Abstract
Prior to the 2021 Aruban general election, Aruban waste management grappled with numerous challenges. Despite the efforts of various governmental bodies to implement diverse strategies for sustainable waste management, progress remained minimal over the years. This research aims to serve as an inspiration for current and future waste management stakeholders, encouraging the application of collaborative governance to explore its potential benefits in addressing past waste management issues in Aruba. The Main Research Question driving this research is: “How could collaborative governance have contributed to the sustainable waste management challenges in the island jurisdiction of Aruba prior to the 2021 Aruban General Election?”. The chosen research methodology is qualitative, involving semi-structured interviews with 12 participants, including stakeholders from governmental organizations, private organizations, semi-public organizations, and non-governmental organizations. Additionally, a thematic analysis approach was employed to examine themes within the theoretical framework established based on the literature review conducted at the outset of this research. The findings of this study suggest that effective implementation of collaborative governance could have
facilitated a more comprehensive and sustainable approach towards waste management in Aruba. This approach would have promoted collaboration, transparency, and the utilization of resources and expertise from various stakeholders, ultimately leading to more effective solutions for the waste management challenges faced by the island jurisdiction of Aruba.
