Urban Governance and Sanitation in the Peri-Urban Commune of Agoè-Nyvé 6 in Togo: Diagnosis of the Sanitation System in Adétikopé
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
1. The paper looks less like a study and more like a survey. It is difficult to determine whether this manuscript should be submitted to Water, and it is recommended that the editors and authors consider it further.
2. The abstract is a summary of the entire manuscript and does not need to have Context, Objective, Materials and methods, Results and Conclusion. Otherwise it will make it strange to read. Please reorganize the abstract based on the content.
3. It is suggested that more researches on urban governance and sanitation in the peri-urban commune be summarized in the introduction part. The novelty of this paper compared to the previous literature needs to be further emphasized.

Reviewer 3 Report
Lines 95-97 need to be rewritten. "we ask ourselves" just isn't appropriate language for an academic journal.
Lines 220-223: Software used, particularly Microsoft Office is not necessary information.
Take out the pictures, they provide no useful purpose to the paper
It would be very useful in the Discussion section to have a table that provides the summary of what is written as to each of the subsections for easy reference.
For the conclusion, are there any public policy implications and if so what are they
