Assessment of Households’ Willingness to Join and Pay for Improving Waste Management Practices in Gedeo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

“…Respondents who generated 2 sacks of 50 kg of solid waste per week were more likely to pay for improving solid waste management compared to those who produced 1 sack of 50 kg of solid waste weekly.

In addition, we found that respondents who had access to solid waste management services were almost four times more likely to pay than those who had no access.…”

However, this finding is higher than the study finding in Nepal, 61% [18]; Uganda, 48.1% [22]; and Tanzania, 63% [28].…”
