WN THIS paper an attempt is made to discuss several miscellaneous factors which are crucial to the successful implementation of any improved sanitation system in Africa. In most cases, there is little except a few words of common sense to say. Such factors as institutional development, user acceptance and health education do not have a well developed body of theory and practice. The central facts, however, are relatively obvious and simple while the subtleties and complications are largely unknown and unstudied.
