Scaling Market Based Sanitation: Desk review on market based rural sanitation development programs

This review offers a framework that draws upon and contributes to existing evidence across the three crucial challenges to scaling MBS—appropriate product and business model choices, viability of sanitation enterprises, and difficulty of unlocking public and private financing for sanitation. It also helps funders and implementers design, analyze, and improve MBS interventions and offers guidance for stakeholders and governments interested in using sanitation markets to expand sanitation coverage and reduce open defecation. In addition, this review highlights the larger contextual parameters that determine the applicability of MBS within a given market.

The Politics of Aquaculture - Sustainability Interdependence, Territory and Regulation in Fish Farming

Aquaculture is increasingly complementing global fisheries and is relevant to ocean and freshwater health, biodiversity and food security, as well as coastal management, tourism and natural heritage. This book makes the case for treating the governance of this industry as meriting attention in its own right, abandoning the polemic discussions of fish farming and opening up new ways for debating its past, present and future.

Applying the WHO’s multi-barrier approach to faecal sludge reuse

Productive reuse of faecal sludge while safeguarding public health and the environment is important for meeting multiple Sustainable Development Goals. Application of the ‘multiple barrier approach’

can help achieve safe reuse without requiring costly faecal sludge treatment that may be unaffordable. This study demonstrates the need to continue to build sector capacity through practical application of the multi-barrier approach, and through such pilot studies, to understand and avoid common pitfalls and limitations of the approach.
