Activity: Assessment of compliance with MSW (M&H) Rules 2000

Analyse compliance of MSWM in your hometown with MSW (M&H) Rules 2000 and initially discuss options to achieve better compliance

1. Identify reasons for non-compliance following the mind-maps in your workbook.If you are aware of other reasons than listed please add those to the mind maps.If you want you can also take notes on you rating / reasons for rating in your workbook.

2. Transfer your individual analysis to the posters;

3. Optional topics for a group discussion are:

• Status of implementation of MSW Rules in the home towns, reasons for non-compliance, consequences

• What would be required to apply the existing rules more efficiently in your city?

• Individual options for improvement of the current shortfalls

• What would be essential components of municipal bye-laws to foster efficient MSWM including CDW and other waste classes?

Module 2: Activities 30

Activity: Stakeholders in MSWM – roles and responsibilities

• MSWM is a joint undertaking of numerous authorities, institutions, groups and private sector organizations.

• The stakeholder landscape provides a simplified graphical overview of key stakeholders, their function in the system, and their importance.

• Construction of a stakeholder landscape for MSWM in your city is the task of this group work.

Basic training on Municipal Solid Waste Managementfor Urban Local Bodies – M2: Rules and Guidelines

Module 2: Activities 31

Activity: Stakeholders in MSWM – working steps1) List all actors being involved in MSWM (use Table 11 on page 81 of your

workbook)2) Classify the actors according to two criteria:

a) Assign the organizations considered to three spheres of function:Core organizations, contributing organizations, outer layer organizations

b) Assign the stakeholder to one of the 6 core sectors organisation involved in MSWM :Municipal departments / agencies, Government bodies, Civil society organizations, private sector, financing organizations, informal sector

3) Characterize the actors with regard toa) their interest in the project:

supportive, neutral, hesitant, adverse, b) their power to influence the project:

strong, reasonable, low, c) their responsibility on MSWM

4) Locate the stakeholders in a diagram according to their function and symbolize them with a circle. If a stakeholder has a high power to hamper or stop MSWM processes use red color. Furthermore you can symbolize positive relationships between actors by drawing a connecting line between them. Negative relationships may be symbolized by red lines with a lightning symbol ().

4) Discuss how the stakeholder’s contribution could be improved / made more efficient.

5) After having compiled the stakeholder landscapes each group presents its results for discussion to the plenary. Groups should particularly consider whether the analysis has brought up new insights in terms of relevance and role of stakeholder groups.
