Abstract
Abstract:
Assiut governorate is one of the deep-rooted governorates with area is 25926 Km2 representing 2.6% of Egypt area and population is about 4.4 Million. Waste collected amounts to 635.224 t/day from 11 Markaz, including: 11 cities, 2 districts, 55 rural Local Councils, 235 villages and 1083 hamlets. Assiut have two sites for Mechanical/Biological Treatment-MBT and landfill in Assiut and Qusiya.
The national solid waste management program- NSWMP supports the development of total of five 5 waste collection and recycling models in districts/ Markaz of Assiut.
This paper analyses and examines the motivation and capacity of individuals and community initiatives to initiate and sustain waste collection initiatives. Solid waste management and cleansing can be implement through collective and coordinated action by all stakeholders. The internal and external factors, which influence failure or success of solid waste community-based initiatives, are also examined using sustainable livelihood framework.
The analysis concludes that human and social assets including communication and networking skills are key to the success of all community initiatives. Primary collection is a part from the system and depends on other parts especially secondary collection. It is essential to coordinate and collaborate with Local Council to ensure the smooth implementation of the initiatives.
