Isabella Montgomery, CBSA’s Programme Manager, shares some key insights on container-based sanitation from this year’s UNC Water and Health Conference.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has developed transformative new guidelines aimed at expanding access to climate finance for sanitation projects, paving the way for increased funding for sustainable and climate-resilient sanitation.
CBSA is delighted to announce the publication of a new guide designed to help sanitation authorities integrate container-based sanitation (CBS) into their service portfolios. The resource aims to inspire and empower authorities to embrace CBS as an inclusive, climate-smart, and scalable solution that supports their ambitions to leave no one behind in providing safe and dignified sanitation services.

Pathways to a healthy net-zero future by The Lancet Pathfinder Commission identifies container-based sanitation (CBS) as key solution for delivering climate action and health co-benefits.
USAID’s report, Managing the climate impact of human waste, which examines existing knowledge about methane emissions and abatement approaches for urban sanitation in low- and middle-income countries, proposes immediate investment in CBS for its high methane abatement potential.
We are very pleased to share the publication of new guidelines and best practices for container-based sanitation (CBS), developed to support service improvements in Cape Town, to be adopted and adapted both by Cape Town as well as more widely within South Africa.
Two new organisations based in Bolivia and the United States join the alliance.
We are happy to announce our refreshed CBSA strategy for 2024 to 2027!
