Introduction
Development of a Green Investment, Business Models and Financing Strategy for Low-Carbon Municipal Solid Waste Management in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka faces growing challenges in municipal solid waste management (MSWM), particularly in urban and semi-urban areas. Inefficient waste collection systems, limited infrastructure for segregation and recycling, and unsustainable disposal practices contribute to environmental pollution, public health risks, and significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Rapid urbanization, population growth, and changing consumption patterns have further strained existing municipal waste management systems, making it increasingly difficult to manage waste in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner. Improving MSWM is critical not only for local environmental quality and public health but also for achieving Sri Lanka’s broader climate and sustainable development goals. The country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) include specific targets for reducing GHG emissions from the waste sector, emphasizing the need for integrated, low-carbon, and sustainable solutions. Strengthening local authorities’ capacity to manage municipal solid waste efficiently and sustainably is therefore a national priority.
To address these challenges, UNDP Sri Lanka is implementing the project ‘Scale-up and Sustain the Low-Carbon Municipal Solid Waste Management and Resource Recovery in Sri Lanka,’ in partnership with the Ministry of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government (MoPAPCLG). The project aims to promote sustainable, low-carbon, and locally appropriate MSWM solutions in selected Local Authorities (LAs).
Key interventions of the project include preparation of integrated waste management plans, integrated waste system design, environmentally sound treatment options and low carbon waste interventions. In addition, the project explores the possibilities to strengthen enabling conditions for financially viable, climate aligned and scalable MSWM investments. Several integrated waste management planning exercises, feasibility studies, and technology assessments are currently undertaken under the project. However, there is a recognized need for a dedicated, strategic expertise function to consolidate these efforts into a coherent green investment, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and financing strategy.
Objective;
The overall objective of this consultancy is to support UNDP Sri Lanka and key government stakeholders in conceptualizing, guiding and strengthening the enabling conditions for a practical, coherent, and implementable Green Investment, PPP and Financing Strategy for Municipal Solid Waste Management in targeted Local Authorities (LAs).
The assignment will focus on piloting approaches, identifying investment opportunities, and assessing technical, financial, market potential including revenue streams and institutional feasibility, rather than delivering fully structured or closed transactions. The assignment is expected to support the gradual translation of planned initiatives of participating Local Authorities, including the project’s two proposed pilot initiatives and other relevant UNDP supported local authority initiatives, into investment ready and market-aligned, climate responsive and scalable investments in the medium term.
