dc.description.abstractStakeholder participation has been identified as one of the means through which the challenges of domestic waste management can be addressed. The objective of this study was to establish the influence of stakeholder participation strategies on domestic waste management in Biashara residential area. The study was guided by two theories; the stakeholder theory and the theory of waste management and applied a cross- sectional descriptive design using a total sample size to 383 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guides, analyzed using SPSS version 23 and results presented in percentages, frequency tables, Pearson correlation inferences to show the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables. The study concluded that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the various stakeholder participation strategies and improved domestic waste management; there is a moderately positive correlation between use of stakeholder partnerships in designating waste collection points and improved DWM (r=0.360, n=342, p=0.01) and strong positive correlation between stakeholder’s empowerment to recycle their waste and improved DWM (r=0.539, n=342, p=0.01). The study recommended that more education should be offered to the citizens on all the aspects of domestic waste management to enable them play their rightful role in domestic waste management.en_US
