KEY WASTE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES IN JAMAICA
1. Poor solid waste management policy framework
2. Lack of resources leading to inefficient and unreliable waste systems• Waste collection: ~ 60% of waste is collected• Waste recovery: very limited• Waste disposal: disposal sites are actually dumps, covering is restricted to few sites up until recent• Financing and cost recovery
3. Lack of a sanitary municipal landfill resulting in wide-scale pollution, frequent fires and gasemissions
4. Lack of proper facility to treat hazardous waste
OVERVIEW OF THE INTEGRATED COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
• Funding Source: Government of Jamaica through World Bank Loan
• Implementing Agency: Jamaica Social Investment Fund
• Budget: $US 42M
• PDO: Enhance access to socio-economic infrastructure and services
• Direct Beneficiaries: Seven (7) parishes, 18 Communities, 80,000 residents
• Project Interventions: Roads, water, sanitation, drainage, street lighting,electricity regularization, school upgrade, SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT(SWM), alternative livelihood, training
• SWM – infrastructure and equipment for storage; recycling and composting;trucks for collection and disposal; cleaning and enforcement officers; resultsbased financing (incentive scheme); training and social marketing.
ICDP SWM PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND INVOLVEMENT
1. Communication:• Conducted project launch in each community to provide citizens with details about the
project• Face to face meetings with community leadership i.e. CBOs and political representatives to
provide information and get feedback• Conducted community stakeholder needs assessment and prioritization sessions
2. Community ownership and capacity building:• Citizens involved in identification of locations for placement of SWM infrastructure and
equipment along with Local Authorities• Community development committees (CDC) or community based organizations (CBOs)
selected candidates to be trained and hired as environmental wardens - enforcement.• CDCs and CBOs are trained in Community Based Contracting (CBC) to implement and manage
their own SWM project rather than hiring external contractors.
3. Incentives for behaviour change:• Results-based financing to incentivize community and Environmental Wardens to keep
community clean and put waste into bins and skips• Proof of service provision by incentivizing regular and frequent waste collection. After RBF
started, ICDP neighbourhoods began receiving regular waste collection services
RESULTS BASED FINANCING MODEL
Bins installed for waste
separation at source
CURRENT PROJECT OUTPUTS
Clean-up and beautify of 30 communities

Contracted and trained more than thirty
(30) CBOs in CBC.

stations and 30 composting units
Installed 2281 colour-coded bins for
waste separation
Currently installing 55 skips/dumpsters in
the communities

NSWMA
Piloting RBF scheme in 3 communities

CURRENT PROJECT OUTCOMES
The communities are significantly cleaner
NSWMA improved frequency of waste collection in
project communities
Reduced spread of Zik-V in the communities
Increased environmental awareness and
compliance of residents with litter laws
Initiation of recycling and composting in the
communities
Increased interest of non-project communities in
solid waste management
LESSONS LEARNT
• Communities should be engaged well in advance of projectimplementation and should be allowed to participate in the planningand design phases in order to encourage full buy-in and success.
• Improvement in citizens knowledge, attitude, perception and behaviourwith respect to solid waste management is a long arduous process thatrequires consistent effort and resources to effect the desired change.
• RBF has had spill-over effects. Waste collection services have improvedin all ICDP communities even though only 3 are currently in the RBFprogramme
• Solid waste management is a valuable source of employment in inner-city communities which positively impact crime level and outbreak ofdiseases such as Zik-V.
