Resource summary
The open burning of waste continues to be a major waste management challenge for many African local governments. This challenge is primarily attributed to the lack of adequate waste management solutions, further exacerbated by a lack of knowledge
about the environmental, social and economic disadvantages of burning waste.
This guide is a tool designed for local government authorities to mitigate open waste burning and achieve sustainable waste management. It has been developed based on insights and practices shared by local government officials across sub-Saharan Africa.
