Methodology
The general approach of this research proposal focuses on exploring effective and operational linkages between the (peri)-urban agricultural and urban waste management sectors in Bamako and Ouagadougou, through application of urban organic waste products in agricultural production. After identification of the general developments and studying some specific issues in these two sectors, the constraints and potentials for linking of technical, organisational and institutional aspects are addressed. In addition necessary policies to facilitate effective linkages are identified and a number of development scenarios formulated.
