Sanitation Capacity Building Platform (SCBP) is an initiative of the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) for addressing urban sanitation challenges in India and it is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant. It is aimed at promoting non-sewered sanitation solutions for septage and wastewater management in India. The Platform is an organic and growing collaboration of credible national and international organizations, universities, training and resource centers, non-governmental organizations, academia, consultants and experts. SCBP works in close collaboration with the National Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (NFSSM) Alliance. The Platform lends support to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, by focusing on urban sanitation and supporting states and cities to move beyond the open defecation free (ODF) status by addressing safe disposal and treatment of faecal sludge and septage. Considering the emerging priorities of water conservation, managing water demand and reducing the wastewater footprint, SCBP’s core is capacity building for Non-Sewered Sanitation and Integrated Wastewater Management. SCBP anchors the Training Module Review Committee (TMRC) of the NFSSM Alliance with the mandate to develop innovative training content and to ensure quality control, delivery of FSSM trainings and capacity building efforts across India.
