dc.description.abstractThe effort of stakeholders which have not been previously investigated is a gap in knowledge which forms the bases for the study. The study therefore assessed the role of multiple stakeholders in municipal solid waste management in Zaria Local Government Area .Specific objectives of the include; examine stakeholder‘s roles in sustainable municipal solid waste management, examine the sustainable municipal solid waste management strategies, analyze the benefits of sustainable MSW management and assess the capacity of waste management agencies and institutions approach in sustainable MSW management in the study area. Data collection was through purposive sampling technique for both the community and the other stakeholders. Chi- square and correlation analysis were employed for the analysis. Majority (60.8%) of the community do participate in solid waste management at household level. Also, separation of recyclable waste and organic waste (50.5%), and enlightening others around to dispose waste timely and properly are means of participation. The other stakeholders mentioned waste collection & disposal (33.4%), scavenging operation, awarding of waste management contract (8.3%) and joint supervision of waste management activities (25%) as their role in the area. The study identified reuse (78.4%), selling of waste for recycling (51.5%) and burning of waste for manure as the major waste management strategies in the area. The community mentioned reduction of environmental pollution (59.7%) and environmental clean less as the major benefit of sustainable MSW management. Less awareness (41.3%) and poor cooperation (51.5%) are the major causes of poor MSW management. Environmental pollution (47.4%), disease outbreak (36.1%) and ground water contamination are the major implication of poor MSW management. The result of the chi- square and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that there is significant relationship between the stakeholders‘ capacity (staff and equipment or facilities) used and management of waste in the area with value 0.005 but the degree of association or relationship is weak(0.042) and moderate(0.067) of Pearson R value of staff and facilities. The study concluded that multiple stakeholder‘s role is significant on MSW management in the area. However, stakeholders need to improve their capacity (staff and facilities) to insure effective waste management. The study recommended that community should be enlightened on solid waste management practice such as reusing and selling of usable recyclables items to reduce waste generation at household level.Kaduna Environmental Protection Agency should provide more designated collection points in the study area to reduce improper dumping of waste.
