With the rapid urbanization of primary and secondary cities across Africa, the sustainable management of growing volumes of municipal solid waste has become a priority. Rwandan district governments of Huye and Muhanga have established solid waste management as a key focus area in moving to greener urban development through the Green Secondary Cities Development Program, which is funded by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). Improvement in waste collection and separation is recommended along with the development of a waste-to-resource value chain and a better regulatory enabling framework.
