الملخص

Waste management system in Cairo has been noticeably witnessing deterioration over the last fifteen years, where the entire chain of activities havedeficiencies; including collection, transportation, recovery, and disposal systems.Although waste recycling is a vital element of a sustainable waste managementsystem, as it contributes to benefiting the environment through the efficient use ofresources, the society through creating job opportunities, and the economy throughattracting new investments, in Egypt it is not included in the policy framework, and itis hardly a part of the formal system and is only performed by the informal sector.This thesis identifies the gaps in the existing legislative, institutional andfinancial frameworks of the Solid Waste Management (SWM) system in Egypt andspecifically in Cairo, that hinder mainstreaming waste recycling in specific in thepolicy framework. It also finds win-win situations for the parties involved in theSWM sector that would promote the recycling activity. Finally, it proposes new waysfor managing the different SWM activities (collection, transportation, recovery anddisposal) that would lead to successful recycling practices. The result from this studyindicates that the reasons why waste recycling is not promoted in Cairo are the lack offinancial autonomy, deficiencies in the legislative and institutional setup, andweaknesses in the governance of the SWM process. Accordingly, policyrecommendations are proposed in addition to a SWM initiative for Cairo that clarifiesthe roles of each stakeholder and reform the whole chain of activities of the SWMsystem of Cairo, through integrating the informal sector and encouraging the localprivate sector participation in a way that would promote waste recycling
