Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

Executive Summary
With the support of UNDP, the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) has been implementing a project,
entitled “Local Economic Development” (LED) in 7 municipalities of 4 Big Regions (Oromiya ,
Amhara, SNNPR and Tigray). These 7 municipalities are as follows: Oromiya : Asella and
Nekemte; Amhara: Bahir Dar; SNNPR: Awassa and Sodo; and Tigray: Mekele and Adigrat. The
main objective of the project is to enhance the capacities of Regions and Woredas to promote pro-
poor economic growth and sustainable livelihoods, through investments, employment creation
and targeted economic interventions. The project has 2 main intervention areas to achieve the
objectives, these are: (1) local capacity development for creating enabling environment; and (2)
creating jobs opportunities. The project, which is being implemented since June 2009, has already
made several achievements, such as developing LED strategies of the Regions and localities;
setting up an inclusive microfinance system, providing employment opportunities to over 5,000
unemployed youth and women, providing job-related skills development training to over 3,000
youth, construction of infrastructure (road and sewage system), and others. In line with the GTP
(5 year National Development Plan), the project has been supporting the local governments for
pro-poor growth and economic development at local levels, by creating enabling environment and
promoting jobs creation.

In view of the above background, participatory assessment of the locality’s LED potential was
conducted and a five year LED strategy and viable interventions were developed for harnessing
the potentials. In this regard, six micro viable projects, which are geared towards improving the
income and employability of vulnerable youth and women groups, were identified for the year
2010 based on results of a pre-feasibility study conducted by the LED team for Nekemte. In fact,
Integrated Waste Disposal and Management Project is one of the viable projects that are identified
and endorsed by the LED stakeholders in Nekemte.

Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is mainly focus on collection and disposal of dry and
fluid waste, cleaning services, recycling, and creating awareness on biodegradable materials, use of
biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and gardening and the like and will mainly use the
use the doo-to-door selling, word of mouth, as well as local newspapers to communicate with its
clients.

Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is owned by about 320 (110 males and 210 females)
people from different parts of the society that will be organized in association so as to pledge their
time, labor, and financial resource so as to create jobs for themselves. These people will operate the
business and that relevant training will be given to the members about provision and management
of the waste disposal services as well the training of the ways of handling customers, and courses
on business management like record keeping, and marketing will be provided. It is expected that
Integrated Waste Disposal and Management will start its operation in the year 2010/2011.

The business investment is financially viable with an internal rate of return of 19.6835%, net
present value of birr 317,695.72 discounted at 15%, benefit/cost ratio of 1.118, and payback period
of three years and five months. These financial analysis criterions, all confirms the feasibility of the
business investment and their results indicate a promising investment opportunity. Further, the
investment sensitivity analysis, conducted under various conditions, results confirm that the
business investment is attractive to undertake.

Similarly, if we looked at the forecasted income statement, the Integrated Waste Disposal and
Management investment will generate a total sales of birr 2,169,675 in the year 2010/2011 and birr
3,176,621 in the year 2015, indicating a more than 45% increase in the sales in the operating period
of the business and ensuring that the business start generating profit in the first year of operation.
Important ratios such as profit margin (net profit to total sales), net profit to equity (return on
equity), and net profit to total assets or investment (return on total investment) show an increasing
trend during the life-time of the project. In general, the Forecasted Income Statement and the other
indicators of profitability show that the investment is viable.

As an economic benefit the investment can create employment for 320 Ethiopian in the year
2010/2011 and the job opportunities for our citizens and will increase in the successive years. In
addition to supply of the domestic needs, the investment will generate birr 1,316,794 in terms of tax
revenue to the government. Lastly, by enhancing the potential to increase productivity and,
managing or minimizing the various costs such as material cost, labor cost, fuel expense, and
others, the business will implement its investment profitably.

1. Description of the Business


Economic empowerment of local peoples is both the means and an end of people-centered
development initiatives. In the framework of pro-poor Local Economic Development, capitalizing
on locally available resources is a key to reduce poverty and unemployment as well as enhancing
the revenue of local governments.

