PwP is being implemented by iDE under the Danida Market Development Partnerships program (DMDP) with support from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It operates across three districts in Da Nang, Vietnam with the following four outcomes:
Increasing livelihood opportunities in plastic waste management

* Suggested Activities
The below-mentioned list is not limited and the Consultant may submit a proposal with additional methodology in line with industry standards.
• Behavior change at the household level. Review the recently completed household level market insight study that seeks to understand how households collect, sort plastics and how the model interfaces with informal waste workers (IWW) and the informal value chain. Determine if the interventions and recommendations presented in the report are practical and feasible for the project to implement. Provide insights and recommendation on the implementation plan and suggest, if any, corrective measures or recommendations.
• Market intermediaries and their business model. The project has been working closely with its consortia partners as well as Ever Green Labs (EGL), a consulting firm to develop business model for market intermediaries that provide vital functions in the value chain, e.g., sorting, aggregation, storage, processing of plastic waste. Review the project’s results till date in piloting of these business models (and new proposed ones such as the “master aggregator” model); analyze its possible efficacy against project’s stated outcomes and provide a critical review with recommendations on the areas of improvement for 2022 and 2023.
• Improving incomes of informal waste workers (IWWs). Review the integration strategies developed by the project in partnership with the consortia that seeks to provide improved livelihoods outcome for IWWs through project interventions. Provide insights, recommendations and assist in improving the activities planned by the project, with special emphasis on aligning capacity building and market linkage activities of the project and its anticipate result of improving income of IWWs.
• Unpack theory of change. Determine if the broad outcomes and results of the project can be realistically met by the end of the project. If the current outcomes and results can’t be achieved, develop revised outcomes and results that are likely to be achieved by the end of the project and a rationale for the change that can be communicated to the project consortia as well as the investors and donors.
• Collaborate with Oceanwork on accelerating their pilot Track and Trace model. One of the most interesting results in 2022 has been the recent pre-piloting of OW’s Track and Trace model in the project sites. It is important for the project not to lose momentum in this and continue to understand the types and kinds of strategic support the project is required to provide to OW for this to be successful. As such, review the progress till date, engage with OW’s key counterparts and assist the project team to develop a plan to support this initiative that is agreed to by OW.
