Faecal Sludge Management Guide

This guide is a reference document intended for WaterAid staff to help create
better sanitation programmes. It provides the basis for a series of internal training
sessions on Faecal Sludge Management (FSM), a crucial way to help achieve safely
managed sanitation for everyone, everywhere.
This is not a manual, nor does it provide a single way to approach FSM for every
situation. There is already a wealth of existing resources on FSM, and you can find
examples of these at the end. This guide does not replace them; rather, it offers
a subjective selection of approaches, principles, tools, technologies and projects
that we believe are important for WaterAid.
