Planning urban sanitation and wastewater management improvements
ADB (2006). Model terms of reference : planning urban sanitation and
wastewater management improvements. Manila, The Philippines,
AsianDevelopment Bank. - 24 p.
This approach and methodology for planning urban sanitation and wastewater
management improvements is in the form of a consultant Terms of Reference
(TOR) for a Project Preparation Technical Assistance. The breadth of
technical and institutional options is a standout feature of the TOR. The
TOR directs the project preparation consultant to review a comprehensive
range of sanitation and wastewater management options, including
conventional and low cost centralized and decentralized sewerage; separate
and combined industrial and municipal sewerage; sewage treatment and
effluent disposal options; on-site sanitation options, separate programs for
schools; public toilets; sanitation in slums; community-based NGO-supported
programs. Consultants and governments are encouraged to consider where
ecological sanitation should fit in the sanitation strategy.
The TOR offers a step-by-step guide for surveying the existing sanitation
situation in the project city; analyzing the survey results; analyzing all
the plausible technical and institutional options; formulating responsive
city government policy and ordinances; and setting project investment
priorities. The material is work-in-progress and can be adapted for
particular project circumstances. The appendices include lessons learned
from ADB and the World Bank, case studies, and urban sanitation
references.
