Abstract

The guidelines will provide all stakeholders especially planners, designers and constructors as well as funding agencies in the Tanzania with an easy guidance in policy, institutional and legal aspects required to be considered for proper planning, designing, construction and sustainable use of constructed wetlands technology. These guidelines will contribute towards improving sanitation delivery services in areas without access to conventional sanitation systems and hence will improve the environmental protection against pollution. In Tanzania, the need for guidance in policy, institutional and legal aspects during planning, designing, construction and implementation of constructed wetlands technology is paramount important due to poor institutional arrangement pertaining to issues of sanitation and due to unsuccessful stories given for some of the implemented constructed wetlands in some parts of the country. It is hoped that when these guidelines are properly followed and adhered to, it will yield a positive results in terms of proper planning, designing construction and implementation of the technology. The methodologies used were documents review and interview.
