Project Description

The project aims to enhance environment, ensure good quality lives and livelihoods through implementing safe, sustainable sanitation infrastructures and waste management system including service facilities for reaching the targets of SDG. The main components of the projects are:

1. Faecal sludge collection and Treatment systems Developing a proper faecal sludge management system and treatment facility in every city is one of the major objectives of this project. Under this component existing system and facility will be accessed. Based on that new treatment plant will be designed or existing one will be retrofit to meet the required capacity.
2. Sanitation improvement including containment focusing low-income communities. This project will aim to increase the coverage of safely managed sanitation. To fulfill this objective various sanitation infrastructure development will happen such as improvement of on-site containments, Construction of HH, public and communal toilets, development of small-scale water supply system including deep tube wells and pipelines, construction of drainage network for grey water management in waterlogged area, etc.
3. Development of collection system of solid waste and construction of SWM plant with reuse facility are the main components of SWM system. Like component 1 (FSTP construction) this component will also access the current system and facilities and will propose additional/ new components for solid waste management.
4. Building capacities within the municipalities and other partners and establishing a smart monitoring program for planning and monitoring the sanitation services. Engagement of private sector for efficient and sustained sanitation services. Strengthen governance accountability through development of municipal level CWIS framework and guidelines.

The government of Bangladesh (GoB), with financial support from AIIB, will implement inclusive urban sanitation in 25 cities of the country. In a venture with TA HUB of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, SSCL is responsible for land acquisition, resettlement, and environmental survey in these 25 municipalities in which more than 100 acres of land will be acquired.