Meanwhile, Nekemte City Administration is one of the localities in Oromiya that is endowed with
huge but untapped potentials. Its natural resource base, accessibility to market, better infrastructure
and service, human resource as well as existence of institutions are among the most prominent
potentials for generating growth and creating gainful employment to the residents. Moreover, the
growth and development of Nekemte is believed to stimulate the rapid transformation of
surrounding rural communities. Nevertheless, a significant proportion (35 to 40%) of the residents
is below poverty line of birr 1,075 for Ethiopia. Women headed households in Nekemte, estimated
to reach 40% of the households, are mostly suffering from poverty. Moreover, out of the total
46,426 people that are economically active, 8,706 or 19% are found to be registered job seekers.
The situation of unemployment is so rampant when considering the growing number of unskilled
and unregistered youth groups in the locality.

Furthermore, HIV/AIDS, disability and poor support to elders are increasingly threatening the
city’s socio-economic development. Finally, revenue base of the city administration has been
undiversified and inadequate to respond to the needs and priorities of the residents. Albeit positive
developments in the local business enabling environment, the level of private investment and Micro
and Small Enterprises development has been far below expectation. Support provided to Micro and
Small Enterprises has been very limited and women’s involvement in the enterprises has been
marginal. Besides, the number of youth, women, elders and other groups looking for support,
mainly.

The combined effect of these problems has been perpetuating the problems of poverty,
unemployment and weak capacity to finance public expenditures. In addition, the vulnerability
situation is adding to social problems that include crime/deviance, beggary, prostitution etc.

In a nutshell, Nekemte town is not currently in a position to respond to the needs and priorities of
vulnerable groups by relying on its potentials. Among the leading causes is limited access to

Page 5

finance, business premises, and trainings for skills development. The present undeveloped
partnership and collaboration among Local Economic Development actors is also a bottleneck in
initiating successful Local Economic Development interventions geared towards creating more jobs
and revenue. This Local Economic Development project of Nekemte is, therefore, developed with
due recognition of the gravity of problems of unemployment, abject poverty and welfare among
vulnerable groups viz., youth, women, elders, the disabled and others in the town.

Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is mainly focus on collection and disposal of dry and
fluid waste, cleaning services, recycling, and creating awareness on biodegradable materials, use of
biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and gardening and the like and will mainly use the
use the doo-to-door selling, word of mouth, as well as local newspapers to communicate with its
clients. It has an overall objective of satisfying customers by providing collection and disposal of
dry and fluid waste services, cleaning services, recycling, and creating awareness on biodegradable
materials, use of biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and gardening and the like and
maintains a steady growth in sales volume that will sustain the business for long period.

Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is owned by about 320 (110 males and 210 females)
people from different parts of the society that will be organized in association so as to pledge their
time, labor, and financial resource so as to create jobs for themselves. These people will operate the
business and that relevant training will be given to the members about provision and management
of the waste disposal services as well the training of the ways of handling customers, and courses
on business management like record keeping, and marketing will be provided. It is expected that
Integrated Waste Disposal and Management will start its operation in the year 2010/2011.

The business will operate in Nekemte town, Oromiya Regional State, East Wollega zone. There is
no doubt that Nekemte is grouped among the fast growing cities in western Ethiopia. This growth is
measured in terms of the expansion of investment in different projects including construction of
hotels, educational institutions, business centers and availability of government and NGOs for
different purposes. City expansion is linked to increased waste production, which demands to
design projects that keep the sanitation of the city. Further waste resources could be recycles to use
it for another proposes. It is also known that garbage collection and disposal is labor intensive in
nature that utilizes the existing abundant labor force with high rate of returns. Therefore the project
is expected to create jobs, increase cleanliness of the city and contribute to the increasing

2. Industry Analysis
Nekemte is one of the best naturally endowed town in the country. Assessment results for the 2009
Local Economic Development initiative indicated that the Nekemte town is endowed with fertile
soil, water resources, forest, sufficient precipitation, hotel and resorts, abundant and cheap labor
force, livestock and animal husbandry and above all, it has abundant minerals and raw materials. In
addition, the town is uniquely favorable to open and develop integrated waste disposal and
management industries.

