This study aims to analyze the capacity of the Muna Regency Government in managing waste in Raha City by examining institutional structure, human resources, infrastructure, funding, and community participation. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection methods such as interviews, field observations, and document analysis.
