Community Attitudes and Framework for Neighborhood Clean-Up Programmes in Nairobi’s Slums: A Theoretical Analysis of Three Years’ Implementation

Neighborhood clean-up programmes have been implemented in Nairobi's slums to address waste pollution, focusing on reducing environmental contamination and improving public health. A qualitative approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with stakeholders including residents, local authorities, and NGOs in Nairobi's slums. The theoretical framework highlights the critical role of community involvement in the success of neighborhood clean-up initiatives, emphasising the need for ongoing dialogue and mutual understanding between stakeholders. Stakeholders should prioritise community education and active participation in decision-making processes to enhance the effectiveness of future programmes.
