Improving the urban environment by developing and testing low cost sanitary solutions for Namibia's informal settlements.
The project aims on providing the first ever structured analysis of alternative sanitation solutions in Namibia?s informal settlements, identification of best practices, and implementing those best practices on a significant scale in informal settlements.
Field research will be conducted in informal settlements of seven sample towns and participatory testing of modelled sanitary solutions will be done with the involvement of local residents and authorities in three towns.
