City-Wide Sanitation

SDI-CCODE

About

The SHARE-funded City-Wide Sanitation project is investigating the failures of conventional approaches to urban sanitation, many of which are described in SHARE’s Urban Sanitation Pathfinder paper.

A collaboration between SHARE partners International Institute for Environment and Development and Shack/Slum Dwellers International, the project is being conducted in four cities across sub-Saharan Africa: Blantyre (Malawi), Chinhoyi (Zimbabwe), Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania) and Kitwe (Zambia). It is using ‘action research’ to develop and test an approach to pro-poor city-wide sanitation strategies that can be adopted and driven by networks of community organisations and residents’ associations, and supported by public authorities and private providers.
