Sakhipur municipality in Tangail district has a population of 30,028 spread across an area of 13.77 sq. km. Despite having a functioning faecal sludge management (FSM) system since 2015, the municipality faces challenges due to population growth and inadequate sanitation. The development of a Sanitation Safety Plan (SSP) aims to improve sanitation facilities, protect public health, and guide investment decisions in Sakhipur municipality.

This plant is designed to utilize the faecal sludge and organic waste into making compost. WaterAid Bangladesh is working with the Municipality and the Department of Agriculture in order to distribute and use these compost as soil conditioner locally.
