“…Cheng & Lee., (2010) developed a decision making approach to be adopted by firms on the degree of outsourcing third party logistics and focus on its management as an activity to be under taken externally by firms. Outsourcing activities from third party organizations also has an advantage of developing infrastructure and coming up with better managerial skills due to the adequate resources and capabilities and do provide room for flexibility and effectiveness (Katusiimeh, Mol, & Burger, 2012). This was evident from a study by (Kinobe et al, 2015), where areas that were capable of paying for solid waste collection in Kampala City (Nakawa and Makindye divisions) had less illegally dumped waste and less un official dumpsites.…”

“…In the 1980s, New Public Management (NPM) attempted to modernise the public sector along three lines: lean government, introduce private-sector management principles and enhance innovation and flexibility of local leadership (Wollmann 2004). 6 NPM has faced criticism concerning its emphasis on market rules, reducing local governments' ability to regulate (Rose & Ståhlberg 2005;Katusiimeh et al 2012). Meanwhile, local authorities moved from a regulatory/service provision role to an enabling role (Rose & Ståhlberg 2005;Betsill & Bulkeley 2006;Bulkeley & Castán-Broto 2013).…”

The complexities and uncertainties inherent to climate change place ecosystems and governance systems under pressure, in particular at the local level, where the causes and consequences of climate change play out. To address this complexity, local authorities have to be flexible, with an emphasis on learning and experimentation to lower greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the challenges climate change poseshence, they have to become learning organisations. Examining Malmö, this paper explores whether it has the characteristics to embrace and institutionalise learning and how this affects the development of its climate policies. The analysis finds several elements invaluable for Malmö's innovative climate policies: climate strategies are incorporated within the city's long-term vision to become a sustainable city: socially, economically and environmentally; dialogue and learning are emphasised throughout the process; and all stakeholders are involved, including external partners, leading to integrated approaches.

“…These factors include rapid urbanization, population growth coupled with the expansion of cities, poor urban planning and diminishing financial resources (Bolaane and Ali, 2004;Katusiimeh et al, 2012). The high expenditure incurred in waste collection and management is at the center of the problem of inefficient waste collection and poor waste management (Addo et al, 2015).…”

Solid Waste Management Service (SWMS) is an important public good, although most local governments in developing countries have failed to effectively provide it to their populace. Ineffective SWMS has serious environmental and public health ramifications. Consequently, other players such as NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs), private companies and Community Based Organizations (CBOs) have to be involved in the delivery of SWMS. This study assessed the level of beneficiary for households" satisfaction with SWMS as rendered by Okoa Maisha Project (OMP -the Swahili translation for project of saving lives) operating under the auspices of Where Talent Lives (WTL) -a local CBO located in Mnarani Village in Kilifi County in Kenya. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (52.4%, n=152) were very satisfied with the overall SWMS as rendered by OMP. The satisfaction was mostly due to quality variables such as householders" education on solid waste management (54%, n=157), neatness of waste collection crew (52.4%, n=152) and reliability of waste collection (49.7%, n=144). Relative to other indicators, the respondents ranked low quality variables such as frequency of waste collection from households and the behaviour of the waste collection crew towards the residents. The study concludes by emphasising on the need for assessment of SWMS as provided by CBOs for improved service delivery. The study recommends routine supervision of the SWMS rendered by donor or government sponsored projects for effective and sustainable service delivery to the beneficiary householders and the community
