Marching Together with a Citywide Sanitation Strategy

This book contains the principles a municipal government should consider before developing a citywide sanitation strategy. This strategy refers to a city’s strategic mid-term sanitation development plan, which incorporates vision, missions, objectives and targets as well as specific strategies to improve sanitation services.

Chapter 1 starts with an introduction of the background, objectives, concept, and the process of a city sanitation development, followed by a description of the position of the citywide sanitation strategy within the sanitation development planning process. The remaining chapters describe the steps to develop a citywide sanitation strategy.

Chapters 2 to 6 explain the five major steps of the process: a) establishing a working group, b) city sanitation mapping, c) defining a sanitation development framework, d) preparing a strategy for sanitation services development, and e) preparing a strategy for development of non-technical aspects.

Chapter 7 concludes the book with a series of follow-up activities for implementation upon approval of the citywide sanitation strategy. The book is not a technical manual; readers will find a description of the principles of each strategy preparation phase. This English version is an adaptation to the Indonesian original text published in 2008.
