Background
Sanitation has emerged as one of the biggest challenges of the world. Inadequate sanitation has negative impacts on health and environment. In India, the economic burden of poor sanitation is almost half of the total global losses and 5.2% of country’s GDP. The need of the hour is to think beyond the current wave of toilet construction under Swachh Bharat Mission and focus on mapping of excreta and planning and designing for Faecal Sludge and Septage Management.
In order to strengthen capacities of Urban Local Bodies, states and other stakeholders, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has empanelled 30 Training Entities for rolling out individual capacity building with a three separate capsule spread framework under AMRUT & Smart City Mission (SCM).

Since 2016, CSE has also been empanelled as training institution to roll out training programmes in AMRUT cities. CSE is supporting states/target cities for delivery of individual capacity building programmes such as – Strategic training plan based on Training Need Assessment (TNA), research studies/documentation, exposure visit/workshops/seminar for capacitating municipal functionaries and elected representatives.
Further, CSE has signed a MoU with Department of Housing & UrbanDevelopment, Government ofOdishato roll out training programmes as per the AMRUT guidelines and as per the training plan.
