This lesson introduces the sanitation service chain. It focuses on the last three components which encompass faecal sludge management (FSM): (1) collection and transportation of faecal sludge from on-site sanitation technologies, (2) faecal sludge treatment, (3) and use or disposal of faecal sludge. Participants will explore the importance of each component in protecting public health. They will also learn the difference between sewered and non-sewered sanitation systems.
