Targeting partnerships toward a model of community waste management: a case study in Nepal
by Brenda Bushell, Masayuki Goto
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 8, No. 2, 2006

Abstract: Although a National Policy for Solid Waste Management was adopted in Nepal in 1997, attempts to enact legislation and develop a sustainable system stalled, mainly due to an unstable political situation and a lack of commitment among various stakeholders. Lacking reliable and systematic removal of waste in the capital city Kathmandu, neighborhoods have begun to employ human resources at the community level. This paper reports on the results of investigation into community partnerships for the sustainable management of waste. Based on the outcomes, a model incorporating the synergy between community NGO and school is suggested.
