Introduction Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) in Ethiopia’s Amhara Regional State presents a growing public service challenge. 1 Rapid urbanization, population growth, and increased consumption have overwhelmed existing waste management systems, especially in cities such as Bahir Dar, Dessie, and Debre Berhan. 2 Despite the adoption of national policies such as Proclamation No. 513/2007 and the National Urban Sanitation Strategy, municipal enforcement remains weak, infrastructure is underdeveloped, and institutional mandates are fragmented. 3 Municipalities operate without cohesive bylaws, and regulatory responsibilities are dispersed across health, sanitation, and environmental sectors. 4 Informal waste pickers mainly women and youth are systematically excluded from formal systems despite playing a significant role in waste recovery. 1 , 3 Chronic underfunding, capacity shortfalls, and low public engagement exacerbate the crisis, posing escalating public health, environmental, and economic risks. 5 This policy brief presents a critical analysis of current gaps in urban solid waste management across the region and proposes actionable reforms to promote institutional coordination, equity, and environmental sustainability. 1.1 Objectives 1. To evaluate the current state of solid waste disposal in urban centers of Amhara Regional State 2. To assess the adequacy and enforcement of existing legal and institutional frameworks 3. To analyze the socio-economic and environmental consequences of ineffective solid waste disposal 4. To investigate disparities in waste management service delivery across urban neighborhoods 5. To identify policy and operational barriers to effective stakeholder engagement 2. Methods This policy brief uses a mixed-methods approach, combining secondary data analysis and stakeholder consultations. Sources include government policies, municipal records, and reports from development partners. Quantitative data on service coverage, staffing, and budgets were analyzed alongside qualitative insights from municipal officials, health experts, and informal waste workers. The assessment focused on five key areas: waste practices, institutional capacity, socio-economic and environmental impacts, service disparities, and stakeholder engagement. Figure 1 illustrates the thematic framework guiding the analysis. Figure 1. Analytical framework for assessing urban solid waste management in Amhara Regional State. 3. Policy outcomes and implications 3.1 Current state of solid waste disposal in Amhara Regional State Urban solid waste management in Amhara Regional State faces critical challenges due to rapid urbanization, weak institutional capacity, and outdated infrastructure. 6 Cities like Bahir Dar, Gondar, Dessie, and Debre Markos generate 1,500–2,000 metric tons of waste daily, yet only 50–60% is collected, and less than half of that is safely disposed. 7 Figure 2 illustrates that organic waste mainly food and agricultural residue makes up 65–70% of the total waste stream, indicating missed opportunities for composting and bio-recovery. Poor collection practices, aging fleets (e.g., Gondar operates with fewer than 10 trucks for over 350,000 residents), and widespread open dumping contribute to severe health and environmental risks. 8 Over 70% of urban centers lack sanitary landfills, making current disposal practices unsustainable. 9 As shown in Table 1 , a significant portion of waste in key cities remains either uncollected or is collected but unsafely managed, further heightening public health threats and environmental degradation across the region. Figure 2. Waste composition in urban areas of Amhara Regional State. 7 , 8 Table 1. Estimated daily municipal solid waste flows in major urban centers of Amhara Region (Source: Estimates derived from average per capita waste generation (~0.45 kg/person/day) and urban population data). City Estimated daily Waste generation (t/day) Collected (t/day) Uncollected (t/day) Safely disposed (t/day) Key notes Bahir Dar 99 73 (74%) 26 (26%) Minimal (<10 t) Collected mainly by private companies; lacks sanitary landfill. Gondar 157 80 (51%) 77 (49%) Very low (<5 t) Limited infrastructure; disposal in open dumps. Dessie 90 50 (56%) 40 (44%) <5 Open dumping common; limited municipal capacity.

