The SFD graphic shows that 64% of the excreta generated are safely managed while 36% are unsafely managed. The safely managed FS generated by 61% of the population is temporary as these FS is only contained. So once the containment gets filled and FS from the containment is emptied, the percentage of unsafely managed excreta would increase.
