Abstract

This work analyzes the impact of the solid waste removal process urban areas in the municipality of Maputo, within the scope of the Public and Private partnerships andcase study, the KaMubukwana Municipal District, in the period 2011 - 2012. The search started from the hypothesis that the results of the public & private partner in Obtained from solid waste in the municipal district of KaMubukwana, in the period 2011 - 2012 were markedly unsatisfactory due, fundamentally, to the inability of the company hired to carry out the removal of solid waste efficiently. The analysis is based on two theoretical perspectives: on the one hand, in the theory Main, and on the other, in the theory of institutional capacity. The data obtained show that, in fact, it seems that, in a context of asymmetry of information, the interests of the principal (in the present case, of the citizen regarding the maintenance and healthy environmental management that he entrusted to Organs municipal bodies) are mercy of the agent, on the one hand, and that, on the other, the agent who becomes the principal relationship between municipal agencies and the company hired to remove the solid waste in the municipal district KaMubukwana in the city of Maputo) also bear the same burden as they do not control (sufficiently complete) the agent's action & behavior. But also, and from the Institutional Theory, the data obtained from the fieldwork reveal that if it is a fact that institutional and administrative capacity has to do with the ability that public structures have to identify and solve problems of implementation, it is also true the assertion that in the process of searching for best solutions to the various problems in society public institutions may not find better solutions to a particular type of problem, taking into account that, the contract between the municipal entities and the company concessionaire to collect and treat solid waste was based on relations between the two parties that would have proved to be optimal, from the point of view of results achieved for both parties.
