About
The laboratory for faecal sludge analysis at 2iE
was opened on 2005 to promote the
development of scientific knowledge on
faecal sludge management. The laboratory
has been gradually equipped using funds
from the Switzerland Agency for
Development and Cooperation, the Japan
International Cooperation Agency through
the project entitled Improving Sustainable
Water and Sanitation Systems in Sahel Region
in Africa: Case of Burkina Faso, and the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation through project
Stimulating Local Innovation on sanitation for
the Urban Poor in Sub-Saharan Africa and
South-East Asia. The laboratory is used for
both academic and research activities for
masters and PhD students, capacity building
of sanitation professionals and building the
expertise on faecal sludge characterization.
