There are frequent references to experiences and lessons learned in Africa, Asia, and America; iii) the Tools - criteria, checklists, sample terms of reference and questionnaire forms, iv) a comprehensive Word List, and v) a CD with sample contracts and agreements for both collection and disposal operations, and other tools.
