Purpose of the RFP 

HCLFoundation invites proposals from organizations that have been working in the domain of solid and liquid waste management, preferably experienced with communication and behaviour change campaigns, engaging citizens. This project will focus on underscoring the importance of citizen engagement as an integral component of Solid & Liquid Waste Management, that can help transform neighbourhoods in Noida and Greater Noida into clean hotspots.

Background

With increasing population and urbanization, there has been a tremendous rise in the generation of municipal solid waste in India.

Consumers are the ultimate waste generators. Thus, engaging them in waste management drives can lead to more responsible consumption, waste segregation and collection schemes, resulting in increased reuse and recycling of products.

Geography

The project will be carried out with citizens residing in RWAs and Highrises in Noida and Greater Noida. The geography will span across 60 sectors (30 in Noida and 30 in Greater Noida), clubbed into 6 clusters (each cluster housing 10 sectors).

Objectives of the RFP

This RFP seeks a strategic partner who can carry out a holistic project on-ground, involving the citizens of Noida and Greater Noida through various innovative engagements.  Engagements can be in the form of events/workshops/awareness drives but should have a high degree of creative quotient in them.

Project Deliverables

1. Conduct end to end activities on ground including mobilization and liaising with the concerned bodies.
2. Prepare and submit a detailed work execution plan including a GANTT chart and a Log frame that structures the details of project objectives, activities being undertaken to achieve those objectives, expected outputs and outcome, impact to be generated and indicators to measure those impacts.
3. Ensure proper monitoring and supervision system in place to enable smooth implementation of the project.
4. Ensure a high degree of creativity and innovation in the activities. Routine citizen engagement activities should preferably be avoided.
5. Monthly reporting of data in given format by HCLFoundation team
6. Final closure report containing the above-mentioned scopes, along with providing effective evidential proofs and outcomes through efficient and effective process.
7. Additional documents like photographs, videos, case studies as needed by HCLFoundation.
