Abstract

Using systems thinking principles, this report explores the development of on-site sanitation (OSS) in two capital cities over the last ten years – Lusaka, Zambia, and Maputo, Mozambique – and provides insights into how the WASH system can deliver better results for urban residents in both cities. 

The key insights gained from the case studies are:

  • begin by optimising one part of the system
  • embrace the power of process
  • design investments to address genuine systems constraints
  • anticipate and factor in delays
