- Urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry: Transcending poverty alleviation to climate change mitigation and adaptation (2014, background): “Thus, ecological management of water purification may provide useful strategies in many African cities, where often only a fraction of wastewater is treated if at all, for example, in Addis Ababa and Accra (Van Rooijen et al., 2010).”
