Abstract

Juba City councils establish and strengthen a fee collection system for securing financial resources and establishing transparent and systematic budget compilation, execution, and reporting processes to stabilize and restore the finances of Solid Waste Management. In the mid-term plan by 2025, the current fee collection system is planned to be reviewed, and systematic budget management using independent accounts is introduced. The fee collection from households by the blocks and quarter Councils and the department of environment and sanitation of Juba City Council strengthen the fee collection for market and commercial waste collection, it is strengthening the waste collection system of Juba through the procurement of waste collection vehicles by the JICA Grant Aid Project and relation-building with the private sector. Following the plans, it is important to secure the financial resources by strengthening the fee collection system. The findings of the study showed that (66.7%) of the respondents are willing to pay for solid waste management services in Juba from 2000 – 4000 SSP per household, per month. According to the survey conducted by JICA (2020), approximately 80% of the residents were willing to pay for the wastes collection fees and the results showed that 430 SSP per household, per month would be appropriate and the average monthly income of the residents in the study area was 5,200 SSP, which represents about 8% of their monthly income. The Department of Environment and Sanitation of Juba City Council has an independent account specialized in Solid Waste Management, but they don’t make good use of the account. It is recommended to improve the transparency of the budget including revenue and expenditure, by using the account. In the long-term plan by 2030, it is planned to introduce a budget assessment for the transparency and sustainability of the budget requested to understand the whole SWM activities in Juba, it is important to compile the annual report and the annual plan for the following fiscal year on SWM every year (SWM Master Plan in Juba, 2020).
