oriented sanitation in informal settlements of Arusha. The study aims at developing mechanism for
integrating resource oriented sanitation in informal settlements. The study revealed that, housing or land
ownership is among of the challenges in implementing resource oriented sanitation in these settlements.
It was also observed that 35% of households do not own land; as such do not see the need of improving
sanitation system. Also limited space to extent that becomes difficult to construct another toilet or empty
when one is full, lack of awareness and the adoption of supply driven approach which do not consider
peoples demand. The paper assessed ability and willingness to pay for resource oriented sanitation
