Venue: Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute, Nimli, Tijara, Rajasthan
Last Date for Applying: January 15, 2018
Background
Sanitation has emerged as one of the biggest challenge 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 (FSSM).
Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI) recognizes this need and offers the four-day training programme for capacity building of practitioners, academicians and government officials of India, Africa and South Asia on sustainable decentralized sanitation. The goal is to create a cadre of practitioners with knowledge, skills and attitude for mainstreaming sustainable water and sanitation across urban India, Africa and across South Asia.
CSE is one of the partners in SFD Promotion Initiative and has prepared 27 SFDs for different agro-climatic regions (cities) of pan India. Evident from FSM4 conference held in 2017 in Chennai, SFD has emerged as an intelligible advocacy tool for urban sanitation programming. In addition, CSE has been working on policy and implementation regarding faecal sludge and septage management at the national and global levels. In 2017, the centre published Septage Management, a practitioner’s guide to assist practitioners involved in the sanitation sector as well as urban designing and planning.
Part I: SFD - A tool for mapping excreta, February 12 - 13, 2018
The two-day training programme will focus on understanding the excreta flow diagram (often described as shit flow diagram, SFD). SFD is a tool to readily understand and communicate, how excreta physically flow through a city or town. The tool shows how excreta is or is not contained as it moves from defecation to disposal or end-use, and the fate of all excreta generated. An accompanying report describes the service delivery context of the city or town.
- Learning Outcomes:
To understand the process of SFD preparation including stakeholder involvement
To have an in-depth knowledge about the methodology of data collection and analysis
To have hands-on experience of using SFD graphic generator
Part II- Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM), February 14 - 15, 2018
The two-day programme will focus on the current state of knowledge of this rapidly evolving field and present an integrated approach that includes planning, technology and management. The training will be supported with best management practices in FSSM.
- Learning Outcomes:
To understand the current global FSSM practices including stakeholder involvement
To address and provide hands on experience in planning and designing for entire sanitation chain
To provide an understanding of the most up-to-date FSM technological options
To update on international and national reforms on FSSM
To provide skills on planning and designing a decentralized wastewater treatment system (effluent and grey water)
AAETI SIGNATURE SESSION
Special sessions by eminent faculty/researchers on SFD graphic generator and sustainable business models for FSSM.
A certificate of participation will be awarded at the end of the programme
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The training will be conducted based on state of the art teaching – learning tools consisting of interactive sessions, experiential learning using detailed case studies, working in groups on planning and designing and class room lectures supported by documentary films and field visits to demonstrate successfully implemented FSSM practices.
