    A situation analysis of existing sanitation infrastructure in Fort Dauphin, South-east Madagascar
    (2003) Chamberlain, Simon Ross
    Due to historical and current national and international politico-economic activities, present day south-east Madagascar is characterised by poverty, inequality and underdevelopment. As a result water supply and sanitation provision, as one of the cornerstones of primary and preventative healthcare, has been neglected. A year of participant observation in the rural south-east provided a foundation for developing a strategy to assess the current geography of defecation and sanitation infrastructure, prevailing patterns of latrine use, alternative sources of faecal-oral disease and residents perceptions regarding improved sanitation in the port town of Fort Dauphin.
