Abstract
The Urban Affordable Clean Toilets (U-ACT) project, headed by the Centre for Development and Cooperation (NADEL) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ), aims at overcoming the constraints to private sanitation investment in poor urban areas. Field research was conducted in 40 randomly selected low-income areas of Uganda’s capital Kampala where people rely on on-site sanitation. The sanitation situation in these urban Slum zones is characterised by a high number of users per toilet, and full or overflowing latrines that are not regularly emptied. The U-ACT project activities include the construction of ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines. This factsheet provides Information on the construction and cost details. Mehr anzeigen
