Goal of the study
The goal of the study is to find solutions for preventing or minimising e-waste dumping in African countries as well as mitigating current impacts.
Specific objectives
To assess and document the reality of e-waste dumping in Ghana and Kenya, including contamination from hazardous chemicals in the waste stream and the impacts on people and communities interacting with the e-waste.
To document and promote creative solutions of ordinary people that address e-waste management, including major challenges in this landscape.
To generate and disseminate evidence and knowledge that aids in raising awareness about the health impacts of e-waste.
To come up with recommendations for challenging the current developmental model that is based on a colonial mindset which continues to disadvantage Africa by destroying the environment and worsening inequalities through dumping of e- waste in African countries.
Deliverables
A project Inception Report that clearly outlines the study methodology to be deployed, sample size, and proposed work-plan, among other things.
A detailed Draft Report of the findings with recommendations for GPAF to take the work on e-waste dumping forward. We envisage a report of approximately 20-25 pages, on the basis of which Greenpeace Africa intends to influence policy makers, drive conversations with local partners and influence media discourse.
Final Report that consolidates comments made on the Draft Report.
Power-Point presentation to Greenpeace Africa on an agreed date.
Interested researchers should send to us their Cover Letter, detailed CV, and a brief technical and financial proposal (maximum 5 pages) that outlines the proposed methodology, workplan, and budget. Proposals should be submitted by email to: cchikhoz@greenpeace.org and dlugada@greenpeace.org Deadline for applications: 7 March 2025.
