Summary: | Urban sanitation remains a significant
challenge for most low- and middle-income countries. While
sanitation coverage has been increasing across both the 48
least developed countries (LDCs) and developing regions as a
whole, progress has been relatively slow. In many cities,
even where improved on-site facilities are used to contain
excreta, the level of quality and access to services for the
emptying, conveyance, treatment, and disposal of the
resulting fecal sludge is usually limited. These services
are collectively called fecal sludge management (FSM)
services. FSM services are the focus of this study, within
the broader context of urban sanitation and integrated urban
water management (IUWM). This document provides a summary of
the diagnostic tools developed for assessing FSM services
and is based on field work carried out in the five cities of
Balikpapan in Indonesia, Dhaka in Bangladesh, Hawassa in
Ethiopia, Lima in Peru, and Santa Cruz in Bolivia. It
summarizes the tools themselves, lessons learnt about their
use, and general policy recommendations. |
