2. Lessons Learned :
People know the economic importance of compost.
People prefer compost as best soil dresser
Piles of mixture of excreta , ash vegetable waste scattred nearby privies and offsite
Due to the insufficient culturally accepted Sanitation Facilities lead to the unsightly environment in the city.
SDG 6b will not be achieved unless we ensure human waste safe in the environment

3. Way forward
Work with communities how to improve excreta management/ part of ACCLTS as well
Build on the existing capacity
Provide communities with composting facilities as lined pit nearby privies or in gardens
Facilitate interface between farming communities and agriculture sector for excreta management
SDG 6b will not be achieved unless we ensure human waste detoxified and fully compost and use it as fertilizer
Sulahab to be replicated
