The remaining chapters describe the steps to develop a citywide sanitation strategy.
- Chapter 's two to six explain the five major steps of the process: a) establishing a working group, b) city sanitation mapping, c) defining a sanitation development framework, d) preparing a strategy for sanitation services development, and e) preparing a strategy for development of non-technical aspects.
