On-Plot Sanitation

This book presents the findings from Phase 2 of a DFID project (R4857) concerning the performance of on-plot sanitation systems in urban India, Ghana and Mozambique. It investigates how satisfactory on-plot sanitation is in the urban context, and presents guidance on its use for policy-makers and professional staff of urban governments, development agencies and non-governmental organisations.
Guidance is presented on situations in which particular sanitation technologies are appropriate. Five key areas of interest are examined: the absence of sanitation; user satisfaction; impact of plot size; operational problems; and latrine emptying.
Important cross-cutting issues reviewed include: socio-cultural factors, costs and cost recovery; institutional considerations; and the promotion of sanitation.
