description This paper is aimed at studying the environmental health efficiency of solid waste management in Bor Town, South Sudan. Many studies have been carried out about efficiency of solid waste management in many developing countries, but no such study has been done in Bor Town so far. In light of the increasing urban population, the chronic absence of data on domestic solid waste management practices, lack of waste management facilities, weak institutional capacities and inadequate financial resources, the households and the municipality are finding it difficult to efficiently management solid waste in Bor town. To meet the objective, the study have assessed the existing waste management practices, determine waste generation rate and composition as per income groups, develop the performance indicators and apply these indicators in assessing the capacity of waste management institution in managing solid waste effectively.
