Results from the Evaluation Workshop

The workshop set out to provide orientation for the feasibility of implementing circular sanitation solutions in the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region (MABR). Previous to the workshop I engaged critical actors along the potential human nutrient cycle. Through semi-structured interviews and life-prototyping of soft systems models we identified barriers and pathways to establishing water-free sanitation with resource recovery (circular sanitation) on a regional scale on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. The outcome are the identification of three Starting Points for Action and one Impact Indicator for evaluating the progress.
