Due to the rapid and immense quantities of solid wastes products in our city, municipality and urban areas have been increasing day by day due to developments of new Industries. As a result of increasing number of Industries a huge amount of wastes is produced daily in all developing nations and Ethiopia being among them and has surpassed the USA as the world’s largest solid waste (SWM) generator since 2004. The phenomena and critical issues of SW in Ethiopia has inspired this paper to investigate and analyze the SW in an urban area of Ethiopia by comparing the increasing rates of the SW generation with Solid Waste Management (SWM). It is noted that very little effort is being made in handling Solid waste management (SWM) which is one of the public service areas where effectiveness can be easily be gauged, and should not be regarded as a matter of luxury. Addis Ababa in general faces problems which are associated with poor SWM. This study deals with the assessment of Governance in SWM in Addis Sub city. Therefore governance is used as a framework for the study because currently it dominates development discourse and governance policies are implemented by governments aiming at improving urban services such as SWM. The paper has employed both qualitative and quantitative approach with descriptive types of research. Quantitative data was analyzed using statistical tools whereas qualitative data was analyzed in narrative explanation and discussion. The main findings revealed in the paper are: containers are not properly emptied on time, insufficient of support from SWM office, due to the absence of processing and recovery system by MSEs, lack of awareness and poor public attitude towards solid waste management, weak monitoring and evaluation system.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijssm.v2i2.12468          Int.

World Bank report revealed that waste generation has been on the ascendancy, the worlds’ cities generated 2.01 billion tons of solid waste in the year 2016. This figure is expected to reach 3.40 billion tons per year by 2050 due to increasing urbanization – a growth of 70%. Proper management of these has become a challenge for most developing countries in recent years. The path of urbanization, population growth and affluence is associated with the challenge of proper waste management in urban areas of developing countries since the higher the income level and rate of urbanization, the greater the solid waste generated. Unfortunately, sub-Saharan African countries like Ghana only focuses on waste collection instead of waste management. Waste management comprises all activities and actions needed to manage waste from inception to the final disposal. These activities and actions include collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste as well as monitoring and regulation. Also, Sanitary landfilling is among the best methods of decreasing the volume of waste products; however, the lack of suitable land for landfill sites is a key issue. Therefore, the lifespan of a landfill site can be prolonged when waste reduction at the source is well considered as an aspect of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management. Solid waste management in Ghana has been faced with several challenges which includes; poor attitude of the general populace towards waste disposal sanitation, unplanned human settlement especially in the urban centers, poor planning of waste management programmes, low or no public education on the good sanitation, inadequate waste infrastructure, lack of political will in enforcing sanitation bye laws, inadequate operational funds and equipment to support waste management activities among others. Also, there is lack of reliable national data on waste generation and composition to inform effective planning on waste management in Ghana Developing countries such as Ghana has to adopt measures that will be sustainable, efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly to help in proper waste management and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 3, 6, and 11 by 2030.

Rapid industrialisation with poor check on pollution generation, unplanned and uncontrolled urbanisation and lack of public awareness and training are the greatest contributors of mounting size of solid waste generated by 1.3 billion population of India. It has resulted in danger to health and environment creating hurdles in path to sustainable development. This research work is an attempt to analyse the laws regulating solid waste management in India. Author has analysed the duties of waste generators, Governments and local authorities in solid waste management. Author has also proposed few suggestions like, volunteers from public for reporting legal violations, sustainable consumption etc. for improved solid waste management.
