PROGRAMIn any decentralized wastewater treatment system suchas septic tanks or Johkasou, fecal sludge is also always
generated through the process of treating wastewater. Thismeans wastewater management requires fecal sludge
management (including the collection, treatment, disposal,reuse, etc. associated with wastewater management), as
two sides of the same coin. In addition, wastewater
management and fecal sludge management (FSM) cannot
be implemented without an appropriate legal framework
which can set up a fee collection system, incentives forprivate companies, a monitoring system, operation andmaintenance system, or other measures.
However, it is particularly difficult to install a reasonabletariff mechanism in some countries because of economicalreason (for household accounting), or existing habits (inaddition to the low willingness to pay for wastewater orFSM). Therefore, is it not one of the most appropriate
options to consider wastewater management and FSM as
public works projects to be implemented under theresponsibility of the central / local governments(administrators), to achieve sustainability?

Opening Remarks
Mr. Yasuo Yamamoto
Director, Office for Promotion of Johkasou, Waste Management Division, EnvironmentalRegeneration and Material Cycles Bureau, MOEJ
KeynoteMr. Kazushi Hashimoto
Adviser, Japan Sanitation Consortium

Session A: Sustainable Decentralized Wastewater Management

In this session, Ms. Owada will introduce a case study from Japan in which decentralized domestic wastewater
treatment systems are sometimes installed as public works projects similarly to sewerage system, and Dr. Fan Bin will
share the information on Johkasou projects adopting a PPP (Public Private Partnership) scheme in China.

Session B: Sustainable Fecal Sludge Management
Through case studies from Southeast Asia and India will be reviewed the current situation in a real context of fecal
sludge management (FSM) in developing countries, and considered what should be prioritized or what kind oftechnologies are required to achieve sustainable FSM.

Dr. Fan BinProfessor, Vice Director, State Key Laboratory of Environmental Aquatic Chemistry, ResearchCenter for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Chinese
Academy of Sciences

Fan bin, Dr.-Ing., Professor, Research center for Eco-environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy ofSciences/ University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, focuses his research interests on rural
environmental sanitation. In 2009-2015, With cooperation of Changshu municipal government and CRRC,
he directed and promoted the establishment of Changshu model, prefectural management as a whole forthe rural wastewater treatment, which was then widely applied in the country by the Ministry of Housing
and Urban-Rural development. Now he is devoting in resources-oriented sanitation and have advanced
several engineering solutions of modern home-farm cycle sanitation. In 2005-2207, He served as a special
researcher of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at the National Institute ofEnvironmental Studies (NIES) of Japan. He won the award of the 6th GCE of the Bill-Melinda Gates
Foundation in 2011. He has served as a toilet revolution adviser of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Areas of China since 2019.

Dr. Pham Ngoc Bao
Deputy Director, Adaptation and Water, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)

Dr. Pham Ngoc Bao obtained his Ph.D Degree from The University of Tokyo in Japan in the field ofEnvironmental Engineering and Management. He has more than 15 years of professional experience inconducting, managing and leading international policy-oriented research and capacity building projects inAsia, especially related to water supply & sanitation, decentralized wastewater treatment & management,
septage management in Southeast Asia, resource conservation and recycling, and marine plastics
pollution.
Dr. Bao is currently serving as Deputy Director at IGES, leading a number of international
initiatives/projects funded by various international development partners and donor agencies such as
JICA, UNEP, UNESCAP, and World Bank

Mr. Krishna C. RaoAdvisor Program and Management, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Institute, India

Krishna Chaitanya Rao is a trained development expert with an academic background in international
development and non-profit management and bachelors in chemical engineering. Krishna has more than
20 years of experience working in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Since last 10years, Krishna is assisting governments, donors, NGOs and private sector in sanitation provision such as
fecal sludge management (FSM) and solid and liquid waste management incorporating reuse. Krishna hasdeveloped various business models for agro & domestic waste and tested them for feasibility in multiple
cities in developing countries. Krishna has worked with national and state governments in South Asia andselect African countries to improve sanitation and setting up of fecal sludge treatment plants. Krishna has
been part of teams to develop national policies and guidelines on sanitation and promoting reuse.

Dr. Pierre Flamand
Manager - international affairs, Japan Sanitation Consortium (JSC)

Pierre is the Manager of International Affairs at the Japan Sanitation Consortium (JSC), the Asia-PacificWater Forum’s Knowledge Hub for sanitation. He has over 15 years of experience in sanitation, withparticular focus on fecal sludge management. Since joining JSC in 2009, he has been involved in sanitation
projects in Viet Nam, Malaysia and Bhutan. He is the co-author of ‘Sanitation and Sustainable
Development in Japan’ (2016). Since 2015, he has been involved in several Working Groups of ISO/TC 224
as an expert representing Japan for the creation of standards on on-site domestic wastewater systems
and stormwater management in urban areas. He has in-depth knowledge on how the country has solved
the severe sanitation issues in the 1960s, including the role played by the government in the enactmentof policies, guidelines, and legal instruments for wastewater management.
Pierre holds a doctoral degree in regional development studies and is also a visiting researcher at Toyo
University in Japan.
