Description
This training course provides participants with beginner exposure to the world of regulatory development in the area of e-waste management. It brings together key learning materials and resources based on underpinning circular economy principles and the environmental policy approach of extended producer responsibility (EPR). It too addresses the legal, financial and administrative components of well-functioning e-waste management systems. This training is made possible through the generous support of the United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), under the FCDO Digital Access Programme.
The training course is a beginner-level course designed for government officials, policymakers, civil society players and relevant academics working and researching in the areas of e-waste policy and regulation and circular economy. Particular attention is paid to the topic of policymaking and the setting of regulations. The maximum number of participants for this training course is limited to 45 people.
This course is open to participants that fulfil the following requirements:
- Participants must be working on a topic related to circular economy, e-waste or sustainable digital transformation.
- Employees in other public and private as well as non-governmental entities working in the fields of circular economy, e-waste or sustainable digital transformation may also participate.
- Gender balance will be observed.
Upon completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Apply the key terms and principles necessary to take policy issues related to e-waste forward in their respective organizations.
- Describe the role that the circular economy may play in shaping economy and society, in relation to the electronics sector.
- Outline the global e-waste challenge, in the context of its management and the regulation of this special waste stream.
- Navigate the technicalities of EPR and the increasingly prominent role it plays in e-waste management and policymaking.
- Explore sustainable financing under the EPR mechanism for e-waste management that can be set in stone through regulations.
- List the instruments and elements that need to be defined when building an effective and economically viable EPR system for the electronics sector.
- Plan out the steps required for the e-waste policy and regulation drafting process and the implementation and monitoring phases.
Training participants will be requested to familiarize themselves with the below prerequisite materials, which serve as an essential knowledge foundation which the in-person training course materials build on and refer to extensively. This includes during the training for key elements such as the homework assignments, where the below materials will serve as a reference point. Participants are requested to take the following two self-paced e-learnings prior to the training:
- An Introduction to E-waste Policy.
- Deep Dive into the Extended Producer Responsibility Principle for E-waste Management.
Reading materials in preparation for the course and for reference as light-reading homework:
- .
- [2nd Ed. to be added upon release in early September].
The face-to-face training course takes place in Jakarta, Indonesia and offers the following activities:
- Lectures, presentations and mandatory readings.
- Interactive discussions and group activities.
- Country case studies.
- One end-of-day quiz.
Final group assessment activity.
Participants will be required to take part in all the activities of the training course. At the end, participants will receive an ITU certificate of completion. To obtain the certificate of completion, participants will be required to actively participate in 100% of the activities and to have passed the End-of-Day Quiz on day one and the Final Assessment Activity, with a minimum overall pass grade of 70%, on day two. A sign-in sheet will be present for daily registration to track participation. The Final Assessment Activity will involve the formation of small groups to produce an assessed poster presentation that depicts an ideal e-waste management system and policy priorities for a fictional country in line with pre-set characteristics for each country. Each group will be asked to present their poster at the end of the training course.
