The sanitation programmatic area covers faecal disposal/management and is mainly concerned with ending open defecation and drastically increasing the rural sanitation coverage to engender the anticipated health outcomes which have illuded various sanitation interventions in developing countries over the past decades. These will be achieved through deliberate implementation of the following strategies.
- Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS)
-
Liquid Waste Management / Household Latrine Promotion and Construction
- Solid Waste Management
Working to ensure that low cost but appropriate technological solutions for sanitation are are widely available, accepted and adopted at scale while re-orienting households to see improved latrines as an essential infrastructure of a house will help bring about health benefits especially for children under 5 who remain the most vulnerable population segment of faecal-borne morbidity and mortality in developing countries.
