        <potential_impact><![CDATA[<p>A digital marketplace would connect waste producers (e.g., households, factories) to recyclers and upcyclers, creating economic opportunities while reducing landfill waste. Measurable impact:</p>
<ol><li>Diverting 20–30% of waste from landfills in pilot cities</li><li>Creating new jobs in recycling and manufacturing sectors</li></ol>]]></potential_impact>
        <problem_statement>Nigeria generates millions of tons of waste yearly, much of which could be recycled or upcycled. However, recyclers, artisans, and manufacturers lack a centralized platform to trade reusable materials, leading to waste and pollution.</problem_statement>

        <solution_proposal><![CDATA[<h2><strong>How do you envision the ideal solution to this  problem?</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Which ServiceNow products or capabilities would be used?</h3>
<p></p><ol><li>ServiceNow App Engine to build the custom marketplace</li><li>Flow Designer for automating trade and delivery workflows</li><li>Performance Analytics for tracking waste diversion metrics</li></ol>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>Are there any technical dependencies for the proposed solution?</h3>
<p></p><ol><li>Payment integration (Flutterwave, Paystack)</li><li>Integration with local logistics/delivery APIs</li></ol>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>What challenges would you foresee in implementing this idea?</h3>
