Avancement du cadre d’assainissement « Village propre et productif » (VPP) pour améliorer la santé et la production agricole

The 'Clean and Productive Village' (VPP) framework aims to advance rural sanitation beyond the elimination of open defecation by integrating risk management (the 'Clean' pillar) and resource recovery (the 'Productive' pillar). In Burkina Faso, the framework focuses on the safe reuse of human excreta, animal waste, organic waste, ash, and greywater to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. Pilot implementations in three villages demonstrated high community interest in recycling nutrients, though perceptions of risk vary between human and animal waste. The report details participatory tools for diagnosis and capacity building, a monitoring system based on specific indicators, and emphasizes the necessity of collaborating with the agricultural sector to ensure the safe and effective application of recovered nutrients.

• The VPP framework consists of two main pillars following the initial achievement of 'Open Defecation Free' (ODF) status: a 'Clean' pillar to reduce health risks from various waste streams and a 'Productive' pillar to promote the safe reuse of nutrients (N, P, K), water, and organic matter.
• In Burkina Faso, the potential nutrient value of human excreta is significant; an average person excretes nutrients equivalent to approximately 15 kg of chemical fertilizer per year, with a market value between 4,400 and 9,800 FCFA.
• Baseline studies in three pilot villages revealed that 89% to 100% of respondents observed declining soil fertility, and 92% to 98% expressed interest in the safe recycling of urine and hygienized fecal matter.
• Community perceptions in pilot areas differ by waste type: human urine and feces are viewed as having low value and high risk, whereas animal excreta are perceived as high value and low risk, despite 98% of households keeping livestock in domestic areas.
• The VPP implementation strategy is technologically neutral, focusing on outcomes such as risk reduction and productive reuse rather than specific technologies, allowing for local solutions like Ecosan latrines, Arborloos, or simple urinals.
• Progress monitoring for the 'Productive' pillar is based on three criteria for each waste component: quantity (target >75% of waste generated collected), safety (based on WHO multi-barrier approach), and efficiency (reducing nutrient loss and avoiding over-fertilization).
