In the face of urbanization, alternative
approaches are needed to deliver adequate and inclusive
sanitation services across the full sanitation service
chain. Container-based sanitation (CBS) consists of an
end-to-end service—that is, one provided along the whole
sanitation service chain—that collects excreta hygienically
from toilets designed with sealable, removable containers
and strives to ensure that the excreta is safely treated,
disposed of, and reused. This report builds on four case
studies (SOIL – Haiti, x-runner – Peru, Clean Team – Ghana,
Sanergy – Kenya) to assess the role CBS can play in a
portfolio of solutions for citywide inclusive sanitation
(CWIS) services. The authors conclude that CBS approaches
should be part of the CWIS portfolio of solutions,
especially for poor urban populations for whom alternative
on-site or sewer-based sanitation services might not be
appropriate. Customer satisfaction with existing services is
high and services provided by existing CBS providers are
considered safe but have some areas for improvement. While
the proportion of total CBS service costs covered by
revenues is still small, CBS services are considered to be
priced similarly to the main sanitation alternatives in
their service areas. Recommendations include adopting a
conducive policy and regulatory environment and exploring
ways to ensure that CBS services are sustainably financed.
The report also identifies areas for further analysis. |
