  • Piloting of a Mobile Fecal Sludge Transfer Tank in Five Divisions of Kampala Martin Mawejje May, 2018
    Piloting of a Mobile Fecal Sludge Transfer Tank in Five Divisions of Kampala Martin Mawejje May, 2018 Photograph 1: Transfer tank in a slum within Makindye Division, Kampala Background Water For People in 2013 partnered with GIZ to increase access to sanitation coverage through promotion of sustainable sanitation technologies and scaling up the pit emptying business in three parishes: Bwaise I, Bwaise II and Nateete. Among the achievements of this engagement was the recruitment of six entrepreneurs, of which five are still active to-date, and development of business plans for the entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs could empty over 400 pit latrines by the end of the project period. One of the challenges to the gulper entrepreneurs and clients during the 2013 project was the high costs of gulping. The business model implemented was deemed to be more expensive for some communities, particularly due to transportation costs that are factored into the cost per trip made to dumping site, and thus borne by the client. The project recommended the need to have a system that will ensure affordable collection costs incurred by the client. A pilot test of a small fixed transfer tank system in the fecal sludge management (FSM) chain (Figure 1) which would allow transport cost savings for manual pit latrine emptying businesses was initiated. However, the project failed due to land issues that are common in Kampala. Some land owners were not authentic. In other areas, the development plans would not allow permanent transfer tanks, while hiring private land or buying is not only expensive but unsustainable. It is with this background that an idea of mobile sludge transfer tanks was conceived.
