Overview

Surveys reveal low adherence to sanitation practices with dual-pit latrines in rural Cambodia, suggesting health risks.

Key Points

  • Three in five households failed to recall recommended treatment durations for fecal sludge management.
  • Households appreciated the alternating dual-pit latrine's benefits, yet none adhered to recommended treatment practices.
  • Survey of 765 households across five provinces in Cambodia assessed sanitation practices and their impact on adherence.
  • Improving sanitation practices is essential for achieving safe management of fecal sludge in rural settings.
