The governance of waste management in urban Tanzania: towards a community based approach

Determinants of domestic waste input use in urban agriculture lowland systems in Africa: The case of Yaoundé in Cameroon

“…This result is in concordance with the complementary conclusion of Nkamleu & Adesina (2000) who argued that chemical fertilizers are more likely to be used on distant fields. This result is also in concordance with a community based approach defended by Kironde and Yhdego (1997).…”

“…As stated by Kironde and Yhdego (1997), community based solid waste management is an alternative to solve the problem of urban waste. The construction of transfer stations in Yaoundé near the farms would also make easier the participation and the contribution of the local population.…”

“…However, poor households can hardly be expected to pay for various services such as municipal waste compost (Danso, Drechsel, Fialor, & Giordano, 2006). Cameroon faces the same problems as Tanzania in terms of poor relations between the municipalities and the population (Kironde & Yhdego, 1997;Yhdego, 1994Yhdego, , 1995. Only the towns of Yaoundé and Douala benefit from a service of waste collection.…”

Managing Waste Through Managing People

“…A literature review proceeding from Japan relates the general tendencies for urban waste and the differences in composition and management philosophies from one country to another [18]. A study from Tanzania relates the management philosophies tested in cities there and stressed the importance of popular participation in reverse logistics [19]. The first reports on sourceseparation efforts proceed from the U.S.A. [20], [21], [22], but did not dwell on the results possible with management of people.…”

Urban cadastres for urban land governance

“…This contributes to the escalation of climate change and health concerns. Each of these concerns of urbanization are multifaceted in nature and interrelated with one another and cannot be adequately addressed by the existing conventional management and governance approaches (Cohen 2006, Bhuiyan 2010, Kironde and Yhdego 1997 especially in developing countries: where important supporting tools such as cadastre and land use plans are usually incomplete and obsolete (Fekade 2000, UN-Habitat 2009). …”
