| Abstract | The report looks at the planning process for a sanitation programme in a poor urban setting (squatter areas of Montego Bay, Jamaica). The locations concerned are Rosemont and Norwood - areas of housing built on rocky, steep hillsides. The sanitation improvements are being undertaken as part of an upgrade programme funded by USAID/Jamaica. The report discusses characteristics of successful sanitation planning drawing on findings from the Collaborative Council's Working Groups on Sanitation and Services for the Urban Poor, joint efforts of UNICEF, PAHO, and other international donors. Then it discusses the case study from Jamaica to describe how these characteristics and steps were employed in a specific programme planning effort. At the end of the planning period, a work plan for the local implementing organization, a Jamaican NGO, was also prepared. |
