conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Feliciano dos Santos, Lindsey BreslinEcological sanitation developed for the reuse of
human excrement was first introduced to the Niassa Province,
in Northern Mozambique through a workshop held
by the Department of Water and Sanitation and WaterAid
in March 2000.
ESTAMOS, a local Mozambican NGO, founded in
1998, and a partner of WaterAid’s decided to carry on with
the promotion of ecological sanitation initiated by the
Department of Water and Sanitation and WaterAid.
ESTAMOS decided to continue through a pilot project in
two small towns of Niassa Province, namely, Lichinga, the
capital of Niassa and Mandimba, a provincial border town
to Malawi. This paper will discuss ESTAMOS’ experiences
in promoting ecological sanitation with this pilot project,
problems encountered and recommendations for future
work in this area.