Moreover, The Local Economic Development Strategy of Oromiya confirms the competitive
advantage of Nekemte town and suggested that urban agriculture (such as dairy processing,
integrated waste disposal and management, horticulture, livestock fattening, beautification and
gardening, Coffee and Honey processing), industry and construction as the main areas of
investment, Local Economic Development intervention and sustainable development (Local
Economic Development Strategy of Oromiya , September 2009).

According to Central Statistic Agency, 2007, Nekemte has a total population of above 76,817
(39,167 male 37,650 female). The population of the town is increasing due to rural–urban influx,
that is, people migrate from rural to urban seeking for job opportunity and suitability of the town
for work and living condition. The rapid population growth is a potential market for integrated
waste disposal and management services. This implies that there exists huge market demand for
collection and disposal of dry and fluid waste services, cleaning services, recycling, and creating
awareness on biodegradable materials, use of biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and
gardening and the like in the city. It also creates employment opportunities for a number of youth
and women. Hence, running the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management business shall be
feasible, lucrative and fast income generating.

There are no waste disposal and management businesses in Nekemte town at the current period.
Though the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management will gradually involve in the collection
and disposal of dry and fluid waste services, cleaning services, recycling, and creating awareness
on biodegradable materials, use of biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and gardening
and the like and will operate in Nekemte town; the absence of waste disposal and management
businesses in the town is an opportunity by not having computational effects on the business.

Moreover, by providing collection and disposal of dry and fluid waste services, cleaning services,
recycling, and creating awareness on biodegradable materials, use of biogas, environmental

Page 9

sanitation, beautification and gardening and the like at low costs, satisfying customers, using the
advertizing, and others the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is planning to gain and
maintain the market share and become strong competitor.

3. Production Plan
Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is an important source of income in Ethiopia and is
one of the most suitable interventions to improve the livelihood of the poor. Integrated Waste
Disposal and Management is planning to participate in modern integrated waste disposal and
management system and to achieve a better yield by initially focusing on the provision of collection
and disposal of dry and fluid waste services, cleaning services, recycling, and creating awareness
on biodegradable materials, use of biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and gardening
and the like.

In the year 2010/2011, Integrated Waste Disposal and Management has a plan to provide collection
and disposal of dry and fluid waste services, cleaning services, recycling, and creating awareness
on biodegradable materials, use of biogas, environmental sanitation, beautification and gardening
and the like at various costs as provided in Table 1 below:

4. Marketing Strategy
Given the potential of Nekemte town and its vicinity for waste disposal and that the town is
inhibited by increasing population size; those who are going to engage in this activity will
definitely get market for their services. It is with this premise that this project activity is designed.

Integrated Waste Disposal and Management will mainly use the doo-to-door selling, word of
mouth, and others to communicate with its clients. As well, in the future it will also advertise in the
local newspapers including Capital, Reporter, Fortune, and Addis Zemen. In a given year, the
business has a plan to spend up to birr 2,000 on advertising and promotion and it is planning to
spend more in the future.

of customers and benefit from the large numbers. In comparison with others, the price of the
business will be low and it will charge low prices by minimizing its costs to the minimum yet, the
business is planning to have average prices and compete on quality service in the future.

There is a potential market for Integrated Waste Disposal and Management services in the Nekemte
town and that the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management is targeting municipality, society,
hotels, cafeterias, barbers, shops, garages, wood work and furniture house, and others.

