Capacity Building initiative on citywide sanitation

To roll-out the use of SFD as a decision support and advocacy tool with activeparticipation of city stakeholders.

Designed as a two year project building on oneyear kick-start phase.

Excreta flow diagrams (also often described as shit flow diagram, SFD) are increasingly used toanalyze the sanitation in urban areas. Modifications of the method are also being used to generatethe first generation of national estimates of percentage of the population with access to ‘safelymanaged sanitation’.

Phase II of the initiative is based on demand driven approach unlike phase I in which theconsortium had chosen the cities. CSE along with partner institutions intends to provide supportto participating cities and towns, which are keen to develop SFDs for their cities and to use it asa planning tool to improve the sanitation of the city. Phase II also aims to refine the existing toolbased on the empirical validation
