Proposal of cooperation indicators in the shared management of solid waste

Abstract

The National Solid Waste Policy (BRASIL, 2010) directs governments, companies and civil society to take cooperative responsibility for management plans. In this sense, the work that follows aims to propose an integrated evaluation instrument to measure and classify the degree of cooperation between actors involved in shared solid waste management. Based on a cross-reference between the literature on cooperation in public management and the theoretical and legal debates on the issue of solid waste, 19 indicators were elaborated, divided into four dimensions of cooperation: cognitive, operational, relational and political-institutional. (municipalities, microregions, etc.) and for the evaluation of those responsible (government actors, social actors and economic actors). The proposed indicators provide managers with a clearer picture of the shared waste management structure, allowing timely actions to be planned to ensure partnership between sectors.
