A business model has been developed for Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) in Faridpur, adopting a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) approach. Through this model, the municipality provides city-wide customer service at an affordable price. The service providers are regulated for accountable and user-friendly services by the municipality to ensure a sustainable service system.

The success of FSM largely depends on the responsiveness of the citizens. A bothway relationship between responsible leaders and responsive citizens is important to make this system sustainable. A social mobilization campaign has been conducted in Faridpur targeting all segments of population to make everyone aware, sensitise and responsive regarding safe management of faecal waste and individual’s law-abiding role.

The Faridpur Municipality has established a dedicated service desk, which manages requests and delegates the tasks to the pit-emptying service providers. The 1SERVICE will ensure quality, accountability of service providers, and reduces the possibility of illegal dumping. 1SERVICE offers citizens to place requests for pit-emptying services along with other utility services through SMS, USSD, voice calls, apps, and website.

Practical Action Bangladesh has supported establishing a comprehensive city-side Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) service for Faridpur City. An advanced and systematic approach has been undertaken by the municipal authorities for ensuring an environmentally safe and financially sustainable private sector-led replicable model for a developing country.
