Throughout November and December, the Bangladesh Faecal Sludge Management Network (BFSMN) will host an online campaign under the theme “Let’s Accelerate Together Towards Safely Managed Sanitation.”
The campaign will highlight the importance of safely managed, climate-resilient urban sanitation in building a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous Bangladesh. Poorly managed faecal sludge poses serious risks to public health, contributing to the spread of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and rotavirus, while also impacting the environment and quality of life in our towns and cities.
At the same time, there is much to celebrate. Across Bangladesh, government agencies, NGOs, private sector actors, academia, and sanitation workers are working together to improve sanitation services and create healthier urban communities.
Over the coming weeks, we will share inspiring stories of innovation, collaboration, and progress that are helping drive the sanitation sector forward. These stories demonstrate how collective action is creating cleaner, greener, and safer cities for all.
While challenges remain in achieving universal access to safely managed sanitation, the momentum for change is growing. Join us as we celebrate these successes and accelerate together towards safe sanitation, dignity for sanitation workers, and a more resilient Bangladesh.
Let’s accelerate together towards World Toilet Day 2026 and the World Toilet Summit.
