WORK OVERVIEW

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) entered into a partnership with Bijnor Nagar Palika Parishad (BNPP) to support in implementation of action plan/strategies with a focus on effective Faecal Sludge & Septage Management, as listed in the City’s Sanitation Plan (CSP) endorsed by the City Sanitation Task Force (CSTF)’ in February 2019.

CSE supports municipal functionaries to 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 Bijnor to support facilitate and handhold city-level agencies in planning, creating enabling frameworks, as well as designing and executing Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) practices across the city of Bijnor. CSE is also the technical support partner of the upcoming co-treatment unit at the STP and also pushing for co-composting of faecal sludge with organic solid waste.

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