Juba, the capital, environmental pollution is now a serious issue in the city, which makes the citizens’ lives less sanitary and sometimes unsafe. As a result, the Juba City Council must create a strategy to enhance the effectiveness of the solid waste management initiatives inside each Block.

Primary data for the study were gathered via a semi-structured questionnaire. For this study, data in both quantitative and qualitative forms were gathered. Quantitative data was analyzed and presented in tables, charts, and graphs using descriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation. Using multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis, two forms of inferential statistics, the study examined the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. These were made with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0. The results of the study showed that the performance of SWM projects in Kator Block, Juba, South Sudan, was positively significantly impacted by stakeholder involvement.
