Guidelines and material for strategic planning

Dear Qasem,
the best decentralized system for a city like Kabul depends a lot on local conditions, as :
-climate
-local culture and what is socially accepted
-already existing infrastructure
-the costs local households can pay
-local political and communal organisation
-etc.
As local conditions are really important, there is not an unique answer.

To start, I would like to recommend you some material done by EAWAG in Switzerland which can help you to design a full system :
CLUES : Community-Led Urban Environmental Sanitation Planning
http://www.sandec.ch/forschung/sandec/gruppen/SESP/projects_sesp/clues/i...
This guidelines are mostly about planning and implementing a sanitation system.

Compendium : http://www.eawag.ch/forschung/sandec/publikationen/compendium_e/index_EN
Mostly about more technical aspects

There also has been a open online course on this. Videos can be found here :

Finally, I can also recommend you the SUSANA Forum where you can find a lot of people having worked in this kind of projects.

I hope this information will help you.

Best regards,
Patrick
