Container-Based Sanitation Services and Attrition: An Examination of Drivers and Implications

Container-based SanitationHaitiSchmidt Family Foundation

Dataset Objective

To examine the relationship between users and container based service, and its role in improved sanitation accessibility.

Context

Haiti is far from achieving the UN goal of sanitation access for all; 20% of the population has no sanitation access, and less than 0.1% of the country’s excreta is safely managed. Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) may be key to achieving timely and equitable sanitation coverage in Haiti’s cities. A potential solution for making rapid progress on these goals exists in Container-Based Sanitation (CBS). One of Haiti’s only safely managed sanitation options is EkoLakay, a privately run CBS service. This study examines the relationship between users and the service, and its role in improved sanitation accessibility.

What is included

Tables with summaries on subscriber status, by household characteristics, reported factors affecting subscribers' decision to terminate subscription. Charts representing the reported sanitation options available in the study area

Collection Methods

This study utilizes interviews with 633 active and former CBS service users in Haiti. This study used a mixed methodology approach, deriving qualitative and quantitative data from EkoLakay subscriber records and structured interviews with active and former subscribers of the EkoLakay CBS service in Cap Haïtien, Haiti.
