Summary: Developing countries are facing significant challenges of urban and population growth, leading to a crisis in governance of essential public services. This study examines the electricity market in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, and finds that illegal connections to the electricity grid, uncontrolled urban growth, corruption, and poverty have severely damaged the electricity market, resulting in decreased quality and increased cost of electricity with distance from the city center. Therefore, privatizing the electricity sector could provide low-cost and high-quality electricity services.

Summary: The manufacturing of glass packaging is a resource-intensive process and there is limited research on the environmental impact of glass manufacturing in developing countries. In order to fill this research gap, this study conducted a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of glass packaging manufacturing in Pakistan. The results showed that extraction and processing of raw materials, as well as the glass production process, have the worst environmental impacts. Green glass was found to have the highest impact in various categories, such as global warming and ecotoxicity. The study also generated alternative scenarios and outlined important implications for the industry.
