Background
A successful city is one where all citizens live productive, healthy and dignified lives in an environment free from fecal contamination. Human waste must be managed in ways that safeguard the urban environment, including water and food supplies. Far from being a reality, this vision is under increasing threat. To better respond to the realities found in developing country cities, there is a need of innovative and holistic approach that encompass long-term planning, technical innovation, institutional reforms and financial mobilization and considers the engineering aspects, as well as the incorporation of social, economic, institutional, cultural and environmental factors in urban sanitation planning. Furthermore, the Sustainable Development Goals also emphasize for cities to be inclusive, safe, and resilient, to ensure citizens’ health and wellbeing, and to provide access to sustainable water and sanitation services to all.

Citywide inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) is when everybody benefits from adequate sanitation service delivery outcomes; human waste is safely managed along the whole sanitation service chain; effective resource recovery and re-use are considered. Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS), is an approach to urban sanitation that involves collaboration among many actors to ensure that everyone benefits from adequate sanitation service delivery outcomes. Citywide inclusive sanitation requires collaboration between many actors, including: national, sub-national and city/municipal governments; utilities and municipal service providers; business and the private sector; civil society, local and international NGOs; donors, bilateral and multilateral agencies and private foundations; as well as academia and, importantly, households themselves. Each city is organized in a unique way and local actors need to acknowledge shared responsibilities and work collaboratively to chart their own path to providing urban sanitation to all.

CWIS thinking rests on four main actionable pillars:

1. Prioritize the human right of citizens to sanitation – equitable and accessible for all;
2. Deliver safe management along the whole sanitation service chain, from the toilet to safe treatment and reuse.
3.  Integrate sanitation in urban planning and renewal, providing livable and sanitary environment; and
4. Commit to working in partnership to deliver citywide inclusive sanitation, including formal and informal partners. 

Recognizing the importance of inclusivity in making city sanitation plans, School of Water & Waste, CSE is conducting a tailor made Online/Virtual training Course on “City Wide Inclusive Sanitation for the participants of WaterAid Bangladesh.

The collaboration between CSE and WaterAid Bangladesh (WAB) was started in October 2010 with Rain Water Harvesting & DWWTs training course conduction in Dhaka Bangladesh. Their long term partnership commenced from April 2012. The collaboration between CSE and WAB has initiated a social and knowledge movement. CSE and WAB work together for Skill enhancement, Training support, Technical support for pilot projects, Knowledge support (for Curricula development, Rain Centre establishment and Module development on RWH and DWWTs, Documentation and dissemination) and for Networking and Awareness.

Aim:
This Training Course builds the capacity and enable cities / towns to develop city owned CSPs focusing on effective and implementable feacal waste management for better sanitation value chain and it also helps to recognize the importance of inclusivity in making City Sanitation Plans.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• To transform urban India into community driven, totally sanitized, healthy and livable cities and towns
• To capacitate the key actors in preparation of city owned and implementable CSPs.
• To offer innovative ways to engage city stakeholders in a coordinated dialogue and technical solutions for excreta management through tools such as the SFD (Shit Flow Diagram).
• To understand the relevance and added values of CSP - converging national / regional or state flagship schemes/programmes at city level.
• To improve local treatment, disposal and reuse options, making them environmentally safe, socially acceptable, and financially sustainable.
