SFD (Level 2) Report - Shivaraj Municipality, Nepal

Shivaraj Municipality, established in 2014 through the merger of eight Village Development Committees (VDCs) in the Kapilvastu district, Nepal, encompasses 248.08 square kilometres.

The 2021 census reports a population of 84,810 in 16,241 households, with a gender distribution of 51.3% male and 48.7% female.

The SFD graphic shows that 49% of the excreta or faecal sludge generated are safely managed while 51% are unsafely managed. The safely managed Faecal Sludge (FS) generated by 42% 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.