5. Management and Personnel

6.6 Investment Analysis


The investment analysis using the payback period, net present value, internal rate of return, and the
benefit/cost ratio are provided in the parts that follow in order to confirm the feasibility of the
business investment. For the computation of the payback period, net present value, internal rate of

Page 20
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

return, and the benefit/cost ratio, the concept of relevant cash flow or incremental cash flow is
determined, which is central to the investment analysis. Note that, relevant or incremental cash
flow for project evaluation consists of any and all changes in the firm’s future cash flows that are a
direct consequence of taking the project. Considering this definition, the relevant cash flow or
incremental cash flow for the purpose of the computation of the payback period, net present value,
internal rate of return, and the benefit/cost ratio is provided in Table 5 below:

Table 5 Relevant Cash Flow Statement


Years 0 2010/2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
Income Before Tax 213,371 520,501 860,914 1,213,562 1,580,966
Add: Depreciation 440,404 352,323 281,859 225,487 180,389
Less: Income Tax (30%) 64,011 156,150 258,274 364,068 474,290
Capital Spending (2,700,000) 0 0 0 0 351,000
Total Incremental Cash Flow (2,700,000) 589,764 716,674 884,498 1,074,980 1,638,066

Moreover, note that, the business is expected to operate for five years and that the business
assumed a 15% rate of return to evaluate the business investment. Hence, the payback period, net
present value, internal rate of return, and the benefit/cost ratio are calculated using the Forecasted
Cash Flow Statement provided in the prior parts as follows:
1. The payback period was estimated at three years and five months, which is shorter than the
five years that the business will operates, indicating that the business will return its
investments in the shorter period.
2. The net present value at discount factor of 15% was estimated to be a positive value of birr
317,695.72. The birr 317,695.72 net present value is positive; therefore based on the net
present value rule; we should accept the business investment.
3. The internal rate of return reached about 19.6835%. The internal rate of return of 19.6835%
is far greater than the prevailing market rate of return of 15%, again implying that, it is
advisable to undertake the business investment.
4. The benefit/cost ratio at discount factor of 15% was estimated to be 1.118. Since the
benefit/cost ratio of 1.118 is greater than one, we can argue that the business investment is
estimated to provide a positive net return implying that the business investment is attractive
to undertake.

If we looked at the four criterions: the payback period, net present value, internal rate of return, and
the benefit/cost ratio, all confirms the feasibility of the business investment and the results indicate

Page 21
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

a promising investment opportunity, and such business investment could be a great success if well
managed.

Moreover, according to the Forecasted Income Statement, the Integrated Waste Disposal and
Management investment will start generating profit in the first year of operation. Important ratios
such as profit margin (net profit to total sales), net profit to equity (return on equity), and net profit
to total assets or investment (return on total investment) show an increasing trend during the life-
time of the project. In general, the Forecasted Income Statement and the other indicators of
profitability show that the investment is viable.

7. Sensitivity Analysis
Risk and uncertainty are the most common features of business activities. These features make it
difficult to know exactly what will be the services of the Integrated Waste Disposal and
Management, its costs, and returns levels, even in the near future. There are risks and uncertainties
about the services integrated waste disposal and management the business is planning to operate
due to many factors such as unexpected changes in cost of input, input availability and quality,
electric power blackouts, and others.

Moreover, the business may face other risks while striving to achieve its objectives including
frequent price fluctuations of goods and services, low commitment of the targets beneficiaries, high
competitiveness of the surrounding market, willingness and readiness of line departments to give
support, funds from the external sources might have their own conditions which may affect the
implantation of projects, and others. Further, there are associated risks in projects of such types.
Given the current attitude of people towards engaging in waste disposal activities, targeting and
convincing people to exert their maximum efforts could be a challenge. In addition, the community
at large might not actively cooperate with the association in safely disposing wastes coming out
from the households.

All of these risks and uncertainties and others could affect the business profitability. If the changes
in business profit are positive, as a result of these risks and uncertainties, then there is no need to
recalculate the feasibility measures, but if they are negative, business investment feasibility must be
retested, and this is the role of the sensitivity analysis. Hence, to conduct the sensitivity analysis of
the business investment, three scenarios are taken into consideration to test business profitability:
the increase of total revenue by 7.5% rather than a 10% increase assumed earlier, the increase of
costs and expenses by 3% rather than a 2% increase assumed earlier, and both occurring together.

