The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the United Kingdom Department for international Development (DfiD) are collaborating to demonstrate how cities can use binding service level agreements and performance-based contracts with private sector partners as a way to ensure the city-wide delivery of sustainable sanitation services that are equitable and provide both private and public benefits.Under this joint initiative, eleven teams from South Asia and Africa were selected during early 2014. The teams went through detailed investigation in their cities, to identify the best way to manage fecal sludge by engaging private sector using performance based contracts at their selected cities, as the first phase of their work. Five out of the eleven teams received funding for their Phase 2 implementation. All of the eleven teams were invited to present their findings and plan for the second phase. In addition, to the eleven teams, other grantees were also invited who are working in several cities in Bangladesh, India and Ghana to join the meeting.

This compendium presents a range of technical options relating for collection, transport, treatment and disposal of fecal sludge in an emergency . It should be used as a guide to identify possible solutions for specific emergency situations and contexts. The final choice of options may need to combine different approaches and technologies and will depend on the phase of the emergency.Each technology option is presented according to its working principle, performance, estimated cost, applicability, operation and maintenance requirements and its main strengths and weaknesses.

Container-based sanitation (CBS) – in which wastes are captured in sealable containers that are then transported to treatment facilities – is an alternative sanitation option in urban areas where on-site sanitation and sewerage are infeasible. This paper presents the results of a pilot household CBS service in Cap Haitien, Haiti. We quantify the excreta generated weekly in a dense urban slum, the proportion safely removed via container-based public and household toilets, and the costs associated with these systems. The CBS service yielded an approximately 3.5-fold decrease in the unmanaged share of faeces produced, and nearly eliminated the reported use of open defecation and “flying toilets” among service recipients. The costs of this pilot small-scale service were higher than those of large-scale waterborne sewerage, but economies of scale have the potential to reduce CBS costs over time. The paper concludes with a discussion of planning and policy implications of incorporating CBS into the menu of sanitation options for rapidly growing cities.
