SDG indicator 11.6.1
Proportion of Municipal Solid Waste Collected and Managed in Controlled Facilities, out of Total Municipal Solid Waste Generated, by City
Measuring SDG indicator 11.6.1 will provide an essential data and information for action planning for the improved MSW management in your city. The monitoring methodology is launched as “Waste Wise Cities Tool”.
It will help cities:
- Assess MSW generated, collected and treated in controlled facilities
- Identify the MSW recovery chain and its actors while engaging them in an inclusive and participatory way
- Check the environmental control level of waste management facilities
- Establish better waste and resource management strategies that create business and livelihood opportunities
- Provide data for large WM infrastructure investment cases to municipal corporation, waste stakeholders and investors and
- Project development and funds mobilization
ACCP supports member cities to apply Waste Wise Cities Tool and action planning based on the data and information collected through it.

City’s message
Waste management has been one of the pressing issues in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. UN-Habitat’s survey with the Waste Wise Cities Tool, supported by the African Clean Cities Platform, was well received considering that the Nairobi City County Government had been relying on a study done with the Japan International Cooperation Agency back in 2010.
With the national census conducted in 2019, the UN-Habitat survey was timely to update the City’s waste management database. The newly established Nairobi Metropolitan Services is now developing a Solid Waste Management Action Plan 2020-2022 based on these results.
