Abstract: “A public-private partnership (PPP) approach is essential to make the municipal solid waste management in Palestine more effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Presently more than 73% of joint service councils (JSCs) for solid waste management are conducting PPP. However, the current public-private partnership is mostly a "one-way" approach of just outsourcing from JSCs or public authorities to private firms. However, in the future, it will be required to be “two-way” approach in which the public and private sectors cooperate with each other to invest, operate, monitor, and evaluate the PPP project in a sustainable manner.”
