#1JUSTICE SPROGRESS INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT: A CASE STUDY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA Oluwabukola Adeyemo Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) June 2019 LAWMA#2INTRODUCTION It is a known fact that the rate at which waste generation is growing requires urgent and concerted effort of all stakeholders. • Lagos, like other major cities in developing world, is facing population explosion which implies surge in waste generation. This has serious negative impact on the air, water, land and, eventually, human health if not properly managed. . The complexity, cost and coordination required to combat the menace has necessitated multi-stakeholder's involvement in all stages of waste stream, such as integrated approach to waste management in Lagos state. LAWMA#3BACKGROUND Lagos is a coastal city with a landmass of 3,345km² and population of about 20 million people who lives and work in the city and being the commercial nerve centre of the nation, there are lots of activities going on daily with people migrating into the city everyday. LAWIVIA#4Background cont. With the increasing population, the volume of waste generated daily is about 10000 metric tonnes per day and were mostly landfilled. This is a poor use of resources which cost state government, commercial businesses and households huge financial burden. • It also causes environmental damages with the uncontrolled emission of greenhouse gas such as methane CH4 into the atmosphere. LAWMA#5Background cont. Waste being a natural consequence of human activities was once seen as a burden in our society; however, with the shift in attitude and a better understanding of global warming, sustainable consumption and recycling became the focus. • The broad impact of climate change and the depletion of resources demands responsive solutions for the collection, separation and recovery process as well as converting discarded waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials. Thereby, reducing in significant quantity the consumption of natural resources and reducing the need for conventional waste disposal. LAWMA#6Lagos State Waste Analysis.

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE There are 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas in Lagos and same are statutorily responsible for refuse disposal activities. • The complexities of the metropolis with limited land space for landfill site as well as boundary issues, refuse disposal became burdensome for the local government, hence the need for a central coordination of the waste management processes to ensure effective delivery of service for a clean and sustainable environment LAWMA was established to manage collection and dispose all categories of waste with future projections of transiting to a regulatory agency and building adequate capacity at the local government level.

Gender employment and Job creation LAWMA#48Reform Concept (2015-2018) Change of status and governance structure of sanitation sector through the 2017 Environmental Management and Protection Law. Business concept from social entrepreneurship to capital market financing. Lagos State Government provided the risk instrument to support the capital market financing through the provision of Market Guarantee and Irrevocable Standard Payment Order (ISPO). Institutionalize structures were unbundled and dis-integrated. Social and corporate inclusion was visibly missing. Lack of ownership of the project by implementing agencies of government and the operatives. LAWMA#49Reform Concept (2015-2018) Contn'd There was a knowledge gap in the public sector (MOF, MOJ, and MOE and LAWMA) on business concepts and possible deliverables. Businesses assumptions were not properly integrated into the implementation framework. Lack of effective project team integration. Absence of integration of reform and government's key strategic priorities. Poor management of strategic key holders such as the PSP, media and the public. Ultimately the 2015-2018 waste management aspirations suffered a major setback due to lack of efficiency and sustainability. LAWMA#50Visionscape MAN CLEANER CLEANER LAGOS AWN 1300 CLEANER.

LAWMA#52INTERVENTION PLANS AND ACTION The Intervention objectives were to address the social and environmental issues from the failure of the 2015-2018 reform programme. To restore the investors and public confidence in the ability of Government to correct itself. • Rescue the social entrepreneurs (PSP) from the social and economic consequences of the collapse of the economic life line of that sector. • To restore the legacies of the Lagos State Government in the waste management sector. Re-orientation and sensitization through media • Mopping of accumulated and uncollected waste • Clearing of backlogs of waste across the city LAWMA#53Intervention operation. of blocked canals with pet bottles plastics and Styrofoam by officials of LAWMA and Private Sector sorting and collection for recycling purpose MOE LAWMA#54There is value in Waste for Everyone Students Investors Formal Sector Waste Professional Informal Sector Entrepreneur#55Circular Economy in Lagos Turning waste into resources is the focus in a circular economy. Improved waste management helps to reduce health and environmental problems, greenhouse gas emissions (directly by cutting emissions from landfills and indirectly by recycling materials which would otherwise be extracted and processed). In Lagos we have been able to identify that the focus under the CE are the manufacturers and producers who needs to re-introduce waste from their production line and reuse same as input while giving support to the informal and formal resource managers for resource recovery. Consumers are identified to consume responsibly • We are working with the manufacturing companies under the extended Producers Responsibility platform on sustainable use of resources LAWMA#56What next?
