Overall Objective (2005-2012):
Selected local governments implement integrated waste management systems proficiently and economically.
Indicators:
1. At least 5 cities each with a population of over 70,000 operate regulated landfill sites
according to the standards set by legislation.
2. The 5 regulated landfill sites operate a monitoring system giving early warning of
environmental dangers according to recognised standards.
3. In at least 5 cities the operation costs for waste management are financed by a system
of waste taxes/fees which covers at least 30% of the local budget for waste
management (currently less than 5%)
4. In at least 5 cities recycling processes are applied using the informal sector by which
an increase of 25% in resource recovery is attained.
5. Relevant actors from policy making, civil society and the private sector agree on key
criteria (definition of objectives, content, competences, regulation) for a national solid
waste management strategy (documentation of the agreement procedure). The
implementation of at least three concrete derivative measures was initiated.

Objectives and Indicators of Phase 2 (2008-2010):
Select local government units gradually implement the waste legislation in cooperation
with the regional environmental authorities as well as the national commission for solid
waste management.
Indicators
1. The measures carried out to improve the waste management in at least 3 cities
each with a population of over 70,000 inhabitants (regulated landfill, composting,
material recovery) correspond to the standards defined in the waste legislation.
(evaluation by auditors).
2. Relevant actors in at least 5 LGUs agree on local waste ordinances, which enable a
gradual covering of the operation costs of at least 20% of the municipal waste
management budget via a system of waste taxes/fees (evaluation by auditors).
3. The organisational structure for solid waste management in environment
authorities put into place in at least one province fulfils the criteria (set up,
competences, personnel, inventory and working capital) agreed with the relevant
actors (DENR, EMB, NSWMC, PENRO, CENRO).
4. With the help of standardised methods (training modules, tool box for the planning
and implementation of waste managementsystems etc.) at least 10 of the 33
municipal LGUs are better qualified to apprehend their tasks (evaluation by
participants at qualifying measures).
06.02.2017 Seite 15 06.02.2017
Indicator 1, Phase 2 (2008-2010):
1. The measures carried out to improve the waste management in at least 3 cities each with a population of over 70,000 inhabitants (regulated landfill, composting, material recovery) correspond to the standards defined in the waste legislation.
Status: proper management on composting and material recovery is progressing, implementation of landfills is delayed.
Landfilling: 5 LGUs are either in the process to finalize their landfill planning and licensing process (Ormoc and Maasin), started a Feasibility Study for a landfill (Iloilo), are constructing a landfill (Bayawan) or operate a SLF (San Carlos1).
Composting: Composting projects were established and are operated by the following partner LGUs: Roxas, Buenavista, San Carlos, Bayawan, Dumaguete and Ormoc. However, the established treatment capacity remains < 10 % of the annual collected organic waste except for San Carlos City.
Material Recovery: Projects to enhance resource recovery are part of all work plans of partner LGUs for Phase 2. So far Dumaguete, San Carlos and Iloilo established various projects for material recovery which have realistic chances to lead to the legally defined waste diversion rate of >25% until end of Phase 2.

Indicator 2, overall objective (2005-2012):
2. The 5 regulated landfill sites operate a monitoring system giving early
warning of environmental dangers according to recognised standards.
Status: draft technical monitoring standard submitted, pending legal
instrument
The project proposed a technical guideline for dumpsite and landfill
monitoring to the NSWMC in August 2008. In order to enforce the
proposed monitoring standard the NSWMC needs to verify this guideline
as Department Administrative Order (DAO).
A further guideline to enhance the SLF site selection process was
submitted by SWM4LGUs in November 2007 to the NSWMC. This
guidelines needs to be released as DAO to enhance the delayed SLF site
selection process.

sector by which an increase of 25% in resource recovery is attained.
Status: PPP with Holcim established as core instrument for recovery and
informal sector involvement
The LGUs Iloilo, Dumaguete and San Carlos City deal already with a
considerable number of informal sector representatives at their local
dumpsites. In Bayawan and Ormoc City further municipal recycling
projects are in development.

