Situational Analysis of Urban Sanitation and Waste Management in Ethiopia

It was commissioned by Strengthening Ethiopia's Urban Health Program (SEUHP) and John Snow, Inc. (JSI). The analysis aims to review and analyze national, regional, and city/town level policies and strategies on sanitation and waste management, assess institutional capacities, and describe the current sanitation and waste management-related knowledge, perspectives, and practices among urban communities. The study was conducted in 30 cities/towns of Ethiopia from June to July 2014 using a mixed-method cross-sectional study design. The findings of the assessment will inform interventions to improve sanitation policy nationwide.
