Effectiveness of interventions to induce waste segregation by households: evidence from a randomized controlled trial in Mozambique

In-depth analysis to develop a social marketing model to promote women's participation in waste segregation behaviour: A qualitative study

“…This problem was raised in the stakeholder interviews and the low budget of the waste management organisation for training was cited as a reason for this. In other studies, door-to-door education was effective [ 55 , 58 , 61 , 62 ].…”

“…The study by Heidari et al suggests that higher awareness and motivation are factors that influence waste separation among housewives [ 13 ].

Low-Cost Strategies to Improve Municipal Solid Waste Management in Developing Countries: Experimental Evidence from Nepal

“…However, the results of this study are yet to be published. Hosono and Aoyagi (2018) reported on a study in Mozambique where a campaign for information dissemination and provision of waste bins for waste segregation that targeted households increased at-source segregation and recycling although the interventions were less cost effective compared to other recycling projects.…”

“…RCT is one of the widely used methods in impact evaluation research, with randomization helping to identify causal relationships between interventions and outcomes (Khandker et al 2009). In the context of MSW management, RCTs have been used to shed light on numerous issues, including the effect of inducements or messaging on waste segregation (Hosono and Aoyagi 2018;Abbasi et al 2020), the influence of recycling campaigns (Cotterill et al 2009), and the impact of feedback on waste generation (Nomura et al 2011). These studies provide policy-relevant information, clarifying what works and what does not with waste separation and organisation.…”

Assessment on the Causes of Improper Waste Segregation Among Second Year Degree Nursing Students at a University, Windhoek, Khomas Region

“…In Africa in 2012, approximately, 125 million tons per annum of municipality waste generated, of which 81 million tons (65%) was from sub-Sahara Africa and this is expected to grow to 224 million by 2025 (Hososn & Aoyagi,2018) (10). According to Banerjee et al, (2013) (5), about 80 to 90% of waste produced in African hospital, it's recyclable which make little sense that more than 90% of waste in Africa is still disposable.…”
