dc.description.abstractAs the country experiences rapid economic growth and burgeoning urban population, an increasing amount of solid waste is generated in every major city especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Physical limitations are obstacles to efficient waste collection: in Ho Chi Minh City, almost three quarters of households are located in narrow alleys, to which large vehicles cannot gain access. Small, independent collectors are able to collect the waste, creating employment for 3,000 people. Community groups can play an important role in the accountability of infrastructure institutions through consumer participation or through participation in monitoring and evaluation.en
