Village propre et productif
Summary
The document outlines the 'Village propre et productif' (VPP) framework, which aims to improve rural health and agricultural production by managing sanitation risks and reusing waste. It details two main components: the 'Propre' (Clean) track, focusing on risk management and hygiene, and the 'Productif' (Productive) track, focusing on the safe recovery of nutrients from human and animal waste. The report provides comprehensive indicator checklists for households to achieve 'Clean' or 'Productive' status, a fictional case study of a village named 'Dogodogo' to illustrate data visualization, and recommendations for national validation and digital tool implementation in Burkina Faso.
Key insights
- The 'Village propre et productif' (VPP) framework is designed to enhance both health and agricultural production by managing local contamination risks and encouraging the safe reuse of wastes such as human and animal excreta, organic waste, ash, and wastewater.
- In Burkina Faso, the 'Propre' (Clean) component largely overlaps with existing 'Open Defecation Free' (ODF/FDAL) certification criteria, making the 'Productif' (Productive) component the primary innovation for advancing sanitation ambitions.
- The 'Productif' track monitors seven types of rural waste: human urine, human feces, animal urine, animal excrement, greywater, ash, and other organic household waste.
- Evaluation of the 'Productif' track is based on three key criteria for each waste type: Quantity (targeting over 75% collection), Safety (reducing health risks), and Efficiency (reducing fertilizer loss).
- A household is recognized as a 'Ménage productif' only when all 27 indicators across the seven productive waste components are positive.
- The 'Propre' track requires households to meet 35 indicators across seven components: latrines and fecal sludge management, solid waste, animal waste, greywater, domestic water, handwashing, and food hygiene to achieve 'Ménage propre' status.
- The report suggests a tiered scoring system for indicators: green (all indicators positive), orange (all but one positive), and red (two or more negative).
- To operationalize the VPP framework in Burkina Faso, the authors recommend national validation of indicators by ministries of Health, Water and Sanitation, Agriculture, and Environment.
- The report proposes using digital tools like M-water for data collection and QR codes for household feedback to track progress and share best practices via a 'VPP hub' or WhatsApp.
