COUNTRY SYNOPSIS

KENYA

• Capital – Nairobi

• Population - 45 million

• Access to Electricity - 23 %

• Wood fuel and biomass dependent - 68%

Problem : Nairobi

Tires Countrywide : 2 million tires (50,000 tons) Nairobi: 30,000 tons are burnt for scrap metal

Plastic Nairobi: 172,000 tons end up in dumpsites Nairobi population: 4 million

Dandora dumpsite : Nairobi

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

1. First entrant into the Kenyan market and

friendly environment

2. Triple bottom line benefits

3. Project location

4. Government support on electricity

generation

1. Lack of experienced technical

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS

1. Government is encouraging IPPs to add

5GW to the grid by 2017

2. Guaranteed market for the electricity

produced

3. Local employment creation

4. Change the way society views waste

5. Scaling up in Nairobi and other cities

1. No sustainable supply of feed stock as it

is dependent on the informal sector

SWOT analysis

Scrap metal from tire burning

Logical framework Activities

Acquiring all relevant licenses

Plant equipment and site set up

Getting the Power Purchase Agreement

Seting up agents that will be stationed at strategic collection points in high catchment areas

Outputs Production of 7.8 MW of electricity that is based on similar project in other countries outside of Kenya

To increase the income of over 1000 collectors

Reduce green-house-gas (GHG) emissions

Logical framework

PurposeProduction of extra electricity by 2018 using clean technology that uses non-biodegradable waste, in particular worn out tires and used plastic bottles

Job creation within the community

To improve the well-being of the surrounding communities near dump sites

Theory of change. Changing the way society perceives waste, from a menace to an asset

Goals Implementation of clean technologies for production of electricity from non-biodegradable waste in Kenya

Confronting corruption Areas prone to corruption

• Syndicates, licensing, drafting contract and permits

• Cartels, embezzlement and security of assets

Tools to tackle corruption

• Cooperation with local and international watchdogs

• Promoting whistle blowing

• Implementing good codes of conduct

Step 1 :

Proof of concept

$150k - $250k

Step 2 :

Pilot

$1,5 - $2 million

Step 3 :

Expansion

> $15 million
