This powerpoint presentation outlines innovations in sanitation in
developing countries. The presentation relates how direct benefits from sanitation are increasingly
recognized; but, unprecedented levels of demand exist and everyday a huge pollution burden of
2 million tons of human waste is
disposed of in water courses. A map is provided that shows the relative size of the MDG sanitation target for each country
based on the number of installations required through to 2015. The challenges facing the sanitation sector are listed, along with a recent paradigm shift that includes:
recent trends in sanitation focusing on demand driven approaches
for low cost sanitation facilities; and, the benefits arising from investment in demand responsive
approaches are likely to be greater due to more long run
sustainability and increased capture of drivers of demand such as
comfort and social status. Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is an approach that focuses on outcomes of defecation-free communities by
triggering collective behavior for the community as a whole. The core concept of igniting change is outlined, along with factors that make the CLTS approach different from the traditional approach. Addressing scale and ensuring sustainability, the need for social marketing for sanitation, elements of a marketing program, the reasons people want sanitation, implications of social marketing, the unknown impacts on health, sanitation and education, government expenditure, and sanitation technologies.
