Revision history [back]

The question is quite broad, as is the meaning of community particpation. The reality is that all interventions are based on participation, and each agency seeks to manage it in one way or another. Anyway, I am not sure if the following will be useful.

You could contact the DEC, community participation and review their exteranl evaluations, which always include a section on community participation. Evidence is a strong word to use, and from the reports that I have reviewed it is often circumstantial. On the other hand the evaluations are independent and often include a high degree of stakeholder discussions, and they use a limited number of conusltants on these so you mybe able to line up interviews.

Oxfam used a waste management company/environmental sanitation company in Port au Prince, there is a project report on the EEH 2010 conference on the Loughboro/WEDC website. Oxfam are also experimenting with PPP models and local organisations on sanitation in the Nairobi slums, this is still very much at the pilot stage.

You could also try looking at the exponentially increasing volume of literature on CLTS (I think UNICEF have rebranded this a little to Community Based Total Sanitation, but the central idea remains the same) the TearFund have used CLTS in humnaitarian conexts in South Sudan, so you could contact them. Alternatively try https://www.communityledtotalsanitation.org/
