The paper builds on a combination of relevant literature Review and specific local experience from two case studies (one rural district in Ethiopia and one other in Tanzaniea). In each district, a data collection campaign was planned in collaboration with Partner institutions to illustrate Major issues. In Ethiopia (Bora District), data was collected during May 2010 by INGO Intermon Oxfam jointly with staff from the […]
This document is available in English and French. The aim of this guide is to support contracting authorities, local decision-makers and their partners to develop their sanitation service by providing them with decision-making tools and practical methodological approaches. This guide will help these stakeholders determine whether non-conventional sewerage really is the most appropriate option for the area concerned. If this option is selected, it will also […]

The workshop participants were divided into two groups to discuss the existing material in the new book on Faecal Sludge Management. The first group was asked to focus on the chapters dealing with the FSM Technology issues while the second group focused on the Planning and Management chapters of the book. All workshop presentations are available on http://www.susana.org/en/resources/conference-materials-2/2015/265-fsm3-ws-4b
The workshop aimed at presenting, collecting and creating knowledge on the current state of art for faecal sludge quantification and characterization with the overall goal of working towards the design and development of appropriate faecal sludge treatment technology infrastructure. Standard accepted methods for sampling, analyzing and estimating flows of faecal sludge do not exist, which contributes to the high variability of observed results. Applied laboratory […]
Resource recovery is important to consider before choosing a method for faecal sludge treatment and management, to ensure technologies are adequately and appropriately designed to produce resource recovery products. The workshop covered a wide range of resource recovery opportunities from faecal sludge including composting, vermicomposting, protein, fodder and plants, building materials and biofuels. The speakers are acknowledged leaders in their fields, and have been chosen […]
