Abstract

This study was an integrative synthesis of the policy priorities and strategies stipulated by the major solid waste management (SWM) policies in Kenya since independence. The study also examines how they address SWM associated health outcomes.

The synthesis addressed the evolvement, devolvement and segmentation of solid waste management policies as well as the institutional mechanisms for policy processes and external policies shaping the policy landscape.
