Contact Person : Dr. Sudhir Pillay sudhirp@wrc.org.za

Brief Description of ToR:
Progress in sanitation is falling short of time-based targets. Part of the challenge lies in the technology
paradigm that has seen little innovation is the last 150 years. The current sanitation paradigm is binary in
nature – flush toilets connected to wastewater treatment works via sewered network and on-site
alternatives that main serve as containment receptacles in which faecal sludges needs to emptied and
transported to a treatment facility. Both approaches have their known technical shortcomings.
