“…The logit regression function for determining WTP has widely been used by many researchers (Lal and Takua, 2006;Arene andMbata, 2008 andUrpelainen andYoon, 2015 Figure 2). Most of the households (47.33%) have only seasonal income and 32% have monthly income.…”

“…Many studies have estimated farmers' WTP for compost products but most have been undertaken in developed countries with very few in the developing world (Agyekum et al 2014;Palatnik et al 2005;Arene and Mbata 2008;Valerian et al 2001). In particular, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study that covers several developing countries using an empirical application of a contingent valuation method to assess the market feasibility of a fecal sludge-based fertilizer.…”

Resource Recovery and Reuse (RRR) is a subprogram of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) dedicated to applied research on the safe recovery of water, nutrients and energy from domestic and agro-industrial waste streams. This subprogram aims to create impact through different lines of action research, including (i) developing and testing scalable RRR business models, (ii) assessing and mitigating risks from RRR for public health and the environment, (iii) supporting public and private entities with innovative approaches for the safe reuse of wastewater and organic waste, and (iv) improving rural-urban linkages and resource allocations while minimizing the negative urban footprint on the peri-urban environment. This subprogram works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations University (UNU), and many national and international partners across the globe. The RRR series of documents present summaries and reviews of the subprogram's research and resulting application guidelines, targeting development experts and others in the research for development continuum.

“…According to Arene and Mbata (2008) and Nzeadibe and Ajaero (2011), hazardous chemicals that are derived from wastes changes the chemical composition of soil, which can result in the destruction of crops and plants. Given that most of the people living in Abuja are farmers, increased poor wastes management is likely to results into poor soil quality and low agricultural yield.…”

It is widely accepted that solid waste management is a global problem. This problem is even more pronounced in developing countries such as Nigeria where solid waste management is a major concern. In recent times, however, there has been a concerted effort towards engaging members of the public in solving the waste management crisis. This effort is centred on public participation in sustainable waste management practice across the country. Nevertheless, in Abuja there seems to be low public participation in sustainable wastes and environmental management practice. This paper therefore seeks to investigate the rate of participation in sustainable waste and environmental management activities in Abuja. In order to achieve the aim of the study, the paper relied on a sample of 57 participants to obtain some primary data. The paper employed a mixed method approach with the aid of a questionnaire. The questions were designed to gather data on demographics of the participants, their awareness and attitude to sustainable waste management, the barriers preventing public participation in a sustainable solid waste management and measures that can encourage Environmental Management and Sustainable Development ISSN 2164-7682 2015 www.macrothink.org/emsd 181 public participation in sustainable waste management in Abuja. The study revealed that increase funding, provision of recycling collection points, enforcement of laws and policies, the development of effective policies and regulatory framework amongst others are some of the measures that can encourage public participation in sustainable waste management programs in Abuja.
