Faecal sludge management in Africa: Socioeconomic aspects and human and environmental health implications
Jointly developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the research paper Faecal sludge management in Africa: Socio-economic aspects, human and environmental health implications explores current trends of faecal sludge management and how poor management practices worsen human and environmental health across Africa. Enhance wastewater management and sanitation services delivery, boost investments, and build upon best practices from the continent: the paper highlights some solutions and how improving faecal sludge management is fundamental to tackle the global sanitation crisis and achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
