Assessing Public Health Needs in a Lower Middle Income Country
«
"ARCHIVE Global continues to break new ground in connecting the expertise and creativity of the architecture and environmental design communities with the critical and often desperate needs of underserved informal communities around the world. Their work ranges from houses that help care for people and cure disease to larger issues of environmental stewardship. This publication documents the professional processes employed by ARCHIVE Global to explore, investigate, document, analyze, and respond to the needs of a particular community. However, in doing so, it also represents a replicable model that can be used elsewhere and for other purposes. At no time in recent memory are the issues addressed here more important. In our COVID-19 pandemic world it is absolutely necessary for the sanitary systems that support public health to be put in place for the protection of all peoples. I encourage all concerned to use the intelligence of this book and to support the continuing good works of ARCHIVE Global." - Lance Jay Brown, President, Consortium for Sustainable Urbanization, USA

This book demonstrates a methodology for assessing public health needs in communities experiencing environmental sanitation inadequacies. Centring on a case study of the Republic of Cameroon, the findings represent the starting point of a campaign to implement a comprehensive water and sanitation infrastructure through advocacy, housing improvements, and new service chains.

Based on an assessment report undertaken by ARCHIVE Global, an international non-profit organization focusing on the link between health and housing, this book:
Explores and establishes a causal relationship between the built environment and its impacts on public health
Uses the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as a benchmark for highlighting issues and challenges with sanitation infrastructure projects
Provides lessons for communities around the world facing environmental health issues similar to those Cameroon's Idenau Municipality deals with.
This book is intended for environmental health professionals, academics and policymakers, be they domestic to the African region or multinational practitioners. Donor countries, the likes of the United States and European nations, will also value the book's advocacy for interventions in the built environment and current public health impacts.
