Context/Project Rationale:

? The city of Dar es Salaam generates approximately 4,200 tonnes of solid waste per
day
? Kinondoni District generates almost half of the solid waste generated by the city of Dar
? Out of those, only 40% is collected through formal methods
? 60% is not collected. Therefore, half of it is left littered at different parts of the city while
half is collected through informal arrangements and dumped at unofficial dump sites.
? As a result of this situation, much of Dar looks filthy. Cholera and diarrheal diseases
are a daily menace that face the city of Dar.
? This project seeks to catalyse solution of this pathetic problem by formalizing unofficial
solid waste collection through demonstrating a smart management and community governance solid waste collection in three periphery wards of Kinondoni district where due to poor infrastructure, these locations are not accessible by refuse collection trucks
