Overall, the proposed action will achieve the following key results:
-
A waste management mechanism is established for treatment,
re-use and recycling of tsunami generated debris.
-
New and appropriate ESTs for debris management, particularly reuse/recycle technologies,
are successfully applied and utilized in Banda Aceh in handling tsunami-generated debris.
This can be seen by an increase in the amount of debris handled by using the new ESTs.
-
The capacity of local government officials to handle debris and processing,
technology assessment methodologies, reuse/recycling and related issues, is enhanced.
This will ensure sustained application of ESTs in waste management not only in the post-tsunami programmes,
but for everyday municipal wastes and future disasters as well.
This will see an increasing number of local government officials who understand the issues related
to technology assessment methodologies and reuse/recycling.
-
A number of economic instruments to foster for long-term viability of ESTs are established,
which includes the development of appropriate tax structures and subsidies to promote the use of
aggregates generated from the waste processing.
-
There will be improved communications, knowledge sharing and technical competence in handling ESTs
by the other affected countries in Asia. This will be facilitated by use of the ESTIS tool,
developed by UNEP.
This will also be enhanced by sharing that will take place in regional meetings
and workshops organized among the tsunami affected countries.
