dc.description.abstractA policy framework for solid waste management is embedded in the Kenyan Constitution 2010. This is designed to ensure that citizens enjoy the right to a clean and healthy environment. Even though the policies are considered adequate to guarantee proper solid waste management in Kenya, county governments grapple with solid waste management. Available policy frameworks have not translated to improved solid waste management in major cities and municipalities such as Wajir Municipality. This study, therefore, assessed the effect of stakeholder involvement on successful execution of SWM policies in the Municipality of Wajir. The study was anchored on the integrated sustainable waste management model. It adopted an explanatory study design. The study population was all 404 employees of the Municipality of Wajir at all management levels. Sample size was 201 employees from this municipality. Both descriptive and inferential analysis were used to examine the data. The study found that involvement of stakeholders in the implementation of these policies had a positive and significant impact. In particular, the frequency of municipal dialogue and consultative meetings with important solid waste management stakeholders, the frequency of stakeholder education and awareness campaigns on solid waste management, and the prompt feedback given to these stakeholders for their participation in solving key problem areas. The study concluded that stakeholder involvement is a pertinent institutional determinant of the implementation of solid waste management policies in Wajir Municipality. The study recommended the need for regular and sustained stakeholder education and awareness campaigns on solid waste management.en_US
