Abstract

The authors use analytical review methodology to examine integrated environmental management and sector specific policies in Nairobi and Mombasa, Kenya’s two biggest cities, to highlight the extent to which existing policies and practices cover the differential challenges of exposure to solid waste and associated health challenges for males and females across the life-course. This is an output from the Urban Africa: Risk Knowledge (Urban ARK) programme
