Improving the acceptability of the DEWATS technology to the community (es) in Dar es Salam, Tanzania, can only be possible by the application of new knowledge and approaches to strengthen our strategies and policies towards adequate and equitable sanitation.The studies conducted by UKZN, eThekwini and BORDA on the adaptability and functioning of DEWATS in South Africa indicates the presence of derived factors which will be very supportive during the project implementation to bring up positive results. The clear indication of the acceptance of DEWATS technology by people from Durban which was due to the hard work done by the government (eThekwini municipality), Universities UKZN) and other stakeholders (BORDA), indicates that when this type of strategy is followed up with focus on solving the problem there are great chances of improving the sanitation situation to Dar es Salaam dwellers.
