China, People's Republic of : Capacity Building for ICT-Based Industrial Waste Management
The TA will help the government enhance its institutional capacity for industrial waste management, and improve its management information system and monitoring mechanisms using information technology. The TA is consistent with the focus of ADB's country partnership strategy, 2008 2010 for the PRC; and ADB's Strategy 2020, which supports environmental protection and capacity development to reinforce inclusive growth.
The TA will (i) review the current national framework of the industrial waste management information system, (ii) assess its comprehensiveness in meeting the needs of existing
regulatory requirements, (iii) improve the institutional capacity for managing the system, and (iv) make recommendations for strengthening the institutional capacity and improvement of the information system.

| Description | The TA will help the government enhance its institutional capacity for industrial waste management, and improve its management information system and monitoring mechanisms using information technology. The TA is consistent with the focus of ADB's country partnership strategy, 2008 2010 for the PRC; and ADB's Strategy 2020, which supports environmental protection and capacity development to reinforce inclusive growth.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | During the 2009 country programming mission for the People's Republic of China (PRC), the government requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide capacity development technical assistance (TA) for capacity building for information and communication technology (ICT)-based industrial waste management. Aside from water and air pollution control, industrial waste management, particularly hazardous waste management, has become an emerging challenge in the PRC. Without proper management of industrial waste, it could undermine the PRC's achievements of decades of economic growth, and affect people's health and welfare, and environmental quality. The Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) is responsible for establishing policies and regulations on industrial waste management, and monitoring enforcement of the regulations by provincial and municipal governments. The government prepared a national project in 2008 to construct solid waste management centers at the MEP and in 31 provinces, and a national information system on solid waste management. The MEP faced several major challenges during the establishment of the national information system, including (i) the availability of qualified staff to supervise and administer industrial waste management; (ii) an ineffective manifest system for monitoring the generation, transportation, and final disposal of industrial waste as a result of the lengthy paperwork and difficulty in keeping track of records;6 (iii) weak institutional capacity for contingency planning and emergency responses to control and contain accidents caused by mishandling of hazardous waste; and (iv) an outdated information system that does not meet the current and medium-term needs for industrial waste management. The government requested ADB to provide TA to help the MEP to (i) review the framework of its national information system, and make recommendations for its improvement and expansion to meet the needs for industrial waste management for the following 5 10 years; (ii) improve the institutional capacity for industrial waste management, including management of the information system, data collection and analysis, information sharing and uses, and reporting; and (iii) prepare guidelines on the establishment and management of the industrial waste management information system. |

| Business Opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Consulting Services | Three Individual consultants were recruited to provide a total of 25 person-months of consulting services, comprising an international expert for 5 person-months and two national experts for 20 person-months in April 2011. The consultants were engaged by the executing agency (EA) following the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2010, as amended from time to time). |
| Procurement | The EDC procures equipment financed by the TA following ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2010, as amended from time to time). The equipment procured under the TA will be turned over to the executing agency and the two municipal EPBs after the TA completion. |
