Overcoming capacity gaps in fecal sludge management through education and training
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Sterenn Philippe, Brittany Coff, L. MacDonald, M. Foran2.7 billion people around the world are in need of Fecal Sludge Management (FSM) services, and this
number is expected to rise to 4.9 billion by 2030. Key FSM challenges include the gap in knowledge
related to the science behind FSM, the lack of skills and experience in viable implementation models, and
the absence of policy to ensure an enabling environment. The Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation
Technologies (CAWST) is working toward filling the capacity gaps in FSM through developing and
delivering education and training activities to sanitation implementers. This paper describes the
systematic program development process that CAWST undertook to plan and develop the education
materials, pilot the FSM workshop to sanitation implementers in Nepal, and use the feedback to improve
and finalize the education materials. Results and feedback from the pilot workshop are discussed, and
next steps are explained.
