PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM MOROCCO

This paper addresses the involvement of the private sector in financing and managing solid waste management (SWM) services in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC).  In the first section of this paper, private sector participation (PSP) in Morocco is presented, including the reasons for involving private enterprise. The second section discusses the PSP experience in Tangier where PSP has been practised since the year 2000.  Relevant issues of contract management and some principles of sustainability in SWM are discussed.  One particular issue is the lack of accurate information on the quantities of waste to be collected, and the impact this has on the relationship between client and contractor. The paper concludes with some key lessons learnt from this evidence.
