The absence of managing solid waste is a serious problem. An ever bigger concern is the growing quantities of waste that are generated at households level in informal settlements. In most cases proper safeguard measures are largely ineffective or not in place at all. Moreover, unsafe disposal of waste in the region is coupled with poor hygiene. There is no doubt that East African capital cities need to formulate effective ways to manage their waste. This book is a result of PhD research within the framework of the PROVIDE project funded by INREF and carried out in East African capital cities (Dar es Salaam, Nairobi and Kampala). The work was carried out at the Environmental Policy (ENP) group with professor Gert Spaargaren and Dr. Peter Oosterveer as promotor and co-promotor. The focus of the research was to highlight the role of households in the production and management of domestic solid wastes. Inevitably numerous persons and organizations have contributed to this research since it began in November 2006. Each contribution has in some way enriched the process and facilitated my ability to bring the research to a successful conclusion. I gratefully acknowledge the support of all those who have assisted me in this endeavour but I will also make specific mention of those persons whose contributions have been especially significant to my work. More importantly and admittedly, I deeply appreciate the financial support offered to me by the INREF and the Environmental Policy Group under the PROVIDE project during the period of my study. I am also grateful to the study leave granted to me by my employer Dar es salaam Institute of Technology (DIT). I am heartily thankful to my promotor prof. Gert Spaargaren and co-promotor dr. Peter Oosterveer whose encouragement, guidance, comments and support from the initial to the final stage enabled me to develop an understanding of the subject. Without their dedication, this work would not have become a reality. Their advice throughout the work, as well as their constructive criticism have influenced my thinking. Through you I learnt to believe in my work and myself. I would like to give special appreciation to prof. Gert Spaargaren for who accepted me as his Ph.D. student without any hesitation. He offered me so much advice, patiently supervising me, and always guiding me in the right direction. As a result, research life became smooth and rewarding for me. I want to express my deeply felt thanks to PROVIDE coordinator Dr. Gabor Szanto, for his constant guidance, encouragement and for listening to my ideas. I also appreciate the advice and support from PROVIDE project partners from East Africa; Dr. Shaaban Mgana from ARU, Dr. James Okot-Okumu from Makerere University Institute of Environment and Natural Resource, Kampala (Uganda); and Dr. Caleb Mireri from Kenyatta University, Department of Environmental Planning and Management, Nairobi, Kenya. We worked very closely together throughout. A special thanks goes to Dr. Shaaban Mgana for his instructions and assistance during my field work. I enjoyed the company and the logistical support given by the other members of Environmental Policy Group, their cooperation and enthusiasm were essential. I thank you all for the strong cohesion. Corry Rothuizen deserves a special word of thank, for making sure that I had pleasant working environment and for taking care of the necessary logistics. 8 The role of households in solid waste management in East Africa capital cities My fellow scholars in the PROVIDE project are Judith Tukahirwa, Christine Majale, Mesharch Katusiime, Sammy Letema, Thobias Bigambo, Fredrick Salukele, Richard Oyoo. I am grateful for the friendship, laughter, care, support and the valuable time we had together. The journey became easier as we travelled together. I am grateful to Judith Tukahirwa for being a constant source of inspiration and great help. My time at Wageningen was made enjoyable due to the many friends and groups that became a part of my life. I am grateful to my roommates Christine Majale, Dorien Korbee and Hilde Toonen. I am also thankful to Harry Dabban Barnes, and Leah Ombis for being a great company. I will always treasure the social interactions with the past and present student community at Wageningen University. I have fond memories of the get-together parties with Tanzanians and the wider East African Community which offered me desired moments of refreshments and relaxation. I am deeply indebted to the students’ chaplaincy in Wageningen, ICF International and Amazing Grace Parish for their immeasurable spiritual sustenance. Worshiping at ICF was a wonderful experience. I cherished the prayers, Bible studies and support, and the friendship with my Christian brothers and sisters. I treasured all precious moments we shared, I would like to thank you so much. My deepest gratitude goes to my family for their persistent love and support throughout my life; this dissertation would simply be impossible without them. I am indebted to my father, Rev. Oberlin Solomon, for his care and love. He worked hard to support the family spiritually and spared no effort to provide the best possible environment for me to grow up and attend school. Although he is no longer with us, he is forever remembered. I am sure he shares our joy and happiness in heaven. To my loving mother, I have no suitable word that can fully describe her everlasting love to me. Her constant prayers and unconditional love have been my greatest strength. Mama nakupenda (Mother, I love you). Last but not least, I am greatly indebted to my devoted husband Dr. Edward E. Sawe. For intimate advice and personal support while doing this study, I relied almost entirely on my dear husband. He has been so inspiring for the entire period of my study. To my children Nsia, Elisha and Aluseta, I owe you a lot. They form the backbone and origin of my happiness. Their love and support without any complaint or regret has enabled me to complete this PhD programme.

