Evaluation of Waste Management in Large Cities of Côte d’Ivoire: Case of the City of Bouaké

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The article assesses household and similar waste management in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire. It examines the governance framework, infrastructure, collection methods, funding, and stakeholders involved in the waste management system. The study uses a mixed-methods approach involving stakeholder meetings, documentary collection, field visits, and SWOT analysis. Findings reveal centralized governance dominated by MINHAS and ANAGED, insufficient infrastructure and equipment despite accessibility, a capped budget hindering achievement of WHO collection rate targets, and an informal pre-collection system financed by households.
