  • Engaging with the Private Sector for Urban Onsite Sanitation Services Lessons from Six Sub-Saharan African Cities
    Engaging with the Private Sector for Urban Onsite Sanitation Services Lessons from six sub-Saharan African cities January 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BMGF and DFID Partnership Cities Project: an initiative to address the challenges of onsite sanitation services for the urban poor In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), over 300 million people use unimproved sanitation facilities (JMP 2017). The rapid pace of urbanization experienced across the continent poses a key challenge to urban authorities, who often struggle to match the rate of expansion with increased services. The extent of networked, and often poorly performing sewerage services is very limited in many African cities, with only around 9% of the urban population connected in SSA. Onsite sanitation prevails, particularly in low-income areas. Onsite sanitation is often deemed in sector policy to be a ‘private’ rather than a ‘public’ good. Households are therefore generally expected to invest in their own facilities, often with limited attention from governments on associated services, such as emptying, transport and treatment of fecal sludge (FS). Another common challenge is that governments do not consider pit toilets, which are widespread in many cities, to be an acceptable solution for urban areas. Fecal Sludge Management (FSM) in many African cities is characterized by unregulated private operators, poor quality services, particularly for low-income areas, and a lack of investment in infrastructure across the sanitation value chain. In 2013, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Department for International Development of the UK Government (DfID) launched the Partnership Cities Project. This project sought to find solutions to sustainable onsite sanitation services, aiming to support investments in infrastructure, build partnerships between key actors at city-level, and showcase new service delivery models.

  • Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature
    SocArXiv Preprint: May 25, 2020 Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature Yusuke Arima1* [email protected] Hideki Kikumoto2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Global suicide rates vary by country1, yet the cause of this variability has not yet been explained satisfactorily2,3. In this study, we analyzed averaged suicide rates4 and annual mean temperature in the early 21st century for 183 countries worldwide, and our results suggest that suicide rates vary with climatic temperature. The lowest suicide rates were found for countries with annual mean temperatures of approximately 20 °C. The correlation suicide rate and temperature is much stronger at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. In the countries with higher temperature, high suicide rates appear with its temperature over about 25 °C. We also investigated the variation in suicide rates with climate based on the Köppen–Geiger climate classification5, and found suicide rates to be low in countries in dry zones regardless of annual mean temperature. Moreover, there were distinct trends in the suicide rates in island countries. Considering these complicating factors, a clear relationship between suicide rates and temperature is evident, for both hot and cold climate zones, in our dataset. Finally, low suicide rates are typically found in countries with annual mean temperatures within the established human thermal comfort range. This suggests that climatic temperature may affect suicide rates globally by effecting either hot or cold thermal stress on the human body. KEYWORDS Suicide rate, Climatic temperature, Human thermal comfort, Köppen–Geiger climate classification Affiliation: 1 Department of Architecture, Polytechnic University of Japan, Tokyo, Japan.
