Latrine pit lining in clayey-silt soil

One of the camps with over 100,000 refugees, is located in an area which has the overburden layer mostly composed of clayey-silt. This makes it difficult to dig and maintain latrine pits, as well as very slow soaking of latrine contents. We are looking for couple of options for latrine pit lining (appropriate, sustainable and cost effective in that environment) to manage these latrines in the best possible way. Any suggestions and technical recommendations for this particular location will be highly appreciated.
