dc.description.abstract | Institutional frameworks serve as vehicles for proper solid waste management. Lapses in institutional
structures create ecological disasters that affect public health and environmental degradation. Municipal
solid waste management is a critical subject worldwide, and removal and control of municipal solid
waste remain a global task, specically in developing countries. The case of Ngomongo illustrates lapses
in waste institutions in Nairobi City. The research design for the study used a mixed-method where
primary data was collected using transect walk, questionnaires with 385 households administered, and
satellite images. Focus group discussions and key informant interviews used to ensure the validity and
reliability of the data. The results show the lapses that exist in institutional frameworks in Nairobi City as
supported by the objective of the study. The effects demonstrated by the doubled number of minilandlls, open waste sites on the roadside over the decade. | en_US |
