Waste management services come at a cost, which can ideally be partly recovered following a Polluter Pays approach. The understanding of the demographic characteristics of communities within the local authorities' operational area is vital for the delivery of accessible, affordable, relevant, acceptable and effective services. Angola is characterised by a large lifestyle gap between the elite and the poor. The current waste service programmes have been designed based essentially on known formal residential areas. The increasing informal settlements and their incorporation into the formal areas presents a great challenge to solid waste authorities who have to come up with alternative solutions.