Budget allocations under 5% limit essential services. 15 Overlapping mandates and frequent institutional restructuring hinder coordination and innovation. 12 , 14 Behavioral challenges persist, with less than 10% of households practicing waste separation. 13 Informal waste workers mainly youth and women remain unrecognized and unprotected despite their vital recycling role. 1 , 5 , 16 These gaps underscore the urgent need for harmonized policies, strengthened institutions, better coordination, and inclusive approaches that empower informal actors and drive behavioral change. As shown in Table 2 , significant disparities exist in legal frameworks and institutional capacities for SWM across municipalities in ARS. Table 2. Comparative analysis of Legal and Institutional Capacities for Solid Waste Management (SWM) in ARS [ 15 , 16 ]. City Existence of updated waste bylaws Dedicated Waste Management Unit (WMU) No. of environmental health inspectors Budget allocation for SWM (% of Municipal budget) Inter-agency coordination mechanism Integration of informal sector Bahir Dar Yes (2021 revision) Yes 5 (per 120,000 pop.) 6.2% Weak Limited between health & env’t depts. Informal workers unrecognized Gondar Partial (outdated, 2013) Yes 4 (per 180,000 pop.) 5.1% Absent Siloed implementation Marginally engaged through NGOs Dessie No enforceable bylaws Yes 2 (per 170,000 pop.) 3.4% Ad hoc coordination Excluded, work without PPE Debre Markos Yes (draft pending ratification) Limited staffing 3 (per 120,000 pop.) 4.7% Weak inter-bureau alignment Informal sector not mapped Debre Birhan Yes (2020) Yes (under Urban Services) 4 (per 140,000 pop.) 5.3% Moderate through joint task forces Largely unregulated Debre Tabor No No formal WMU 1 (per 80,000 pop.) 2.9% Nonexistent No formal engagement Woldiya Partial (in review) Basic unit exists 2 (per 100,000 pop.) 3.5% Weak Informal sector visible, unsupported Enjibara No No 0 <2.5% Nonexistent No policy linkage 3.3 Socio-economic and environmental consequences Poor solid waste management in Amhara’s cities has severe socio-economic and environmental impacts spreading diseases like cholera and malaria, polluting water bodies and farmland, worsening urban flooding, and degrading air quality. 17 – 19 Informal settlements suffer the most due to poor sanitation and exposure to unregulated dumping. Informal waste workers, mostly women and youth, operate without legal or health protections despite their vital role in recycling. 20 Without inclusive, coordinated reforms, public health risks, inequality, and environmental damage will escalate. Urgent action is needed to integrate informal actors, strengthen safeguards, and support green, equitable waste systems. 3.4 Intra-urban disparities In Amhara’s cities, solid waste services are deeply unequal formal neighborhoods receive regular collection, while over 70% of informal settlements lack access, leading to unsafe dumping and health risks. 21 – 23 In cities like Dessie and Kombolcha, informal workers operate without protection, facing high injury and disease risks. 24 Smaller towns struggle with poor infrastructure and weak municipal capacity. 22 , 25 – 27 These disparities rooted in systemic neglect and fragmented planning, demand urgent, inclusive policies to close service gaps and protect vulnerable communities and waste workers. 27 – 29 As shown in Figure 3 , waste generation has consistently outpaced service expansion from 2015 to 2024. Figure 3. Trend analysis on waste generation vs. service expansion (2015–2024) (Analyzed from 30 – 32 ) 3.5 Barriers to stakeholder engagement Urban solid waste management in Amhara is hindered by weak municipal commitment, poor coordination, and exclusion of key actors. 33 , 34 Informal waste pickers and cooperatives, despite their critical role, remain marginalized from formal systems, limiting innovation and equity. 24 , 27 Municipalities face financial and technical constraints that reduce stakeholder engagement and capacity-building efforts. 4 Community participation is low, especially in informal settlements, due to lack of sustained dialogue and awareness. 27 Private sector involvement is minimal, with regulatory hurdles limiting their role. 24 Youth-led cooperatives show promise but are constrained by funding and recognition gaps. 35 , 36 Addressing these challenges demands coordinated policies to build municipal capacity, integrate informal and youth actors, and incentivize private sector participation to ensure sustainable and equitable waste management. 4. Key findings ☞ Policy Implementation Gap: Most municipalities lack enforceable bylaws and operational guidelines, undermining the national solid waste policy framework. ☞ Institutional Fragmentation: Conflicting mandates between municipal, health, and environmental sectors cause operational inefficiencies and weak regulatory oversight. ☞ Capacity Constraints: Only 3 of 11 municipalities have dedicated environmental engineers; environmental health inspection rates fall far below global benchmarks. ☞ Chronic Underfunding: Waste management typically receives less than 5% of municipal budgets, restricting service expansion and infrastructure development. ☞ Data and Planning Deficits: Most cities lack real-time waste data, hindering evidence-based planning and monitoring. ☞ Public Health Risks: Poor waste disposal contributes to cholera, typhoid, and mosquito-borne outbreaks and exacerbates environmental degradation. ☞ Informal Sector Exclusion: Informal waste actors lack recognition, legal protection, and access to protective equipment or support mechanisms. ☞ Behavioral Barriers: Less than 10% of households engage in waste separation; community ownership and public participation remain minimal. 