Do you want learn how to apply concepts of sustainable faecal sludge management (FSM) on a city-wide scale? This course starts with an overview of what faecal sludge is and an introduces you to the engineering fundamentals and required information for the design and selection of technologies. Sanitation solutions are prone to failure if an integrated planning approach that includes stakeholder involvement and the development of appropriate institutional, management and financial arrangements is not implemented. The course therefore dedicates a complete week to presenting the full picture, in addition to technology, that needs to be considered for sustainable solutions. It concludes with a focus on current research and innovations in technologies, to provide an understanding of the most up-to-date options.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO FAECAL SLUDGE MANAGEMENT
The lectures handled were simple and easily understandable. It would have been more useful, if a few more case studies would have been included.
It was an excellent course for a professional person who wants to know how to calculate or design an FSM plant in a city and intend to learn the technicalities in the design process.
Excellent, I have learned a lot.
It will help me to handle faecal sludge in my profession.
(Why don't I take this training earlier, bad luck)
I like the course content and case studies in this course. I would like to see more case studies in different location in different contexts.
