Technical Project Coordinator for the TIC project W/M

In October 2024, OCP submitted a TIC proposal titled “Development of an integrated approach for non-medical hazardous waste management in countries with limited treatment options - Intersectional pilot project in South-Sudan”.

The proposal includes waste quantity evaluation, proper segregation and safe storage at project level, precautionary measures before transportation, safe transportation from the project to capital, treatment of the fractions treatable in capital, and administrative procedure of export to a country where the remaining waste can be properly recycled or destroyed.

This project also integrates the piloting of R&D solutions to reduce waste quantities and to test new treatment solutions internally, in order to reduce the quantities of waste to export.

Waste included in the scope of the project is all the hazardous non-medical waste (E-waste, batteries of all kinds, motorized fleet waste and chemical containing waste from logistic activities).

The project is structured in 3 phases (6 + 12 + 6 months) for a total duration of two years. The first phase consists in a feasibility study and a go/no-go decision for the rest of the project.

The technical project coordinator is responsible for the operational management, monitoring and reporting of the project(s). He/she standardises administrative processes and provides support on all aspects of project management by optimising the management of activities from a relational, organisational and administrative point of view.

Main Responsibilities

1. Phase 1: feasibility study:

· Develop a stakeholders mapping and finalize definition of responsibilities at field level.

· Oversee the inventory and segregation of waste covered by the project, for each MSF projects.

· Identify with supply referents and technical referents, supply criteria and alternative to reduce the amount of waste generated in the future.

· Identify relevant authorities involved in waste export, evaluate feasibility and define the process to follow.

· Initiate discussions with exporters, select transport route and destination. 

· Update the budget for phase 2 with precise quotation for transport to Juba, for export and for the improvement of the interim storage in capital.

· Define clear SOPs for the next steps. 

Phase 1 will be reviewed by the TIC committee to proceed with validation for the second phase.

2. Phase 2: Implementation

· Improvement of the interim storage in capital and recommendations to improve interim storages in relevant projects.

· Volume reduction before export: identification and validation of local recyclers and tests of technical solutions to decrease the quantities of waste to export.

· Gathering of the waste in Juba to prepare the exportation (transport from project to Juba).

· Engage with the relevant authorities and monitor the exportation process led by the sub-contractors.

· Obtention and archiving of all administrative documents required.

3. Phase 3: Capitalization

· Definition of Country Waste Management Plan in South-Sudan.

· Evaluate all elements (structure, HR, budget, etc.) needed to routinely treat the hazardous wastes from MSF’s activities in South-Sudan.

· Return of experience report with time and cost involved, successes and difficulties, feasibility of duplication in other missions.

· SOP adaptation to pilot’s capitalization report (RETEX) and to include different contexts, to facilitate duplication in other missions.
