V. Project budget

I. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

This section should provide a brief introduction to the current social and economic situation
related to the geographic region and beneficiaries of the project. The background should also
describe:

a. The problem or critical issue which the proposal seeks to resolve

b. How the proposal relates to other relevant national development strategies and policies
c. Whether there are other programmes and activities which will complement the proposal
d. How the need for the project was determined
e. How intended beneficiaries were involved in project identification and planning
f. What kind of assistance the concerned Governmental offices will provide
g. What kind of resources the Implementing Agency and other non-governmental
organizations will provide.

If a non-governmental organization has prepared the proposal, it is important to describe how

concerned Governmental officials were made aware of and/or were involved in project
formulation.

Finally, the section should describe the relevant experience and capabilities of the project
Implementing Agent, and the type and level of resources that the Implementing Agent will
provide for project planning, implementation management and follow up.
II. OBJECTIVES

The latest statistics shows that the average solid waste per resident in Malaysia is 250 kg per
year. From that amount, only 2% is recycled whereas the remainder is buried in landfills or
dumped illegally.

The Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing (Act 672) which came into force on 1st
September 2011 is Governments effort to provide a systematic, coordinated, effective and
efficient solid waste management system in Malaysia.

The objective of this proposal is to provide a better solid waste management in the state of
Malacca in order to reduce improper waste in dumping site. The Solid Waste Management
project strives for maximum waste recovery through composting, recycling, and reuse, and aims
at zero waste to be disposed onto dump-yards and landfills. The long term objective is thus to
reduce the environmental degradation caused by solid waste.

A properly run decentralised SWM project will contribute to a cleaner local environment,
maintaining pure surface and ground water, healthy soils, and clean air. Noteworthy, a clean local
environment will immediately benefit the most vulnerable groups of society whose livelihoods
often depend on the natural resources available locally.
III. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Expected project results

By using composting methods to manage the biodegradable waste, we are able to:

Minimise waste that needs to be disposed in centralised landfills, thus extending existing
landfill capacity;
Reduce the environmental impact of disposal sites as the bio-degradable waste fraction
largely is to blame for the polluting leachate and the methane problems;
Benefit the soil by using organic compost instead of chemical fertilisers.

B. Project activities and work plan

Phasing out open dumping in favour of sanitary landfills and banning of open burning of
solid wastes. Non-segregation of wastes is made illegal.
Phasing out of non-recyclable consumer packaging materials and non-biodegradable
packaging materials such as plastic bags, Styrofoam, and aluminium foil.
Mandates the establishment of recycling centres at every barangay nationwide.
Calls for the integration of solid waste management concerns in the school curriculum
starting in the elementary level.
Requires the preparation of 10-years solid waste management plans by all local
government units.
Use waste minimisation hierarchy as the benchmark in reducing the improper dumping
waste.

C. Project Beneficiaries

Preventing disposal of recyclable materials.

Reducing the amount of solid waste sent to landfills.
Reducing the countrys allocation for solid waste disposal
Satisfy an offence under the The Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act
2007 (Act 672) to not separate solid waste
Lower quantities of criteria air pollutants
 Removing waste from public areas helps reduce risks to overall health, decreases
exposure to biohazards and reduces infestation of pest.
Utilizing the energy from incinerators to generates electricity from carbon dioxide
emission

D. Implementing agent management of project

Employees
A SWM project must hence be understood in this informal yet organised setting. In order
not to bypass these individuals, they will be prioritised in the employment process and
offered continuous employment in the projects.
The projects will employ 15 people, among whom 50 percent will come from Self Help
Groups (SHGs). Our aim is here to particularly engage and employ women, and
especially women from socially and economically marginalised groups, as well as
widows, deserted women, women living with disabilities, and other disadvantaged
women.
The Public
It is vital that the public i.e. ordinary citizens as well as private and public institutions
whose waste is managed and whose environment is improved, is actively involved in the
project. An important step to motivate and engage the public is via continuous public
awareness campaigns based on an Information, Education, and Communication (IEC)
strategy.
Volunteers
Motivated individuals such as headmasters, doctors, religious leaders, and etcetera, from
the concerned communities will be engaged as volunteers and help convey the message
to the public as well as function as role-model citizens.
NGOs, CBOs, and Local Associations
` Local nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), community based organisations (CBOs),
and associations such as Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and Womens
Associations will be offered training in SWM.
Private Corporations
We will seek the partnership of local and foreign companies for financial contributions as
well as donations of machineries for scientific recycling of inorganic wastes. Private
corporations will also be able to sponsor the project and receive marketing in return.

IV. PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION

V. BUDGET

The budget for the Solid Waste Management in the state of Malacca should be prepared in
Ringgit Malaysia. An additional budget should be prepared to describe the budget components to
be financed by Government, Project Implementing Agent and other parties participating in the
project. A so-called community waste fund will be set up where the household fees (RM 30.00
per household per month) will be amassed.

A description of the budget line items (with internal classification codes) are:

Project Personnel:

The resources of the Voluntary Fund can finance project personnel specialized needed to plan
and carry out the project or specialized consultant services required to accomplish a specific
project objective. Salaries and consultancy fees should be reflective of local prevailing
conditions.
This covers international experts, consultants, administrative support, and official travel. The
amount of this items are estimated to be RM 200,000.

Subcontracts:

This component pertains to specialized services provided the project by an outside contractor.
Each subcontract will require a separate budget line; subcontractor terms of reference should be
attached as an annex to the project document. The amount of this items are estimated to be RM
250,000.

Equipment:

For the equipment, items such as expendable equipment, non-expendable equipment and
premises will be cover in this section. The amount of this items are estimated to be RM 350,000.

Miscellaneous:

Miscellaneous budget will be cover elements such as:

 Operation, Maintenance and Repair of Equipment: operation and maintenance of project
equipment that cannot be covered by the Host Government or the project Implementing
Agent.
Publications and Report Costs: report costs, which may include the reproduction of a
reasonable number of copies of project technical and final reports.
Sundry and Communications: official postage, communications and incidental supplies.

The amount estimated for the miscellaneous is RM 200,000.