Indicator 2, Phase 2 (2008-2010):
2. Relevant actors in at least 5 LGUs agree on local waste ordinances, which enable a gradual covering of the operation costs of at least 20% of the municipal waste management budget via a system of waste taxes/fees (evaluation by auditors).
Status: 2 LGUs already reached 20%, another 6 implement necessary frame conditions (e.g. SWM Full-Cost-Accounts and SWM
ordinances) to enhance their cost recovery for SWM services.
Dumaguete and Iloilo both reached already the benchmark of 20% cost recovery for provided SWM services. Buenavista and Bayawan released a new local SWM ordinance in 2007 respectively 2008. Maasin, Ormoc, Baybay and Palompon started with the establishment respectively revision of their local SWM policies.

4. With the help of standardised methods (training modules, tool box for the
planning and implementation of waste management systems etc.) at least 10 of
33 urbanized LGUs in the Visayas are better qualified to apprehend their tasks.
Status: 13 out of 16 standardized modules developed and tested
with 12 LGUs; accreditation proposal ongoing
Training modules and various tools to implement the waste
legislation are in preparation. So far, 13 out of the 16 proposed SWM
training modules were already delivered to key personnel of the
involved partner organizations (EMB regions 6, 7, 8 & 13, NSWMC
and 12 LGUs).
Further SWM tools and SWM best practices are in development and
will be accessible at the new project website end of 2009
(www.swm4lgus.org).

Proposed additional indicator for Gender, Phase 2 (2008-2010):
5. Both genders equally participate in project activities and capacity development
measures as well as in decision-making processes. Projects which address the
informal sector integration especially support women and women with children
with focus on providing livelihood opportunities and other social benefits.
Status of project related gender aspects:
Project participation at national and regional levels is fairly balanced with 56% female participation. However, the participating LGUs are significantly
dominated by male participation of 83%.
Decision-making processes in partner organizations at national and regional
levels are balanced with 52% female contribution. Decision making at local level, however, is heavily dominated by men with > 87%.
Informal sector activities at the Calahunan dumpsite could achieve gender-
balance with 56% female involvement and especially caters for mothers in
the age bracket 31-60 years providing relative safe and hygienic working conditions including protection equipment and competitive income.

