A more comprehensive approach is needed\, integrating public health considerations into sanitation planning and infrastructure development. Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP) is a risk management tool for sanitation. It gathers stakeholders from various sectors to identify health risks throughout the sanitation system. Together\, they agree on improvements and monitor progress. This ensures control measures target the biggest risks\, leading to gradual improvements over time. Climate-resilient Sanitation Safety Planning (CR-SSP) is a process that helps communities improve their sanitation systems in a way that can withstand the effects of climate change. Climate change can increase the risk of flooding\, droughts\, and other extreme weather events\, which can damage sanitation systems and lead to the spread of disease. CR-SSP helps communities identify these risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. ITN-BUET is going to organize a three-day training program on ‘Climate-resilient Sanitation Safety Planning (CR-SSP)’ for safely managed sanitation systems. This three-day training program will emphasize the crucial link between understanding health risks and effective sanitation management and investment. It aligns with WHO’s 2022 and 2018 guidelines\, emphasizing risk-based management for sanitation systems. \nObjectives\nThe program aims to establish a pool of national and international sanitation players who have in-depth understanding of SSP’s key concepts and principles. In line with this objective\, the program will:• Help develop an understanding about the SSP process• Help build an understanding of the procedure for risk assessment and management in line with WHO guidelines on sanitation and health\, covering all steps of the sanitation chain\, with or without safe end use• Help gain an understanding about preparing SSP using step-by-step guidance• Experience practical application of SSP through exposure visit \nWho Should Attend?\nThis course welcomes enrollment from a wide range of participants working in sanitation\, public health\, environmental improvement\, researchers\, etc. \nCourse Fee (Including Training Kits\, Food and Field Visit)\nNational Participants: BDT 20\,000International Participants: USD 500 (With full accommodation) \n*Course Fee Included Training Kits\, Food and Field Visit**Upon successful completion of the training program\, participants will be granted a one-year complimentary membership to the International Water Association (IWA). \nApplication Deadline: \n30th October 2024 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Flyer\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Apply Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For further information\, please contact:\nSubrata PaulTraining SpecialistITN-BUETEmail: subrata@itn-buet.orgPhone: +8809606667700 Ext.- 5082 URL:https://itn.buet.ac.bd/web/event/training-on-climate-resilient-sanitation-safety-planning/ CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://itn.buet.ac.bd/web/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FinalBanner-01.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240903T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240905T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T134517 CREATED:20240828T114555Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240901T095243Z UID:8151-1725354000-1725555600@itn.buet.ac.bd SUMMARY:Training Workshop on Planning and Designing of Fecal Sludge Treatment Plants DESCRIPTION: Workshop on Planning and Designing of Fecal Sludge Treatment Plants \n🗓️ 03-09-2024 (Tuesday)Module-1: Introduction to Fecal Sludge TreatmentModule-2: Processes and Technologies for Fecal Sludge TreatmentModule-3: Solid-Liquid Separation/Dewatering of Fecal Sludge \n🗓️ 04-09-2024 (Wednesday)Module-4: Treatment of Liquid Stream of Fecal Sludge \n🗓️ 05-09-2024 (Thursday)Module-5: Treatment of BiosolidsModule-6: Planning and Management of Fecal Sludge Treatment Plant \n🌟Facilitators🌟\n👨‍🏫 Prof. Dr. Tanvir AhmedDepartment of Civil Engineering\, BUET👩‍🏫 Prof. Dr. Nehreen MajedDepartment of Civil Engineering\, University of Asia Pacific👨‍🏫 Prof. Dr. Muhammad Azizul HoqueDepartment of Civil & Environmental Engineering\, SUST👨‍🏫 Professor Dr. Tanveer Ferdous SaeedDepartment of Civil Engineering\, University of Asia Pacific👨‍🏫Engr.

Bangladesh National Water Policy 1999 recognises rainwater as the third source of water. In urban areas\, rainwater can be used for flushing toilets\, watering gardens\, washing cars and floors\, and other non-potable purposes\, thereby reducing dependency on existing water supply sources. At the same time\, rainwater harvesting can reduce the pressure on urban drainage system and avoid urban water-logging. Moreover\, with the increasing industrial water demand\, it can be an alternative water source. To meet international buyers’ compliance requirements and maintain factory standards\, RMG factories are also encouraged to install RWHS in their premises\, which can be used for industrial production and groundwater recharge. \nMany initiatives and programmes have recently been promoting rainwater harvesting systems in urban and industrial buildings. Incorporating rainwater management as a separate chapter in the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 2020 emphasises its significance. \nPractitioners\, planners\, academicians\, industrialists\, students\, researchers\, and policymakers working on water and environmental issues need to be sensitised and capacitated on rainwater harvesting systems to tackle the water crisis and ensure future water security. In this regard\, WaterAid Bangladesh in collaboration with International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) and International Water Association (IWA) is organising the international training and exposure visit 2024 on urban rainwater harvesting system. \nLearning Objective\nThe participants will get the opportunity to learn from national and international technical experts\, academicians and professionals who have experience in implementing RWHS. The participants shall have exposure to and a better understanding of: \n\nUrban water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.\nPlanning and designing of rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge system\nWater safety plan and LEED certification\nPrinciples of rainwater harvesting and its components\nSimplified cost-benefit analysis of rainwater harvesting\nPractical rainwater harvesting focusing on water retain\, reuse\, and recharge\n\nApplication Deadline\n14 February 2024 \nDate and Venue\nDate: 02-05 March 2024Mode: ResidentialLanguage: EnglishVenue: Dream Square Resort\, Gazipur and ITN-BUET\, Dhaka\, Bangladesh. \nTraining Fees\nNational Participants: 35\,000 BDT*The training fee stated above is inclusive of training registration fee (3000 BDT)\, which is compulsory to pay by the selected applicants irrespective of partial or full fellowship. \nInternational Participants: N/ASelected applicants from foreign countries will be automatically eligible for full fellowship.

