The Compendium is a popular and widely used international reference planning tool in the sanitation sector. The purpose of the Compendium is to promote a systemic approach in planning sanitation systems and technologies. The first part of the document describes different system configurations for a variety of contexts. The second part consists of various information sheets describing the main advantages and disadvantages of different technologies required to build comprehensive sanitation systems in low- and middle-income settings.

This version of the Compendium is the first in Arabic. It represents a long needed instrument towards improved sanitation. Engineers, planners, decision-makers, non- governmental organizations staff as well as students are now provided with an easily accessible knowledge tool and guide on how to achieve improvements in sanitation systems within contexts of scarce water resources, population growth and conflicts.
