A draft standard document for the latrine’s construction was developed by the Technical Committee of the National Standards Council and was presented during the consultancy exercise at the National Library.
This is, by far, the most important guideline to be followed.

Consultations begin on construction of VIP latrines
A consultation session has begun among stakeholders in the construction sector regarding the developing of Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrines.
VIP latrines are an improvement to overcome the disadvantages of simple pit latrines, e.g. fly and mosquito nuisance and unpleasant odors.
The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has compiled a draft standard document for the construction of such latrines.
It was presented for feedback during a consultation exercise held at the National Library on Tuesday.
Member of the National Standards Council, Mariella Seepaul explained that VIP latrines are most applicable for households and institutions in rural areas.
There are two basic types of VIP latrine: the single-pit latrine and one with two pits, known as the alternating VIP latrine or twin-pit latrine.
According to the draft code, the site of the latrine should be well drained and above flood level. Latrines should also be constructed at a minimum safe distance from water source.
It was also recommended that the latrines should be located at least 2 meters away from overhanging branches and any other obstacle that might impede the action of the wind across the top of the vent pipe.
Also, the doorway of the VIP latrine should face the wind.
The full draft code is available for review on here.

Good riddance if he did although he was good for an occasional laugh.
Government is a disgrace. Oil money will come in and this what government telling its citizens to do - build latrines. The Good Life promised will be for the elites. The masses can suck salt and defecate in a dirty pit that reminds us of hardships and all sorts of deprivation.

That is a great design. Indeed it is what should be part of the standard sanitation and health care PSA protocol. Guyanese need to know how to build sanitary latrines especially since one half of the country still depend on them

Until the oil money is available for the budget, what would you suggest instead?

You have tremendous experience sitting inside the latrine with your mouth opened to absorb every drop that comes that way.

Guyanese have been building septic tanks and indoor plumbing on more than 90% of the news homes. Why should people be told to go back to that dirty and unhealthy latrine pit?

.....recommendations for the design, location, construction, and maintenance of the VIP latrines which are most applicable for households and institutions in rural areas.
Guess you missed this......

Your choice to continue and be focused with your fabrications.

Periodic flooding still plague septic tank builders. Hardly any home on the coast is not suspect to at least two floods a year. It is one of the reasons we build on stilts.
