Public-Private Partnership Approach to Governance of Solid Waste Management Program of Batangas City
— This research intended to determine the performance of the PPP Approach to governance in the Solid Waste Management Program of Batangas City. It utilized descriptive research design involving 393 urban and rural households. The tasks of solid waste collection and disposal were given to a private contractor based on a mutually agreed Terms of Reference. The PPP approach was found efficient in terms of cost efficiency, quick response time, manpower, and minimization of backlogs and effective in four dimensions – promptness, sustainability, equity and progressiveness, and ineffective on adequacy. Rural residents viewed the PPP approach as ineffective in terms of said dimensions. There is significant difference between the perception of urban and rural residents on the effectiveness of the PPP approach. The results of this study would seem to suggest that in developing countries, like the Philippines, it might be necessary to tap the private sector to partner with local government units, so that the management of solid wastes could be done in a more efficient and a more effective way.
Solid Waste Management System: Public-Private Partnership, the Best System for Developing Countries
Solid waste management (SWM) is a major public health and environmental concern in urban areas of many developing countries. Nairobi's solid waste situation, which could be taken to generally represent the status which is largely characterized by low coverage of solid waste collection, pollution from uncontrolled dumping of waste, inefficient public services, unregulated and uncoordinated private sector and lack of key solid waste management infrastructure. This paper recapitulates on the public-private partnership as the best system for developing countries; challenges, approaches, practices or systems of SWM, and outcomes or advantages to the approach; the literature review focuses on surveying information pertaining to existing waste management methodologies, policies, and research relevant to the SWM. Information was sourced from peer-reviewed academic literature, grey literature, publicly available waste management plans, and through consultation with waste management professionals. Literature pertaining to SWM and municipal solid waste minimization, auditing and management were searched for through online journal databases, particularly Web of Science, and Science Direct. Legislation pertaining to waste management was also researched using the different databases. Additional information was obtained from grey literature and textbooks pertaining to waste management topics. After conducting preliminary research, prevalent references of select sources were identified and scanned for additional relevant articles. Research was also expanded to include literature pertaining to recycling, composting, education, and case studies; the manuscript summarizes with future recommendationsin terms collaborations of public/ private patternships, sensitization of people, privatization is important in improving processes and modernizing urban waste management, contract private sector, integrated waste management should be encouraged, provisional government leaders need to alter their mind set, prepare a strategic, integrated SWM plan for the cities, enact strong and adequate legislation at city and national level, evaluate the real impacts of waste management systems, utilizing locally based solutions for SWM service delivery and design, location, management of the waste collection centersand recycling and compositing activities should be encouraged.

In Tanzania only 40% of solid wastes in urbanized areas are collected and transported to the dumping sites. The remaining 60% are illegally disposed along road sides, sewage canals and reserved open spaces that contribute to floods and breeding of rodent vectors that eventually spread diseases such as intestinal schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminths. Public Private Partnership (PPP) has been adopted to address Solid Waste Management (SWM) in various countries and yielded robust results. However the PPP model has not been effective for Tanzania since its initiation in 1995. Therefore this paper examined factors influencing performance of PPPs in SWM at Kinondoni municipality. A cross sectional survey was employed to collect data that was analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression model. Findings showed that poor monitoring and evaluation practices influenced poor performance of PPP in SWM. Moreover, low capacity of the contracted companies, limited accessibility of residential areas and weak enforcement of laws and regulations governing solid waste management had negative influence at 0.05 significant levels. The study recommends the system should establish regular plan in combination with imprompt monitoring to eliminate the effect of possible falsified compliance. Furthermore, the municipal council has to improve town settlements to access the households easily for SWM. Lastly research on end use products of the waste should look at the technical, economic viability of the waste markets for the products processed from the waste for mitigating public health risks associated with SWM.

Palestine, being a developing country, faces lots of obstacles and deficiencies in the existing solid waste management (SWM) field. In wake of these circumstances, it seems hard for the public sector to run sustainable SWM systems. The overall objective of the research presented in this paper was to study the current status of the SWM field in the West Bank of Palestine under the perspective of potential private sector involvement. For this purpose, twelve Joint Service Councils (JSCs) for solid waste management were investigated. Out of them, only two are currently having a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contract for the management and operation of the transfer station and the sanitary landfill. On the other hand, two JSCs are currently making arrangements and implementing studies for future PPPs on waste-to-energy, biowaste management and recycling projects. Jenin and Tubas Joint Service Council (JSC) had 3-month-duration PPP contract for

