Visão geral do programa
Rapid urban growth in West Africa places severe pressure on public health and municipal infrastructure, particularly in informal settlements and peri-urban zones. This course equips technical practitioners with the operational competencies required to plan, procure, and supervise non-sewered sanitation systems. Through the examination of established regional practices in Dakar, participants analyse the whole sanitation service chain, covering decentralised infrastructure construction, faecal sludge transport operations, and treatment plant performance monitoring in line with modern non-sewered sanitation standards.
Delegates evaluate low-cost urban pit latrine structural designs, lining options, and emptying interfaces suitable for high-density settings. The curriculum addresses the operational oversight of mechanical emptying fleets, formal licensing procedures for private service providers, and practical transfer station operations. Participants also explore occupational health and safety requirements, standard operating procedures for waste handling, and municipal enforcement mechanisms that reduce illegal dumping and protect vulnerable communities from pathogen exposure.
The training concludes with the technical requirements for commissioning and managing faecal sludge treatment plants, focusing on drying beds, anaerobic digestion, and co-composting systems. Attendees explore cost-reflective tariff structures, end-product valorisation pathways, and systematic public health surveillance protocols. Designed for practical public sector application, the programme enables municipal authorities and utility managers to deliver equitable, safely managed on-site sanitation services funded through national programmes and international development financing.
The programme addresses urgent technical and regulatory priorities aligned with the Burkina Faso Water Supply and Sanitation Programme and wider West African infrastructure initiatives. Rapid urbanisation requires immediate operational transitions from unmanaged on-site pits to regulated, citywide non-sewered sanitation services. By examining established municipal oversight, private-sector emptying licensing frameworks, and functional sludge treatment assets in Dakar, public institutions obtain actionable templates to direct capital investments, prevent groundwater contamination, and meet safely managed sanitation mandates under global development finance commitments.
Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Dakar, Senegal, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.
The Programme Strengthens Institutional Capability
- ISO 24521 and regional standards for non-sewered sanitation systems
- Geotechnical assessments, high water table design modifications, and soil permeability
- Structural engineering options for low-cost lined pits, septic tanks, and pour-flush units

On-Site Sanitation Facility Construction and Sludge Treatment Oversight in Dakar Training Methodology
The training employs an applied professional learning methodology combining technical lectures, regulatory case studies, and engineering problem-solving exercises. Participants review real-world blueprints, operational performance data, and regulatory documents from West African urban sanitation programmes. Working in small groups, delegates simulate commissioning procedures, design tariff mechanisms, and produce containment specifications, receiving direct technical critique from experienced public utility and sanitation infrastructure specialists throughout the five days.
O programa combina:
- Sessões conduzidas por especialistas sobre as práticas atuais
- Estudos de caso regionais e internacionais
- Trabalho de grupo e exercícios práticos
- Simulações e dramatizações, quando relevante

Relevância regional e aplicação
Europa
As instituições europeias tratam o clima, o ambiente e os recursos naturais no âmbito de quadros regulamentares e agendas de reforma pormenorizados. Os participantes europeus podem comparar a sua prática com colegas de outras regiões e testar o funcionamento de métodos consolidados em condições diferentes.
África
Em toda a África, os ministérios, organismos e equipas de projeto que trabalham em clima, ambiente e recursos naturais atuam cada vez mais em paralelo com programas financiados por doadores que exigem sistemas claros e evidência. O programa ajuda os participantes a adaptar as boas práticas às instituições e aos recursos com que trabalham.
Médio Oriente
No Médio Oriente, as estratégias nacionais de desenvolvimento e os planos de diversificação colocam exigências crescentes em matéria de clima, ambiente e recursos naturais. Os participantes exploram como criar, dentro dos organismos públicos e das empresas, a capacidade de que estes planos precisam.
Ásia
As instituições da Ásia aliam um crescimento rápido a programas de modernização ambiciosos. Os participantes asiáticos podem partilhar a sua experiência de expansão rápida de sistemas e aprender com abordagens utilizadas noutros contextos.
Pacífico
Os pequenos Estados insulares e do Pacífico enfrentam limitações específicas de dimensão, distância e capacidade. O programa destaca abordagens práticas e proporcionadas ao clima, ao ambiente e aos recursos naturais adequadas a instituições de menor dimensão.
Holding the programme in Dakar, Senegal brings participants together away from their daily pressures, so they can compare how climate, environment and natural resources is handled in different settings. The same programme can also be delivered in-house for one institution, in its own country or online, with cases taken from its current work.
Host Country Profile – Senegal
Training programmes and study tours in Dakar suit professionals, project teams, and civil servants seeking exposure to West African governance, regional trade, and infrastructure development.
Estudar fora do seu país dá aos participantes tempo para se concentrarem, um olhar novo sobre a sua própria instituição e a oportunidade de criar uma rede com colegas de outros países.
