Building institutional capacity for sanitation
Kathleen Shordt | Marielle Snel
This article discusses key challenges that continue to marginalize the sanitation sector. It reflects on lessons from some experiences that may have implications for institutional development. It identifiesgaps and suggests actions to address these. 'Sanitation', as used here, refers to technologies that are on-site or lower-cost (such as latrines and small-bore sewerage). As construction is only one small
part of the sanitation spectrum, the article also refers to the motivation, the demand, cost and behavioural factors required for implementation, use and maintenance of sanitation facilities.
