The publication highlights the importance of addressing integrity challenges in achieving Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS), which ensures sanitation services for all city residents through diverse systems and providers. Integrity failures, often overlooked, hinder service delivery, infrastructure upgrades, public health, and gender equity. The Water Integrity Network (WIN) collaborates with ESAWAS, DPHE (Bangladesh), and ITN-BUET to analyze these issues and strengthen regulatory mechanisms.

The synthesis report, “Regulating Urban Sanitation to Prevent Integrity Failures,” focuses on addressing integrity challenges in Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS). CWIS aims to meet the comprehensive sanitation needs of all city residents by integrating diverse systems (sewered and non-sewered) and providers (public, private, household, and informal vendors).

This report focuses on the steps taken to regulate the urban sanitation sub-sector in Bangladesh and the integrity risks and failures that persist. The effective regulation of the urban sanitation sub-sector is vital in ensuring high-quality, reliable and equitable services and accelerating progress towards universal coverage.

The CWIS Action Plan (CAP) uses the ABCD-IME approach, focusing on awareness, planning, and implementation while ensuring responsibility, accountability, and resource management for effective sanitation services.

The WASH FIT program assists implementers in identifying potential risks within their operations and provides pragmatic instruments and models for implementing improvements in the domains of water, sanitation, and hygiene, as well as healthcare waste and facility management.

The study’s prime objective is to assess national and urban-level policies, institutional arrangements, and capacities for solid waste management (SWM) in Bangladesh. It identifies key challenges in the SWM system and provides recommendations for improvement through policy reforms and capacity-building. The methodology involves a multi-stage process, starting with an in-depth literature review of current SWM legal documents in Bangladesh.
