Analysis of the MSW management system in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, in the light of sustainable development goals (SDG)

Abstract

The study analyzes the existing system of solid municipal waste management in the capital of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau - Bissau. Based on the analysis, facts of ineffective waste management, lack of operational control and systematization of data in the system of urban sanitation of the city were revealed, which is due to the lack of necessary technical training at the level of the city government - the city council of Bissau. The identified local reasons for the insufficient quality and efficiency of the provided services for sanitation of the city are financial constraints and lack of qualified personnel. On the other hand, the problem is the lack of a sustainable waste management policy at the country level.
