Market driven approach for faecal sludge treatment products
Inadequate management and treatment of faecal sludge continues to pose risks for public and
environmental health. Given the variability of faecal sludge and location-specific nature of solutions, it is
difficult to decide on treatment objectives and performance goals for treatment. The Market Driven
Approach was developed as a quantitative methodology to determine which faecal sludge treatment
products have the highest market potential in a defined location. This methodology provides a way to
compare treatment products based on their real value for resource recovery. This paper discusses the
results and lessons learned from field-testing in five cities across Africa and South-East Asia
