An important goal of the Fecal Sludge Testing Protocol is to facilitate laboratory personnel, researchers, or students in testing various characterizing parameters. The protocol also provides a step-by-step guide for laboratory users to conduct tests on different types of fecal sludge, such as liquid, solid, and slurry.

Sakhipur municipality in Tangail district has a population of 30,028 spread across an area of 13.77 sq. km. Despite having a functioning faecal sludge management (FSM) system since 2015, the municipality faces challenges due to population growth and inadequate sanitation. The development of a Sanitation Safety Plan (SSP) aims to improve sanitation facilities, protect public health, and guide investment decisions in Sakhipur municipality.

The ‘National Compendium of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Technologies for Disaster Response’ has been prepared through a consultative process involving organizations belonging to the WASH cluster. Its purpose is to address challenges related to disasters and post-disaster situations. This compilation includes technologies suitable for disaster and post-disaster scenarios, which will be promoted and implemented as appropriate solutions for climate-resilient disaster preparedness.

“দুর্যোগ মোকাবিলায় পানি, স্যানিটেশন ও হাইজিন প্রযুক্তিসমূহের জাতীয় সংকলন” দুর্যোগকালীন জরুরি এবং দুর্যোগ পরবর্তী তাৎক্ষণিক পুনরুদ্ধার পর্যায়ে পানি সরবরাহ,স্যানিটেশন ও স্বাস্থ্যবিধি কার্যকম পরিকল্পনা এবং বাস্তবায়নের জন্য একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ দিক হিসেবে গণ্য হবে।

An important goal of this protocol is to facilitate laboratory personnel, researchers, or students for testing different characterizing parameters. The protocol also provides step-by-step guide to laboratory users to conduct tests for different fecal sludge types (liquid, solid, slurry etc.). Various Modules and Protocols testing fecal sludge parameters have been reviewed and adapted to the local context considering the modus operandi of the available equipment.

শহর পর্যায়ের দায়িত্বপ্রাপ্ত ব্যক্তিদের এফ এস এম এবং সি ডাব্লিউ আই এস সম্পর্কে অবহিত করা এবং পয়োবর্জ্য ব্যবস্থাপনাকে সারা দেশের মূলধারায় প্রতিষ্ঠা করা এই প্রশিক্ষণ কোর্সের প্রধান লক্ষ্য। এই প্রশিক্ষক সহায়কটি একটি লিংকড ডকুমেন্ট হিসেবে তৈরী করা হয়েছে যা সময়ের সাথে আরো সমৃদ্ধি হতে থাকবে।

“Resilient and Inclusive WASH Technology Album” is a readily usable album with details of technologies including key features, suitability, challenges, important operation and maintenance requirements and detail drawings, so that it can be contextualized as necessary during of its use.

The objective of this study was to assess the current situation of WASH in four selected slums located in Ward no. 21, 24, 35 & 15 of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC). Specific objectives of this study were:
a) To establish evidence based strong rationale for improving access to WASH services for slum dwellers; and
b) To influence relevant stakeholders including GoB line departments, donors, I/NGOs and raise public awareness on sustainable water and sanitation interventions for slum dwellers.
