This document discusses health issues related to waste reuse and presents strategies to reduce risks. It notes that in many African cities, population growth has outpaced sanitation infrastructure development. Various health risks from pathogens in waste are discussed for fecal sludge composting, wastewater irrigation, and aquaculture. The document then outlines approaches like composting, irrigation techniques, and wastewater treatment that can reduce pathogen levels and make waste reuse safer. It presents data on how these approaches lower bacteria and helminth egg counts.
