STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
1. First entrant into the Kenyan market and
friendly environment
2. Triple bottom line benefits
3. Project location
4. Government support on electricity
generation
1. Lack of experienced technical
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
1. Government is encouraging IPPs to add
5GW to the grid by 2017
2. Guaranteed market for the electricity
produced
3. Local employment creation
4. Change the way society views waste
5. Scaling up in Nairobi and other cities
1. No sustainable supply of feed stock as it
is dependent on the informal sector
SWOT analysis
Logical framework Activities
Acquiring all relevant licenses
Plant equipment and site set up
Getting the Power Purchase Agreement
Seting up agents that will be stationed at strategic collection points in high catchment areas
Outputs Production of 7.8 MW of electricity that is based on similar project in other countries outside of Kenya
To increase the income of over 1000 collectors
Reduce green-house-gas (GHG) emissions
Logical framework
PurposeProduction of extra electricity by 2018 using clean technology that uses non-biodegradable waste, in particular worn out tires and used plastic bottles
Job creation within the community
To improve the well-being of the surrounding communities near dump sites
Theory of change. Changing the way society perceives waste, from a menace to an asset
Goals Implementation of clean technologies for production of electricity from non-biodegradable waste in Kenya
Confronting corruption Areas prone to corruption
• Syndicates, licensing, drafting contract and permits
• Cartels, embezzlement and security of assets
Tools to tackle corruption
• Cooperation with local and international watchdogs
• Promoting whistle blowing
• Implementing good codes of conduct
