Grants to Enhance Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R) Markets in Makassar, Indonesia

Deadline: 12-Jan-22

The Tetra Tech and Clean Cities, Blue Ocean (CCBO) are seeking applications for the grant program to build local capacity for communities to manage solid waste aggregation facilities and enhance reduce, reuse, recycle (3R) markets in Makassar, Indonesia.

CCBO seeks to fund one organization which will work closely with Tetra Tech to build local capacity of communities to implement SWM Social Behavior Change, community based SWM Infrastructures optimization, and recyclables market exploration.

To prevent plastics and other waste from entering Indonesia’s waters and other natural environments, a sustainable enabling environment must be built with better access to recycling markets and reuse opportunities; enhanced operating systems for 3R/SWM infrastructure, combined with more efficient equipment and technologies; and supporting systems and regulations to create an effective enabling environment.

CCBO expects the successful applicant to work closely with Tetra Tech solid waste and recycling professionals on the following in 1 or more communities in Kota Makassar, to:

  • Increase waste collection (unsegregated and segregated) by proposing a pilot model that can be easily replicated at the regional level.
  • Identify all waste-generating structures that exist in Kota Makassar to locate where collection must take place and their proximity to SWM facilities. Include informal settlements, slums or other underrecognized areas. Identify areas that currently serviced by Kota Makassar employees.
    • Carry out basic research on households and businesses to understand how they are currently source segregating (if at all), what practices they are willing to do, what barriers or challenges they might face in new practices that can inform and SBC program in line with CCBO’s approach to SBC
    • Based on research and the local governments SWM plans, provide waste management socializations to households by engaging neighborhood associations / community groups (rukun tetangga / rukun warga) on how to segregate their waste, effective collection schemes (collection frequency per week, proper way to bag or bin waste, location for depositing, introduction to the TPS3R, waste bank, etc.), informing households of recycling and reuse options and where to sell materials. Provide participants with source segregation kits (ie bags / bins). 
    • Develop and test an incentive model that motivates residents to use the local facilities and is sustainable once the grant period is over.
  • Based on research, conduct training to individuals on ways to profitably manage organic (composting, etc.) and recycle waste. 
  • Based on research, conduct SWM training for businesses (markets, café, hotel, hospital perhaps, schools) on how to segregate the waste, the collection scheme (collection frequency per week, proper way to bag or bin waste, location for depositing, introduction to the TPS3R, etc.), and an introduction to materials that can be recycled and reused and where to sell them. 
  • Identify and map local, national, and regional markets for recyclable material to understand their requirements for accepting materials (volume, quality, material type, pricing), and propose a way to aggregate enough material to meet these requirements (eg, through purchase of equipment and materials and / or workforce training for staff to increase volumes, and brokering with buyers). 
  • Develop a sustainable model that can be replicated throughout Kota Makassar and / or the immediate region with private sector investment. 
  • Strengthen the labor / management business model at local facilities (eg, through revenue generation that can sustain a workfo rce , facilities, and operation expenses).
Funding Information
  • CCBO anticipates awarding one (1) grant that is not expected to exceed $ 250,0000. Grant budgets must fully align with the proposed activities, and in certain instances the final budget will be less than $ 250,000.
