BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
E-waste constitutes one of the fastest growing waste streams globally.
In 2022, it was estimated that around 5.3 billion people were connected to the Internet and the number of mobile phone subscriptions is currently greater than the human population.
Annually, an estimated 53.6 million metric tonnes of e-waste are generated containing USD 57 billion worth of precious and valuable materials, in terms of their economic value.
In line with Resolution 66, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) carries out a number of activities related to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), or "e-waste" and in the areas of climate change and green digital transformation.
As part of ITU's work in the area of e-waste, the Telecommunication Development Bureau needs a dedicated consultant to prepare a recommendations report for the Government of Mongolia under the project: ''Creating a Circular Economy for Electronics and Electricals in Thailand and in Mongolia''.
It is expected that the recommendations report will support the Government of Mongolia in its policymaking in response to the growing amounts of e-waste being generated nationally.
The report will comprise a clear analysis of the current status of the regulatory framework for e-waste management, hazardous wastes and similar waste streams in order to identify entry points for specific law on e-waste.
The report will be developed through a review of the existing legal framework for e-waste management in Mongolia, with a focus on solid waste and environmental laws, ICT laws, hazardous waste laws and any related legal or policy instruments, including EPR-related legal instruments and legalities associated with importation, tax and business operation and licensing.
It will provide clear proposals, with maximum 3 options, based on stakeholders' consultation and a participatory approach of key players during its preparation-
