Findings of the review are presented and discussed in this paper. We conducted a literature search and review of documents on pit latrine usage, filling, smell and insect nuisances in urban areas of SSA.
MethodsĬurrent pit latrine usage within urban SSA was calculated from Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) water and sanitation country-files. This review focuses on the usage and performance (filling, smell and insect nuisance) of pit latrines in urban areas of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and proposes approaches for their improvements and sustainability. In spite of the wide spread use, known successes and advantages associated with pit latrines, they have received little attention in form of research and development.
A pit latrine is the most basic form of improved sanitation which is currently used by a number of people around the globe.
