However, the deployment of excreta management outside the water cycle faces major obstacles that could be associated with a strong socio-technical lock-in. This lock-in is the result of a combination of factors attributable to a lack of awareness of the fertilizing power of excreta, restrictive hygiene standards, imaginations that are unfavorable to excreta,...
