An exploration of how integrity can support the implementation of CWIS projects, with a focus on regulation for CWIS and how regulation and integrity complement each other in the realisation of the human right to sanitation.
Citywide Inclusive Sanitation is a framework to ensure everyone in the city has access to adequate and affordable improved sanitation services over time through appropriate systems, both sewered and non-sewered. It is a response to investment policies that have prioritised the construction and extension of sewered systems (for example, pipes, water treatment plants, and in-house connections) but left large parts of the population unserved, especially in newer or informal settlements.
This has serious consequences on public health and the environment, as well as on the development of the city. Improving existing sanitation options, including non-sewered sanitation, is key to increasing coverage. This approach requires more attention, resources and an enabling environment.
