To measure changes in participating households’ perceptions and attitudes toward sanitation services before and after the CBS pilot and; To compare the magnitude of change among enrolled households with that of 248 comparison households.
While household-level container-based sanitation (CBS) services may help address the persistent challenge of providing effective, affordable sanitation services for which low-income urban households are willing to pay, little is known, however, about user perceptions of and demand for household CBS services. This study presents the results of a pilot CBS service programme in Cap Haitien, Haiti. One hundred and eighteen households were randomly selected to receive toilets and a twice-weekly collection service. After three months, changes in these households’ satisfaction with their sanitation situation, along with feelings of pride, modernity and personal safety, were compared to 248 households in two comparison cohorts. The study reported here was undertaken in two Cap Haitien communities: the informal settlement of Shada and the formal settlement of Avyasyon.
