Abstract | For the 4 targeted feasibility cities of the RRR project, the health components around the selected business models (BM) employed two methodologies, with two different foci: Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and the Health Impact Assessment (HIA). The HRA aimed at identifying health risks associated with the input resources (e.g. faecal sludge, waste water) of proposed BMs and defining what control measures are needed for safeguarding occupational health and producing outputs (e.g. treated waste water, soil conditioner) that are compliant with national and international quality requirements. The HIA aimed at identifying potential health impacts (positive or negative) at community level under the scenario that the proposed BMs are implemented at scale in Kampala area. The magnitude of potential impacts was determined by means of a semi-quantitative impact assessment. |
