AssainissementL’assainissement est une démarche visant à améliorer la situation sanitaire globale de l'environnement dans ses différents composants. Il comprend la collecte, le traitement et l'évacuation des déchets liquides, des déchets solides et des excréments. L'objectif principal est la prévention du contact humain avec des substances dangereuses, spécialement les fèces en mettant en place des systèmes de traitement et d'évacuation des déchets.
Improved sanitationImproved sanitation (related to but distinct from a "safely managed sanitation service") is a term used to categorize types of sanitation for monitoring purposes. It refers to the management of human feces at the household level. The term was coined by the Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation of UNICEF and WHO in 2002 to help monitor the progress towards Goal Number 7 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The opposite of "improved sanitation" has been termed "unimproved sanitation" in the JMP definitions.
Assainissement écologiquevignette|JANICKI OMNI PROCESSOR, prise au siège de Janicki Bioenergy à Sedro-Woolley, WA, avec l'aimable autorisation de Janicki Bioenergy L'assainissement écologique (souvent appelé EcoSan, abréviation de l'anglais Ecological Sanitation) désigne de façon générale tout mode d’assainissement basé sur la dissociation des flux d'eaux ménagères et des excreta et la valorisation de l'urine et des matières fécales par des toilettes sèches. Ce sont des alternatives aux méthodes classiques d'assainissements, tant collectifs qu'individuels (fosse septique, microstation d'épuration.
Sanitation workerA sanitation worker (or sanitary worker) is a person responsible for cleaning, maintaining, operating, or emptying the equipment or technology at any step of the sanitation chain. This is the definition used in the narrower sense within the WASH sector. More broadly speaking, sanitation workers may also be involved in cleaning streets, parks, public spaces, sewers, stormwater drains, and public toilets. Another definition is: "The moment an individual’s waste is outsourced to another, it becomes sanitation work.
Sustainable Sanitation AllianceThe Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) is a loose network of organizations who are "working along the same lines towards achieving sustainable sanitation". It began its work in 2007, one year before the United Nations International Year of Sanitation in 2008. The intention of creating SuSanA was to have a joint label for the planned activities for 2008 and to align the various organizations for further initiatives. SuSanA has over 360 partner organizations and over 13,000 individual members (as of March 2021).
Analyse coût-avantagevignette|Exemple de graphique d'analyse coût-avantage L'analyse coût-avantage aussi connue comme analyse coût-bénéfice (anglicisme) est un terme qui renvoie tout à la fois à : une méthode formelle que l'on utilise pour aider à estimer ou évaluer le dossier monté pour un projet ou une proposition, ce dossier étant lui-même une « estimation de projet » ; une approche informelle pour prendre une décision, quelle qu'elle soit.
Community-led total sanitationCommunity-led total sanitation (CLTS) is an approach used mainly in developing countries to improve sanitation and hygiene practices in a community. The approach tries to achieve behavior change in mainly rural people by a process of "triggering", leading to spontaneous and long-term abandonment of open defecation practices. It focuses on spontaneous and long-lasting behavior change of an entire community. The term "triggering" is central to the CLTS process: It refers to ways of igniting community interest in ending open defecation, usually by building simple toilets, such as pit latrines.
Cost-effectiveness analysisCost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a form of economic analysis that compares the relative costs and outcomes (effects) of different courses of action. Cost-effectiveness analysis is distinct from cost–benefit analysis, which assigns a monetary value to the measure of effect. Cost-effectiveness analysis is often used in the field of health services, where it may be inappropriate to monetize health effect.
Cost–utility analysisCost–utility analysis (CUA) is a form of economic analysis used to guide procurement decisions. The most common and well-known application of this analysis is in pharmacoeconomics, especially health technology assessment (HTA). In health economics, the purpose of CUA is to estimate the ratio between the cost of a health-related intervention and the benefit it produces in terms of the number of years lived in full health by the beneficiaries. Hence it can be considered a special case of cost-effectiveness analysis, and the two terms are often used interchangeably.

La pauvreté désigne dans une société donnée le fait d'être dans une situation d'infériorité matérielle par rapport aux individus les plus favorisés; cela se traduit notamment par des difficultés à subvenir à ses besoins et à ceux de ses proches, mais aussi par une stigmatisation de la part des personnes plus riches.
Poverty reductionPoverty reduction, poverty relief, or poverty alleviation is a set of measures, both economic and humanitarian, that are intended to permanently lift people out of poverty. Measures, like those promoted by Henry George in his economics classic Progress and Poverty, are those that raise, or are intended to raise, ways of enabling the poor to create wealth for themselves as a conduit of ending poverty forever. In modern times, various economists within the Georgism movement propose measures like the land value tax to enhance access to the natural world for all.
Cycle of povertyIn economics, a cycle of poverty or poverty trap is caused by self-reinforcing mechanisms that cause poverty, once it exists, to persist unless there is outside intervention. It can persist across generations, and when applied to developing countries, is also known as a development trap. Families trapped in the cycle of poverty have few to no resources. There are many self-reinforcing disadvantages that make it virtually impossible for individuals to break the cycle.
Programme des Nations unies pour le développementLe Programme des Nations unies pour le développement (PNUD) fait partie des programmes et fonds de l'ONU. Son rôle est d'aider les pays en développement en leur fournissant des conseils mais également en plaidant leurs causes pour l'octroi de dons. C'est ainsi que ce programme travaille en collaboration avec de nombreux autres programmes comme l'Onusida et d'autres organisations internationales (UPU et OMS notamment). Son siège est situé à New York, aux États-Unis.
Extreme povertyExtreme poverty is the most severe type of poverty, defined by the United Nations (UN) as "a condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on income but also on access to services". Historically, other definitions have been proposed within the United Nations. In 2018, extreme poverty mainly refers to an income below the international poverty line of $1.
