Analyzing scope for sustainability, scalability and replicability of Solid Waste Management (SWM) Programme led by CDC
Efficient delivery of public services and infrastructure are pressing issues for municipalities in India. Solid waste management (SWM) is costly and complex for local governments, but it is so essential to the health, environment, and quality of life of the people—in particular, the poor—that government cannot afford to get it wrong. Our project addresses the problem by focusing on the business model pursued by CDC in Vadodara City and the villages in its vicinity. A city such as Vadodara, with its high economic growth and rapid urbanization, requires immediate solutions to the problems related to mismanagement of urban waste. Policy makers at the rural level too are actively trying to understand this problem and are seeking effective ways of intervening. They realize that such interventions are essential to improving the quality of their cities and to reducing adverse health and environmental impacts. After the failure of Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), over the years, the government needs to improve its SWM systems by adopting good collection coverage, appropriate transfer methods, and healthy disposal practices. This project takes a practical approach to SWM.
