Brief description of ToR
The Water Research Commission (WRC) has generated a plethora of world‐leading research into non‐ sewered sanitation. This includes ground‐breaking research into pit latrine science, the drying kinetics of faecal sludge and the development and science advancement of various novel household and community‐ based sanitation systems. Despite the generation of this knowledge, there has little uptake of thisresearch into university curricula with conventional systems, specifically sewered system design, remaining entrenched within the academic learning space. Under the constrained resource availability and urbanisation trends expected, the next generation of sanitation engineers, scientists and decision‐makers need exposure to alternative approaches in this field.
