Re: Sanitation Policy Guideline by AMCOW
Dear Shobana,
Interesting initiative. I hope Kitch will share more details with us here on the forum. (and yes, Mughal, Kitch's focus will be on Africa, as AMCOW is the African Ministers’ Council on Water)
Regarding policies, I think we haven't often discussed in the forum HOW they were developed, but more the end result, i.e. the published sanitation policies (or the lack thereof).
I wonder if Kitch has browsed through this forum category (called "government as a driver") where we have discussed policies in the past (with now a new sub-category specifically for India):
forum.susana.org/142-government-as-a-driver
We also have a forum category that deals with reuse policies and legislation, see here:
forum.susana.org/174-safety-of-reuse-asp...-guidelines-policies
Then there are policies regarding pit emptying, these can be found mixed in here with technical topics:
forum.susana.org/99-faecal-sludge-transp...its-and-septic-tanks
Policies and guidelines for FSM are in this sub-category:
forum.susana.org/277-fsm-planning-tools-...boxes-and-guidelines
When it comes to sanitation policies, we have to consider the different steps of the sanitation chain. In the forum we have discussed them in different sections, depending on whether it's about toilets, faecal sludge emptying & transport, FSM, reuse... That's perhaps not quite ideal, so it will be great if someone pulls everything together somehow. Looking forward to seeing the outcomes of Kitch's work!
Regards,
Elisabeth

Dear Ms. Shobana,
I believe, this is for people residing in Africa!!??
On this note, do you have information on countries having sanitation policy - or, better still, provide links to the sanitation policies, if convenient.
For your information, I'm attaching our local sanitation policies.

F H Mughal

Sanitation Policy Guideline by AMCOW
African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) is working on a sanitation policy guideline for the African continent and plans to work with countries to ensure that the policy gaps in their countries are filled using this guideline. It will cover a spectrum of issues.
AMCOW would like to have information on:
AMCOW would like to have information on:
- Processes and the outcomes in terms of what’s worked and why
