The report presents the current sanitation, solid waste and faecal waste management conditions of the Paurashavas.

There are several possible entry points for improving urban sanitation in a given city. Whichever entry point is chosen, it should take account of both the short-term needs and priorities and of the broader citywide urban sanitation system. Once momentum is triggered, programme prioritisation and planning should be revisited. Scheduled emptying is a particularly valuable starting point as it engages a broad group of stakeholders, can be applied at various scales (pilot to citywide) and builds skills across diverse aspects of urban sanitation: governance, regulation, finance, behaviour change, private sector engagement and treatment.

To overcome these challenges, the municipal authority has started providing FSM services to people in Benapole since April 2018 with the support from SNV Netherlands Development Organization. In this implementation process, the municipality and SNV are playing the following key roles:

Bangladesh Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) Network organised the 3rd FSM Convention, with the aim to find the way forward in terms of sharing experiences for policy influencing and promoting the business of faecal sludge. Focused on resource mobilisation for ensuring and scaling up sustainable FSM services in Bangladesh, this day-long convention brought together sanitation actors and the other relevant stakeholders to share the learnings from the FSM journey in Bangladesh and suggest initiatives to scale up the momentum.

The main purpose of this training manual is to develop the capacity of septic tank emptiers in urban and rural areas of Bangladesh in how to properly and safely clean septic tanks. The emptiers are also trained on how to address risks associated with septic tank emptying and how to mitigate them.
