Factsheet 12: An Ecological Approach to Sanitation in Africa: A Compilation of Experiences (PDF 159 KB)
"Eco-logical sanitation embraces a phi-losophy which the users must believe in and practice daily. Such an under-standing and practice takes time to fulfil."
the toilet system itself must be thought of, not so much as a dis-posal system, but as a processing unit;
Practical information is urgently needed which will allow those living in rural, peri-urban and even some urban areas of Africa to build and practice the art of recycling nutrients from their own excreta in order to gain better crops and vegetables in their own back gardens....
..It should be remembered that all these eco-toilet systems require a degree of management which is far more demanding than required by users of the normal deep pit latrine or even the flush toilet. This may not always be clearly understood at first. Thus practical hands-on training and dem-onstration are vitally important.
