Rationale
___________________________

As a growing city in the National Capital Region, Malabon is well placed to become a
global leader in Ecological Solid Waste Management, demonstrating that urban and
growing communities are capable of handling their waste in an ecologically friendly and
sustainable manner.

However, with the onset of development, the City of Malabon is understandably plagued
by many obstacles that would make it difficult to bring that vision into fruition. As it
continues to grow in importance and size of population, the City Government’s ongoing
efforts to fully implement ESWM in accordance with the law will continue to be overrun
by the increasing volumes of waste generated daily by a burgeoning City.

This proposal of partnership between the City Government of Malabon and Mother Earth
Foundation (MEF) is offered as the means by which the City can leapfrog ahead of the
garbage race, and be well on the way to become a Model LGU in Ecological Waste
Management.

Project Brief
________________________________

Project Title: Program for the City Wide Implementation

of RA 9003 in Malabon

Project Proponent/Partner: GIZ

Mother Earth Foundation

Project Owner/Partner: City Government of Malabon through

the Office of the Mayor

Beneficiaries: All Barangays of Malabon,

and other ESWM Sectors

Total Project Cost:

Coverage: Remaining 16 barangays,

With MRF Operation for 1 year per
barangay, inclusive of salary of Eco-
Aides/Waste Collectors (32 total)
Duration: 12 months
Budget for IEC: P119,000.00
Budget for MRF and Operations : P2,014,000.00

Total: P3,297,500.00
Summary Description:
This program covers intensive trainings and hands-on clinics in ESWM implementation
for the 21 barangays of Malabon. It will facilitate the establishment of Materials
Recovery Facilities or Eco-Centers in all barangays or clusters of small barangays, and
provide a mechanism for bringing legal action against recalcitrant barangays that are
unwilling to implement ESWM and are therefore in violation of RA 9003. This twelve
(12) month project will undertake three main activities:

1. ESWM motivational and technical training, to be provided by MEF.

2. Prolonged and continuous assistance to barangays in implementing ESWM

programs in compliance with RA 9003, to be provided by an in-house MEF
Project Consultant.

3. Monitoring and Evaluation, to be carried out by the MEF Monitoring Staff.

Project Objectives
_______________________________________

General Objectives:

To maximally increase the capacity of all barangays in Malabon to comply with

RA 9003.
To divert City waste from dumps and/or landfills, and help enable the City to
attain compliance with RA 9003

Specific Objectives:

1. To increase the capacity of at least 75% of the 21 barangays in Malabon to

operate MRFs or Eco-Centers in accordance with RA 9003 within one year
from the start of the project.

2. In the first six months of the project, to build and strengthen the capacity of at
least 75% of all barangays in Malabon to develop and implement waste
management action plans, frameworks and ordinances in order to ensure
project sustainability.

3. By the end of the first year, to increase the number of households practicing
waste segregation at-source to at least 75% citywide.

4. To build and strengthen the ability of all Malabon barangays to monitor their
waste management activities and record waste diversion rates within one year
of initiating the project.
Project Components
________________________________________

1. Baseline Data Survey

A baseline survey will be undertaken to establish the capacity-building needs

and requirements of the barangays. The baseline data will be validated
through field visits and will provide a starting point from which to track the
progress of each barangay.

2. Training Activities:
a. Inner Ecology Workshops The workshop is a highly motivational and
empowering seminar that explores the interconnections between human
activities and the state of the environment, while showing how simple
changes in our thinking regarding waste can have profound benefits on the
planet and our local environment.

b. Ecological Solid Waste Management Trainings The comprehensive

EWSM trainings hone the knowledge and skills of City and Barangay
officials, designated eco-aides and the City Environmental and Natural
Resources Officer on proper ecological solid waste management through
the establishment of waste segregation systems and materials recovery
facilities, and the composting of biodegradable waste. An off-site eco tour
to model sites that have successfully implemented ESWM operations
concludes the training.

c. Action Planning The planning workshop involves a Simple Waste

Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS), profiling of the communities
involved, public consultation on the local ESWM plan, education on
applicable laws and policies, and their implementation and enforcement
procedures. The action planning aims to assist the barangays in
developing ESWM frameworks and the appropriate resolutions and
ordinances to support such frameworks.
3. Barangay Information and Education Campaign (IEC)
Planning:
The ESWM IEC planning strengthens the conducted training through the
organization of a Barangay Solid Waste Committee and a Barangay IEC
Team. It will have a planning workshop in context with the local community’s
cultural profile, production of materials (leaflets, posters, signs, etc.), and
promotion of the IEC to specific sectors in the community.

4. Technical Consultancy and Troubleshooting

Continuing after-training consultancy services shall be provided by the MEF

Project Consultant to the barangays, including retraining or additional mini-
trainings, if necessary, to ensure proper and sustainable implementation of
ESWM

5. Monitoring and Evaluation

The Monitoring and Evaluation component of the project seeks to ensure the
sustainability of the barangay level ESWM programs. An output check, an
assessment of indicators and results and, when applicable, a compliance
audit will be done by the MEF Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, together with
the Barangay Solid Waste Committee.

6. Progress Reports and Recommendations

Periodic Progress Reports with accompanying recommendations shall be
prepared and submitted by the MEF Project Team to the City Government at
pre-agreed intervals, to keep the City appraised of Project developments.
Partnerships
__________________________

1. This project is intended to be a partnership between MEF and the City

Government of Malabon, which shall be duly formalized through a Memorandum
of Agreement and Project Contract.

2. The implementation of the project will also rely on a healthy partnership between
MEF and the barangays of City, which can be fostered by the Mayor’s Office
through the issuance of circulars or memoranda to all barangays announcing the
City’s partnership with MEF in the ESWM project and enjoining their full
cooperation with MEF.
