Animation on Faecal Sludge Management
Can you imagine toilets without proper sewer systems? Yuck!
Well in urban areas, you’ll find them everywhere! In fact, Toilets are either connected to a storm drain, a collection pit or in better cases – a septic tank.
So what happens when the collection systems fill up? They overflow into drains…..and with pits, most of the cases involve manual scavenging.

Scheduled emptying services as an entry point for change
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.
