Selection, Design, and Implementation of Economic Instruments in the Solid Waste Management Sector in Kenya: The Case of Plastic Bags

This report examines and discusses the use of economic instruments for environmental management in Kenya and, using UNEP guidelines, develops an environmental policy package to address a specific solid waste management problem. The broad objective of the report is to equip policymakers, planners and other stakeholders with the techniques and methodologies required to develop and apply appropriate economic instruments for solid waste management. Central to this project was the establishment of an effective multi-stakeholder process involving public sector institutions, the private sector, universities, and civil society, among others, in order to ensure broad consensus and support for implementation of the final package of policy proposals.
