Unique Challenges of Improving Peri-Urban Sanitation

摘要

This document is intended to be an informational tool that helps projectdesigners better understand and confront the problems in improving sanitation in peri-urban areas. The ultimate goals of the report are to provide the reader with some key questions to ask, with information to gather as part of the planning and design process, and with suggestions about what basic approach to follow in setting up peri-urban sanitation projects. The document should be particularly useful for those project officers in the Agency for International Development (A.I.D.) and other international organizations who come to the urban sector with 'generalist' experience, or with previous experience in providing water and sanitation in either developed countries or in rural areas of less developed countries. The paper also should be helpful for technical specialists who assist with project development, particularly in ensuring that they become aware of issues in a wide range of subject areas other than their specialty.
