Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), though ranked currently as the least urbanized region of the world, is the most rapidly urbanizing region globally. It is projected that in the next few decades the region will have more than half of its population living in urban settings. In Kenya, despite a comprehensive sanitation policy, close to 40% of the population lacked access to safe sanitation with only 5.9% of the country's population connected to sewers while open defecation still persisted at 17.6%.   Objectives: The proposed study sought to: (a) Review existing, policies and institutional arrangements for effective faecal waste management (FWM) in both cities; (b) assess perceptions, attitudes and practices of stakeholders in relation to FWM; (c) assess the financing for FWM by County governments in the two cities. \nMethods: The study employed qualitative approach which involved focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and key informant interviews across the wide spectrum of FWM stakeholders. Descriptive analysis of content and thematic analysis of qualitative data was employed.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2018-05-01","end":"2018-05-31","cycle":"Nakuru"},{"start":"2018-07-16","end":"2018-08-10","cycle":"Nairobi"}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"ken"}],"geog_coverage":"Urban areas of Nakuru and Nairobi","analysis_unit":"Individuals working in Sanitation plants (Recyclers and Management)\nCommunity members(Tenants and Landlords and Pit emptiers)\nExperts: Public health officers and Sanitation coordinators in schools and hospitals","universe":"Individuals working in Sanitation plants (Recyclers and Management)\nCommunity members(Tenants and Landlords and Pit emptiers)\nExpers: Public health officers and Sanitation coordinators in schools and hospitals","notes":"Policy variables for questions derived from KESH Policy were as follows: a) Scaling up access to improved urban sanitation b) Clean and healthy environment for all Kenyans through appropriate technology choices for waste management and pollution control c) Private sector participation and investment in sanitation. d) Governance and leadership capacity for sanitation. e) Sustainable financing and investment for sanitation. f) Enabling legal and regulatory environment. g) Research and development framework for sanitation. h) Monitoring and evaluation systems for the sanitation sector. \n\n-Status of sanitation chain related items included: containment, emptying, transportation, recycling and treatment","study_scope":"Policy variables for questions derived from KESH Policy were as follows: a) Scaling up access to improved urban sanitation b) Clean and healthy environment for all Kenyans through appropriate technology choices for waste management and pollution control c) Private sector participation and investment in sanitation. d) Governance and leadership capacity for sanitation. e) Sustainable financing and investment for sanitation. f) Enabling legal and regulatory environment. g) Research and development framework for sanitation. h) Monitoring and evaluation systems for the sanitation sector. \n\n-Status of sanitation chain related items included: containment, emptying, transportation, recycling and treatment"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"i.Sample size determination.\nNo sample size was determined as the data needed was not based on representativeness, but rather was based on the reality on the ground.
