ANALYSE DE LA VIABILITE DES ONG DE COLLECTE DES ORDURES SOLIDES MENAGERES DE LA COMMUNE DE PARAKOU (NORD-EST BENIN)

Waste collection system is inefficient in Parakou (Northeast, Benin), as only 10 to 15 % of the household waste produced is collected. The NGOs involved in the sanitation of this city, are major players in the collection of waste. This study aims to analyze the economic and technical viability of these NGOs. To this end, 12 NGOs were surveyed from which the data collected were related to the costs and revenues of the waste collection activity, the number of workers in the activity, transport equipment and work tools. The results of a hierarchical classification analysis followed by a Mann-Whitney test, showed that most NGOs (58, 34%) found themselves in the non-viable class characterized by NGOs which cannot renew and multiply their equipments and tools of work. As for economic viability, the cost benefit ratio revealed that only 41, 66% % of NGOs are viable. The Mann-Whitney test exposed that the costs of non-viable class are significantly higher than those of the viable class. It would be necessary to support and assist NGOs taking into account their technical and economic aspects.
