Ahrens, B. (2005) A Comparison of Wash Area and Soak Pit Construction The Changing Nature of Urban, Rural, and Peri-Urban Linkages in Sikasso, Mali

In this report, the relationship between geographic location, project implementation process, and ten factors were analyzed. In the urban case study, major influential factors included the presence of aid money, education, and concentration of pollution. The greater part of the urban project is carried out by the policy makers, indicating a “topdown” approach to development. In the rural case study, the major influential factors were […]

Kengne, I., Diaz-A., B. M., Strande, L. (2014) Faecal Sludge Management Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation

The previous chapters covered how stabilisation, drying, and pathogen reduction of faecal sludge (FS) can be achieved with different treatment technologies, and combinations of these various technologies. Each treatment technology results in endproducts which need to be further treated, disposed of, or harnessed for some type of resource recovery. Endproducts, for example dried or partially dried sludge, compost, leachate, and biogas, each have an intrinsic […]

Jenkins, J. (2005) A Guide to Composting Human Manure

“Human waste” is a term that has traditionally been used to refer only to human excrements, namely fecal material and urine, which are by-products of the human digestive system. When discarded, these materials are colloquially known as human waste. When recycled for agricultural purposes, however, they’re known by various names, including night soil (when applied raw to fields in Asia) and human manure or humanure. […]

Greening innovation and urban agriculture can bring dignity, empowerment and food sovereignty to refugee communities. Simple technologies and waste recovery make these techniques cost effective and adaptable. Both should be central to designing, implementing and sustaining both refugee camps and overcrowded urban areas. This report examines current and potential use of greening innovation and urban agriculture in refugee camps, cities and rural settlements in four […]
