Solid waste management (SWM) is becoming a major issue in most cities where the provision of such public service had hitherto been the sole responsibility of central government. However, the costs involved and the rate of waste generation have virtually forced city authorities to seek new arrangements with the private sector. This paper reviews public-private partnership (PPP) in SWM in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) and reveals that the policy worked well until one of the stakeholders failed to deliver. It maintains that harnessing the social support, acceptability and participation is key to sustainable PPP. The paper calls for institutional and private sector collaboration.
固体废物管理（SWM）正成为大多数城市的一个主要问题，在这些城市中，提供此类公共服务一直是中央政府的唯一责任。然而，所涉及的成本和废物产生的速度实际上迫使城市当局与私营部门寻求新的安排。本文回顾了大阿克拉大都市区（GAMA）的固体废物管理公私伙伴关系（PPP），并表明该政策运作良好，直到其中一个利益相关者未能兑现承诺。它认为，利用社会支持、可接受性和参与是可持续公私伙伴关系的关键。本文呼吁建立机构和私营部门的合作。
