This project will establish a sustainable and environmental sound management and destruction systems in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Apart from improving recovery, collection, management, testing of old ODS and HFC refrigerants, equipping training and waste management centres, capacity building activities for trainers, technicians and waste management personnel will be conducted.

National/regional destruction facilities will be established and current banks and collected refrigerants under the project will be destroyed. The achieved mitigation will be accounted under the future round of NDCs of the respective countries. This project will lead to a sustainable financing mechanism that will truly benefit the four developing countries and can be replicated and scaled up in other developing countries.

Expected Outcomes

• The Governments of Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe set up and operationalize at least one fluorocarbon destruction facility their country by the end of the project or soon after.
• The Governments of Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe have increased capacity to develop and operationalize a system for collection, storage and transportation of unwanted fluorocarbons by the end of the project.
• The cement kiln industry, collectors, transporters, and servicing technicians of Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe have increased awareness and capacity on developing and operationalizing a system for collection, storage and transportation of unwanted fluorocarbons by the end of the project.
• Public-Private Partnerships in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe are developed and the four countries adopt a business model for the end of life management of fluorocarbons that is replicable by the end of the project.
• Other Article 5 countries replicate the business model based on the experience of Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
