Online Training Programme on Preparation of Shit Flow Diagram (SFD)

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a New Delhi based institution set up in 1980’s (www.cseindia.org). The School of Water and Waste (SWW) is a recognised capacity building hub of global south and a recognised training entity - Centre of Excellence in the Sustainable Water & Waste Management area assisting the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India.

Mapping excreta of a city is increasingly being used to analyse the sanitation in global south. An excreta flow diagram (also often described as shit flow diagram), can help to achieve this by offering a new and innovative way to engage sanitation experts, political leaders and civil society in coordinated discussions about excreta management in both urban and rural areas.
