Request for Proposals of consulting services - Tender Ref 62.21
GOAL AND OBJECTIVES: The study aims to explore the implications (especially in terms of emerging risks to socio-economic inclusivity) of changing contexts of policy and applied practice of municipal waste management in Viet Nam for the informal sector in Long An province, and determine risk management strategies.
Based upon and grounded in the key tenets of WWF’s Environmental and Social Safeguards Framework (ESSF), the study will achieve these specific objectives:

- Provide in-depth analysis of socio-economic implications of changing contexts of municipal waste management policies and practices in Viet Nam for the informal sector in Long An. The changes comprise EPR and waste segregation at source, which are mandated by the LEP 2020 and will be coming into effect in early 2021, as well as the recent implementation of projects in Long An, piloting waste sorting at household level and separate collection of different waste types.
- Identify socio-economic risks for informal waste workers and facilities
- Assess efforts for social inclusion within the policy framework and planned practices
