Methodology to compare costs of sanitation options for low-income peri-urban areas in Lusaka, Zambia von Münch, E., Mayumbelo, K.M.K. (2007)
Urban slums and low-income peri-urban areas in developing countries are characterised by a lack of infrastructure. The absence of sustainable sanitation systems is one of the causes that can lead to a high level of water-borne diseases in these areas, especially during the rainy season. This paper presents a methodology for cost comparisons of sanitation system options with a focus on excreta management (a sanitation system consists of the household toilets, collection and transport of excreta, treatment and storage, and transport of sanitised excreta to reuse sites). Greywater collection and treatment are excluded from the analysis for simplicity reasons.
