Sani Tweaks Best Practices in Sanitation
Year: 2018
Publisher: Oxfam GB
Studies have shown that agencies are failing to properly consult or collect and act on feedback from the users of the latrines they build, leading many people – especially women and girls – to stop using those latrines as they find them inaccessible, unsuitable and/or unsafe. Consequently, this increases public health risks in emergency situations.
To address this, the Oxfam WASH team has developed a series of communications tools that seek to promote best practices in sanitation and ultimately provide universal guidance for the benefit of the sector. Derived from the Sani Tweaks Checklist, the following illustrations are intended to inform technical field staff, to encourage them to consult and listen to the users, and to inspire them to make continuous improvements to their designs. For it is these small ‘tweaks’ that will ultimately make the difference between whether a woman uses a latrine or not
