Abstract
SCIL is a tool that allows local governments to self-assess their current capacities for developing and maintaining a sustainable solid waste management system. The index evaluates six essential components of solid waste management, including planning, policy and legal framework, financial management, service provision, human resources, and community participation. The document explains how SCIL works, its benefits, and provides contact information for further information.