5. Policy implications ☞ Legislative reform is urgent: The absence of enforceable municipal bylaws and operational guidelines weakens the national policy framework, leaving solid waste systems vulnerable to legal ambiguity and inconsistent implementation. Clear, regionally adapted legislation is essential. ☞ Governance restructuring is needed: Institutional fragmentation undermines efficiency and accountability. Without clarified mandates and inter-agency coordination, efforts remain siloed, hampering holistic urban waste management and weakening public trust. ☞ Investing in human capital is critical: The severe shortage of skilled personnel, such as environmental engineers and health inspectors, limits municipalities’ ability to enforce standards and respond to public health threats. Capacity building must be prioritized. ☞ Sustainable financing must be secured: Chronic underfunding not only limits infrastructure development but also threatens the continuity of basic services. Increased and ring-fenced funding for waste management is essential to ensure reliable service delivery. ☞ Planning gaps undermine efficiency: Lack of real-time data weakens municipal planning, resource allocation, and monitoring systems. Digital data systems are crucial for responsive, data-driven decision-making and performance evaluation. ☞ Urban health is at stake: Inadequate waste disposal heightens the risk of disease outbreaks and environmental hazards, placing a heavy burden on health systems, especially in underserved communities. ☞ Exclusion of informal workers worsens inequality: The lack of legal recognition and protection for informal waste workers marginalizes a crucial labor force, missing an opportunity for inclusive, job-creating solutions in the green economy. ☞ Public engagement is essential: Without community participation and behavior change, top-down interventions will have limited success. Public education and incentives for household-level waste segregation are key to long-term success. These implications reinforce the need for urgent, systemic, and inclusive reform in urban solid waste governance in Amhara Regional State. 6. Policy alternatives and evaluation Urban solid waste management (USWM) in the Amhara Region suffers from systemic inefficiencies rooted in institutional fragmentation, underdeveloped infrastructure, and the persistent exclusion of informal waste actors. While Ethiopia’s national frameworks such as Proclamation No. 513/2007 and the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy provide high-level direction, implementation at the regional and municipal levels remains weak and inconsistent. To resolve these challenges and promote inclusive, efficient, and sustainable waste governance, this brief evaluates three viable policy alternatives and recommends a combined pathway that balances ambition with feasibility. Option 1: Incremental strengthening of current municipal waste management systems This option focuses on improving the performance of existing municipal systems without major legal or structural reforms. It calls for modest increases in budget allocation, standardization of enforcement, and use of digital planning tools such as GIS to enhance waste collection, monitoring, and public health risk mapping. Concrete actions: ☞ Increase annual municipal budgets for waste services. ☞ Revise and harmonize local sanitation and waste bylaws. ☞ Integrate digital waste tracking and GIS for real-time data monitoring. Merits: ☞ Builds upon existing institutional knowledge and operational structures. ☞ Requires limited legal reform, enabling faster adoption. ☞ Politically palatable, with minimal institutional disruption. Demerits: ☞ Offers only incremental improvements; unlikely to transform service equity or efficiency. ☞ Retains existing exclusion of informal waste workers. ☞ Remains vulnerable to political turnover and unstable funding flows. Implications: If adopted alone, this option risks prolonging inefficiencies, as it fails to address core governance issues. Improvements may be visible in service coverage but will likely remain unsustained and inequitable. Option 2: Formal integration of the informal waste sector into urban waste systems (Preferred option) This option prioritizes the legal and operational inclusion of informal waste actors particularly women and youth within formal municipal systems. By