Indicator 1, Phase 2 (2008-2010) – for LANDFILLING: 1. The measures carried out to improve the waste management in at least 3 cities each with a
population of over 70,000 inhabitants (regulated landfill, composting, material recovery)
correspond to the standards defined in the waste legislation. (evaluation by auditors).
1 LGU operates a SLF, 1 LGU started SLF construction, two further
LGUs received an ECC for SLF implementation in 2009;
Local SWM expertise for SLF planning/operation lacking;
SLF siting is still governed by site availability not suitability;
Detailed technical guidelines for SLF implementation lacking, hence mistakes during planning, material acquisition and construction are
common;
Position for SLF officer not defined in LGU personnel needs;
Investment and equipment for SLF establishment lacking in most LGUs;
Significance of dumpsite closure and SLF operation not understood in
view of climate protection.
Strength, weaknesses, issues, challenges, gaps
06.02.2017 Seite 38 06.02.2017
Indicator 1, Phase 2 (2008-2010) – for COMPOSTING: 1. The measures carried out to improve the waste management in at least 3 cities each with a
population of over 70,000 inhabitants (regulated landfill, composting, material recovery) correspond to the standards defined in the waste legislation.
LGUs provide composting projects which are too small in capacity, meaning the bulk of collected organic waste can not be processed;
Although the private sector (PS) is successfully involved in agricultural composting, LGUs do not tap the PS for compost operations;
Household composting is hardly functioning; if established incentives are not provided for households to maintain organic waste segregation;
The established segregation processes/technologies so far hardly deliver suited organic material for composting;
Standards and quality guidelines for municipal composting are not established;
LGUs are “not allowed” to sell compost outside their jurisdictions without FPA license and have not marketing experiences. Hence, they fail to recover project investments and operation cost,
In general, LGUs have no expertise to establish and maintain a market for organic recycling products.
Strength, weaknesses, issues, challenges and gaps
06.02.2017 Seite 39 06.02.2017
Indicator 1, Phase 2 – for SEGREGATION/MATERIAL RECOVERY:
1. The measures carried out to improve the waste management in at least 3 cities
each with a population of over 70,000 inhabitants (regulated landfill, composting,
material recovery) correspond to the standards defined in the waste legislation.
Waste segregation result is poor in most LGUs;
Private junkshops are available, however, their recovery rates and
environmental performance are unclear;
Barangay MRFs are partly established, but mostly with low efficiency;
Material recovery “happens uncontrolled” at source, along the roads,
on the collection truck and on the dumpsites;
The most of the material recovery at the local level is performed by the
informal sector; LGUs lacks tools and guidelines to deal with informal sector and to utilize their skills for the local SWM program;
Role of middlemen and consolidators are mostly unclear for LGU;
The private sector involvement into municipal SWM remains low.
Strength, weaknesses, issues, challenges and gaps
06.02.2017 Seite 40 06.02.2017
Indicator 1, Phase 2 (2008-2010) – for CO-PROCESSING: 1. The measures carried out to improve the waste management in at least 3 cities each with a
population of over 70,000 inhabitants (regulated landfill, composting, material recovery, co-processing) correspond to the standards defined in the waste legislation.
Material recovery for co-processing and production of AFR is not established in
LGUs yet;
The informal sector and especially waste pickers are interested to get involved
into AFR production out of municipal wastes as additional livelihood;
The LGUs recognize potentials for waste diversion and cost savings on waste
disposal management if co-processing and AFR recovery would be practiced;
Cement producers are capable and interested to utilize AFR out of the municipal
SWM stream;
The informal sector needs capacity building to perform and sustain AFR
production;
DENR did not provide a legal baseline for AFR production out of the municipal
SWM stream yet.
Strength, weaknesses, issues, challenges and gaps
06.02.2017 Seite 41 06.02.2017
Indicator 2, Phase 2 (2008-2010) – SWM COST RECOVERY:
2. Relevant actors in at least 5 LGUs agree on local waste ordinances, which enable
a gradual covering of the operation costs of at least 20% of the municipal waste
management budget via a system of waste taxes/fees.
2 LGUs apply “pay-as-you-throw-schemes”, several partner LGUs work
on new local SWM ordinances;
The most partner LGUs still have a very low cost recovery;
Only one LGU established a SWM full cost account system so far;
SWM fees are accounted under general fund and can not directly be
recovered for SWM program enhancements;
From the local DF up to 20 % can be used for environmental management but no “least budget level” is prescribed for LGUs. Hence
SWM programs may be delayed/postponed due to other, more
pressuring LGU needs/priorities;
The most LGUs can not provide the needed investments for municipal SWM facilities.
Strength, weaknesses, issues, challenges and gaps
06.02.2017 Seite 42 06.02.2017
Indicator 3, Phase 2 (2008-2010) – SWM ORGANIZATION by DENR:
2. The organisational structure for SWM in environment authorities put into
place in at least one province fulfils the criteria (set up, competences,
personnel, inventory and working capital) agreed with the relevant actors DENR, EMB, NSWMC, PENRO, CENRO).
EMB personnel is not capacitated to serve the regional LGUs, e.g. only 2-3 SWM
personnel per EMB regional office for > 100 LGUs;
SWM officers of PENRO and CENRO level are mostly multi-tasked;
So far no DENR Memorandum exists which clarifies roles, task, functions for
EMB and PENRO/CENRO personnel tasked to perform SWM;
EMB and PENRO/CENRO personnel need technical skills development to be able
to provide consultancy services for LGUs;
EMB and PENRO/CENRO personnel luck budget and equipment to perform their
tasks related to SWM;
Although Regional Ecology Centers were established in Regions 6,7,8 and 13
with the support of SWM4LGUs their performance depends mainly on EMB and
the funds provided by EMB, whereas the nationwide organization of RECs is not
standardized and financed so far.

SWM4LGUs: Lessons learnt Although RA 9003 was released in 2001, the sector development remains
rather low and most LGUs are far behind the set legal targets in their
implementation schedules. As one key issue, the low cost recovery for
provided SWM services within the most LGUs hinders system improvements
and project implementation. Besides, the available budget is too low in most cases to cover the needed investments. So far, no official guideline is released
which regulates the “least annual budget level” to be provided by LGUs for
SWM. Almost all LGUs continue to treat SWM with lower priority and hence
delay the needed budget negotiations.
Related to landfill establishment various legal gaps delay project development and especially DAOs and technical guidelines are lacking to more efficiently
support LGU processes such as for waste segregation, site selection, landfill
construction, operation, monitoring and rehabilitation.
Many LGUs still do not have an SWM expert or SWM office and lack technical
skills. The institutional capacity of EMB to efficiently supervise, regulate, monitor and advise LGUs in SWM remains insufficient. Last not least, the
involvement of the private sector to assist LGUs in SWM but also of
universities to educate professionals who could perform SWM functions in the
future remains too low.
