affordable sanitation products
DESCRIPTION
This catalogue is one of the main outputs from the project “Improving access to sanitation for the most disadvantaged, through applied research on appropriate solutions” funded by the “Water and Sanitation Systems for Development Cooperation Group” (GCSASD) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid from its ‘XIV Call for grants for university development cooperation actions 2013”. Its main objective is to identify, analyse, develop and promote a range of affordable, suitable and sustainable sanitation solutions, in the context of Kongwa district. Its implementation was carried out by a partnership between the GCSASD and ONGAWA in collaboration with the Ardhi University. That project is complementary to UMATA program, funded by the Global Sanitation Fund, that aims to increase the access and use of improved sanitation facilities with changed sanitation and hygiene behaviours at scale. It is designed to strengthen the Tanzanian National Sanitation Campaign.TRANSCRIPT

IntrOductIOn
Why this catalogue has been created? :
Overall, it responds to the challenges the sanitation and hygiene sector have been facing in the past decades worldwide and also in Tanzania.
In the case of Dodoma Region the statistics of the last survey conducted during the elaboration of UMATA Baseline speak for themselves. In the three districts studied, Bahi, Chamwino and Kongwa, it was observed that:
. Just 22 % of the households have access to improved sanitation facilities . Just 4 % of the adults can demonstrate effective hand washing
This situation has direct impact on the health of the population as the spread of diarrhoea, which is ranked third among the top ten causes of mortality for under five children in Tanzania. That poses a great burden for the families to overcome the poverty cycle as it affects directly their capacity to attend livelihood activities reducing the available time for productive activities, undermines the health of all the family, specially the children, implies additional risks for women, kids and vulnerable groups and redu-ces dignity, among other things.
In fact, the districts mentioned above are among the bottom twenty districts with the higher under five mortality rate in the country.
To tackle this problem effectively, programs have to work on the demand, through hygiene and sanitation promotion activities, but as well on the offer, ensuring that once there is the willingness to build or improve a sanitation facility, affordable and adequate products are available and are reaching the communities.
It is specifically on this second aspect where a clear gap has been identified, and this catalo-gue’s intention is to contribute to fill it by providing technical support and guidelines to artisans and entrepreneurs.
The approach adopted has been focused on the compilation of best practices observed during the field work in Kongwa and the improvements and recommendations have been developed jointly with local artisans, the main final users of this document.

HOw tO use It
This catalogue has been conceived in order to provide artisans and entrepreneurs a tool that can help them to:
1. Identify the most convenient supply chain, including whole sellers (see Supply chain)
2. Establish a linkage between themselves and also with the Local Government Leaders (see Useful contacts)
3. Explain to the customers which options are available and which ones are the most suitable for their needs:
In case the work to be done is to build a new latrine or rehabilitate it, the artisan can advise the customer by going through the chapter TYPES OF LATRINES and checking the advices given for each option.
Theses are the most important features used in this catalogue (at the bottom of the page for each type of latrine):
4. Explain to the customer where the costs come from and prepare a preliminary budget for the customer:
Once the artisan and the customer have agreed on the work that needs to be done, a first approximate budget can be issued by examining the chapter OPTIONS AND COST. For a new latrine construction, one option for each one of these 4 elements shall be picked:
. Pits . Slabs . Superstructures . Hand washing
The total amount may vary depending on the options chosen according to the options available in this catalogue. Unit price of materials do not include transportation.
water required for flushing is low
re-used water for flushing is appropriate
safe for children
disabled people can use all kind of latrines if they are properly adapted
water required for flushing is high
water seal: odour and flies free
the slabs and shelter can be re-used
the lid must be used for keeping odours and flies away
pipe must have a net at the end for keeping flies away
hand-washing must be used with the latrine

Start-Up constituted by the artisans who attended ToT. It innovates in products and business models.It can credit materials to the artisans that request them as well as provide technical advice. They are linked with the District Council.
The moulds to build new slabs during the project have been donated to the artisans and the WEO was in charge of distributing them.
In charge of checking and signing the report about the progression done by the artisans of his village.
Their main role is to provide the materials needed to produce sanitation products and facilities to hou-seholds and artisans.
They rehabilitate or construct sanitation products and facilities for households and institutions. They can ask PUGU for technical assistance.

