Abstract
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management
is a crucial service provided by cities around the world,
but is often inefficient and underperforming in developing
countries. This report provides eight examples of RBF
designs, each tailored to the specific context and needs of
the solid waste sector in the specific city or country.
These projects are currently in various stages of
preparation or implementation; hence, lessons can be
inferred only in terms of how solid waste projects can be
developed using RBF principles. The eight examples could be
classified into three main categories: (a) RBF to improve
solid waste service delivery and fee collection: in Nepal
and the West Bank, the projects use RBF subsidies to improve
the financial sustainability of MSW services by increasing
user fee collection while simultaneously improving waste
collection services; (b) RBF to promote recycling and source
separation: in the cases of China, Indonesia, and Malaysia,
an incentive payment model is used to improve source
separation and collection of waste through changes in
behavior at the household level; and (c) RBF to strengthen
waste collection and transport in under-served communities:
in Mali and Tanzania, projects were designed to strengthen
secondary waste collection and transport for under-served
communities. In the case of Jamaica, the project was
designed to improve waste collection in inner-city
communities and to encourage waste separation as well as
general neighborhood cleanliness. This report presents the
challenges faced in the design and implementation phases as
well as general recommendations on how to address such
challenges in future projects. Some of the lessons learned
and recommendations are generally applicable to the
preparation of any MSW project, whereas others are
particular to the design of RBF projects for MSW.
