SEI Profile • SEI is an Institute for strategic research with • SCIENCE FOR POLICY • at the core • www.sei.se
EcoSanRes Programme (ESR)www.ecosanres.org SuSanA The Sustainable Sanitation Alliance www.susana.org
MDG 7 & Target 10 Halve by the year 2015 the proportion of people lacking sanitation App. 95,000 HH need to be provided with sanitation every day – equal to 65 installations/minute
Focus of EcoSanRes Programme • Systems approach to sanitation – not a toilet project • Knowledge development • Communications, networking and co-ordination • Capacity Development and regional knowledge nodes Honduras, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Uganda, Nepal, Philippines & China
The Global Sanitation Challenge • App 2.5 billion individuals lack accessed to proper sanitation in 2006 (WHO/UNICEF 2008) • App. one in three have access to improved sanitation in South Asia • More than 1 billion individuals have flush sanitation - 70% is not properly treated • 700 million people in 50 countries eat food from crops irrigated with untreated sewage • 80 countries with 40% of the world pop. suffer from water shortage
The Lack of Sanitation Causes • the death of app. 5 000 children under five daily due to diarrhoea – 1.8M/year • 1.3 billion people have Ascariasis (roundworm) • 99 million DALYs are lost due to diarrhea every year
Fresh Water Resources • 80 countries with 40% of the world pop. suffer from water shortage • 884 million people lack access to improved drinking water • Quality of drinking water is dependent on the degree of contamination by faecal matter • Bottled water is becoming standard!
PARADIGM SHIFT RE. SANITATIONRequires change inattitudefor reuse of nutrients in a safe manner and the recovery of treated greywater to the environmentClosing the Loop on Sanitation
AVRAGE PRODUCTION OF URINE AND FAECES & THEIR NUTRIENT CONTENT
Reuse of Excreta Fraction Nutrients Reuse applied globally corresponds to app. 1/3 of the nitrogen and 1/4 of the phosphorous In Sub-Sahara the potential for reuse is app. 110% of the nitrogen and 95% of the phosphorous (FAOstat 2005)
WHO Guidelines 2006 • Produced in collaboration with UNEP and FAO • Guidelines for safe reuse of human excreta and greywater in agriculture • Reviews risks and how to reduce risks impact on consumers

Ecological Sanitation - ecosan AN APPROACH with many TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
Compost from Human Excreta - appearance and texture of the final product depends to a large extent on what is placed in the pit. Example from Malawi Left: mix of composted faeces, urine and sandy soilRight: mix of composted faeces, urine, red soil and leaves
