Abstract:
The EU-funded ROSA project (Resource-Oriented Sanitation concepts for peri-urban areas in Africa) proposed resources-oriented sanitation concepts as a route to sustainable sanitation. Within ROSA these concepts have been applied in four pilot cities: Arba Minch in Ethiopia, Nakuru in Kenya, Arusha in Tanzania, and Kitgum in Uganda. These cities each have a population between 40'000 and 500'000 inhabitants and represent typical cities in Eastern Africa. The paper describes the general concepts that form the basis for the ROSA project, describes the ROSA pilot cities and gives an outlook on the SSP ROSA special issue
