Solutions & Opportunities
Hi and welcome back to the blog! To wrap up I'll be talking about some of the creative solutions I have come across that could be more ef fective than 'changing social behaviour' or only building toilets. Firstly, I will not deny that in some cases the issues are rather straightforward and so are their fixes. For example, Nakagiri in their study found that in Kampala, the majority of latrines were full (51%) or even overflowing (15%). Most were dirty (43%) and in their survey, 89% of respondents expressed the need to improve the state and performance of the latrines. They concluded that pit latrines in the urban slums of Kampala were overloaded. Suggestions were made for interventions to improve the pit latrine should tackle the design and operation, with specific suggestions for "minimising water inflows into the pit, increasing the air flow rate, minimising light in the superstructures."
