Focus of WEPA Activities
Phase 1

[Verification of load to water environment][Focus on domestic wastewater treatment]- Promotion of domestic wastewater treatment- Information sharing on situation of decentralized domestic
wastewater treatment- Discussion on institutional development regarding domestic
wastewater management

Phase 2

[Deeper discussion on domestic wastewater management][Discussion on climate change and the water environment][Industrial Wastewater Management as a new focus]- Collection of information on institutions regarding industrial
wastewater management in partner countries

Phase 3

[Consideration of concrete measures to promote domestic
wastewater treatment][Development of discussion on industrial wastewatermanagement]3

1. Theme of FY2015 WEPA Workshop

Discussion results in the last Workshop
Challenges and possible countermeasures for domestic
wastewater were generally shared among partnercountries
On the other hand, increasing concerns about growing
and complicating influences by industrial wastewateralong with economic development↓
Necessity of prompt actions taking various aspects into
consideration are shared among partner countries↓“Industrial Wastewater Management”

Discussion in the last Workshop (FY2014)
1. Identification of key implementation barriers ofindustrial wastewater management
Institutional issues

Weak law enforcement,
weak manpower/humanresources support toeffectively implement
the law
Inadequate networking
and information
dissemination tostakeholders
Lack of data andinformation to support
decision making and longterm detailed /specificframework planning processwith time frame and targets

Capacity issues of
local government
units
Lack of technical support
to regional office

Lack of testing
equipment

Issues in industrial
side
Low capacity / capability of
the industries in putting up
wastewater treatment
facility in compliance toeffluent standard

Not willingness to invest
for environmental system

Lack of awareness /willingness from industry

to sustain effective
wastewater management

Issues in industrial
side
Educate and disseminate
information to privateindustries
Promote Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR)
Provision of incentives system
in form of tax holidays tosupport compliance by theindustries

• How to enhancecapacity of local
government units?

Outline of Questionnaire Survey• Survey respondent: Focal Points of each partner country• Questions:- Prioritized business types and scale in terms of industrial wastewater
management- Effective approaches/measures for industrial wastewater management (14questions in total with 5-point scale)(1) Strengthening laws and regulations (more stringent effluent standard /penalty / other regulations)(2) Strengthening enforcement by local government units (LGUs)(empowerment/monitoring/on-site inspection)(3) Enhancement of support to LGUs by central government (increasing in
number of staffs/capacity development/subsidies)(4) Financial support to industries(5) Raising industries’ incentives (commemoration system / green production /pollution control management system / enhancing environmentaltechnologies)- Concerns and interestedness in industrial wastewater management- Introduction of best practice
Survey respondent (as of 5 Jan: 5 countries): Special Thanks to KH, KR, MY, NP and PH

3. Group Discussion on Industrial Wastewater Management

Purpose“Industrial Wastewater Management” is to be focused from the view how toenhance the industries’ compliance and deals with 3 approaches below.

A: Law enforcement by LGUs
On-site inspection, administrative direction, etc.

B: Enhancement of support to LGUs by central government
Arrangement of detailed rules/guidelines, human resources development, etc.

C: Raising industries’ incentives
Commendation system, rating, etc.
Goals of discussion are ;(1)To share strategies, efforts, experiences, good effects, difficulties, etc. on policy
tools/systems relating to the above each approach among WEPA partner countries(2)To deepen discussion on factors/conditions that function policy tools/systems ofeach approach more effectively11