formally recognizing these actors through legal amendments, cooperative models, and public-private-community partnerships, municipalities can unlock grassroots innovation and inclusive employment while expanding recycling and reducing landfill pressure. Concrete actions: ☞ Amend municipal bylaws to legally recognize informal waste actors. ☞ Establish training, protective equipment provision, and microfinance access. ☞ Support the formation of cooperatives or social enterprises for collection and recycling. ☞ Build inclusive partnerships with NGOs and private firms to scale innovations. Merits: ☞ Enhances environmental outcomes through expanded waste recovery and recycling. ☞ Creates green, dignified jobs, especially for marginalized urban populations. ☞ Attracts donor and climate financing aligned with SDG and CRGE targets. Demerits: ☞ Demands sustained inter-agency coordination and capacity-building. ☞ May face resistance from formal operators or unions fearing competition. ☞ Requires upfront investments in systems, training, and behavior change campaigns. Implications: If implemented, this strategy can fundamentally shift waste governance toward inclusive sustainability. The environmental, economic, and social dividends particularly job creation and emissions reductions justify the upfront costs and coordination efforts. Option 3: Establishment of a unified legal urban waste coordination authority This bold institutional reform proposes the creation of a single, legally mandated coordinating body such as a Regional Waste Management Authority responsible for consolidating the fragmented mandates of health, environmental, and municipal institutions. The authority would oversee urban waste policy, planning, enforcement, and inter-agency collaboration. Concrete actions: ☞ Draft and enact regional legislation mandating the new authority’s formation. ☞ Redefine institutional roles to avoid jurisdictional overlaps. ☞ Develop integrated data platforms and M&E systems across departments. ☞ Establish vertical policy linkages between federal, regional, and municipal levels. Merits: ☞ Resolves mandate confusion and institutional rivalries. ☞ Strengthens enforcement, monitoring, and budget accountability. ☞ Improves coordination between planning, health, and environmental functions. Demerits: ☞ Requires high-level political commitment and legal reform. ☞ Could trigger resistance from departments facing reduced influence. ☞ Needs strong change management and transition planning. Implications: Adopting this option would lay the foundation for systemic reform, improving governance efficiency and service integration. If unaccompanied by inclusive engagement (e.g., informal actor integration), however, it may fall short of social equity goals. 6.1 Synthesis and strategic recommendation While each option presents distinct advantages, they also carry trade-offs in terms of feasibility, cost, and inclusivity. Option 1 provides low-hanging administrative improvements but fails to tackle the root causes of dysfunction. Option 3 delivers institutional clarity but may take years to fully implement. Option 2 , however, strikes a compelling balance by targeting environmental, economic and social objectives simultaneously making it the most transformative and inclusive path forward . Comparative analysis of these three alternative policies is given in Table 3 . Table 3. Comparative analysis of policy options (Policy option matrix). Criteria Option 1: Incremental Municipal strengthening Option 2: Integrate informal sector (Preferred) Option 3: Establish unified legal coordinating body Clarity of Focus Strengthens existing municipal services Legally recognizes and integrates informal workers Centralizes mandate to overcome fragmentation Measurability Improved collection efficiency, minor bylaw updates Trackable through formalization rates, recycling output Efficiency gains via unified enforcement metrics Feasibility Highly feasible using current capacities Moderately feasible with training and stakeholder input Moderate feasibility due to required legal reform Relevance to Problem Addresses municipal inefficiency, not system gaps Targets core equity, sustainability, and inclusion Directly addresses institutional fragmentation Timeframe Short-term (1–2 years) Medium-term (2–3 years with phased scaling) Medium to long-term (3–5 years; requires legislation) Advantages Politically safe; cost-effective improvements High impact; socially inclusive; aligns with SDGs Improves coordination, enforcement, and accountability Drawbacks Limited impact; doesn’t fix systemic governance Potential resistance; needs capacity-building Complex to implement; bureaucratic resistance possible Readiness to Implement Immediate requires minor procedural changes Preparatory work needed (legal, pilot models, training) Legislative drafting, clear mandate, interagency buy-in Recommendation Supportive but insufficient on its own Primary vehicle for inclusive reform Essential structural reform to sustain long-term gains Therefore, this brief proposes a hybrid strategy that: 1. Formally integrates informal waste actors (Option 2) —as a near-term intervention to enhance equity, reduce landfill loads, and unlock climate-linked financing. 