Its improper and inadequate management leads to substantial negative social and environmental impacts. The problem has been aggravated due to ineffective institutions and lack of responsible and incapacitated autanomous public bodies. This paper therefore, presents institutional analysis of waste l17anagment system in Addis Ababa. It aims to review the rules in use, implementation capacitites of waste managment-organs and-to asses the existing ol'ganizalional setups of waste management and environmental protection organs in the city.

Furthermore, various policy documents reviewed and in order to supplement it checklists employed to assess the rules in use, inter-linkage and the capacity levels of organizations. In the city, the core of the problems of waste management are absence of clear roles and responsibilities among competent organs, recurrent organizational restructuring and inadequate institutional, organizational and individual capacity. Among others, varied economic nature of solid and liquid waste management aggravates the problems. Furthermore, poorly functional intelplayexists in the absence of accountability and responsibility of organs.
