关于水和环境卫生的可持续发展目标为马拉维提供了一个机会，以审查到2030年改善和维持农村家庭环境卫生覆盖面的新方法。本文评估了培训农村坑式厕所泥瓦匠成为环卫企业家的影响以及环卫营销的作用。该文件使用了对马拉维15个区的76名泥瓦匠进行的追踪研究，这些泥瓦匠是在联合国儿童基金会（儿童基金会）马拉维方案下由姆祖祖大学培训的，该方案旨在促进有支架的坑式厕所设计。研究结果表明，一些泥瓦匠正在建造坑式厕所，但并非所有方案受训人员都使用了他们的新知识。泥瓦匠是兼职和非正式的供应商。我们的研究结果表明，有必要扩大和培训更多的坑式厕所泥瓦匠，并有必要加强卫生营销方案的培训组成部分。还建议将泥瓦匠登记为卫生设施提供者，确定适合泥瓦匠的新的筹资机制，并加强合作。
The Sustainable Development Goals on water and sanitation offer an opportunity for Malawi to examine new approaches to improving and sustaining rural household sanitation coverage by the year 2030. This paper assessed the impact of training rural pit latrine masons as sanitation entrepreneurs and the role of sanitation marketing. The paper used a tracer study of 76 masons from 15 districts in Malawi trained by Mzuzu University under a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Malawi programme promoting the corbelled pit latrine design. The results from the study showed that pit latrines were being built by some masons, but that not all programme trainees had used their new knowledge. Masons were part-time and informal providers. Our results indicate a need to scale-up and train more pit latrine masons and the necessity to enhance the sanitation marketing programme component of the training. The registration of masons as sanitation providers, the identification of novel financing mechanisms appropriate for the masons and improved collaboration are also recommended.
