Empowering Local Communities to Oversee Waste Management Services
REFNo: SS3614ES
The open burning of household waste is a major public health challenge throughout the Global South, since it creates a direct route of exposure to concentrated air pollution. One reason why people turn to open burning is that the collection of household waste is unreliable. In the context of our study (Nansana Municipality / Wakiso District), municipal and district governments write contracts with private companies to collect waste from specific neighborhoods, but have trouble overseeing those contracts to ensure that pickup schedules are appropriate and that services are reliable. This prevents residents from using services and creates barriers to meeting national goals of reducing the informal disposal of plastic wastes.
We will conduct a randomized experiment where the treatment will involve granting authority for the oversight and monitoring of waste services to zones (LC1s), which are the lowest level jurisdiction in Uganda. Specifically, we will provide training to chairpersons in treated zones about (1) new authority for oversight of contractors, including the ability to recommend dismissal of existing contractors who do not meet their obligations; and (2) new responsibilities for recommending contractors in the case of openings. The control zones will continue to have their waste collection contracts centrally managed by municipal or district authorities. Decentralizing authority for waste management may improve the fit of contracts to local conditions. However, the devolution of oversight authority may also raise risks of inefficiency and decreased professionalism in management.
We will build upon a previous project with the Nansana Municipal Government and utilize a vetted data collection protocol for measuring informal waste disposal (Buntaine et al. 2024). We will conduct transects through both treatment and control neighborhoods to document the amount of household waste that is disposed informally. The key outcome targeted in the experiment is a decrease in the informal disposal of household waste. We will specifically evaluate whether decentralizing oversight authority decreases the amount of solid waste that is burned in sample zones. Our project aligns with national priorities to decrease the informal disposal of plastic waste.
