%X Cet article traite de l¡¯in¨¦galit¨¦ d¡¯acc¨¨s aux services publics urbains dans les pays en d¨¦veloppement et, plus particuli¨¨rement, de la question de l¡¯acc¨¨s au service d¡¯enl¨¨vement des ordures m¨¦nag¨¨res ¨¤ Abidjan. Cette question est ¨¦troitement li¨¦e au mouvement de centralisation, d¨¦centralisation et recentralisation qui a affect¨¦ la gestion de ce service au cours des derni¨¨res d¨¦cennies. Chaque ¨¦tape de l¡¯avanc¨¦e de la C te d¡¯Ivoire dans le processus de d¨¦centralisation a provoqu¨¦ des changements institutionnels dans la gestion des ordures m¨¦nag¨¨res ¨¤ Abidjan ; tous ont eu des effets sp¨¦cifiques sur l¡¯acc¨¨s de la population ¨¤ ce service. Ces effets sont ¨¦tudi¨¦s ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦chelle des communes et des quartiers ¨¤ travers une enqu¨ºte de terrain, et sont li¨¦s aux caract¨¦ristiques socio-¨¦conomiques des quartiers. Une analyse comparative entre deux communes de standing oppos¨¦, ainsi que l¡¯examen des aspects historiques de la probl¨¦matique, s¡¯attachent ¨¤ identifier les facteurs-cl¨¦s d¡¯une telle in¨¦galit¨¦ d¡¯acc¨¨s au service d¡¯enl¨¨vement des ordures m¨¦nag¨¨res ¨¤ Abidjan. This paper deals with the inequality of access to the urban public utilities in developing countries, and more accurately with the issue of the access to the waste collection in Abidjan. This question is closely linked with the centralization, decentralization and recentralization movements that affected this service management for the last decades. Each stage of the decentralization process in Ivory Coast brought institutional changes in waste collection management in Abidjan. Each of them had specific consequences on the access of people to this service. These consequences are investigated on a local scale and are linked to the socio-economic characteristics of the studied areas. Together with the focus on the historical aspects of the problematic, a comparative analysis between two districts of opposite standing attempts to identify the key factors of such an inequity of access to the waste collection service in Abidjan.
