In Kampala's slums, waste management is a pressing issue with significant environmental and social impacts. Existing systems are often inefficient and unsustainable, necessitating innovative approaches to address cost savings and community engagement. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative interviews with local stakeholders and quantitative analysis of existing data on waste management practices in the region. This theoretical framework provides a robust foundation for policymakers, businesses, and development organizations seeking sustainable waste management strategies that balance economic benefits with social inclusion. Policymakers should encourage the adoption of these business models through supportive policies and incentives. Businesses can leverage these insights to develop more effective waste management solutions tailored to local contexts.
