It is also a member of INJAZ Al-Arab, a regional network of 14 countries across the MENA region. INJAZ Lebanon delivers programs in partnership with the business sector, focusing on entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy. Background INJAZ Lebanon, under the GIZ-MAKKEN project, is supporting the development and improvement of a waste management facility located in Minyara Municipality. The facility is currently operational and is engaged in the collection and processing of recyclable materials, including plastic, paper, and cardboard. The facility currently has basic processing machinery, including a plastic compactor and a paper/cardboard shredder. As part of the planned support to the facility, INJAZ Lebanon intends to procure additional machinery and equipment, a small pickup vehicle to support collection activities, and a generator to support the operation of the machinery. The municipality will also undertake certain facility-related works, including internal painting of the warehouse and repair of the external warehouse door. Prior to proceeding with the procurement of the additional machinery and related equipment, INJAZ Lebanon intends to engage a qualified technical consultant to assess the current operation and technical condition of the facility and provide practical recommendations regarding the required machinery, equipment, electrical capacity, generator requirements, facility layout, operational workflow, and health, safety and fire protection measures. The consultancy is therefore intended to ensure that the planned procurement is technically appropriate, compatible with the existing facility and machinery, aligned with the actual operational needs of the facility, and supported by a clear and practical technical assessment. Objective of the Consultancy The main objective of the consultancy is to conduct a comprehensive technical and operational assessment of the existing waste facility in Minyara Municipality and provide recommendations that will guide the procurement and installation of additional machinery and equipment. The consultant will assess the existing collection and processing model, current machinery and workflow, facility infrastructure, electrical capacity, safety conditions, and operational requirements, and will recommend the appropriate machinery, equipment, generator capacity, layout, and technical improvements required for the facility. The consultancy should provide INJAZ Lebanon with a clear technical basis for preparing the specifications and procurement of the planned machinery, pickup vehicle, generator, and related equipment. Specific Objectives The consultancy will aim to: Understand and document the facilitys current operational and collection model. Assess the types and flow of recyclable materials currently collected and processed. Review the existing machinery, equipment, and their current use and capacity.
