Article Synopsis
- Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in Ethiopia is a multi-faceted issue involving various dimensions, and effective planning requires insights into waste generation rates and composition.
- The waste generation rate is 0.38 kg per person per day, with food waste being the largest component; recyclables and organic matter offer significant opportunities for composting and biogas production.
- Challenges such as insufficient political will, weak planning, and poor infrastructure hinder MSWM effectiveness, suggesting a need for increased public awareness, funding, and collaboration among government, industry, and civil society to address these issues.
