What is Advanced Locality Management ?

Advanced Locality Management (ALM) is a process that organizes and empowers the citizens of a small locality, based on residencies, businesses or recreational units, to self govern in partnership with the relevant local authorities, which will enable them to meet their needs, aspirations and values.

concept to manage the locality and its surroundings. Initiated by MCGM in the year 1997 with the Partnership between Citizens for sustainable & environment friendly waste management. Local management of solid waste by citizens who organise themselves to manage their waste . The garbage and filth of the area is segregated and removed with the active participation of local authorities and citizens. Various projects such as building a vermiculture plant, tree plantation drive and other beautification projects are undertaken. There are in all 648 ALMs along with 276 Vermi -compost pits spread over six zones of the MCGM's jurisdiction. An encouraging fact is that Women run 80% of these ALMs. The success of any ALM depends entirely upon people's participation.

How ALM differs from other Community Organizational Models ? Advanced The ability to take on diverse activities however complex they may be. Locality A unit that is small enough to enable homogeneity of issues, but large enough for impact. Management The ability to go beyond complaining, requesting and reporting while sustaining the process of finding solutions.

ISLAND CITY (strip of 24 sq km)

SUBURBAN AREA (north of the island city)

Genesis and Background

The focus waste minimization and segregation of waste at source. The ALM scheme was started in Joshi Lane, Ghatkopar. PROBLEM FACED : MCGM OPINION : SOLUTION : Principle of three Rs: reduce-reuse-recycle along with segregation of waste.

formation of a Street Committee and maintenance of vigilance to prevent littering. door-to-door waste collection speedy removal of segregated waste. In November 1997, the ALM scheme was formalized by the six Street Committees of Ghatkopar and was accepted by the Additional Municipal Commissioner of MCGM for implementation in Mumbai city.

Process of Formation Of An Alm:

The two parties in the ALM were: (i) The residents and shopkeepers of the locality. (ii) The administration of the MCGM. Following are the conditions for residents and shopkeepers to form an ALM:

Form a Local Committee (LC) with one representative from each chawl or building. The LC meets once a week & maintains a register to note the problems of the society. The residents to maintain two components of waste separate, wet-waste (biodegradable waste) and dry-waste (recyclable waste).

Process Of Formation Of An Alm

The following process was set up for the administration of the MCGM:
Registration of the ALM Society with the local Municipal Ward Office. A representative of the Ward Office addresses the first ALM meeting MCGM also takes help of local voluntary organizations to speed up the work.

A common fund is set up at the rate of Re 1 per apartment per day, collected on a quarterly basis
An ALM representative attends the monthly meeting

Scale of Project

The scheme started in July 1997 with only one locality as its participant. Later the number of societies registered in ALM scheme crossed 1000. The main target of the ALM system is the individual households and most of these are middle to high income households.

Financing mechanism

Each housing society registered under the ALM scheme contributes Re.1/- per day. Accounts related to peoples contribution are maintained by the housing societies themselves.

Institutional Framework / benefits

The MCGM appointed an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) for the purpose of educating people and creating awareness about the scheme Various NGOs who were already involved in work relating to local governance and groups of senior citizens involved in civic issues became a part of the ALM process.

The role of rag pickers in the overall solid waste management in keeping the city clean emerged as a result of ALM movement and MCGM.


rag pickers became more organized, received fairer prices to their collection, and better health and insurance services the institutional mechanism in the present case is formal with specific roles assigned to specific people no definite hierarchy in the management framework.

System of waste collection

The residents of the locality are the major players in waste management, being assisted by rag pickers, MCGM workers and the private operators,

depending on the area.

Technology Used

The wet waste is processed through vermi-culture to form compost at individual or community vermi composting units. Dry waste is collected by the rag-pickers and directly sold by them to the recycling units.

Innovation in Practice

An innovative approach in the management is the residents initiative to RRR, i.e. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. Zero Garbage situation. Reduced the burden of primary collection, transportation and disposal of waste which in turn has reduced the MCGM's expense on the waste disposal. The other feature of the scheme is that the housing societies/ communities are asked to register themselves with the MCGM, as prerequisite to the ALM scheme. Awareness programs have also been conducted in the localities and in schools with the help of local NGOs and CBOs.

Results achieved

The success of the ALM scheme in one community led to its widespread replication in other areas of the metro city. because of the concerted efforts by the municipal authorities. Beautification of the localities and maintenance of gardens, parks and roads. Maintenance of open spaces like the Juhu Beach etc. at the ward level Other activities such as tree plantation, prevention of encroachment on pavement and beautification of streets.
