Papua New Guinea: Faecal Sludge Management in Port Moresby

Half of the population in Port Moresby dispose of their faecal waste via networked wastewater systems (sewerage or storm water drains) of which only 10% is safely transported and treated. The networked wastewater system failures are caused by the congestion of the sewers with foreign objects and overloading with water. Almost all the other half
of the population reside in non-networked or informal settlements using on-site sanitation systems with only 4% safely transported and treated.
