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.