2. Establishes a unified waste governance body (Option 3) —as a medium-term reform to harmonize mandates, coordinate enforcement, and consolidate fragmented institutions. 6.2 Barriers to implementation and strategic responses Effective implementation of inclusive and sustainable urban waste management policies in the Amhara region faces several structural, legal, financial, and behavioral obstacles. These challenges, if left unaddressed, risk undermining the transformative potential of proposed reforms. Table 4 below summarizes the most critical implementation barriers alongside tailored strategic responses designed to mitigate risks, enhance institutional coherence, mobilize resources, and foster public participation. The proposed responses are actionable, locally adaptable, and aligned with long-term urban development and climate resilience goals. Table 4. Summarizes of key barriers to implementation and strategic responses. Barrier Strategic response Institutional fragmentation Enact regional proclamation to mandate a unified authority Legal ambiguity for informal actors Amend municipal laws to codify recognition and regulation Resistance from vested interests Implement change management programs and transitional planning Budget constraints Leverage blended finance, carbon markets, and performance-based grants Low public engagement Launch community education campaigns and school-based programs Data gaps Build municipal GIS-based monitoring and evaluation platforms 6.3 Implications and call to action If fragmentation and informal sector exclusion persist, Amhara’s cities will face rising waste, health crises, and governance failures that threaten national goals. A coordinated system empowering local actors can create cleaner cities, green jobs, and better spending. Without reform, urban health will worsen, inequality will deepen, and investor confidence will decline. 6.4 Actionable recommendations Here are actionable recommendations based on the key findings of the policy brief: ☞ Strengthen legal and regulatory frameworks ✓ Develop and enforce updated local bylaws aligned with national solid waste policies to provide clear operational guidelines and accountability mechanisms. ☞ Enhance institutional coordination ✓ Establish inter-agency coordination bodies to harmonize mandates across municipal, health, and environmental sectors, improving regulatory oversight and service efficiency. ☞ Build technical capacity ✓ Recruit and train more environmental engineers and health inspectors to meet international standards and support effective waste management operations. ☞ Increase budgetary allocation ✓ Allocate at least 10% of municipal budgets to waste management to expand services, upgrade infrastructure, and sustain operational needs. ☞ Implement data-driven planning ✓ Introduce real-time waste monitoring systems and data management tools to support evidence-based decision-making and continuous performance evaluation. ☞ Mitigate public health risks ✓ Prioritize safe waste disposal practices and infrastructure improvements to reduce disease outbreaks and environmental contamination. ☞ Integrate informal waste sector ✓ Formally recognize and support informal waste workers by providing legal protection, access to PPE, training, and inclusion in municipal waste plans. ☞ Promote community engagement and behavior change ✓ Launch sustained public education campaigns and incentivize household waste separation to enhance community ownership and participation in waste management. These recommendations aim to close policy gaps, improve governance, and foster inclusive, sustainable solid waste management in Amhara’s urban centers. 7. Conclusion Amhara’s growing urban waste crisis demands bold, integrated reform. Incremental improvements alone are insufficient formal integration of informal waste workers and establishment of a unified legal authority offer the most impactful path forward. This dual-track approach fosters institutional coherence, social equity, and alignment with Ethiopia’s green growth goals, unlocking climate finance and green job opportunities. Without urgent action, fragmented services and urban inequalities will worsen. Now is the moment for policymakers to adopt inclusive, coordinated waste strategies that ensure healthier, more resilient cities for all. Data availability No data associated with this article.
