    Description

    All kinds of people experience a variety of physical difficulties, which can make it difficult to use standard designs of latrines. For example, elderly men and women with weak legs may struggle to squat or rise from the squatting position when using a standard latrine, and there may be nothing for a pregnant woman, or a person with a high fever to hold onto for balance as they use the latrine. There may not be enough space for a mother to enter the latrine cubicle to help her child or a dependant family member, and some people may be bedridden, for example, in a hospital situation. Effective sanitation in emergencies is important for human health but also for human dignity, and this should be a right for all people, whatever their abilities or limitations. In humanitarian situations there may also be increased numbers of people with physical disabilities, for example, from injuries or trauma caused by an earthquake or a tsunami, or as the result of conflict or unexploded landmines and ordinance. With quite simple modifications, latrines can be made user-friendly for physically vulnerable people. This Technical Brief highlights good practice in this area. It has drawn its information from OXFAM good practice in the field, including discussions with users who have disabilities, and from WEDC research ‘Water and Sanitation for Disabled People and Other Vulnerable Groups’ (Jones and Reed, 2005).

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
