About Burkina Faso
About the Dori region
Currently, 66.0 % (PMA2020 SDG indicator, 2020) of the population of Burkina Faso lacks access to sanitation facilities, forcing them to practice open defecation in the land and nearby bodies of water. Untreated human waste is a potential biohazard for human health and it is also highly contaminating for the natural resources that enter in contact with it. The lack of access to sanitation facilities also forces residents to defecate in unsanitary places - thus increasing the risk of entering in contact with infectious pathogens - and it prevents women from having a safe place for practicing sanitary menstruation hygiene. All of these issues are aggravated in the highly impoverished region of Dori.
<aside> ⚠️ It is thus necessary to propose a solution that allows the residents of Dori to have access to sanitation facilities as an alternative to practicing open defecation.
</aside>
The solution is integrated and accepted within the cultural environment of the region
The solution has to be constructed and maintained using human and material resources locally available
The solution must be integrated with the available infrastructure and landscape of the area
The solution must be minimally economically expensive to build and maintain
