* Covers all stages of the planning process* Unified urban
sanitation planning is a vital weapon in the war against diseaseThe
recent Johannesburg Earth Summit focused the world's attention on
the importance of good sanitation. This guide to strategic planning
for urban sanitation suggests options for approaching the
challenging task of improving sanitation for the inhabitants of the
rapidly growing towns and cities of the South. The specific focus
of the book is upon the needs of the poor and marginalized
communities who are the most likely to suffer from inadequate
sanitation services.The authors suggest the need for a step-wise
approach to sanitation planning, in which planning objectives and
the processes through which they are achieved are refined and
developed in the light of experience, taking into account available
information and a realistic assessment of available resources.The
main focus of the guide is on engaging with a wide range of
stakeholder groups to plan at the municipal level. It emphasizes
the need to spend time to "develop solutions" to sanitation
problems before attempting to plan citywide. However, there is no
one right place to start a strategic process, and planners and
activists must look for the opportunities that are open to them in
their existing situation. The guide therefore explores the action
that can be taken to create an improved context for planning and
for initiating improved planning processes at the local level,
which may eventually lead to more widespread change and
development.The guide includes a number of chapters devoted to key
aspects of the planning process, including creating and informing
demand, gathering and analyzing information, choosing an
appropriate technology, holding a participatory workshop and, last
but not least, following up on the plan.
