Faecal Sludge Management project

At the end of the year, AID Foundation has initiated a completely new project under and with the partnership of Jhenaidah Pourashava known as Faecal Sludge Management. AID Foundation is always concern about the environment and public health. Open defecation, unsanitary and unsafe toilets and the lack of proper Faecal Sludge Management affects the urban health environment seriously. Onsite sanitation and disposal of human waste are largely unregulated in Bangladesh. But it should get top priority to keep the urban health environment clean. The proposed action will develop viable business models for toilet upgrading and faecal sludge emptying services, transport, treatment-disposal and/or re-use. In the case, Jhenaidah municipality, local government engineering department and respective donor SNV will support the AID Foundation to play key roles in sludge management.22
