Episode 1: SaniPath- A Decision Support Tool to Prioritize Citywide Sanitation Interventions

Now, more than ever, there are tools emerging to support cities to diagnose the sanitation situation, and more effectively assess and prioritize sanitation investments. SaniPath is one such tool! Back in 2016, the SaniPath Exposure Assessment Tool was developed by the Centre for Global Safe WASH at Emory to identify, compare, and inform decisions based on the risks posed by common fecal exposure pathways. Since then, the tool has been used to advocate and inform decisions related to sanitation policy, investment, and program design in countries including Ghana, Bangladesh, India, Mozambique, and Cambodia.  In this episode, we sit with the authors of one of the more recent SaniPath publications to better understand how the tool is used.  At the end of the day, this tool helps us to "move away from just building toilets, and rather identify and prioritize interventions that interrupt key fecal exposure pathways."
