The SFD graphic shows that 38% of the excreta or faecal sludge generated are safely managed while 62% are unsafely managed. The safely managed Faecal Sludge (FS) generated by 26% of the population is temporary as this FS is only contained. So, once the containment gets filled and the FS from the containment is emptied, the percentage of unsafely managed FS would increase.
