Overview
The PPIAF Trust Fund on Integrating Climate Change Agenda with Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
was set up in 2008 as a non-core multi-donor trust fund. This Trust Fund, funded by Norway and more
recently by the Netherlands, aims to mainstream considerations of climate change externalities and
opportunities with existing work in improving the delivery of infrastructure services. Four out of the ten
activities funded through the Climate Change Non-Core Trust Fund are currently under implementation.
Annex 1 contains the pipeline of these activities, and Annex 2 provides a statement of funding for
this trust fund.
I. Regional Climate Change Activities Funded through PPIAF Climate Change Non-Core
Trust Fund
Since 2009, PPIAF has supported six regional climate change activities in the transport and energy
sectors in Africa.
1. Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Waste Management in Sub-Saharan Africa ($170,000): this
activity was approved on April 28, 2009. It supports a study that examines issues and options related to
the proper disposal and recycling of mercury-containing lamps, and aims to enhance private sector
participation and to mitigate environmental and health impacts of CFLs disposal. Implementation of the
CFL waste management activity progressed steadily since its inception in June 2009, and the activity was
completed in March 2011. The final report of the study provided a comprehensive analysis of sanitary
risks induced by CFL distribution programs in Africa, and an analysis of practical options to deal with the
issues of collecting and recycling mercury-contained lamps, including an enhanced role for the private
sector for proper waste management. Among the recommendations of the study are: 1) to promote a
strong and sustainable market penetration of readily available high-quality lamps; 2) to avoid mercury
emissions by capture and confinement solutions that include proper landfilling; and 3) to control the
impact of mercury emissions by applying waste management best practices.
The activity also delivered six country case studies (Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Senegal,
South Africa, and Uganda), which were showcased in the World Bank Compact Fluorescent Lamps toolkit
funded through the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). The results achieved by
this activity are summarized in the table below.

� The activity was completed on March 31, 2011. It is too
early to report on some of the outcomes. PPIAF will
continue to monitor results to capture the actual outcomes
and impacts of this activity.
Technical capacity enhanced
� The CFL toolkit is being widely disseminated. The six
country case studies have been integrated in the toolkit to
enhance the technical capacities of decision-makers in
Sub-Saharan Africa to design appropriate frameworks for
CFL waste management.
