N1 - Funding Information:
We are grateful to all the members of the ISSOWAMA consortium for contributing to the development of this assessment tool and for allowing to collate all the wealth of shared knowledge and experience into this method. All our project partners are listed under www.issowama.net . We would especially like to thank Yayasan Pemilahan Sampah Temesi for allowing us to analyse its project and for providing all the necessary information and documentation. Moreover, the authors wish to express their gratitude to Prof. C. Collivignarelli at the research centre CeTAmb at the University of Brescia, Italy for his continuing support. Finally we thank the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) North-South, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) and the EU-FP7 for financial backing of the project.

N2 - According to most experts, integrated and sustainable solid waste management should not only be given top priority, but must go beyond technical aspects to include various key elements of sustainability to ensure success of any solid waste project. Aside from project sustainable impacts, the overall enabling environment is the key feature determining performance and success of an integrated and affordable solid waste system. This paper describes a project-specific approach to assess typical success or failure factors. A questionnaire-based assessment method covers issues of: (i) social mobilisation and acceptance (social element), (ii) stakeholder, legal and institutional arrangements comprising roles, responsibilities and management functions (institutional element); (iii) financial and operational requirements, as well as cost recovery mechanisms (economic element). The Gianyar Waste Recovery Project in Bali, Indonesia was analysed using this integrated assessment method. The results clearly identified chief characteristics, key factors to consider when planning country wide replication but also major barriers and obstacles which must be overcome to ensure project sustainability. The Gianyar project consists of a composting unit processing 60. tons of municipal waste per day from 500,000 inhabitants, including manual waste segregation and subsequent composting of the biodegradable organic fraction.
