TLDR
It is argued that given the breadth of available technologies, a more systematic evaluation of the entire e-waste value chain needs to be conducted with a view to establishing integrated management of this resource at the appropriately local rather than global scale.About:

Inconsistencies of e-waste management in developing nations - Facts and plausible solutions
TL;DR: The review identified ten major shortfalls refraining the effective e-waste management, especially in the developing and under developed nations, including integration of the formal and informal sectors, mandated network registry, stringent law enforcements, regulated transboundary movements, manufacturers responsibility, consumer awareness and improved eco designs, investing on effective recycling facilities, and improved disposal facilities holds the key.

How are WEEE doing? A global review of the management of electrical and electronic wastes
TL;DR: Global amounts of WEEE will continue unabated for some time due to emergence of new technologies and affordable electronics; informal recycling in developing nations has the potential of making a valuable contribution if their operations can be changed with strict safety standards as a priority.
