Collecte et évacuation des boues de vidange dans la ville de Bafoussam, Cameroun (Afrique centrale)
The aim of this study is to describe the system of collection and evacuation of faecal sludge in Bafoussam (Cameroon), to raise the insufficiencies in order to propose a method for a better management. The actors and their roles in the chain of management of faecal sludge were identified. Faecal was...
