Project
Description
In Bangladesh, most households have latrines, but many are unhygienic, and most of the fecal sludge end up untreated in drains, waterways, canals, and low-lying lands. This poses a huge environmental risk, resulting in waterborne disease outbreaks and bacterial infections in humans and animals. Local authorities such as the municipalities are mandated for addressing solid waste management of the towns, which they hardly perform with their limited resources such as manpower, equipment and finance. Cities are therefore encouraged to adopt the government’s policy of Integrated Solid Waste Management and 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) Strategy. This approach emphasizes waste prevention, reduction, and recycling, rather than treating and disposing of ever-increasing trash. That’s why Practical Action has always been encouraged in developing resource recovery system from the waste management works. Besides, PA has been working with LGIs and city people to improve an integrated system through capacity building, awareness raising, and system transformation. The main purpose of the project is to support Faridpur and Satkhira municipalities for effective land use planning, technical design of physical facilities for recycling and resource recovery from multiple wastes including organic solid waste, fecal sludge, polythene, medical and electronic waste.
Key Points of Methodology
