| Abstract: | Purpose is to present a ease study of an innovative approach to the management of environmental health programmes in a large West African city. The case illustrates an attempt to tackle the problem of environmental health improvement through a process of partnership between public agencies and the community using an approach which takes account of the distinctive socio-economic characteristics of a ‘traditional’ city. Focusing on the management process rather than on technical problems of health and engineering;, the case-study describes the evolution of the Comfort Stations programme from its inception in 1969 to 1977, and presents the situation as at the latter date as a probles for discussion of strategies for the future continuation of the programme.
