ABSTRACT
Besides human rights and humanitarian principles, there are other principles for sanitation governance. This chapter focuses on these other principles since: (a) the HRS framework does not sufficiently address all the drivers of poor sanitation services; (b) other frameworks influence national sanitation governance; and (c) there is need to investigate the fit between the HRS and other frameworks which generally stem from other discourses. It examines: (a) how and under what circumstances can non-human rights frameworks for sanitation governance promote the HRS and ID outcomes? (b) How does an understanding of the incoherence between the HRS and non-human rights frameworks for sanitation governance, using legal pluralism theory (see 2.4.2), affect the design of sanitation governance frameworks? The chapter first discusses the other principles (see 7.2), analyses the instruments through which the principles are operationalised (see 7.3), assesses how these principles address the drivers of poor domestic sanitation services (see 7.4.1) and the consequent impact on inclusive development (ID) (see 7.4.2) and legal pluralism (see 7.4.3), before presenting the inferences (see 7.5).
