WG 10 - Operation and maintenance

WG 10 Introduction

Many sanitation projects have failed in the past because they focus primarily on the installation of hardware (e.g. toilets, treatment facilities, etc.) only. Key factors for achieving sustainability include both appropriate sanitation hardware but also suitable operation and maintenance, for all steps in the sanitation chain, i.e. including the collection, transport, treatment and reuse and/or final disposal of the different sanitation products.

Leads

The lead of this working group is Günter Langergraber and the co-lead is Jennifer Green:
