Urban municipalities often struggle to provide permanent sanitation to informal settlements, relying on temporary solutions like chemical toilets and VIP latrines. These often face issues such as high costs, poor maintenance, and community rejection, remaining in place long-term despite their shortcomings. This learning paper, Asivikelane’s insights highlight solutions to improve sanitation and address the lack of municipal planning for permanent infrastructure (PDF, 399KB).
