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.

This manual aims to enhance the gender sensitivity and inclusivity of DPHE officials in their responsibilities, particularly in the implementation and monitoring of WASH projects.

To advance and incorporate the CWIS approach in both Bangladesh and Nepal, ITN-BUET, in collaboration with key stakeholders in the sector, is working towards establishing a total of eight cities as CWIS mentor cities. Of these, six will be located in Bangladesh and two in Nepal.

This document provides specific details regarding Faridpur Paurashava as a CWIS Mentor city.

ITN-BUET initiated a “Specialized Training on Faecal Sludge Management in Cities: An Element of Citywide Inclusive Sanitation” targeting the engineers and officials from Paurashavas and relevant government implementing agencies. In the meantime, the global concept on CWIS took a constructive shape, and became ready for dissemination to the local level sanitation implementers

The manual emphasizes the importance of incorporating gender considerations in the everyday execution of tasks and in the broader organizational culture. It aspires to root gender equality as a foundational principle in all decision-making and operational processes, propelling change by addressing gender disparities and advocating equal opportunities for all.

Knowledge repository will act as a centralized hub for sharing information, guidelines, policies, instructions, process documentation, and more. Information stored in a knowledge repository is designed to be easy to find, understand, and engage with.

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.

This manual serves as a comprehensive guide for the decision-makers and field level implementers to design an efficient and sustainable financial model for FSM service delivery. Encompassing a range of topics, spanning from comprehending different service approaches with financial aspects to the exploration of innovative business modalities, the manual is crafted not only to address immediate challenges but also to foster long-term sustainability.

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.