Page 22
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

Scenario 1. Total Revenue increase by 7.5% from year 2012 up to 2015


The results of the investment feasibility under this assumption are still positive where:
1. The payback period is three years and eight months; therefore based on the payback period;
we should accept the investment.
2. The net present value is a positive value of birr 94,073.50; therefore based on the net
present value rule; we should accept the investment.
3. The internal rate of return reached about 16.4473%, which is far greater than the prevailing
market rate of return of 15%, again implying that, it is advisable to undertake the
investment.
4. The benefit/cost ratio is 1.035, which is greater than one that indicates that the business
investment is estimated to provide a positive net return and that the investment is attractive
to undertake.

Scenario 2. All costs and expenses increase by 3%


The results of the investment feasibility under this assumption are still positive where:
1. The payback period is three years and six months; therefore based on the payback period;
we should accept the investment.
2. The net present value is a positive value of birr 271,830.54; therefore based on the net
present value rule; we should accept the investment.
3. The internal rate of return reached about 19.0398%, which is far greater than the prevailing
market rate of return of 15%, again implying that, it is advisable to undertake the
investment.
4. The benefit/cost ratio is 1.101, which is greater than one that indicates that the business
investment is estimated to provide a positive net return and that the investment is attractive
to undertake.

Scenario 3. Sales increase by 7.5% and all costs and expenses increase by 3%
The results of the investment feasibility under this assumption are still positive where:
1. The payback period is three years and nine months; therefore based on the payback period;
we should accept the investment.
2. The net present value is a positive value of birr 48,208.32; therefore based on the net
present value rule; we should accept the investment.

Page 23
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

3. The internal rate of return reached about 15.7484%, which is far greater than the prevailing
market rate of return of 15%, again implying that, it is advisable to undertake the
investment.
4. The benefit/cost ratio is 1.018, which is greater than one that indicates that the business
investment is estimated to provide a positive net return and that the investment is attractive
to undertake.

8. Socio-Economic and Political Analysis


As a socio-economic benefit the investment can create employment for 320 people from different
parts of the society in the year 2010/2011 and the job opportunities for our citizens will increase in
the successive years mainly addressing the pro-poor and vulnerable part of the society. As well, as
a result of the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management investment, the living standards of
target groups will be improved.

Moreover, when the project is implemented, it will benefit the town from different angels including
improved health, increase the attractiveness of the town for further investment, employment
creation, use of waste resources for energy and fertilizer purposes, etc. It is also expected to
improve positive attitude towards work in the society. Since waste disposal engages different
sectors of the economy, the indirect beneficiaries are many folds: families of those who are
employed in the activities, the community at large that enjoys clean environment, the tourism sector
that enjoys clean environment, the agricultural sector, and the energy sector. In addition to supply
of the domestic needs, the investment will generate birr 1,316,794 in terms of tax revenue to the
government in the five years.

Furthermore, if the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management investment takes place, it is
expected to result in decrease in unemployment, increase the purchasing power of target groups,
increase the inward investment to the town, increased contribution of the private sector to the
municipal budget and local economy, and improved business enabling environment (favorable to
new investments). In short, the business is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the
target group, families of thereof and on the community at large.

Specifically, the investment in the Integrated Waste Disposal and Management will result in an
increased income of the partners resulting from the sales of Integrated Waste Disposal and
Management services that will ultimately result in increased purchasing power of the local societies
mainly the direct and indirect beneficiaries. Moreover, the proposal enhances and promotes peace,

Page 24
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

harmonies and good team spirit and relationship between the partners and other indirect
beneficiaries.

In addition, it encourage other private enterprises which are currently involved in Integrated Waste
Disposal and Management to go for providing quality services as they will be in competition with
the newly established enterprise. Success of this project will encourage other unemployed
individuals for establishing new enterprise. As a result of the investment on average, households
will earn a monthly income of birr 500 up to birr 1,200 and that bad smells in the town minimized,
and incidences of diseases associated to polluted environment decreased. Finally, the business
investment will enhance trust and confidence between the local authorities and communities.

