One of CSE's key areas of intervention has been Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) to deal with the daunting challenge of on-site sanitation. The programme has been involved in preparing City Sanitation Plans as lead global south / Indian partner of GIZ led global consortia and creating ‘Shit Flow Diagrams’, or SFDs. CSE has made contributions to the national policy on Faecal Sludge and Septage Management, which was launched by the Union Ministry of Urban Development in Feb. 2017. This included dedicated budgets for FSSM across 500 + cities in India and AMRUT sub mission on FSSM for water bodies / Ganga river rejuvenation. SFDs have attracted worldwide interest – from Bangladesh, Ghana, Tanzania and South Africa.