This sanitation ladder is adapted to the case of Kongwa District.
In order to ‘climb’ the ladder leaving behind unsafe practices towards improved sanitation, the households should use, at least, hand washing facilities and latrines with washable slab, roof and door.
Different technological options are available as follows, arranged from the simplest to the more advanced:
. Simple pit latrine: pit on-site and sanplat with lid, superstructure with roof and door.
. Ventilated improved latrine:
. VIP with bamba and pit on-site, superstructure with roof and door.
. VIP with traditional pour flush with pit off-site and superstructure with roof and door.
. Pour flush:
. Pour flush with p-trap, superstructure with roof and door.
An example of each option is described next in this chapter.

advices:
. The option chosen depends on the type of soil.
. When the soil is unstable the pit must be lined with bricks, blocks or stones. Burnt bricks have been chosen by default for when budgeting the pits because the cost of lining with them (materials and labour charge) is lower compared to the other options. . When the soil is stable the top of the pit should be completed with partial lining.. In areas of high water tables the pit must be raised, the distance between the botton and the water table must be 2 m.. The distance between the pit and water source must be at least 30 m.. Latrine foundation / pit lining should be raised enough to avoid flood during the rain season. The wind direction should be taken into account to avoid odour issues at home.. Off-site pit should not be placed in areas where people stay or pass through.
life span:
. Size of the pit should depend on the kind of latrine and the number of people who will use it
Standard size (the width and the length of the pit depends on the size of the slab. An standard ‘bamba kubwa’ is 1,5 x 1,5 m):
. Depth of pit around 3 m . Breadth/width of pit around 1,5 m
. The pit volume can be found using the following formula:
V= 4/3 x C x P x N
V = Volume of the pitC = Pit capacity/ solid accumulation rate ( 0.04 m3/person/year for wet pit, 0.06 m3/person/year for dry pit)N = Design period (years)P = Design population4/3 = Design factor introduced because the pit should be dislodged when is ¾ full
. When the off-site pit is full, the most common solution is to dig another pit and connect it with the full pit or the existing latrine as shown in the picture.

roof:
. The iron sheets should be properly joined to the superstructure by the artisan to reduce the risk of being removed by heavy rain/wind. . Tembe should be well built in a way that will not allow rainfall to pass through during the rain season.. Tembe roof is suitable where the availability of tembe and trees is enough.
superstructure with bathroom:
. Every superstructure in the catalogue can be built together with a bathroom facility.
door:
. The most common kind of doors are both the one made from iron sheet (A) and the one made en-tirely from wood (B). The first one (A) has been chosen by default when budgeting the superstructures because its cost is approximately half of the other one’s cost..

acknOwledgments
The authors would like to acknowledge the help given by the following con-tributors in the development of this catalogue:
Firstly we owe particular thanks to the inhabitants of the villages of Kongwa District for their kindness when carrying out the field work. The collaboration of the Local Government Leaders was also very remarka-ble and they definitely facilitated our interaction with the communities.
We are grateful to the participants of UMATA (Usafi wa Mazingira Tanzania - Sanitation Program in Tanzania), the program that constitutes the framework of this work; especially to LVIA (Lay Volunteers International Association), for its help during the field research and for sharing its knowledge about the area, but also to Plan International Tanzania for its guidance, support and for effectively promoting networking among all the stakeholders. We also would like to thank ‘Catholic Re-lief Services’ and ‘Social and Economic Development Initiative’ for their teamwork done.
During the development of innovative sanitation solutions we were very lucky to work jointly with the artisans from ‘UFUNDI Kongwa’ and also with those that took part in ONGAWA’s Training of Trainers, ‘ToT’ who provided as well their feed-back and technical advice when revising the preliminary version of this document.

This catalogue is one of the main outputs from the project “Improving access to sanitation for the most disadvantaged, through applied research on appropriate solutions” funded by the “Wa ter and Sanitation Systems for Development Cooperation Group” (GCSASD) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid from its ‘XIV Call for grants for university development cooperation actions 2013”.
Its main objective is to identify, analyse, de velop and promote a range of affordable, suitable and sustainable sanitation solutions, in the context of Kongwa district.
Its implementation was carried out by a partnership between the GCSASD and ONGAWA in collaboration with the Ardhi University.
That project is complementary to UMATA program, funded by the Global Sanitation Fund, that aims to increase the access and use of improved sanitation facilities with changed sanitation and hy-giene behaviours at scale. It is designed to strengthen the Tanzanian National Sanitation Campaign and during its first phase is being implemented in three districts of Dodoma Region: Bahi, Chamwino and Kongwa.
The elaboration of this first edition took place from June to November 2014 in Kongwa District. Research on sanitation products and prototype testing is still being carried out at the time of this publi-cation.
This catalogue is available in English and Swahili.
