The developed SFD results also showed that only 9.4% of faecal sludge was effectively managed and 90.6% was not safely managed, causing health risk exposure directly or contaminating the groundwater sources. To improve the existing sanitation management in the city, several feasible options are proposed, including implementation of decentralized sanitation systems, enhancement of public-private partnerships, engaging the community and promoting awareness, adoption of innovative technologies and practices, and , and , and strengthening local policies and regulations.
