Learning Brief 4 of 4
This brief reviews the toilet containment options available to rural households in western Kenya, including their installation and operating costs, suitable settings, and the market conditions facing new sanitation products. It covers the eight counties served by the USAID Western Kenya Sanitation Project (opens in a new tab): Bungoma, Busia, Homa Bay, Kakamega, Kisii, Kisumu, Migori and Siaya.
The brief was developed through a collaboration between Opero Services and the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (opens in a new tab) (CAWST (opens in a new tab)) as part of the ongoing development of the Vetiver Latrine. The analysis draws on published market assessments and fieldwork conducted under the USAID Western Kenya Sanitation Project (opens in a new tab). Section 9 provides details of the sources, their geographic coverage, and data collection dates. The brief is an independent publication by Opero Services, drawing on USAID and World Bank Group (opens in a new tab) materials as secondary sources.
This is the fourth in a series of four learning briefs. Brief 1 presents lessons from the pilot and identifies research gaps, Brief 2 examines household toilet preferences, and Brief 3 describes the sanitation market across the eight counties.
