🤓 This Policy Brief examines the social and economic impacts of implementing Simplified Sewerage Systems (SSS) in the informal settlement of Mji Mpya. Through the collection of qualitative and quantitative data, the research focuses on four issues: the economic impacts of SSS on residents; the social impacts of the SSS on the community; the ongoing maintenance of the SSS; and the ways that transformative policy might support the scaling-up of SSS across other informal settlements in Dar es Salaam. ✊
