| dc.description.abstract | Uganda’s central and local governments have made great efforts
to improve SWM policy implementation. Regulations and policies
have been issued, urban infrastructure improved, and
commercialization and international cooperation have been
encouraged to be part of the design. The responsibility of
solid waste management (SWM) lies with local governments as
specified in the Local Governments Act of 1997.
This research study was carried out to assess Solid Waste
Management policy implementation in Nyendo-Senyange Division,
one of the three divisions of Masaka Municipality. The
research was aimed at achieving four objectives namely: To
explore the nature of policy implementation on Solid Waste
Management, examine the challenges encountered in Solid Waste
Management policy implementation, find out appropriate
strategies to address the challenges encountered in Solid
Waste Management policy implementation in Nyendo-Senyange
Division, Masaka Municipality, Masaka District.
This research looked at the methodology used to collecting
data such as questionnaires, interviewing, documentation
review and focus group discussion. It also looked at the area
of study and its population, sample size, summary of the
findings, recommendations of the study and conclusions.
Research findings showed that almost all targeted groups knew
several Solid Waste management practices but they weren’t
practicing them all because some were beyond their reach
(practiced at division level). The division has done
tremendous work in SWM but more efforts needed to be double to
combat the problem of crude dumping. Management policy
challenges could best be handled just if we brought community
people, Civil Society and other duty bearers to be part of the
policy design, implementation and evaluation. Appropriate
technologies needed to be incorporated in the policy frame
work in order to promote green productivity for solid waste
