Where soil conditions or lack of space do not allow replacement by sanitary
household toilets on land, the proposed solution is to upgrade helicopter toilets by
equipping them with a light-weight pour/flush pan, a flexible hose and a floating tank
(Fig. 14), combined with a public-private partnership for sanitary tank emptying, e.g.
a Vacutug service (private) and sewage treatment or composting beds (public).
Dry composting toilets
In Blitar, Jambi, Payakumbu and at the outskirts of Denpasar, some interest in dry
toilets with urine diversion giving a free natural fertilizer and rapid faeces composting
is already present. Demand can be increased through neighbourhood sessions on the
technology and cost-benefits with men and women (who grow the vegetables and
raise plants for the family‘s cost-savings and extra income) and demonstration
projects. Affordability depends on options including low-cost designs (Fig. 15-17)
and financing through e.g. local credit at banks or shops or through local credit and
savings systems as those run by women‘s groups and RTs. In these more peri-urban
and open areas, households will get informed choices on different kinds of toilets
(including dry toilets), superstructures and the possibility to upgrade these over time
(Fig. 18).
MCKs
A component in the city strategies on MCKs is to learn more systematically from the
existing experiences, and to develop effective support programmes with skilled staff,
materials and training through an ‗action-learning programme‘. An example of a
useful support material to be developed is a catalogue of management and financing
options for more informed community decision-making. Brief assessment formats
have been developed to help local communities, leaders, PHC/PKK staff and
researchers start participatory learning and action planning. They are attached as
Annex 2 and 3.
