Non- sewered sanitation, a key issue for African local authorities
L'assainissement non- collectif, un enjeu clé pour les collectivités locales africaines.
Non-sewered sanitation is largely predominant in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2020, this sanitation method, often managed informally, represented 72% of the access in rural areas and 78.6% in urban areas. Therefore, formalizing non-sewered sanitation should be considered as a key issue for local authorities, which are usually responsible for this service.
