Waste management in Senegal involves a three-tiered structure of national, regional, and local stakeholders. National ministries, particularly the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, are responsible for policy formulation and enforcement, including the 2020 Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Law. Regional responsibilities are led by SONAGED, which coordinates waste collection, infrastructure development, and stakeholder engagement. At the local level, municipal authorities, NGOs, and private actors contribute to service delivery, supported by international partners like the Islamic Development Bank. The legal framework includes the Environment Code (2001) and updated Plastic Law (2015, revised 2020), which bans certain plastic products, introduces a deposit-refund system, and enforces producer responsibility with financial and penal measures. The National Strategy for Solid Waste Management (2018–2026) aligns with national development plans to promote decentralization and sustainability. Waste sector reforms also aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, though some measures, such as bans on water bags, have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased public awareness is needed to support these initiatives and advance a circular economy.

摘要

Waste management in Senegal involves a three-tiered structure of national, regional, and local stakeholders. National ministries, particularly the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, are responsible for policy formulation and enforcement, including the 2020 Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Law. Regional responsibilities are led by SONAGED, which coordinates waste collection, infrastructure development, and stakeholder engagement. At the local level, municipal authorities, NGOs, and private actors contribute to service delivery, supported by international partners like the Islamic Development Bank. The legal framework includes the Environment Code (2001) and updated Plastic Law (2015, revised 2020), which bans certain plastic products, introduces a deposit-refund system, and enforces producer responsibility with financial and penal measures. The National Strategy for Solid Waste Management (2018–2026) aligns with national development plans to promote decentralization and sustainability. Waste sector reforms also aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, though some measures, such as bans on water bags, have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased public awareness is needed to support these initiatives and advance a circular economy.
