Annexure A: Logical Framework Analysis Matrix for WIS

	Description	Verifiable Indicators	Means of Verification	Important and Critical Assumptions
Development Objective	Reduced generation and environmental impact of all forms of waste, so that the socio-economic development of South Africa, the health of its people and the quality of its environmental resources are no longer adversely affected by uncontrolled and uncoordinated waste management.	Reduced generation of waste Reduced negative health, safety and environmental impact resulting from waste	Waste Information System Decrease in negative press reports about waste management issues	Waste is regarded as a priority issue by Government and other decision makers
Long-term Objective (by 2012)	That the WIS meet the information requirements of all stakeholders in the NWMS in support of achieving sustainable environmental management in South Africa, including extensions to other outputs and interfaces (eg., PRTR, GIS) as required by the Mintech task group 3	NWMS initiatives can calculate the effects of implementing their strategies Continued and enthusiastic stakeholder involvement Continual enhancements suggested for the outputs from the WIS	Improvement in indicators from all NWMS initiatives Number of stakeholders in the Mintech task group 3 Number of requests for information from the WIS Regular reviews of, and changes implemented in, the WIS	Adequate resources, both financial and personnel, are available Legislation revised and updated as required to support the changes in information requirements Suitable training is available to ensure that the personnel involved in the WIS are capable of meeting the changing requirements of the system
Immediate Objective (1999 to 2004)	To have an Information system in place, including reporting and information flows, by June 2001	Data base operational	Database passes tests specified in tender	Adequate resources, financial, personnel and infrastructure Enabling Legislation Personnel adequately capacitated
	To have a data set covering at least 20 000 information suppliers verified and aggregated by June 2002 (with a focus on the LAs as required by IWMP and Collection initiatives)	Minimum number of data suppliers to be 20 000, maximum 50 0000 Information sets at local authorities completed and forwarded to provincial authorities Information sets at provincial authorities verified	Total number of information submissions made Deadline for transfer of information to provincial authority met Deadline for transfer of information to national authority met

	1.4 Publication of waste report, January 2003 (objective 3.1.3)	WIS report published	Report audited

Activities	1.1 Specify the WIS and make available for drafting tender document 1.2 Award tender 1.3 Develop and install the database 1.4 Collect and enter baseline information	Tender document available Tender awarded WIS passes the performance test as specified in the tender document Information in place and analyzed	Companies agree to tender Deadline for awarding tender (end June 2000) met Run specified tests on WIS Carry out evaluation programs Report on baseline information entered into the database	Government approval to go to tender Available resources Political commitment and support is essential Commitment from stakeholders Sufficient skilled personnel and funding Institutional requirements met Enabling legislation in place Promotion of the WIS

	2.1 Collect data – phased in over three years (2001 to 2003) (objective 3.1.2 and ongoing) 2.2 Verify data – phased-in in parallel with data collection (2002 to 2004) (objective 3.1.2 and ongoing) 2.3 Aggregate and publish information in parallel to data verification (2002 to 2004) 2.4 Liaise with stakeholders	Requisite information being supplied from identified data suppliers Data collection completed in time to ensure time for verification to be completed Data verification completed in time for final aggregation to be completed Publication of final report Stakeholder forum established and regular meetings, with adequate attendance, convened	Minimum of 20 000 data submissions received Deadline for final submission met Information as required by IWMP and Waste Collection is available (January 2003) Deadline for submission to national government met Audit of report Minutes of meetings
	3.1 Update WIS and Guidelines 3.2 Operate the WIS help line 3.3 Maintain and archive backups of system 3.4 Ensure security of system	WIS updated to meet the requirements of all stakeholders Guidelines developed to reflect changes in the WIS Help line in place and effectively staffed so that queries are effectively answered Sufficient archives made and maintained to ensure efficient recovery from computer "crashes", both hardware and software. Security in place at all levels within the data structure to ensure minimal "hacking" into any of the public sites	Report detailing how WIS has been changed to meet the requirements of stakeholders New version of Guidelines released with new version of the database Log of calls received and time spent on them Cross reference on log of repeat calls on the same problem Log of "down time" maintained and evaluated Log of "hits" on the sites relative to actual hacking of the sites
