Paper: Gender- and poor-inclusive community-managed sanitation and hygiene in urban Indonesia

This paper gives an overview of a project in Indonesia on urban sanitation. The programme assisted a dozen cities to improve sanitation in a wider sense: safe disposal of human excreta and waste water, local drainage, solid waste management, and promotion of proper hygienic practices. The programme was demand-based, as the cities bring in their own human and financial resources, but get technical assistance for sanitation situation assessment and mapping, sanitation strategy and programme development and the search for additional resources for accelerated implementation.
