| Abstract | This manual focuses on the design and construction of child-friendly school water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in Ethiopia. Following a general introduction on the importance of school WASH facilities, it provides an overview of the different water supply options available for schools in Ethiopia together with their designs and related technical details. The next sections of the manual provide detailed designs for dry toilet facilities, urinals, handwashing facilities and infiltration pits and trenches for wastewater management. The final two sections cover green technologies and the management of WASH facilities. Technical design drawings and bills of quantities are included in the manual's annexes. |