TRAINING \nIn Bangladesh\, various initiatives have been implemented to enhance the management of fecal sludge through the establishment of treatment facilities. Assessing the characteristics of fecal sludge is crucial for designing appropriate technologies and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. However\, the analysis of fecal sludge is a relatively new area for water and wastewater laboratories in the country. To address this gap\, the ITN-BUET\, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project\, has set up a state-of-the-art reference laboratory at the Department of Civil Engineering\, BUET. This specialized laboratory conducts surveillance\, monitoring\, and validation of new technologies for fecal sludge treatment plants (FSTPs).

Bangladesh National Water Policy 1999 recognises rainwater as the third source of water. In urban areas\, rainwater can be used for flushing toilets\, watering gardens\, washing cars and floors\, and other non-potable purposes\, thereby reducing dependency on existing water supply sources. At the same time\, rainwater harvesting can reduce the pressure on urban drainage system and avoid urban water-logging. Moreover\, with the increasing industrial water demand\, it can be an alternate water source. To meet international buyers’ compliance requirements and maintain factory standards\, RMG factories are encouraged to install RWHS in their premises\, and the water can be used for industrial production and groundwater recharge. \nMany initiatives and programmes have recently been promoting rainwater harvesting systems in urban and industrial buildings. Incorporating rainwater management as a separate chapter in the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 2020 emphasises its significance. \nPractitioners\, planners\, academicians\, industrialists\, students\, researchers\, and policymakers working on water and environmental issues need to be sensitised and capacitated on rainwater harvesting systems to tackle the water crisis and ensure future water security.  In this regard\, International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) in collaboration with WaterAid Bangladesh and International Water Association (IWA) Bangladesh are organising the international training and exposure visit 2022 on urban rainwater harvesting system. \nLearning Objective\nThe participants will get the opportunity to learn from national and international technical experts\, academicians and professionals who have experience in implementing RWHS. The participants shall have exposure to and a better understanding of: \n\nUrban water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.\nPlanning and designing of rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge system\nWater safety plan and LEED certification\nPrinciples of rainwater harvesting and its components\nSimplified cost-benefit analysis of rainwater harvesting\nPractical rainwater harvesting focusing on water retain\, reuse\, and recharge\n\n  \nFellowships available\nWe are offering partial and full fellowships for this international training and exposure visit 2022 on urban rainwater harvesting system to a limited number of deserving candidates. Those who are funded by UN agencies or other international agencies will not be eligible for this fellowship. \n*Female and young professionals are encouraged to apply \nApplication deadline\n26 November 2022 \nDate and location\n11-14 December 2022 at International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) \nFees and funding\nBDT 18\,000/- for Bangladeshi citizens\, and US $150 for international participants. A limited number of fellowships are available for this training programme. The training fee is inclusive of a training participation fee of BDT 3\,000 or 25 USD\, which is compulsory to be paid by the selected participants irrespective of partial or full fellowship. \nWho can apply?\nEngineers\, architects\, environmentalists\, industrialists\, urban planners\, academicians\, policymakers and development practitioners from relevant field. \n* Female and young professionals are encouraged to apply. \nEducational requirement\nApplicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree or diploma as a minimum criterion. \nView/ Download the FlyerApply here \nFor further information\, please contact:\nMr Rakib Uddin Ahmed\nSenior Information & Documentation Officer\nITN-BUET\nCell: +88016 720 730 70\nEmail: rakib@itn-buet.org\nOr\nMs Samia Anwar Rafa\nYoung Professional-Technical\nWaterAid Bangladesh\nEmail: samiarafa@wateraid.org URL:https://itn.buet.ac.bd/web/event/international-training-and-exposure-visit-on-rainwater-harvesting-system/ LOCATION:ITN Seminar Room\, ARI-ITN Building (4th & 5th Floor)\, BUET Dhaka-1000.\, Dhaka 1000 Bangladesh\, Dhaka\, Dhaka-1000\, Bangladesh CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://itn.buet.ac.bd/web/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/URWHST-2022.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221016T083000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221018T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T134517 CREATED:20221014T140853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221108T161909Z UID:4916-1665909000-1666112400@itn.buet.ac.bd SUMMARY:Specialized Training Course on City Wide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) DESCRIPTION:Time\nDescription\n\n\n\n\nDay 1: 16th October\, 2022\n\n\n08:30 – 09:00\nRegistration\n\n\n09:00 – 09:45\nInauguration\n\n\n09:45 – 11:15\nSession 1: Exploring Suitable Sanitation Solutions for the Cities\n\n\n11:15 – 11:30\nTea Break\n\n\n11:30 – 12:45\nSession 2: Conventional and Innovative Urban Sanitation Technologies Along the Sanitation Service Chain\n\n\n12:45 – 13:45\nSession 3: CWIS Principles and Frameworks for Sanitation Service Delivery\n\n\n13:45 – 14:30\nLunch and Prayer\n\n\n14:30 – 15:15\nSession 4-A: CWIS Outcome ‘Equity’ – Concept\, Measurement Indicators and Key Elements\n\n\n15:15 – 16:00\nSession 4-B: Experience of Faridpur Municipality on Social Mobilization\, Equitable Service Delivery\, Pit Emptiers’ Cooperative Formation and Improvement of Livelihood of Pit Emptiers\, and OHS & Health Insurance for the Emptiers\n\n\n16:00 – 16:15\nTea Break\n\n\n16:15 – 16:55\nSession 4-C: Group Work – Setting Equity Indicators and Targets for the Participating City;
