HIGHLIGHTING QUALITY TOOLS FOR EFFICIENT SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CONAKRY

This study addresses the problem of the management of urban services in charge of solid waste management in African cities and particularly focuses on the role of quality management in solving the problems of solid waste management in Conakry. The hypothesis is that the absence of a quality management system contributes to unsanitary problems. The objective of this study aims to propose an adapted solid waste management model for Conakry. The results obtained following the empirical research method (observation, documentary exploitation and semi-structured interview), are aligned with other research on an African and global scale suggest solutions for better urban environmental governance. Indeed, a new management model, the MKT-LIMSO (Maningbe Kaba TRAORE-Integrated Strategic and Operational Management Logigram), has been proposed, integrating various tools for more effective management. The recommendations include continued research on waste flows, strengthening environmental education, integrating new public management, training actors in the solid waste sector, and promoting innovation towards an economic circular. The establishment of taxes, standards and the sharing of management between municipalities are also proposed to improve the situation.
