Community development approaches in provision of sanitation services to the poor : a comparative study of the urine diversion sanitation programme in South Africa (Mnini) and Zimbabwe (Chihota)

Providing sanitation to poor communities entails delivering services to people that are
marginalized in many aspects; the social, economic and political. The challenge to design
sanitation projects that address the utmost need of the poor and are economically and
environmental sound is enormous. Urine Diversion (UD) system is a sanitation
technology that separates urine from human excreta. UD technology, offers potential
solutions for some of the economic and ecological challenges generated by the
conventional sanitation technologies. However, to make this technology work and
acceptable effective sanitation approaches that work well at grassroots are required. This
thesis highlights fundamental processes and principles that can help in designing and
implementing effective UD sanitation projects. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2007
