The CLARA Simplified Planning Tool (SPT) aims to support local planners to find the best solution for water supply and sanitation in their planning objective. Simplified means that the software tool is based on numbers of assumptions, which allow the planner to use the SPT with the limited amount of data available at the pre-planning phase of a project.

Rapid urbanization has led to a sanitation crisis in low-income urban areas. How can limited public funding best be used to improve sanitation and reduce public health risks? City governments and development partners lack tools to assess the public health risks from poor sanitation. The SaniPath Exposure Assessment Tool is designed to assess risk related to poor sanitation and to help prioritize sanitation investments based on the exposures that have the greatest public health impact.
