WECF and local partners have built more than 20 Urine Diverting Dry Toilet (UDDT) Buildings for schools, as demonstration projects in different countries of the Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) region.

This brochure is intended for school-directors and teachers, administration-employees, engineers, architects and construction workers from the field and NGOs. It includes design and maintenance guidelines for UDDT systems in schools, and photographs of the systems used in the project countries.
The brochure was realized with financial support of Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fondation Ensemble (France) and the European Commission DG Environment.
