2017-2023 (ONGOING PROJECT), FABULOUS URBAN
MOBILE DRY DIVERSION TOILET – WORKSHOP ADDIS ABEBA/ETHIOPIA
On-site research workshop of the Mobile Dry Diversion Toilet in Addis Abeba/Ethiopia
This interactive workshop was supposed to develop solutions to still unsolved issues of the „Mobile Dry Diversion Toilet“ for an implementation in Addis Abeba. These have to be developed specifically for every community (in this case the Aware community), and are regarding product design as well as governance topics. These solutions can only be found when working hand-in-hand with members of the community, and only if they are willing to engage in a long-term process.

Kalkidan Debela (Master student of EiABC),
