Mobile Toilets (MTs)• Mobile Toilets operated
under Public Private Partnership (PPP).
• Limited holding capacity of the tank – limited water use for cleaning and washing.

Findings
• Most of the questionnaire respondents (65%) preferred public latrines of CSCs.
• Currently, PPP and BOOT modality of CSCs - better modality.
• CSCs and MTs – relatively better services.
• CSCs and MTs profitable – good case for sustainability.

Issues• CSCs’ and MTs’ hygiene standard
is still below par .
• Fecal waste of CSCs directly discharged into city sewerage line; innovation to utilize fecal waste through on-site bio-gas plant.
• Lack of adequate water in CSCs for users cleanliness – rain water harvesting options.
• MTs - limited holding capacity and problems with waste disposal.
•Lack of adherence to stated agreement by KMC and the companies

Challenges• No public toilets are child-friendly/differently-able
friendly. Should be incorporated in ‘to be constructed public toilets’.
• Monitoring mechanism weak – Provision for investing certain percentage of profit in maintaining toilets.
• Public Toilet should be free – fares should be minimum.
• CSCs focused only in core city areas and has not addressed informal settlements. How to address this problem?
