Clean Air: Energy Efficiency in Transportation

Clean Air projects aim to contribute to the improvement of air quality, to

reduce the negative effects on public health and the environment

Swisscontacts Clean Air projects focus on five intervention areas: Baseline elaboration

Emissions air quality impact on health & environment

Awareness building & environmental educationCreation of awareness and demand for clean air

Capacity building through institutional strengtheningLocal capacities guarantee sustainability of the process

legal framework improvementCrucial for setting incentives and investments by the private sector

Clean Air Management Plan implementedAssistance in elaboration, public consultation and implementation

Peru: Fuel taxes according to toxicity

Situation before project start:

The fuel taxation system recompenses the use ofthe most pollution fuel, therefore hindering the shift

to cleaner engine technologies

Project interventions:

Campaign against high sulphur content in diesel designed

Key allies for campaign identified and convinced

High media coverage obtained

Results:

New fuel taxation system that recompenses the use ofclean fuels (and therefore modern engine technology)elaborated and in gradual implementation

Trend towards cars with modern technology statistically proved

8

Bolivia: Air quality monitoring

Situation before project start:

No awareness about negative impacts of air pollution

on public health and environment

Project interventions:

Pilot monitoring network established

Technical staff trained

Joint funding body: municipalities & universities

Gradually decreasing co-funding of equipment

Results:

Air quality monitoring network in four biggest cities established

Municipalities cover running costs and invest in equipment

Quality control regularly conducted by a national university

High quality data on urban air quality obtained

Healthcare Waste Management - Separation

To assure the sustainability of the separation of healthcarewaste in origin, various steps have been undertaken:

Yearly evaluations headed by Ministry of Health

Waste management will be part of accreditation of hospitals

Introduction of waste management into university careers

Success stories inpilot hospitals:

Amount of infectious wastereduced by 50% (Cochabamba)

25% of general waste sold torecycling companies

Amount of infectious wastereduced by 30% (La Paz)

16

Healthcare Waste Management - Collection

Assistance to improve separated collection of healthcarewaste through the following measures:

Optimisation of routesof the collection service basedon the information provided by the baseline studies

Adapt vehiclesfor the collection of infectioushealthcare waste, according to national standards

Tricyclesfor areas of difficult access by vehicle,strategic distribution of transfer stations

Training the staffof the private operators and thepublic supervisors of the collection service

Healthcare Waste Management - Disposal

For reasons of sustainability, the projectpriorizes the following measures:

Improvement of monitoringof final disposal

Competence of the local authorities, since urbanwaste management has been privatised

Creation or improvement of existing sectionfor healthcare waste within municipal landfill

Three big cities (El Alto, La Paz, Cochabamba)are in the process of translation of the landfill

Lobbying and assistance for an environmentalfriendly deposition of the healthcare waste inthe new landfills

A landfill built with up-to-date technology is moresustainable than the decentralized incineration(no hospital incinerator is working properly)

PET Recycling

Adjusting experiences made in Central

America to the Bolivian context, theaction line will emphasise in:

Strengthen legal frameworkLaw on Solid Waste Local rules on Recycling

Create and foster neutral PET-Foundations

Regional non-profit-organizationshall be in charge based oncontributions of PET-generating

enterprises of awareness building and settingup an improved system of PET-collection

Foster alliances: companieslocal authorities civil society

Improve initiatives by sponsoringactivities cooperation to private

sector related to social responsible business

Bolivia: Potential of domestic waste

Economic potential

of waste recovery

in Bolivia:

Value of solid

waste: 60 millionsUSD per year

Job opportunities

for 20.000 people

Energetic potential

(biogas production

from organic

waste) in Bolivia:

20 million gascontainers

per year (2 for

each inhabitant)

Environmental

potential in Bolivia:
