SEED Practitioner Labs Policy Prototyping Malawi brought together policy makers, eco-inclusive enterprises, and intermediaries over a multi-step collaborative process to design policy instruments that increase access to and improve the quality of support mechanisms for socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable enterprises looking to scale their impact.

Developed in the SEED Practitioner Lab Policy Prototyping with ICCM, the proposed Malawi Waste Management Consortium supports the development of waste management markets and the alignment of policy around green and inclusive development approaches with entrepreneurial waste management solutions. The consortium aims to improve access to information on the current government policy for waste management and guidance for aspiring waste innovators. The consortium's integrated approach to knowledge sharing and capactiy building endeavours to influence policy makers and investors to better understand the benefits of sustainable waste management and align public sector activities and government support behind expanding opportunities for eco-inclusive entrepreneurship.
