Making Sanitation Everybody's Business: Highlights of the ADB-DMC Sanitation Dialogue
Asian Development Bank | June 2009
Abstract
What does sanitation mean to us at the Asian Development Bank (ADB)? For one, sustainable provision of latrines is just the first in the long list of deliverables. We believe that it is important to secure sustainable environments for residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Increasingly, in a rapidly urbanizing Asia and Pacific region, we need to juxtapose environmental sanitation with hygiene sanitation. The collection, treatment, disposal, and recycling of household, commercial, and industrial waste water is as important as changing hygiene attitudes and behavior, and in developing solutions.
