Produktbeschreibung
The approach to waste management in African cities is essentially curative, despite the fact that many of them, particularly Douala and Yaoundé, have the potential to guarantee sustainable urban waste management. The aim of this book is to analyse the current structure of the waste sector and to understand the informal management approach as a lever for effective waste management. In a context where the waste sector is characterised by institutional weaknesses, organisational shortcomings and a lack of funding, this book shows that it is possible to establish an intelligent waste management system by creating the National Agency for the Environment and Intelligent Development, introducing a mechanism for billing all users of the public waste service, setting up the Cameroon Federation of Eco-Recoverers, and finally designing a digital platform: e-waste, modelled on the informal model. This work is aimed at students, teachers, city managers and decision-makers.
