Evaluation
of the Appropriateness of Ecological Sanitation in Relation to the Social,
Cultural and Economic and Financial Context of Sri Lanka
A UNICEF-funded report by Constanze Windberg.
"Ecosan toilets were introduced to Sri Lanka in 2001. There is an increasing
interest in ecosan technologies with NGOs and INGOs and Ministries (Ministry of
Urban Development, Ministry of Health). In 2005/6 approximately 50 ecosan
toilets were constructed and several upcoming projects include ecosan
technologies. However, there is no sound ecosan strategy existing yet. The
efforts of the different stakeholders have to be bundled and streamlined.
Misconceptions have to be clarified and the limited experiences in Sri Lanka
discussed. To facilitate the sustainable introduction of ecosan, UNICEF
contracted an international consultant to evaluate the appropriateness of
ecological sanitation in relation to the socio-cultural, economic and financial
context of Sri Lanka."
