Summary

It is generally assumed that an appropriate planning process is important for sustainable implementation of sanitation solutions. Therefore, a number of projects and institutions have been and are currently working on frameworks and tools for sanitation planning.

Issue 7 of Sustainable Sanitation Practice (SSP) on „Planning tools“ highlights some of the on-going work. The editors define „planning tools“ as tools that are used along the overall planning process/framework, such as:

  • an analysis of the overall planning process and recommendations for improvement (McConville),
  • the description of the Sanitation 21 strategic planning approach (Parkinson and Saywell),
  • the description of the Planning and Process Tools section of the web-based SSWM Toolbox (Conradin et al.), and
  • the description of a tool for planners to calculate economic costs of different sanitation options (Lechner)
