Project metrics

Outcome 1:

Achieving environmentally sound healthcare waste management

Outputs:

BAT/BEP healthcare waste management practice and technology implemented nationally

Indicators:

Indicator 1: Number of new partnership mechanisms with funding for sustainable management solutions of natural resources, ecosystem services, chemicals and waste at national and/or subnational level.
Indicator 2 Extent to which legal or policy or institutional frameworks are in place for conservation, sustainable use, and access and benefit sharing of natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystems.
Indicator 3. Amount of POPs, U-POPs and mercury uses and release avoided at project implementation and predicted at replication
Indicator 4. Evidence that gender mainstreaming and equal opportunities have been ensured for job opportunities and access to knowledge and training
Indicator 10: ESM Manual is developed based on updated medical waste regulationIndicator 11: number of relevant staff trained on best environmental practices.
Indicator 12: number of HCF successfully implementing the ESM of health care waste.
Indicator 13: number of high capacity incineration or co-incineration successfully certified for the disposal of hazardous waste and POPs containing waste.
Indicator 14: Amount of U-POP release prevented through enhanced management of healthcare waste.
Indicator 15: Level of awareness achieved through project implementation on Hazardous Waste and Municipal Solid Waste, measured by means of KAP (Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices) surveys at baseline and project end.
Indicator 16: 100 Generator of hazardous waste trained on the minimisation and ESM of waste potentially contaminated by POPs.
Indicator 17: 300 ton of E-waste stored at Swaqa and other POPs waste inventoried, labelled and safeguarded for future disposal in coordination with bilateral initiatives.
Indicator 18: Amount of U-POP release prevented through diversion of municipal waste, through recycling and RDF in certified facilities.
Indicator 19: Number and quality of project monitoring and planning reports drafted and submitted with reference to the M&E plan.
Indicator 20: Number and quality of project audit and evaluation reports drafted and submitted with reference to the M&E plan.
Indicator 21: Presence of a knowledge management system established and sustained
Outcome 2:

Developing waste diversion/resource recovery capacity for GHG and U-POPs reduction

Outputs:

Effective waste diversion/resource recovery capacity from HW and SW streams developed with associated GHG and U-POPs release reduction achieved
Outcome 3:

Knowledge Management and M&E
