PAST - Our Origins: Celebrating with Heroes from FSM1

This plenary session reflects on the origins of FSM, by speaking to key actors, who played a pivotal role in the creation and growth of FSM. We discuss with each of them how they contributed to the FSM conferences, which eventually led to the creation of the FSM Alliance. From the first FSM Conference in 2011 (Durban, South Africa) to 10 years later, we ask each panelist to reflect back on creating this sub-sector and the momentum that’s been built around FSM in the last 10 years.

Inclusive, Sustainable FSM – Towards a Transformative Future

SDG6 targets safely managed sanitation leaving no one behind by 2030. With universal access and increasing frequency of ‘natural’ disasters, FSM is critical for a healthy, sustainable future. In resource constrained contexts, the current picture is far from this ideal, so how do we get there? This session will explore a transformed future and steps required to achieve effective and sustainable FSM from 3 perspectives:

(i) Inclusive FSM in terms of access to services and management,

(ii) Effectively operating FSM systems with governments and private sector working collaboratively,

(iii) FSM systems are adapted to/ resilient to climate change.

Connecting FSM general practices with FSM in emergencies – Discussing the gap in standards as a shared challenge

In addition to introducing the FSM Technical Working Group, as activated under the global WASH cluster to improve the quality of sanitation services in emergencies, this session highlights the gap in FSM quality standards. Through different perspectives the need for standards is reviewed and a set of proposed quality standards will be discussed. Key questions to be addressed include: Are the proposed ‘FSM in emergencies’ quality standards considered to be correct and feasible? Would these type of uniform FSM standards be beneficial for FSM outside of emergencies as well?

Climate Resilient Sanitation in LICs

Climate change is with us. Flood, drought and rising sea levels is already creating risks for sanitation systems – from toilets to septic tanks to treatment plants. Low income communities are at the highest risk, often situated in low-lying areas or adjacent to waterways. Are our current technology choices the right ones, given this situation? Are our associated services like emptying resilient in times of extreme weather? Come and learn about how leading cities are addressing these challenges, and contribute to shaping the direction we all need to take to better address climate change in FSM and sanitation work.

Formalizing India’s FSSM Sector: Policy, Implementation and Impact

India’s national FSSM policy was launched at FSSM4 with support from the NFSSM Alliance. Since its inception, the NFSSM Alliance and its members have influenced national policies, piloted innovative solutions for implementation on the ground, empowered communities through inclusion in FSSM intervention, and formalized the FSSM ecosystem in India by working with local governments, community platforms and private sector players.

This session is focused on sharing the India story for FSSM – a multi stakeholder approach in fostering and strengthening the FSSM ecosystem. The story will spotlight the various interventions and structures through which India has accelerated implementation to ensure inclusive service delivery to its citizens.

How to ensure that the sludge reaches the treatment plant? An analytical workshop on challenges & solutions in planning emptying & transportation of faecal sludge

Providing safe and affordable Faecal Sludge Collection services to all is a major component of CWIS and at the same time is one of its major challenges. Service delivery to informal neighborhoods is related to high costs mainly influenced by time and distance. Willingness and ability to pay frequently lower than the costs. Thus, to extend the service coverage it is crucial not only to reduce the costs by increasing the efficiency of service models but also to guarantee a safe flow of revenue for the service providers. In most cases, the emptying and transportation services are provided by private businesses. Thus, enabling them to scale up their services is a key component of a city-wide inclusive sanitation plan. Within this session, we would like to facilitate a discussion on the concerns of the pit emptiers and the current approaches which can enable the scaling of FS collection services.

FSMA Spotlight Series #7

Scaling Inclusive Public and Private Enterprises in Fecal Sludge Management: A Global Perspective

In the last decade, many developing countries have come a long way in improving basic sanitation (access to toilets). This achievement has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of toilets and related latrines and septic systems, including in high population growth urban centers; indeed, close to 50% of the urban population rely on non-sewered sanitation (NSS) systems. On-site systems are no longer seen as a temporary solution on a trajectory to sewerage, but instead the solution for most of those not connected to sewerage. As the urban population increases and small towns grow increasingly dense, fecal sludge management (FSM) is all the more important to ensure.
Successful implementation and scaling of sustainable and viable FSM solutions requires increased political will, formulation and effective implementation and enforcement of FSM policies and regulations, defined budget priorities for FSM, mobilizing additional sources of finance, strengthened capacity of service providers, among others.
This session will explore successful cases from South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa on how: i) improved governance and enabling environment for private sector engagement, ii) development and enforcement of rules and regulations to improve performance monitoring, iii) professionalization of public and private service providers, and iv) innovative financing and business models can contribute to scaling inclusive access to sustainable FSM services in developing countries.

Faecal Sludge Management Experiences in Latin America

The management of fecal sludge is a subject full of challenges in the countries of the Latin American region. In the entire value chain of the service and in the links of generation, collection, transport and treatment as well as regulatory and normative issues that make possible and facilitate the monitoring of cleaning, transport and safe disposal services. By disseminating these Latin American experiences, we want to promote the replication of these successful experiences in the region and share existing examples in the management of fecal sludge. As well as sharing inputs that help to generate policies and strategies in countries that share similar characteristics and conditions.

Women in WASH

Practical discussion on what are the major challenges due to gender in our sector and what is actually working to fix it. This session will examine the challenges and opportunities for women’s participation in sanitation, both in the formal and informal sectors. Globally, it is recognized that women bear the brunt of poor sanitation access, yet they are less likely to be consulted about decisions and policies that disproportionately affect them, let alone be in positions of authority and power to make these decisions. In spite of significant challenges due to entrenched gender norms that inhibit women’s opportunities for leadership, the tide is slowly turning, individuals, organizations and even countries are making strives toward more equitable WASH. Join us in learning more about what is working and how you can be part of creating more equality for women in WASH.

How to assess and plan my sanitation and FSM? - Implementing the FSM Toolbox in municipalities. Learning opportunities from South Africa.

This session provides feedback on the approach used to introduce the FSM Toolbox to South Africa (SA). The national sanitation sector leader and the pilot municipality will be providing their experience regarding the FSM Toolbox introduction and pilot exercise. 

Structured multi-level engagements across the South African water sector were carried out such as to advocate, trial and profile the benefits and practical value offerings of the FSM Toolbox to the various levels of the South African sanitation services sector. Appropriate promotion, piloting and trainings were carried out across the user continuum. 

The FSM Toolbox was positively welcomed by the SA sanitation sector, from the national strategic level, to the planning and regulation components, and especially at the “on the ground” user level (e.g. municipal local government).
