Learnings from implementing the excreta flow diagram (SFD) process in Kumasi
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Claire Furlong, Anthony Mensah, Emmanuel Donkor, Rebecca E. ScottExcreta, Faecal or Shit Flow Diagrams (SFDs) are away to clearly represent how excreta flows along
the sanitation service chain. This approach has already gained popularity and many SFDs have already
been produced. To date little attention has been paid to the methods and data used, or the credibility of
the SFDs. The SFD Promotion Initiative has created a tool to enable the wider roll-out of SFDs, which
includes a credibility assessment. The product is a report on service delivery context with an embedded
SFD. This briefing paper discusses the lessons learnt from trialling the tool and process developed
through this initiative, in the city of Kumasi (Ghana). The most important lesson learnt is that
stakeholder engagement is critical not only for obtaining credible data, but also for validating the SFD
produced.
