Abstract

This document analyses nine projects in solid waste management, conducted in West Africa and Asia, with the participation of residents of some underprivileged neighbourhoods where public utilities were totally lacking. On the basis of case studies, this document looks into the following aspects: i. What are the various forms of community participation and who are the key actors in waste management? ii. What are the various technical, financial and operational methods of community management and what is the actual capacity of residents to deal with a waste management project? iii. What is the overall impact of these projects in terms of local politics, improving living areas, reducing unequal distribution of public utilities, but also in terms of decentralisation? The report is a translation of the French original: Enjeux et résultats de la participation communautaire autour de l'environnement urbain.
