Water in Nairobi: Unveiling inequalities and its causes

Water and Sanitation in Nairobi face problem common to many cities of the developing world which grow too fast. This situation allows the stark differences in socio-economic between the wealthy and the poor to translate into unequal and inequitable consumption of the available water. To try to promo...

This situation allows the stark differences in socio-economic between the wealthy and the poor to translate into unequal and inequitable consumption of the available water. To try to promote development of Water and Sanitation in Africa, GWOPA (United Nations) and IFRA attempted to depict the inner urban inequities in terms of water consumption, water supply and water access.

La contribution présente les résultats d’un projet de recherche mené en partenariat entre l’Institut français de recherche (IFRA) de Nairobi et le Centre des Nations Unies pour les Établissements Humains (UN-Habitat). Elle s’intéresse aux inégalités d’accès à l’eau dans la ville de Nairobi. La croissance de la ville a été si rapide qu’elle a pris de court les autorités responsables de l’approvisionnement en eau potable et qu’elle a induit des inégalités socio-économiques et spatiales importantes. Utilisant une approche hybride mélangeant le traitement d’une image satellitaire, une enquête à l’échelle des ménages et les méthodes de l’analyse spatiale la contribution cartographie les nuances géographiques des performances de l’opérateur d’eau de la ville de Nairobi.