In general, the project is expected to have positive impacts from different perspectives. Firstly, it
creates job opportunities, and hence increases the income of those who are currently unemployed
and that it contributes to improve the livelihood of the target groups. It also has positive impact on
the environment by enhancing the assimilative capacity of the environment. Hence, improves
health of the society by increasing the cleanliness of the town. In so doing, it increases the inflow of
tourists to the town, which is an engine for town development and further creates jobs to the
unemployed. It also makes the town attractive for investment, and hence inward investment will
improve. Moreover, the business has little or no negative effect on environment. Last but not least,
it improves the attitude of people towards work. In sum, the project is with far reaching
implications to the success of the country’s/region’s five year GTP by way of meaningfully
contributing towards reducing unemployment and poverty as well as through generating growth at
various levels.

9. Conclusions and Recommendations


Generally, results of the assessment offered ample evidences on the viability of the project as
viewed from the financial, technical, economic, socio-political, and environmental dimensions of
feasibility. The fact that the project is labor intensive and encourages the involvement of women
and unemployed youth groups also demonstrated its strong linkage to the growth and poverty
reduction goal stipulated in the locality’s LED strategy of. Most outstandingly, financial and
economic feasibility indicators showed that the project is rewarding and with meaningful
contributions towards stimulating economic growth.

Page 25
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

The business investment is financially viable with an internal rate of return of 19.6835%, net
present value of birr 317,695.72 discounted at 15%, benefit/cost ratio of 1.118, and payback period
of three years and five months. These financial analysis criterions, all confirms the feasibility of the
business investment and their results indicate a promising investment opportunity. As an economic
benefit the investment can create employment for 320 Ethiopian in the year 2010/2011 and the job
opportunities for our citizens and will increase in the successive years. In addition to supply of the
domestic needs, the investment will generate birr 1,316,794 in terms of tax revenue to the
government. Generally, the project contributes to the development of the industry sector which ally
with the ongoing equity and efficiency-oriented growth and transformation plan of the country.

Making the most out of the recently active business and other factors, Integrated Waste Disposal
and Management will achieve the estimated revenue as well as the profit. As well, by enhancing the
potential to increase productivity and, managing or minimizing the various costs such as material
cost, labor cost, fuel expense, and others, the business will implement its investment profitably. In
addition, the business recognizes the fact that by differentiating its services, it can strongly compete
with established industry players and will be successful if it pursues the proposed investment.

Considering the earlier conclusions and others, the following sets of recommendations should be
taken into considerations:
1. Series of training on waste management practices and to actively cooperate with the
association in safely disposing wastes coming out from the households, and on the
importance of the activity in terms of creating wealth should be provided for the target
groups and to the community at large.
2. The cost of the business should properly be identified and managed as the excess or
uncontrolled costs result in failing to achieve the proposed investment. Specifically, the
material cost, labor cost, fuel expense, and others with large amount should be managed and
controlled to achieve the proposed investment.
3. A statistical system for business data used in the feasibility study should be designed and
implemented for monitoring, evaluation, and planning purposes. More attention should be
paid to accurate economic data collection, preparation, and analysis.
4. Integrated, customized, and quality services that will satisfy business’s customers at
competitive prices should be considered and pursued.

Page 26
Feasibility Study Integrated Waste Disposal and Management

5. Maintaining open communication between Integrated Waste Disposal and Management and
its customers as well as employees and other stakeholders in order to ensure the highest
level of customer satisfaction and long lasting reputation within the community.
6. To continue to expand the volume of waste disposal services and packages, while also
increasing the level of profits for Integrated Waste Disposal and Management as well as the
owner.
7. Last but not least, the business management must ensure the risk management by taking a
proactive approach to identifying possible risks, weighing up the costs and benefits of
different actions and developing a range of adaptation and responses.
