Since 2003, WECF has implemented Urine Diverting Dry Toilets (UDDTs) (individual and public/schools) as sustainable sanitation solution in Central and Eastern Europe,
the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA), specifically in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Romania, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The UDD technology is especially suitable for areas without functioning water supply and wastewater andimproves the hygienic and environmental conditions at once.
