Title: Planning approaches for sanitation systems in peri-urban areas: a case study from Tanzania
Abstract: The planning and improvement of sanitation systems represents a critical problem for low-income

Community-Led Urban Environmental Sanitation (CLUES) and the Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP)
approaches, tested for the design of an improved sanitation system in peri-urban areas of Iringa

analyse their strengths and weaknesses, and possibilities to increase their potentials with an integrated
use. The experience, applied to a case study, aims to be an example of application for practitioners
dealing with sanitation planning in context showing similar characteristics.
