waste
collection will be facilitated. Development and implementation
of a communication strategy for publicizing and installing the
new primary waste collection system will also be done.
Policy Impact
This project is based on a close working relationship with the
Pune Municipal Corporation, and is emanating out of the waste
quantification and management study, as well as the preliminary
recommendations of the PMC Steering Committee on SWM.

‘Establishing sustainable decentralized solid waste processing
initiatives at community levels involving scrap workers in the
state of Goa’
Project
Strategy Goa Foundation had earlier completed a SGP project on
Solid waste management successfully. Based on the results of the
previous project, the current project will upscale rapidly the
construction of in-house solid waste disposal schemes using
environmentally friendly methods and technologies including EM
and earthworms. This to be done with large scale actors
including building developers, cooperative housing societies,
hotels, resorts, factories and major institutions. The project
will prepare and implement a non-biodegradable waste collection
and disposal scheme that will deal effectively with plastic
litter, through the creation of permanent arrangements for
collection and disposal (recycling) of such wastes and prepare a
detailed feasibility report on the setting up of two waste paper
and cloth reprocessing units to make paper from materials
redeemed from solid waste sites.
Community
Participation Segregation of waste based on awareness will be
done with community participation at various levels, i.e.
residents, municipal bodies, rag pickers etc. Financial
involvement of different stakeholders will be encouraged for
establishment of vermicompost and sustainability of the
activities. Social sustainability will be achieved as local self
government bodies are directly involved along with high
involvement of community – both physically and financially.
Capacity -
Building Component Various training programmes and workshops on
awareness and technology development will be organized with the
community, the government officials and the rag pickers. The
waste handlers will be trained in collection, segregation and
recycling of waste. The plastic recyclers will be networked with
the local bodies to lift up the collected plastic for recycling.
Emphasis on
Sustainable Livelihoods The plastic will be collected from a
number of areas and will be stored in the Panchayat premises.
The plastic recyclers will be networked with the local bodies to
lift up the collected plastic for recycling for income
generation. The project also proposes to work out concrete
schemes, ward-wise and village-wise, for door-to-door collection
of non-biodegradable waste, and for introducing measures for
handling of non-biodegradable waste, including compression of
plastic and its dispatch for recycling. The Foundation has
already set up non-profit company to undertake the activities.
Gender Focus
As rag pickers will be involved, gender equity might be
fulfilled but no special emphasis or activities are proposed.
Project
Results
1. The Goa Foundation has been given the responsibility to
supervise the management of solid waste at two Municipal
dumpsites on behalf of the Margao Municipal Council and the
Mapusa Municipal Council.
2. Around 1500-2000 kg of waste is being processed at these sites and the
municipal council is selling the manure generated.
3. The Foundation has raised a co-financing of USD 77,500,
mainly from the municipal councils.
4. 200 school students, staff of 10 municipal councils,
around130 households and 30-35 Panchayat members have been
trained in waste management and vermi composting.
5. The Foundation is handling the waste management and
segregation at the Dempo Mining site. The waste generated is
being segregated and treated and the compost is being used for
reclamation of the mining site.
