Children, waste and well-being: A critical analysis of socio-environmental justice in almajirai solid waste management in Northern Nigerian Cities
Context: Whereas academic discourse on socio-environmental justice
(SEJ) globally has focused on race, ethnicity and wealth, and gender
inequalities, research on SEJ in relation to children, their well-being
and waste management in Africa has remained neglected.This paper
focuses on the Almajirai, children in the Islamic educational system,
and critically examines SEJ in Almajirai involvement in the solid waste
management (SWM) system of cities in northern Nigeria. Data Source and
Method: The study is situated in the city of Zaria, Kaduna State,
Nigeria. Mixed methods approach used for data collection included
consultations with key stakeholders, ethnographic and field
observations; key informant interviews (KIIs), questionnaire survey of
350 respondents sampled purposively, and a critical review of
literature. Percentages were utilized for analysis of quantitative data
while quotations and transcriptions were made from interviews.
Findings: Findings indicate that while many Almajirai contribute to
environmental well-being through collection, disposal and recycling of
waste, they often suffer unbridled socio-environmental injustice in
their quest for a livelihood and also for their perceived association
with insecurity in northern Nigeria. Conclusion: In the light of the
findings and the overarching juvenile-related sustainable development
goals (SDGs) targets, the paper rethinks the role of Almajirai in SWM
while articulating possible policy benefits of scaling up engagement
with Almajirai in the post-2015 development era.
