their different activities and responsibilities; and the inequalities

sanitation services.

This paper is based on the results of a number of UWEP case Maria Muller & Anne Schienberg
studies. Although these case studies concern a variety of waste WASTE
activities, it was possible to discern distinctions as to the Nieuwehaven 201
