ABOUT US

COORDINATING THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF INNOVATION AROUND INNOVATIVE AND EMERGING SANITATION TECHNOLOGIES

The SASTEP platform organizes various components, systems, role players and resources required to foster a new and emerging sanitation industry in South Africa. Through strategic partnerships with relevant stakeholders and policy makers SASTEP seeks to enhance existing policy and regulatory frameworks that will promote, support, and attempt to remove impediments to a new sanitation paradigm. Through providing guidance and support, the programme will champion the harmonization of product and performance standardization to enable the development of suitable sanitation technologies, provide end-users with confidence and assurance, reduce cost, minimize waste, and increase productivity at different levels of the sanitation value chain.

LATEST TWEETS FROM @SASTEP_ZA

As we close out a successful 2024, we at SASTEP look forward to a successful year ahead.

May our Water-Efficient Sanitation Systems experience more CS investment, & may we be able to tick off more of our goals to improve and provide dignified sanitation for all in South Africa.

On 3 Sept 2024, the Next-Generation Sanitation Knowledge Hub was launched! It offers access to information, data, funding opportunities & connections with service providers as well as fostering a community of stakeholders that include manufacturers, policy makers & researchers.

The mandate of the South African Sanitation Technology Evaluation Programme (SASTEP) is to pilot and demonstrate local & international innovative sanitation technologies, and showcase how they can function within our local communities & municipalities.
