SuSanA Forum- Re: The Clam - A compostable chamber pot. - by: canaday March 9, 2014Hi Billy, Welcome to the Forum and thanks for sharing the Compostable Clam. I agree that we should creatively look for simple solutions, but I think the making of these Clams is too labor-intensive (which could be solved via mass production if this is taken to a big scale). I show a solution for dealing with the urine while filling your clams in this simpler […]
- Re: Technology for treating Clean Team waste - by: Kevinkuhn March 8, 2014Hello, I really like the project and it is quite exciting to see the progress in that. In general I think, that those types of business models are a good solution to create a economically sustainable business with dry toilets. But, I´d like to add a few questions regarding some ecological issues. 1.) You are talking about "blue stuff", which is als […]

- Re: 12 March -16h00 : SuSanA–WASHtech webinar on Technology Applicability Framework (TAF) - by: muench March 8, 2014Dear Trevor, Thanks for inviting us all to this webinar on the TAF that was developed by the project WASHtech which has now come to an end. I have a few small questions: How come SuSanA is hosting this event, did it have any involvement in the WASHtech project, or is it mainly because Skat is a SuSanA partner? Will there be a recording of the webinar made av […]

- Re: CLTS doesn't lead to sustainable safe sanitation & hygiene - Study by Plan Australia - by: pfeldman March 7, 2014Just a quick reply to Marielle - would it be possible for you to state what IRC's position is on how to create demand for sanitation, especially in the dominantly rural-poor context where most open defecation takes place? Other than questioning CLTS, it would be helpful to know what approach IRC promotes or advocates for. Thanks!

Sanitation Hackathon Field Visits
This entry was posted in Campaigns and Events and tagged Sanitation Hackathon. Bookmark the permalink.
Yeah great, let’s have a database where we collect some random data. Oh, and let’s also do this in East Africa where we only have 1000+ NGOs.
Srsly, as if a mobile app would change anything. Also, I am sick of seeing these things being field tested in East Africa all the time.
I’d love to have a reporting app (which would already be achieved via Frontline SMS or Ushahidi), but I’d also love to see much more action on the data use side. Reliable data that provides for tangible decisions.
Plus: who will guarantee that there is more to happen once the hackathon hype is gone? And who will pay devs in Europe to get to know about the equally poor face of public toilets in the EU?
