Small-scale sanitation scaling up (4S)

2015 - 2018 • EAWAG (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology)

Purpose

The project seeks to provide sound empirical evidence for future small-scale sanitation sector investments in South Asia

Activities

Eawag/Sandec is partnering with the Indian Institute of Technology (Chennai) and BORDA, Germany to carry out the first systematic assessment of small-scale sanitation systems in South Asia funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The main goal of the project is to provide evidence-based policy recommendations for improved system design, operation and maintenance (O&M) and monitoring to inform strategic financial decision making and effective institutional arrangements and, thus, contribute to the increase of sanitation coverage in South Asia.

The project, based in Bangalore, focuses on India, especially the States of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, as well as Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
