Community-Managed Wastewater Treatment System, El-Moufty El-Kobra, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt

The motivation of the project was to establish a decentralised wastewater treatment system that offers a simple solution to existing shortcomings and is cost-effective and efficient, hence allows self-management by the village community. The overall goal of this GIZ “component” (which is part of a larger GIZ programme) was formulated under the expectation that hygienic, appropriate, low-cost wastewater disposal possibilities are accepted and applied by the population and the responsible institutions.
