The study deals with the Public – Private Partnership (PPP) in solid waste
management (SWM) in Temeke Municipality. It tried to examine if public private
partnership can improve the solid waste management in Temeke municipal.
The study was conducted in Temeke Municipality as the case study. Based on the
nature of research questions and objectives, and also PPPs practices in the country, a
researcher adopted both exploratory and descriptive research. When a decision
problem has arisen from unplanned changes in the environment, there is usually a
need for exploratory to better understand what is happening and why it is happening.
Both qualitative and quantitative approaches will be adopted by the researcher.

Municipal Council, private sector involved in solid waste management in Temeke
Municipality and other stakeholders of the organization were included by researcher.

sampling and purposive (judgmental) sampling where by respondents who conform

information which relate to the study. The study revealed that regularity of waste
collection in TMC was very poor, to say the least, and quite unacceptable. The
finding reveals that waste collection is lower than 50%. This study reveals that the
use of PPP procurement mode is effective in solid waste management despite
technological issues.
In order to improve solid waste management in Temeke Municipality, the municipal
authority, NGOs, CBOs and private companies need to formulate strategies and
implement technological innovations necessary for proper management of solid
waste. Some of the known technologies observed in developed countries such as
incineration, conversion to bio-gas, refuse derived fuel and composting can as well
be adopted and practiced in Temeke. |
