Mobile EcoSan units in Burkina Faso
CREPA started to work with mobile EcoSan units in 2007 in response to a demand from the
Ministry of Environment to support the city of Ouagadougou with waste management in public
places during the biennial international film festival FESPACO. Four sites in the center of town
were identified for the use of mobile toilets, urinals as well as solid waste bins during the
festival. The installations, 9 men’s urinals, 6 women’s urinals and 6 latrines were managed by a
team of nine young caretakers and accompanied by seven students who informed the visitors
about EcoSan. This was a big event with more than 15000 users of the toilets during eight days
in Februray/March 2007.

For more information see his presentation at the Dry Toilet Conference in Finland in August 2009 (see in Session 4b):

Update in June 2011 from Linus:
"I have no updated info from the association that was formed (APLE – Association pour la Promotion des Latrines Ecologiques). They did 20+ events and I think they did 5-10 of these events on their own, without going through CREPA. But the equipment was deteriorating, and they had problems to get paid. "
