Description
Designing Business Models for Centralized Clinical Waste Treatment Facilities  in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is a Party to the Stockholm and Minamata Conventions and therefore has international legal obligations to control, reduce, and eliminate the use of substances regulated under these conventions. Sri Lanka’s chemical sector continues to expand rapidly, with a focus on importing and blending chemicals for agricultural, industrial, and laboratory applications. In this context, the Ministry of Environment (MoE), in partnership with UNDP Sri Lanka and in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), and Ministry of Education (MoEdu), is implementing a Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded project titled Integrated Management and Environmentally Sound Disposal of POPs Pesticides in the Agriculture Sector and Mercury and Waste in the Healthcare Sector in Sri Lanka. The project aims to strengthen the regulatory framework for chemicals and waste management, enhance national institutional and technical capacities in agricultural chemicals and mercury management, and support the transformation of healthcare waste management systems in Sri Lanka. 
 
A key component of the project is the establishment of two Centralized Clinical Waste Treatment Facilities (CCWTFs) to serve healthcare facilities in two selected provinces: The proposed CCWTFs are planned to be established at the Sundarapola Solid Waste Management Centre (Northwestern Province-NWP) and at the Karadiyanaru Divisional Hospital & Koduwamadu Solid Waste Management Centre (Eastern Province-EP). These facilities will receive, treat, and safely dispose of clinical waste from healthcare facilities within respective provinces.  


  Objective;

The overall objective of this consultancy is to validate and update the existing feasibility studies for the proposed CCWTFs, and to design bankable Public–Private Partnership (PPP) models and business frameworks that enable their sustainable development, financing, and operation. In addition, the assignment will develop site‑specific conceptual and preliminary engineering designs to support procurement and implementation readiness.
