WORK OVERVIEW

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) entered into a partnership with Chunar Nagar Palika Parishad (CNPP) to implement effective Faecal Sludge & Septage Management for improved city-wide sanitation, in February 2019. CSE agreed to co-operate with CNPP to provide technical support for improvement in urban sanitation across the sanitation value chain in the city.

CSE supports Municipal functionaries plan and implement reforms for achieving effective FSSM and city-wide sanitation by facilitating the convergence of various national and state policies, plans, programmes and project implementation showcasing improvements across the urban sanitation value chain – containment, emptying, disposal, treatment and reuse/recycle, together with river pollution abatement.

CSE has also set-up a Technical Support Unit (TSU) in Chunar to support facilitate and handhold city-level agencies in planning, creating operating guidelines and enabling frameworks, as well as designing and executing Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) practices across the city of Chunar. CSE is also the technical support partner of the upcoming faecal sludge treatment plant of 10 Kilo litre per day capacity.

CSE is further building capacities of city officials, decision makers and other stakeholders involved in the implementation of city sanitation programme. This includes conducting field exposure visits for officials to explore good management practices.
