  • 33Rd WEDC International Conference, City, Country, 2007
    AHMED, JAHAN, BALA & HALL 35th WEDC International Conference, Loughborough, UK, 2011 THE FUTURE OF WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE: INNOVATION, ADAPTATION AND ENGAGEMENT IN A CHANGING WORLD Inclusive sanitation: breaking down barriers S. Ahmed, H Jahan, B. Bala & M. Hall, Bangladesh BRIEFING PAPER 1132 During implementation of WaterAid Bangladesh’s current project it became evident that certain populations were unintentionally being excluded – people with disabilities were one of these groups. Social stigmas and access difficulties meant that they were not present in CBOs or hygiene promotional sessions and excluded from decision making activities, resulting in continued open defecation and other unhygienic behaviours. The linkages between poverty and disability are strong, with disability being both the cause and effect of poverty. Without specific activities to address the requirements of people with disabilities the cycle of poverty remains, further exacerbated by continued exclusion from services such as health care, education and water and sanitation. This paper concentrates on the barriers faced by people with disabilities in accessing water and sanitation services and explains how through WaterAid Bangladesh’s recent initiative, a greater understanding on breaking these barriers is strengthening the future interventions. WaterAid Bangladesh — achieving sustainable environmental health WaterAid Bangladesh (WAB) has been working in Bangladesh implementing water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities since 1986. In 2004 WAB started a 5-year DFID funded project called ‘Achieving Sustainable Environmental Health’ (ASEH) which aimed at reaching the poorest, geographically excluded people living in hydro-geologically difficult areas of the country. In little over 5 years the project has reached nearly 6million beneficiaries with safe and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene promotional activities in both urban and rural areas.

Erosion The Meghna river banks suffer from erosion problems annually, mostly in the monsoon and post monsoon periods. As the transmission line will not have any impact on erosion, a further detailed analysis of erosion was not required for the project. Flooding Flooding situation of the study area is very nominal. The local people informed that, only the historical flash flood occurred in the year of 1988, 1998 and 2004. Flooding of 1988 and 1998 severely affected almost the entire study area. The duration of 1988 and 1998 flood was around 1-1.5 months with flood level of 6-7 ft.
