Voices of manual pit emptiers: their crucial role in FSM, challenges faced, and desired support Manual Pit Emptiers (MPEs) play a crucial role in urban sanitation. Sanergy, CAWST and PASA sought to focus on the work that MPEs do, the challenges they face and what support they need to improve their work.
Promoting the health, safety, and dignity of sanitation workers is an increasing priority within the WASH and labor sectors, but the perspective of MPEs is often absent due to heavy stigmatization and the informal nature of their work. We developed a MPE-centered approach to bring manual pit emptiers (MPEs) directly into the ongoing urban sanitation conversation. We conducted six focus group discussions (FGDs) in Senegal, […]
