What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

The installation of an innovative MobiSan communal sanitation unit in the informal settlement of Pook se Bos in Cape Town, South Africa, has demonstrated how such decentralised solutions can be ideal for informal settlements where the water table is high and, due to land ownership issues, the municipality has limited ability to provide formal sanitation services.
