Abstract

Municipality and Solid Waste Management Case of the Municipality of Maputo Large cities today have major problems related to solid waste management. The capital of Mozambique, Maputo, does not escape this phenomenon . This work intends to address this issue in order to contribute to the adoption of new solid waste collection strategies, commonly called garbage: In order to understand this issue in Mozambique, we opted for a contextualized analysis of the political and administrative organization of Mozambique right after Independence until today. The solid waste management strategy in a centralized system is different from the decentralized system, which allows for greater openness and closer contact with citizens. Decree 7/78 introduces the Executive Councils that replace the Municipal Chambers of the political and administrative organization that prevailed in the colonial period. The constraints and opportunities in this system that was centralized will be analyzed; In 1998, the first municipal elections are held in the country. The Municipality presupposes the participation of citizens in the management of the city, but the issue of solid waste continues to dominate Maputo City. It is intended to analyze the constraints in solid waste management in this municipality. Cities adapt different solid waste management strategies. For the adoption of a strategy it is necessary to take into account the specificity of each region. Several experiences of some Cities will be analyzed as a way to see the common points that can be useful For this work, the theories of Decentralization, Participation and Environmental Education will be used.
