Purpose of good sanitation/Benefit

• Public Health (Reduce diarrhea and other excreta-related

diseases, worms infestation and Stunting)
• Food Security (water and Nutrient Recovery)
• Part of a Future “Low Carbon Economy” (Energy
Generation,GHG Emissions)
• Environmental Benefits (Improve Water Quality)
• Quality of life for residents ,Recreations and Business
• City competitiveness
• Tourist attraction
To Achieve Sustainable Sanitation
• Effective Policy
• Legal and Regulatory Framework
• Institutional Arrangements
