Waste management in Bamako's commune V is a growing challenge in a context of high urbanization, changing consumption patterns, and weak environmental infrastructure. The uncontrolled accumulation of household, industrial, and plastic waste has worrying health, social, and ecological consequences. Faced with this situation, raising public awareness of sustainable waste management appears to be a strategic response, both preventive and educational. The objective of this research is to analyze the Impacts of awareness-raising on responsible waste management in Bamako's Commune V. The study uses a mixed methodology combining quantitative population surveys and qualitative interviews. The results show that awareness-raising campaigns, whether led by public authorities, non-governmental organizations, or community stakeholders, aim to inform, educate, and mobilize citizens around responsible practices such as sorting, reducing waste at source, and recovering recyclable materials. However, the actual impact of these initiatives remains poorly documented, particularly in terms of sustainable behavioral changes among urban and rural populations.
