Key documents for the sub-category on UDDTs at schools (urine-diverting dry toilets)
forum.susana.org/forum/categories/10-gen...d-sub-category-level
++++++++++++++
This thread is a "sticky thread" which means it will always remain at the top of this sub-category. It contains a recommendation and orientation for newcomers regarding the most important five documents and website links in this thematic area.
Recommended top five documents in the thematic area of "UDDTs at schools (urine-diverting dry toilets)", in reverse chronological order:
(1)
Panesar, A., Roach, E., Wendland, C., Wienpahl, I., Schlenk, J., Toetzke, J. (editors) (2015). Making WASH in Schools more Sustainable (Volume II). Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA), Eschborn, Germany
www.susana.org/en/resources/library/details/2320
Some of the projects presented in this document (and in Volume I ) deal with UDDTs at schools.This publication is the second volume of "Making WASH in Schools ore Sustainable". Similar to Volume I, it showcases various approaches, both practical and innovative, to provide sustainable WASH solutions in schools around the world. The stories are not limited to the construction of water and sanitation systems but also show how these systems are operated and maintained through active involvement of pupils, teachers, cleaning staff and community members.

Pynnönen, K., Tuhkanen, T., Rieck, C., von Münch, E. (2012). Two years after donor funding ended: Success factors for schools to keep their urine-diverting dry toilets (UDDTs) clean and well maintained. 4th International Dry Toilet Conference, Tampere, Finland
www.susana.org/en/resources/library/details/1609
Nine schools were selected and visited in Nyanza and Western Provinces in Kenya in early 2012 in order to evaluate the performance of urine-diverting dry toilets (UDDTs)implemented between 2008 and 2010. Results indicated that benefits gained from the UDDTs were an important factor for ongoing motivation and success: the new UDDTs were in principle preferred to the old pit latrines in all the monitored schools, as they are comfortable to use, clean, not smelly and there was no risk of collapse of the toilet structure.

Wendland, C., Deegener, S., Jorritsma, F. (2011). Experiences with urine diverting dry toilets (UDDTs) for households, schools and kindergarten in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA). Published in EcoSan Club Sustainable Sanitation Practice (SSP) Issue 6, Article 3, pp. 16-22, Ecosan Club Austria
www.susana.org/en/resources/library/details/970
This paper presents experiences with the implementation of urine diverting dry toilets (UDDTs) in the EECCA countries. In total 960 individual, 50 school and kindergarten and 7 public UDDTs have been implemented. Experience based indications are given related to the success factors for acceptance of the individual toilets and for school sanitation projects.

Deegener, S., Wendland, C., Samwel, A., Samwel, M. (2009). Sustainable and safe school sanitation - How to provide hygienic and affordable sanitation in areas without a functioning wastewater system.

www.susana.org/en/resources/library/details/714
Compared to conventional toilets, UDDTs offer the possibility to explain the pupils in combination with the hygiene education the inter-linkages between ecology, agriculture, nutrient- and water-cycles. Through its pilot demonstrations of school toilets, WECF has shown that the situation can be improved with fewer financial resources compared to the installation of flush-toilets. No infrastructure such as central water supply or sewerage system is needed for the operation of the UDDT.

Ingle, R., Rieck, C., von Münch, E. (2009). Experiences with Ecosan Systems to provide Sustainable Sanitation for Schools in Kenya and India. Paper presented at the 3rd International Dry Toilet Conference 2009, Tampere, Finland
www.susana.org/en/resources/library/details/898
Several ecosan school projects from Kenya and India are described in this paper namely two school pilot projects within the EU-Sida-GTZ Ecosan Promotion Project in Kenya and several projects in India implemented by the Ecosan Services Foundation and various other actors. In all these projects, a sense of ownership and constant capacity development exercises are crucial factors in their success.
You can find further important documents and website links dealing with this topic here:
- Documents in SuSanA library: Filter by the setting "School sanitation" and by the technology "Urine diversion dehydration toilets (UDDTs)" which brings up these documents: www.susana.org/en/resources/library?vbl_...=22&vbl_7%5B28%5D=28
- Filter the SuSanA case studies by the setting "School sanitation" and by the technology "Urine diversion dehydration toilets (UDDTs)" which brings up following 17 results: www.susana.org/en/resources/case-studies...=22&vbl_7%5B28%5D=28
- Put as a search terms "UDDT" and "school" in the SuSanA library search field, which brings up these ones: www.susana.org/en/resources/library?search=UDDT+school
- You can also use the search term "ecosan" and "schools" because many people use the term "ecosan toilet" when referring to UDDTs as it's nice and simple (others - like myself - would say that the term ecosan is much broader than just UDDTs (see also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_sanitation))
- The UK-based NGO Sanitation First (formerly Whereever the Need) has ample experience with UDDTs at schools in India and Sierra Leone; they call them ecosan toilets: www.wherevertheneed.org.uk/category/education/
- There was a blog from the Ecosan Network Kenya which also dealt with UDDTs at schools but it hasn't been updated since 2012: ecosankenya.blogspot.com.au/p/projects.html
- Photos of UDDTs at schools and other places in SuSanA's flickr photo collection: www.flickr.com/photos/gtzecosan/collections/72157626092760863/
