Transforming Waste Management in Senegal: Strategies for a Sustainable Future
Senegal faces a critical challenge in waste management, with 3.1 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated annually—45% of which remains uncollected. Addressing this issue requires a strategic, multi-divisional approach to waste minimization, collection, treatment, and sustainable disposal.
This book provides a comprehensive roadmap for improving Senegal’s waste management sector. It examines the current organizational structure, explores technical solutions, and outlines innovative strategies for closing collection gaps, optimizing transportation, establishing centralized treatment facilities, and integrating digital solutions. Additionally, it emphasizes awareness campaigns, funding mechanisms, and policy enhancements to drive long-term impact.
By offering data-driven insights and practical strategies, this guide supports policymakers, urban planners, and waste management professionals in making informed decisions to reduce landfill stress, promote circular economy practices, and pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable Senegal.
