The role of non-governmental organizations in decentralised wastewater management in Bangladesh
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Mahmudul Hasan, Md. Nasir Uddin, Jonathan ParkinsonThis paper focuses on the role of NGO’s in the provision of infrastructure and wastewater management services in Bangladesh
in relation to the context of decentralisation. Using two examples of decentralised waster management, the paper
describes the way in which decentralised approaches may be more responsive to local needs and demands involving local
community in the decision-making process. Although these are seen to be successful at the local level, the lack of higher
lever institutional support and a policy framework to promote an enabling environment means that these projects remain
as isolated cases. Within the existing context in Bangladesh, the paper concludes with proposed capacity building requirements
that are envisaged to be necessary to overcome these constraints and to enable wider replication of these examples
of decentralised wastewater management.
