According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poor sanitary conditions existing in major urban areas of Less Developed Countries (LDCs) contribute to early deaths of millions of young children each year from numerous preventable diseases. By 1998, the WHO had estimated that "the poorest 1000 million people on earth were seven times more likely to die from infectious diseases and poor household living conditions---most of which are directly related to bad sanitation." Some of these health hazards and disease outbreaks such as cholera, bilharzia, diarrhea etc are easily preventable diseases with minimum observance of sanitary hygiene.

520 $a According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poor sanitary conditions existing in major urban areas of Less Developed Countries (LDCs) contribute to early deaths of millions of young children each year from numerous preventable diseases. By 1998, the WHO had estimated that "the poorest 1000 million people on earth were seven times more likely to die from infectious diseases and poor household living conditions---most of which are directly related to bad sanitation." Some of these health hazards and disease outbreaks such as cholera, bilharzia, diarrhea etc are easily preventable diseases with minimum observance of sanitary hygiene.
520 $a Historically, urban sanitation has been given extremely low priority in comparison with other general development needs. In most developing countries, sanitation coverage has remained constant at about one third of the total population since 1970. According to the World Health Organization, the total world population without adequate sanitation was expected to increase to 3300 million by the year 2000.
520 $a This study attempts to demonstrate the merits and viability of using "custom tailored" principles of Community Participation Approach (CPA), in the provision of socially viable and economically sustainable systems of improved urban sanitation services in LDCs. It examines the inadequacy of existing operational and managerial systems in the provision of basic sanitation services to low income urban dwellers, with specific reference to sewage disposal and solid waste collection services in Tanzania.
520 $a The study proposes an alternative model, called a "Tripartite Urban Development Partnership", involving the effective participation of three main stakeholders; individuals and community groups, the private sector and the local municipal authorities, in bringing about more adequate and sustainable basic service deliveries to the majority of urban dwellers. Indeed, this study is critical to the future chances of improved health and the very survival of millions of urban communities that daily gamble with their life in such highly risky and hazardous living conditions in Tanzania as well as in other LDCs. In terms of academic and professional relevance, this study adds new literature to the existing body of knowledge in the field of urban environment and sanitation.
520 $a The study is organized in six chapters. Chapter one covers study objectives, definition of terms, methodology, main thesis and hypothesis, scope and limitations while chapter two gives a review of related literature. Chapter three looks at urbanization trends and underlying effects on provision of urban services in Tanzania. An overview of the current situation regarding the status of sewage disposal and solid waste collection services is presented in chapter four. Chapter five covers the case study presentation including data analysis and testing of study hypothesis. Finally, general study conclusions and specific policy recommendations are presented in chapter six.
