A complete excreta disposal system doesn’t stop at the latrine, whether communal in a camp or familial in household compound. It also includes a desludging / transportation service and an off-site treatment and final disposal site. Various technical options are available for each component of the sanitation service chain.
The Excreta Disposal Manual is Oxfam’s guidance for technical sanitation program interventions, providing a wide range of technology options and tools for decision making.
