Background of the Study
Waste management has become an increasingly critical issue in urban and rural areas across Nigeria, as rapid population growth and urbanization put pressure on waste disposal systems. In many communities, women’s groups have taken an active role in promoting environmental sustainability through waste management initiatives. In Zuru LGA, Kebbi State, women’s groups have been instrumental in promoting waste collection, recycling, and awareness-raising activities. These groups play a pivotal role in creating local solutions to waste management challenges, leveraging their networks to ensure that waste is properly disposed of and recycled. This study will explore the role of women’s groups in waste management in Zuru LGA, assessing their contributions, challenges, and effectiveness in improving environmental sanitation (Ali & Haruna, 2024).
