Khulna City Corporation (KCC) is the 3rd largest city of Bangladesh, situated in the south-west coastal area of the country. There are 31 wards in KCC with about 1.77 million people living in the city as a whole (GCRF, 2018), but 40% of them live under the poverty line (ADB, 2011). Most of these poor households of KCC live in the densely populated slums (CUS, 2005; CUS, 2011) that are being built in private lands by the landlords or built-in unauthorized government lands by the influential without proper planning, without ensuring utility services and without permission by the Khulna Development Authority (KDA) due to lack of governance. 45% of the households and their toilets are connected to the drains illegally due to ineffective WATSAN standing committee of KCC and effective monitoring mechanisms by KCC and Ward councilors’ offices, Department of Public Health Engineering Department (DPHE) and Department of Environment (DoE). On the other hand, citizens do not understand their responsibilities as a citizen.
