Faridpur Municipality visions for establishing \u201ca sustainable and city-wide faecal sludge management system for serving all the residences and institutions within the municipality by 2025.\u201d Practical Action joins hands to establish a comprehensive Faecal Sludge Management system ingrained in the City Development Plan that indicates public-private partnership towards ensuring financial and environmental sustainability through a systemic change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The municipality of Faridpur has elaborated its vision for a \u201csustainable and safe city-wide faecal sludge management system serving all municipal residents and institutions in Faridpur municipality by 2025\u201d, to achieve sustainable FSM component of the City Development Plan. This vision involves addressing the three systemic problems that create binding constraints on the emergence of scaled, environmentally safe, and financially sustainable private sector-led functions in the faecal sludge system. This project proposes to implement a set of activities that will further elaborate the investment needs of the municipality and support it to access investment financing, while taking initial steps to pilot, and test the economics of scale-up of solutions to the systemic problems identified. The proposed solutions to be supported in this project are:<\/p>\n
Setting standards of containments for monitoring the construction and uses and capacity building of local masons for construction of standard containments to improve the containment standards throughout the city;
\nForming public-private partnership for collection and transportation with sweeper groups (informal pit emptiers group) by sustainably building the capacity of collection and transportation services;
\nPromotion of safe disposal at the new treatment plant (planted drying bed and unplanted drying bed) instead of disposing of it unsafely in the environment;
\nTreatment infrastructure development and public-private partnership for treatment plant operation by creating an operational treatment plant by constructing the plant and forming SLA (service level agreements) with private treatment Plant Operator (TPO) to run the plant; and
\nFormation of a coherent national regulatory framework and guidelines for faecal sludge management, combined with the current limited national capacity and devising a sectoral coordination mechanism to coordinate the sector stakeholders by establishing a sludge network.
\nGoal(s):<\/p>\n
To establish effective and consistent sludge management services across the whole of Faridpur City sustaining itself through results-based public-private partnerships, ensuring the city\u2019s sustainably healthy environment and its people health.<\/p>\n
Objectives:<\/p>\n
To establish sustainable city-wide faecal sludge management system serving all municipal residents in Faridpur municipality by 2025
\nTo finalise the National FSM Regulatory Framework and strengthening sectoral coordination for improved knowledge and learning exchanges