Analysis of the impact of groundwater contamination by pit latrines in Dar-es—salaam (Manzese squatter area) was carried out (chapter 5). Fluid and pollutant transport (chapter 2), microhial movement and survival in groundwater (chapter 3) as well as nutrient (nitrates) dynamics (chapter 4) were considered. Available data on the phenomenon were supplemented by the MFLOP model to obtain an insight into the nature of the problein.

  • Chapter 4. DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 4. DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA Document(s) 6 of 11 J.M. Lusugga Kironde INTRODUCTION Africa is currently undergoing rapid change. In most African countries, a major population- redistribution process is occurring as a result of rapid urbanization at a time when the economic performance of these countries is generally poor. Besieged by a plethora of problems, urban authorities are generally seen as incapable of dealing with the problems of rapid urbanization. One major area in which urban authorities appear to have failed to fulfil their duties is waste management. All African countries have laws requiring urban authorities to manage waste. Yet, in most urban areas, only a fraction of the waste generated daily is collected and safely disposed of by the authorities. Collection of solid waste is usually confined to the city centre and high-income neighbourhoods, and even there the service is usually irregular. Most parts of the city never benefit from public solid-waste disposal. Only a tiny fraction of urban households or firms are connected to a sewer network or to local septic tanks, and even for these households and firms, emptying or treatment services hardly exist. Industrial waste is usually disposed of, untreated, into the environment. Consequently, most urban residents and operators have to bury or burn their waste or dispose of it haphazardly. Common features of African urban areas are stinking heaps of uncollected waste; waste disposed of haphazardly by roadsides, in open spaces, or in valleys and drains; and waste water overflowing onto public lands. This situation was reflected in articles in East African newspapers in 1985 that referred to Dar es Salaam as a “garbage city” (Sunday News (Tanzania), 2 Nov 1985, p.

  • The Role of Street Food Vending to the Vendor's Household Welfare in Ilala
    Business Education Journal Volume I Issue II Email: [email protected] Published Online January, 2021 in http://www.cbe.ac.tz/bej THE ROLE OF STREET FOOD VENDING TO THE VENDOR’S HOUSEHOLD WELFARE IN ILALA MUNICIPALITY IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA Jackline V. Karondo E-mail: [email protected] & Ubaldus J. Tumaini E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper investigated the role of street food vending to the vendors’ household welfare in Ilala Municipality in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Specifically, it examined the motivation for undertaking food vending and determined income earned from this business. Also, it assessed the influence of socio-economic characteristics of street food vendors to their household’s welfare. A cross-sectional study design was applied involving multi-stage sampling techniques. Data were collected from 297 street food vendors using a semi-structured questionnaire. Applying both descriptive and inferential analysis, it was found that many people engage in street food vending because it requires small capital to start and that it generates a substantial income per month. Further, using binary logistics regression, it was established that the vendor’s household welfare are most likely to be influenced by vendor’s socio-economic characteristics such as vendor’s level of formal education (p < 0.05), household size (p < 0.000), street food vending business premise (p < 0.05) and loan from financial institutions (p < 0.001). It is concluded that many people engage in street food vending because it requires small capital to start and a source of reasonable income to meet their daily requirements.