This study discusses the rationale for public-private partnerships (PPP) in the management of urban solid waste (SWM) as well as the conditioning factors (both enhancers and impediments) to the success of PPPs in developing countries. The study adopted the desk review approach largely depending on published and unpublished journal articles and other relevant policy documents on PPP and SWM. The paper argues that three key phases of PPP processes should be seen as closely interlinked and public officials need to demonstrate tactfulness in the processes. The study noted that constraining or limiting factors that affect PPPs in sanitation services of developing countries include secrecy in contracts, inexperienced technical staff and bad faith of local policy elites, poor engagement and inadequate consultation. The study concludes that while PPPs could provide opportunities for harnessing the comparative advantages of both the private sector, PPP should not be regarded as the panacea i...
Assessment of Public–Private Partnership in Municipal Solid Waste Management in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Sustainability
The overall responsibility for waste management in Phnom Penh Capital (PPC) has rested with the municipal authorities and contracted waste collection companies. Providing waste collection services is a major challenge for Phnom Penh due to the increasing waste volume and the deficiency of the system under public–private partnership. In response to continuing population growth and urbanization, sustainable management is necessary. This study reviewed the details of the processes and examined the performance of the private sector and local government authorities (LGAs). The study used sustainability assessment, according to a success and efficiency factor method. This assessment method was developed to support solid waste management in developing countries. Multiple sustainability domains were evaluated: institutional, legislative, technical, environmental and health aspects as well as social, economic, financial and critical aspects. The results indicate that the long-term contract d...
Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for governments to sustain their role as the sole provider of citizen welfare services such as Waste Management services. Hence, public private partnerships have been accepted as a new paradigm to financing development in many countries even in the area of provision of public need services. The study adopted a case study design and interviews and observation were used to collect data from institutions and household.
THE ROLE OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN MSASANI WARD, DAR ES SALAAM
THE ROLE OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN MSASANI WARD, DAR ES SALAAM, 2021
The traditional way of procuring public infrastructure and services through fiscal budgets is increasingly becoming unviable particularly in developing economies in view of the endemic budget deficits. Macroeconomic instability and growing investment requirements have shown that public financing is limited, volatile and often inefficient (Chege, 2001). This has necessitated the consideration of public private partnerships (PPP) which studies suggest constitute a viable option and may even dominate infrastructure and service delivery in developing countries in the years to come (Rwelamila, 2004). However, the performance of PPP in developing countries especially Sub-Saharan Africa does not seem to reflect this optimism especially in the context of local governments. Public private partnerships (PPPs) refer to arrangements for the procurement of goods and services utilizing franchising and similar arrangement with the private sector; the private sector is contracted to provide public goods and services on behalf of government (Regan, 2005). In essence the private entity becomes the long-term provider of services while government becomes the purchaser of the services (Grout, 2003; Ahadzi, 2004).
Public-Public-Private Partnership for Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Eldoret Town, Kenya
Solid waste management is one of the most difficult environmental problems in the urban centers of developing countries, where services are often grossly deficient, especially within low-income settlements. The purpose of this study was to investigate if Public-Public-private Partnership contributed to sustainability of solid waste management, in Eldoret town, Kenya. The objective was to investigate the effects of public-private firm's resource capacity on sustainability of solid waste management in Eldoret town, Kenya. The researcher used stratified simple random sampling to get the respondents. Data was collected using interviews and questionnaires. Interviews were conducted to the management while the questionnaires were distributed to the sampled staff. Study findings revealed that resource centre has a significant effect on sustainable solid waste management; regulatory framework has a positive significant effect on solid waste management. The involvement of private partners in ensuring sustainable solid waste management is a positive contribution. Municipals should build a uniquely capable workforce enabling it to counter the problem of solid waste management. Clear health and sanitation regulations governing waste procedures should be in place. Municipal should relate well with residents, employees, SMEs and industries since good mutual relationship are paramount for sustainable solid waste management. Private partners should be consulted in formulation and development of bylaws and in making environment management systems for the public and private sectors. Introduction Sustainability is the continuous improvement of a present state without compromising the future state (Choguill, 1996). Solid Waste management is the collection, transportation, processing, recycling or disposal, and monitoring of waste materials. Development is incomplete without sustainability. In this modern world, there is the need for, not only development, but sustainability of the environment and the world in general. Lack of solid waste management can have major implications for the health of the environment, economy and society. Awortwi (2004) describes Public–public-private partnership (PPP) as a government service or public-private business venture which is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more public-private sector companies. PPP involves a contract between a public sector authority and a public-private party, in which the public-private party provides a public service or project and assumes substantial financial, technical and operational risk in the project. Overburdened and ineffective solid waste management systems are congruent with the rapidly changing consumption patterns that plague cities within the developing world. The resulting discrepancy between the current solid waste management systems and the growing need for expanded collection and disposal facilities has left an accumulating amount of solid waste within the urban environment producing unaesthetic and unsanitary conditions. The development of city wide initiatives for waste disposal is limited by the rapid pace of urban growth itself and the limited amount of financial resources available to the municipality for waste management. Filling the void, local initiatives to create urban solid waste management play a key role in building better solid waste management systems. Kenya's Vision 2030 also includes implementation of an integrated solid waste management system as a driver for development. The research will focused on public– public-private partnerships and deliberative democracy approaches in order to achieve sustainability within the solid waste management sector.
