Abstract

Practical Action works with informal sanitation and waste workers in Bangladesh to improve dignity, working conditions, occupational safety, and incomes, while strengthening the safety, reliability, efficiency, and financial viability of city-wide waste and faecal sludge management services. Through cooperative models and partnerships with municipalities, the programme supports formalisation, improved service delivery, and sustainable urban sanitation systems.
