Case study of sustainable sanitation projects

The general objective of the ROSA project, which is located in Arusha, Tanzania, is to promote resource oriented sanitation concepts in high density areas. The main expected impact of the project is an increased number of people owning UDDTs and wide knowledge on resource oriented sanitation concepts.

The project came into existence since Arusha is one pilot city of the EU funded project "Resource-Oriented Sanitation concepts for peri-urban areas in Africa (ROSA)" which took place in four countries in East Africa. It is the first self-standing project in this respect in Arusha which took place in February 2008. The design and construction of UDDTs was attained after the first draft of the Strategic Sanitation and Waste Plan (SSWP) for Arusha Municipality was prepared.
