Benefits of the improved sanitation and behavior change integrating all spheres of sanitation including public health and sanitation service provision are key to achieving citywide sanitation. Several town/cities in Uttar Pradesh under various central, state and local initiatives are at different stages of planning intervention across sanitation chain - containment, emptying, safe disposal, treatment and end use for effective sewage and septage management. In this regard, CSE in collaboration with Department of Urban Development, UP Government, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Government of India has been working on strengthening the capacity of National, State and ULB functionaries on effective city wide sanitation with a major focus on Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM). The activities of the programme focus on providing handholding and technical support in preparing City Sanitation Plans (CSP) & state and city level guidelines and planning and implementing pilot projects for faecal sludge treatment.

A three day residential training programme on ‘Effective faecal sludge and septage management for mainstreaming citywide sanitation’ for U.P state urban local bodies officials involved in planning, designing and implementation of sewage and septage management and NMCG/SPMG officials is being organized by CSE from 29-31st May 2018.

The venue of the training is CSE Anil Agarwal Training Institute (AAETI), Nimli – Rajasthan located at 110 kms distance from Delhi.

The campus also houses India’s first state of the art laboratory for faecal sludge characterization, smart class rooms, faculty quarters and residential facilities for the participants. The institute has been named after the late Anil Agarwal, CSE’s founder-director and a leading figure in India’s environmental movement. It aims to build capacities of a range of audiences – regulators, lawmakers, communicators, professionals, students, civil society members and administrators
