The book "Municipal Solid Waste Management" by Edward Ezekiel offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in waste management in cities of the Global South. In light of rapid urbanization and the associated sanitation challenges, it examines the role of non-state actors in service provision. The publication is based on qualitative field research and highlights the involvement of private companies as well as community-based organizations in household waste management. Additionally, it thoroughly discusses the diversity and dynamics of stakeholders, the privatization of waste management, and the key barriers to effective waste management. This book is aimed at policymakers, researchers, and the general public interested in the integration of non-state actors into waste management.
