Waste Recycling and Repurposing to Address SDG 11 in Burkina Faso: Do Multi-stakeholder Platforms Matter?

Abstract

Poor waste management and uncontrolled waste disposal cause pollution and blocked drainage facilities, leading to flooding and water stagnation, increasing the risk of diseases, and eroding local progresses toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recycling and repurposing liquid and solid waste for urban and periurban agriculture, green spaces, and green energy on the other hand benefit social and ecosystem resilience and can contribute to SDG11. This chapter considers the uneven progress in Burkina Faso where the transgressive behavior of garbage producers leads to illegal garbage dumping, equipment obsolescence, insufficient maintenance, and the lack of support from authorities. We show how the creation of a participatory Multi-Stakeholder Platform (MSP) can lead to better collection, recycling, and repurposing of wastes. The results showed that (1) the practice of liquid and solid waste management involves several interacting stakeholders, (2) these interactions generate complex problems hardly resolved by a single (few) stakeholder(s), and (3) an MSP is a good approach toward solving these complex problems.

Upcycling Kriya “Chilaz Craft" Untuk SDG Target 11.6 Pengelolaan Sampah Di Kecamatan Coblong, Kota Bandung

“…Sebagai respons terhadap tantangan pengelolaan sampah yang semakin kompleks, konsep upcycling telah muncul sebagai salah satu pendekatan inovatif dalam menjawab persoalan tersebut. Upcycling merupakan suatu pendekatan dalam konteks ekonomi kreatif yang mengubah sampah menjadi produk bernilai ekonomi tinggi dan bermanfaat, dengan mengutamakan penggunaan kembali bahan-bahan limbah tanpa mengurangi kualitasnya Dalam konteks mencapai Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (Sustainable Development Goals/SDGs), khususnya Target 11.6 yang menetapkan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pengelolaan sampah perkotaan secara berkelanjutan, pendekatan upcycling menjadi relevan dan strategis untuk diimplementasikan di tingkat warga masyarakat local (Cibrario, 2018;Sanfo, S. et al, 2022;C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, 2023).…”
