‘A forum for knowledge sharing in global south’
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) in collaboration with WaterAid Bangladesh is organizing a 5-day Training cum Exposure Visit for ‘Experience and knowledge sharing in Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM)’ from 8-13February 2020.
Bangladesh has made significant strides in reducing the practice of open defecation in the country. Since majority of the households are dependent upon onsite sanitation systems, Bangladesh Government has introduced the Institutional and Regulatory Framework (IRF) for FSSM to recognise ways and means of implementing FSSM services and to outline specific roles and responsibilities of various institutions and stakeholders. WaterAid Bangladesh is supporting the cities of Shakhipur and Saidpur in demonstrating sustainable FSSM. These treatments plants employ nature-based technology for treatment of Faecal Sludge and Septage and employ co-composting of organic municipal solid waste with dried FSS to improve the quality of the final compost.
India was declared open defecation free on 2nd October 2019 with more than 100 million toilets constructed. It has a National Faecal Sludge and Septage Man agement Policy. Many states including Uttar Pradesh has issued state specific policies. There are more than 400 FSTPs being planned in the country with 31 FSTPs under tendering in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Taking cognisance of the impact of discharging untreated FSS on the pollution in river, the National Mission for Clean Ganga has piloted an FSTP in the city of Chunarwhich is being supported by CSE.
Both India and Bangladesh have similar challenges relating to scaling-up pilot initiatives for mainstreaming citywide sanitation.The training intends to bring practitioners and officials from India and Bangladesh together to develop a platform for knowledge sharing and create opportunities for networking and foster development of long term partnerships. The training will focus on best practices in technology and managementof faecal sludge and would include visit to operational Faecal Sludge Treatment Plants undertaking co-composting as well as interactive sessions with representatives from local bodies as well as agencies involved in the FSSM interventions.
