Development and dissemination of fecal sludge management toolkit for investors, planners and consultants

Purpose

To accelerate the effective and sustainable implementation of fecal sludge management projects in the urban poor communities where disposal of their excreta still relies upon non-sewer sanitation systems

Activities

The FSM toolbox is a one-stop database platform for all the FSM related resources.

Since its establishment, FSM Toolbox has extensively pushed its expertise to contemplate and refine its resource platform. With an aim to become the center for FSM resources, we have progressively demonstrated the capability of integration and development of viable tools and data sources. As the work progresses so does its dynamism, FSM Toolbox has been involved with over 30 organizations for testing, application and contextualization of the Toolbox – it has constantly sought to develop plans to collaborate with expert practitioners for wider dissemination.
