Hi Tom, yes this story has been buzzing around! In short, yes this initiative is great, and reflective of where you get with faecal sludge management. I often quote it when I want to show examples to colleagues interested in the topic. Ada knows more about it as she worked on it before she (re)joined WA.
One interesting aspect is that this technical innovation is not the main thing here. What has worked is 1) real willingness and commitment from authorities and ONAS (the WASH main agency) to reach slums, and 2) good coordination between authorities, NGOs / civil society, private sector and academics to make it work. Innovations have stemmed from this collaboration, not the other way around. We have other such good examples from South Africa (eThekwini).
