Interacting with trash beyond the bin: a role for citizens in solid waste management
As technology increasingly connects communities, it is also being harnessed to conquer waste management problems worldwide. In solid waste management, a policy area that depends deeply on community participation for success, many cities and governments are looking to technological solutions to connect with citizens to improve service delivery.
This webinar explores ways that information and communications technology (ICT) can be used to motivate citizen participation in solid waste issues, as well as necessary considerations for developing contexts. Our speakers and panelists discuss citizen engagement models implemented for diverse objectives, including community incentivization, citizen feedback, urban monitoring, and informal sector empowerment. They discuss success factors, challenges, and implications for other developing communities worldwide.
