Sanitation Workers Financial Insecurities A Case of Arusha Depot Group (ADG) Center for Community Initiatives (2024)
Sanitation work in Arusha plays a critical role in maintaining urban health and hygiene, but it has historically been underappreciated and, at times, stigmatized. The sanitation workers, oftenengaged in manual emptying, street sweeping, and sewer system maintenance, belong to an informal workforce that faces significant challenges, particularly financial insecurity and lack of recognition.
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the financial insecurity faced by sanitation workers in Arusha, with particular emphasis on manual emptiers. The findings, drawn from Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and Financial Diaries, paint a detailed picture of the daily financial challenges experienced by these workers, highlighting systemic issues, social stigmas, and the absence of formal support structures.
