The aim of the WP1 led by Enspire Science Ltd. (project coordinator) is to manage the Bio4HUMAN project and ensure its smooth operation. This includes the establishment of effective project management procedures, identification, and recovery from any possible risks that could affect the project (in terms of results achievement, schedule, effort, etc.). The work done under WP1 includes also IP and data management of the project.
Deliverables
D1.1: Project management guide
D1.2: Data management plan
Lead beneficiary:
Enspire Science
The main objective of this work package is to secure the coordination and management of the project during its second reporting period.

The objective of this WP is to map the key stakeholders (in DRC, South Sudan and in Europe) in target areas, develop a detailed scoping plan, and conduct the first phase of the scoping exercise which involves the needs assessment of the humanitarian sector in solid waste management and the review of the current status of how these needs are being addressed.
Deliverables
D3.1: Stakeholder analysis
D3.2: Scoping plan
D3.3: Humanitarian sector needs assessment
Lead beneficiary:
People in Need (PIN)
This work package’s aim is to conduct the second phase of the scoping exercise to better understand which bio-based innovative technological solutions and bio-based systems are environmentally friendly and may be applicable under different humanitarian contexts. Conducting deepened scoping exercises will provide significant advancement and advantages over the traditional methods currently used by the humanitarian sector and be the first kind of such market research. The exercise will also provide insights on resource allocation, assess the cost impact of the bio-based solutions, and eventually allow better understanding of the accurate costs for the solution implementation within the humanitarian sector.
Deliverables:
D4.1: List of bio-based solutions
D4.2: Gap analysis report
D4.3: Mid-term policy brief

Pro Civis Foundation
The main aim of WP5 is to realise the environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of the innovative bio-based solutions for SWM identified in WP4. Environmental LCA quantifies the environmental impacts of the bio-based products implementation in humanitarian aid. It will allow identifying the environmental hotspots and methodological or data gaps linked to the bio-based solutions for humanitarian aid. Thus, LCA results combined with social, economic, and governance assessments
(developed in WP6) will allow identifying and promoting the best innovative solutions to reduce environmental impacts under humanitarian aid conditions and promote bioeconomy.
Deliverables
D5.1: Data collection from partners: state-of-the-art and innovative solutions
D5.2: Hotspot analysis of the current and innovative solutions
D5.3: Identification of the best innovative solutions based on LCA

WeLOOP
The aim of work done under this WP is to define which socio-economic and governance aspects are important to be analysed. In the second part of the work, we will aim to combine a feasibility study and an innovation test bed to evaluate the both feasibility and replication potential of a proposed bio-based innovative solution in solid waste management. The feasibility study is foreseen to provide information on the technical, economic, and operational aspects of the solution, while the innovation test bed aims to provide a controlled environment to test the solution in a real-world
setting.
Deliverables
D6.1: Socio-economic and governance aspects analysis report
D6.2: Community engagement summary report
D6.3: SWOT analysis report
D6.4: Final policy brief
