Vision
Ensuring a safe and sustainable faecal sludge management system in Bangladesh for improved public health and living environment for all by 2030
Even though Bangladesh has accomplished the incredible achievement of almost eliminating open defecation. However, the rapid expansion of sanitation coverage along with the inadequate ability to cope with fecal sludge management (FSM) results in huge environmental contamination.
A unified national voice on sanitation and faecal sludge management
Stories, videos and messages from FSM Network members will be shared here throughout the campaign.
