Sanitation approaches: Evidence from Nigeria

The Sustainable Total Sanitation (STS) Nigeria project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, inclusion and sustainability of total sanitation approaches for the poor and under-served in Ekiti and Enugu States, and contribute to wider national and regional good practice.

As part of the Sustainable Total Sanitation (STS) project, WaterAid Nigeria, in collaboration with community members in Ekiti and Enugu, developed an affordable, accessible and durable sanitation product, called the Water Easy Toilet (WET).

The STS project had four components: implementation, action learning, formal research and advocacy. The formal research component involved an impact evaluation of the two main interventions (CLTS and SanMark) over four years (2014-2018) by our research partner, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).

This resource is made up of short summaries from each component of the project.
