Projects on sanitation
Projects on sanitation in which IRC is involved.
SHAW
The 2010 - 2014 Sanitation, Hygiene And Water (SHAW) project is carried out within STBM, Indonesia’s national programme for Community-Led Total Sanitation with five ‘pillars’ on sanitation and hygiene practices. Within STBM, SHAW is looked at further developing Indonesia’s innovative approaches to promoting, monitoring and documenting behavioural change in sanitation and hygiene and building district and village capacities for developing, implementing and managing well-sustained district-wide sanitation and hygiene programmes.
LeaPPS Uganda [completed]
LeaPPS contributed to improved sanitation and hygiene programmes by sharing and learning at district and local levels. This programme ran in four districts of Uganda: Kyenjojo, Kamwenge, Arua and Koboko and has been completed.
Sanitation and livelihoods
Sanitation can play a role in people's livelihoods in a number of ways, through the reuse of wastewater, or of dried human faeces. The WASPA (wastewater agriculture and sanitation for poverty alleviation) programme looks particularly at wastewater reuse.
UN-Habitat-SCP-BUS
The UN-Habitat Sustainable Cities Programme has a component on Basic Urban Services, i.e. sanitation and water services. IRC is taking the lead on this Basic Urban Services (BUS) for the period 2003-2008. The emphasis will be on demonstration and scaling-up processes in several cities in different countries, the anchoring of strategies, methods and approaches in local institutions for future capacity building, and the documenting, sharing and using of these different experiences and lessons learned.
