Projects on sanitation in which IRC is involved.
LeaPPS

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.
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.

Woman, Wellbeing, Work, Waste and Sanitation, known as 4WS, is an action research project on alternative strategies of environmental sanitation and waste management for improved health and socio-economic development in peri-urban coastal communities in South Asia.
