In Bangladesh, on-site sanitation is prevalent throughout the country except for a small portion in Dhaka city, and the huge quantity of faecal sludge generated in septic tanks and pits (of pit/ pour-flush latrines) is inaptly managed. The lack of Faecal Sludge Management (FS) services is causing severe environmental pollution, particularly in urban areas, affecting both public health and the economy. The primary objective of this Faecal Sludge Management framework is to facilitate the implementation of FSM services in all City Corporation areas (other than DNCC and DSCC). Specifically, this framework will identify ways and means of implementing FSM services in the City Corporations; and define specific roles and responsibilities of various institutions and stakeholders, particularly City Corporations, for effective implementation of FSM.
