Demonstrating effective Faecal Sludge Management System for Pro-poor sanitation service delivery in Panauti Municipality
Establishing specialized technical support and field research center for FSM and non sewered sanitation
Project Partners: BORDA, Selected Municipalities
Project Area: Urban Municipalities in Nepal
Project Duration: January 2019 to September 2019
Aim:
- To establish visible, successful end-to-end FSM systems and to support governments to get the high quality, reliable and timely technical support they need so they can meet their sanitation goals
Project Description:
Within this project, ENPHO provided technical consulting support to government and sanitation partners in designing, implementing and sustainable operation of high quality, end-to-end faecal sludge management systems that improve sanitation, public health, living conditions and the environment in cities in Nepal. The feasibility assessment and Detailed Project Report (DPR) of FSM services were prepared in three municipalities (Madhuban, Godawari and Dadeldhura). Together with Madhuban municipality, a natural Fecal Sludge Treatment System has been established and preparation of viable business plan including O&M guidelines are in the process. Madhuban municipality contributed land and 50% of construction cost for the establishment of FSTP. Similarly, the project organized trainings and workshops on fecal sludge management and non-sewered sanitation to build local capacity and advocate for FSM services at the local level. Together with EcoConcern Pvt. Ltd., ENPHO has prepared a business model to operate and manage the FSTP at Lubhu.

Supporting the Development of Sustainable Solid Waste Management Strategies for the Mountainous Regions of Pakistan, India and Nepal
Project Partner: Korean Environment Corporation (K-Eco)
Project Areas: Ghandruk and Chomrong of Annapurna Rural Municipality
Project Duration: March to September 2019
Aim:
- To support in developing sustainable solid waste management strategy so as to minimize environmental pollution in the mountainous regions in
Project Description:
Ghandruk and Chomrong have become popular tourist destinations for a unique culture of Gurung residing in that area. The consumption habits and associated activities of tourist and local inhabitants have resulted to increment in solid waste generation and been as one of the most visible environmental problems that are gradually deteriorating the aesthetic value of local mountain environment.
Though various initiatives have been made through various stakeholders in managing solid waste, the region still lacks proper guideline and strategies for solid waste management. To preserve the mountain ecosystem and manage solid waste in the best way, effective plans and strategies are essential. In this regard, ENPHO, in agreement with Korean Environment Corporation (K-Eco) and with the financial support from World Bank, has supported Annapurna Rural Municipality to develop long term solid waste management plan for an effective solid waste management under the project- “Supporting the Development of Sustainable Solid Waste Management Strategies for the Mountainous Regions of Nepal”.
Project Outputs:
- Calculated waste characterization and generation from Ghandruk and Chomrong areas;
- Analyzed findings to indicate potential options for waste management in the specific area;
Major Achievements:
- Prepared Solid Waste Management Strategy Plan and Final Technical Report and submitted to K-Eco
