Background and Purpose of the assignment:

In the year 2018, about 4.2 billion people, including over 15 million low income households, live in urban centers. Approximately, 80 per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP) is generated in cities (Grübler and Fisk, 2013). The total amount of waste generated globally is expected to double from nearly 2 billion metric tons in 2016 to about 4 billion metric tons by 2050 . Urban dwellers produce more than 25,000 metric tons of waste and 310 tons of sludge a day (ADB & Waste Concern, 2008), disposed untreated mostly in drains and water bodies, emitting green gas around 2.19 million ton CO2/year. Access to safe disposal of faecal sludge and solid waste is very limited and almost non-existent for low income communities. The National Water Policy identified untreated indiscriminate disposal of waste and sludge as one of the major causes of water pollution and degradation of water quality. The Government of Bangladesh’s (GoB) Seventh Five Year Plan also identified the unsafe disposal of waste as one of main reasons for clogged drains and water logging which disproportionately affects the community health and economic wellbeing.
