Title

Analysis of Community Based Organization Involvement in Solid Waste Management: Case Study of Chegutu

Abstract

In many urban areas, especially in0developing nations,0solid waste management is a major problem. Community-based organizations (CBOs) have become significant players in the supply of solid waste management services in recent years. The type and scope of CBO engagement in this field, however, have received little investigation. By examining0CBO participation in solid waste management in an urban setting in a developing nation, this dissertation aims to close this gap. Data from CBOs, communities, and waste management authorities were gathered using a mixed-methods approach in the study, which also includes surveys, interviews, and observations., CBOs are vital to solid waste management, especially in places where municipal authorities are unable to offer adequate services. CBOs engage in a variety of tasks, such as waste disposal, recycling, and collecting, the research also outlines a number of issues that CBOs confront, such as scarce funding, insufficient assistance from government organizations, and social and cultural hurdles. The study findings indicate that CBOs are important because they significantly contribute to solid waste management, but their efficacy depends on a variety of conditions, including their organizational ability, access to resources, and 0cooperation from government agencies. The conclusions of this study have0significant importance for solid waste management policy and practice. The research0emphasizes the significance of increasing CBOs' capacity to manage solid waste in urban areas as well as the necessity to increased recognition and support of CBOs by government organizations. Overall, this dissertation advances knowledge of the function of CBOs in0solid waste management and offers suggestions for ways to enhance the0delivery of solid waste management services in urban settings.
