Roles of waste management in Juba city, South Sudan
Authors

Abstract
Juba City, the capital of South Sudan, is experiencing a severe waste
management crisis fueled by rapid urbanization, population growth, and weak
infrastructure. This study uses secondary data to assess the composition,
collection practices, and impacts of waste in Juba. Findings show that only 2.6%
of the city’s waste is properly managed, with organic and plastic waste
comprising the largest share. Poor disposal practices, including open dumping
and burning, have led to environmental degradation, blocked drainage, and
rising health risks such as cholera and respiratory infections. The study
highlights the need for policy enforcement, improved infrastructure, recycling
initiatives, and community awareness to promote sustainable waste management
and urban resilience.
