About this title

Synopsis

Local government initiatives to include community and public private partnerships are basic modality of decentralization of public services which lessens the burden of central government and brings the components of governance closer to the citizens.Solid Waste Management in the urbanizing developing states has become a daunting challenge for Local Governments.This book apart from analyzing the management and administration barriers in this sector with reference to a sample municipality from Nepal also attempts to review national policies of solid waste management and correlate them with compliance. The study finally concludes that decentralization in waste management is crucial for developing countries as it allows room for wider stakeholders involvement in private and public sectors. There is also no alternative to innovation in converting waste to resources coupled with practical and workable legal arrangements.The book will prove useful to scholars and researchers in the area of local governance and Solid Waste Management particularly for those interested in Decentralization issues.
