Abstract

The Services Platform of Yopougon (PFS-Yop) has set up an organic waste recovery center in Adiopodoumé for training, the promotion of sustainable peri-urban agriculture and the development of entrepreneurship in the District of Abidjan. However, this recovery initiative is marred by structuralorganizational problems which explain the demotivation and reluctance of the stakeholders in households solid waste management. The general objective of this study is to determine the factors limiting the control of households solid waste recovery in Adiopodoumé. The qualitative approach included ten semistructured interviews with five workers from Groupe Bio, the technical manager of the town hall, four representatives of the village community, and eleven focus groups of seventy-eight household members. The survey results revealed that the success of the organic waste recovery system involves adapting actions and results to socio-economic, health, and environmental challenges, but above all, strengthening awareness and involvement of stakeholders nationals. In this sense, the lack of communication, the lack of shelter, and the dysfunction in the remuneration of actors are perceived as demotivating factors in the managing the recovery of household solid waste in Adiopodoumé.
