“…Parallel to water and sanitation facility access, domestic waste management is an equally important component of hygiene that impacts health. A study in Nigeria found adverse health effects stemming from improper domestic waste management [ 16 ]. The World Bank reported a large divide in domestic waste management in 2016, where the percentage of waste collection in low- to middle-income countries were less than the average global rates [ 17 ].…”

Access to improved water and sanitation is essential. We describe these practices in Malaysia using data from a nationwide community survey and used logistic regression to assess the determinants. Of the 7978 living quarters (LQs), 58.3% were in urban areas. About 2.4%, 0.5% and 27.4% of LQs had non-improved water sources, non-improved toilet types and improper domestic waste disposal, respectively. Open burning was practiced by 26.1%. Water source was a problem for long houses (10.5%), squatters (8.5%) and shared houses (4.0%). Non-improved toilet types were 11.9% for squatters and 4.8% for shared houses. Improper domestic waste disposal practices were higher for occupants of village houses (64.2%), long houses (54.4%), single houses (45.8%) and squatters (35.6%). An increase in education or income level was associated with a decrease in improper domestic waste disposal methods. House type significantly affected water and sanitation after adjusting for the effects of other variables. Lower household income was associated with non-improved toilet types and improper domestic waste disposal. Lower education and rural location influenced domestic waste disposal. The water and toilet facilities in Malaysia were generally good, while domestic waste management practices could be improved. There remain pockets of communities with environmental challenges for the nation.

“…14 In order to overcome these problems the best option would be to implement sustainable solid waste management programs based on socioeconomic, environmental, and technicalissues. 15,16 Factors that can influence the sustainability of sustainable waste are the behavior of sorting waste, the behavior of 3R and the difficulty of man-aging waste. 17 The driving factors that play a role in the sustainability of waste management include the role of community leaders, economic benefits, social benefits, environmental benefits, waste management networks, and stimulation and facilitation of local governments.…”

Based on the primary survey, the knowledge, the attitude and the behavior on household waste management at Cililitan was well adequate but there are still residents who have not managed household waste properly. Infrastructure, community, and organization readiness are important in making sustainable waste management. This study aims to analyze readiness community participation on household waste management at Cililitan. This was a qualitative research which used chair-men of the community organization as the sample. Data were collected by in-depth interviews , FGD and analyzed by content analysis. The results showed that the readiness of community participation in waste management from organizational aspects was still inadequate due to the absence of an independent team, coordination forum, and training. The technical aspects, waste sorting has not been carried out according to its type at the household scale. No further waste management such as composting has been carried out. The aspect of financing has a self-funded. The conclusion of this study is the readiness of community participation from organizational and technical aspects still needs to be improved. Suggestions in the future , the waste bank will be formed and training will be held so the community can manage household wasteindependently.

“…Refuse disposal method has also been found to significantly affect diarrhoea and other health conditions in developing regions. 35,36 Long duration of water storage increased the risk of diarrhoea as found in group A probably due to increased frequency of handling and proliferation of micro-organisms on storage.…”

Background: Consumption of unsafe water contributes to diarrhoeal burden in sub-Sahara Africa. This burden can be reduced by simple and affordable methods of household water treatment. The study aims at comparing the effect of two of such methods on diarrheal burden among under-fives in rural communities of Plateau State. Methodology: A community-based quasi experimental study was conducted among 202 underfive-caregiver pairs in two selected rural communities of Plateau State, involving household water treatment with flocculant-disinfectant powder in intervention group and sodium hypochlorite solution in control group respectively. History of diarrhoea before intervention, at 2 weekly intervals during the intervention and after intervention was assessed. Data obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 23. Prevalence and incidence of diarrhoea were calculated and compared among the two groups. Result: Diarrhoea prevalence at pre-intervention was 19.6% in flocculant-disinfectant group and 17.0% in sodium hypochlorite group. At post intervention, the prevalence reduced significantly by 94.7% (19.6% to 1%) in intervention group and by 76.5% (17% to 4.2%) in control group. There was no statistical significant difference in the prevalence of diarrhoea between the two groups, however, diarrhoea incidence in the sodium hypochlorite group (1.12 episode per child per year) was significantly higher than the incidence in the flocculant-disinfectant group (0.59 episodes per child per year) with a risk-ratio of 1.93 (95% CI: 1.037 - 3.703). Conclusion: Household water treatment with flocculant-disinfectant reduced diarrhoea burden better than sodium hypochlorite. This technology should be made more available and assessible to rural communities where diarrhea burden is high.
