Description

Over the last few years, the importance of treating human faecal sludge has become increasingly clear. Human faecal matter has high-levels of pathogens and can drive significantly adverse health externalities if not treated and rendered harmless. In many countries in the Global South, dedicated FSM business models and technologies have been developed to address this problem of faecal sludge management.In this episode we cover business models for FSM in Indian cities talking to Prof. Chary from ASCI, Sakshi Gudwani from BMGF and Manas Rath from Blue Water company . Listen in as we discuss emerging trends, lessons and solutions from their experiences. They discuss FSM as a separate waste stream, private sector business models in large and small cities, technology trends, policy and regulatory models to attract players and funding and more.Visit https://dalberg.com/ to learn more about us and www.washincities.org to learn more about the podcast.

High quality water, sanitation, and waste management services are critical to ensure health, human dignity, and economic growth. And yet, this is a crucial challenge as a high proportion of these urban residents do not have access to clean drinking water, safe sanitation, and waste management services. Furthermore, climate change is exacerbating the delivery of WASH services in urban areas across the world. Your hosts Nirat Bhatnagar & Shruti Goyal bring together leaders from philanthropy & funders, innovators, social entrepreneurs, researchers, & policy makers to discuss both problems and solutions within WASH in Cities.The WASH in Cities Podcast is produced by Dalberg Advisors.To know more, visit www.washincities.org
