This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private sector involvement in public service is intended to achieve efficiency gain and better service quality through increasing private sector finance and expertise. However, these benefits are most often not achieved in developing countries due to investment risk of private finance, and problems of capacity and regulation of the private sector. This book examines private sector involvement (PSI) in solid waste collection by exploring the influence of private sector capacity and Local Governments’ regulations on private sector performance in terms of productivity and service quality. PSI in public service provision evolved to deal with market and government failures, so this study uses market and regulatory theories to explore the gaps in policy and practice of PSI and the factor explaining private sector performance in five cities in Ghana. The study shows there were weak regulatory practices and non-adherence to contractual obligations (unsigned contracts and delayed payment of subsidy), and consequently led to disincentives for full cost recovery and better service quality. However, there is now a gradual well functioning system being put in place with the recent competitive bidding in two cities with signing of contracts and city-wide user charging. This study concludes that the solutions to the problem of solid waste collection and management in developing countries hinge on adherence to formal rules of regulation, use of appropriate cost recovery mechanism for low income group, and restructuring of institutional arrangement to enforce legislation.

This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most discernible outcome of the increasing pace of urbanisation, along with the rise in the spate of consumerism in the post-liberalised economic environment has been the dramatic rise in municipal solid waste generation across the urban centres world over and more so in the developing countries. So enormous has been the challenge of managing the same along with the issue of providing efficient service of garbage collection at household and city level that the municipalities since the mid nineties started turning to the private sector. The move was largely fuelled by the international institutions such as the World Bank and other organisations which demonstrated the higher capabilities of the private sector in providing services and managing waste much more efficiently then the Local Governments. Resultantly many developing countries including India turned to privatization as a panacea for their solid waste management woes. However while private sector participation in municipal solid waste management services across Indian cities have being adopted, there is an acute lack of empirical evidence and research assessing its implications from a sustainability perspective.Set against a milieu of solemn concerns emanating from inadequate municipal solid waste management on one side and the impetus given to private sector participation, this research critically examines and generates empirical evidence on the performance and implications of private sector participation in municipal solid waste management through the lens of a sustainability assessment prism specifically constructed for this purpose. In order to get to the depth of performance analysis, the research employs a single case study research design using the city of Amritsar as the case for application of the sustainability assessment framework. With robust evidence emerging from the four-cornered sustainability prism i.e. social, economic, environmental and institutional, the study offers valuable insights for retrospection and course correction in Indian cities and other similar contexts. More over one of the main contributions emerging from the research is the development of a sustainability assessment framework for evaluating privatized operations in waste management context. Thus the same can be used by Researchers and Governments across developing countries in particular to evaluate and assess privatized municipal solid waste management and apply the yardsticks of measurement across the social, economic, environmental and institutional dimensions of sustainability underlying such operations. The same would be immensely useful in informing Governmental policies in decision making related to improvising the operations, replicating the privatization models or replacing them with better options as the case may be.

This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for investment in the Solid Waste (SW) sector in Low- and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) far outstrips their financial resources. One of the solutions recommended is the involvement of the private sector. This book aims to demonstrate the limitations of privatisation models to the concept of Integrated Sustainable SW Management (ISSWM) This investigation discovered that the main contradictions include the nature of solid waste (limitation of Standard Market Model to cope with public goods), the limitation of so- called "Pareto Efficiency," the presence of externalities, free-rider issues, low-income areas, and a decided lack of accurate information and the prevalence of asymmetric information (or "symmetric lack of information. The success of PSP does not necessarily depend on competition, but rather on good inter-organisational relationships. This book highlights the crucial importance of good inter- organisational relationships. Government agencies or private agencies should enhance the monitoring of outsourced SW services, and new systems to strengthen the managerial capacity of municipal managers should be introduced.

Download or read book What a Waste 2.0 written by Silpa Kaza and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management affects every person in the world. By 2050, the world is expected to increase waste generation by 70 percent, from 2.01 billion tonnes of waste in 2016 to 3.40 billion tonnes of waste annually. Individuals and governments make decisions about consumption and waste management that affect the daily health, productivity, and cleanliness of communities. Poorly managed waste is contaminating the world’s oceans, clogging drains and causing flooding, transmitting diseases, increasing respiratory problems, harming animals that consume waste unknowingly, and affecting economic development. Unmanaged and improperly managed waste from decades of economic growth requires urgent action at all levels of society. What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 aggregates extensive solid aste data at the national and urban levels. It estimates and projects waste generation to 2030 and 2050. Beyond the core data metrics from waste generation to disposal, the report provides information on waste management costs, revenues, and tariffs; special wastes; regulations; public communication; administrative and operational models; and the informal sector. Solid waste management accounts for approximately 20 percent of municipal budgets in low-income countries and 10 percent of municipal budgets in middle-income countries, on average. Waste management is often under the jurisdiction of local authorities facing competing priorities and limited resources and capacities in planning, contract management, and operational monitoring. These factors make sustainable waste management a complicated proposition; most low- and middle-income countries, and their respective cities, are struggling to address these challenges. Waste management data are critical to creating policy and planning for local contexts. Understanding how much waste is generated—especially with rapid urbanization and population growth—as well as the types of waste generated helps local governments to select appropriate management methods and plan for future demand. It allows governments to design a system with a suitable number of vehicles, establish efficient routes, set targets for diversion of waste, track progress, and adapt as consumption patterns change. With accurate data, governments can realistically allocate resources, assess relevant technologies, and consider strategic partners for service provision, such as the private sector or nongovernmental organizations. What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 provides the most up-to-date information available to empower citizens and governments around the world to effectively address the pressing global crisis of waste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing solid waste is one of the major challenges in urbanization. A survey conducted in all 58 municipalities of Nepal in 2012 found that the average municipal solid waste generation was 317 grams per capita per day. This translates into 1,435 tons per day or 524,000 tons per year of municipal solid waste generation in Nepal. Many of these technically and financially constrained municipalities are still practicing roadside waste pickup from open piles and open dumping, creating major health risks.

This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a matter of great concern in the urban areas of developing countries. The municipal authorities who are responsible for managing municipal solid waste are unable to discharge their obligations effectively because they lack the in-house capacity to handle the complexities of the process. It is heartening to see that the World Bank has prepared this book covering all important aspects of municipal SWM in great depth. The book covers very lucidly the present scenario of SWM in urban areas, the system deficiencies that exist, and the steps that need to be taken to correct SWM practices in compliance with Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 ratified by the Government of India. The book shares examples of best practices adopted in various parts of the country and abroad, and very appropriately covers the institutional, financial, social, and legal aspects of solid waste management, which are essential for sustainability of the system. It provides a good insight on how to involve the community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to help improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service, and shows how contracting mechanisms can be used to involve the private sector in SWM services. This book will be a very useful tool for city managers and various stakeholders who deal with municipal solid waste management in the design and execution of appropriate and cost-effective systems.
