In Khulna, Bangladesh, mechanical faecal sludge (FS) emptying and transport (E&T) service is provided by community development committees (CDCs) and the Khulna City Corporation (KCC). Without considering capital expenditure and depreciation, financial analysis for one year revealed that a CDC-1 m vacutug made a profit of Bangladeshi taka (BDT) 145,780 (USD $1746) whereas a KCC-2 m vacutug was in the loss of BDT 218,179 (USD $2613). There is a need to engage the private sector for sustainable service provision. Some of the key elements of enabling the environment for private sector engagement are policy/strategy, institutional and regulatory framework, implementation capacity, and financial viability. Existing policy/strategy/frameworks acknowledged the need and suggested plans for private sector engagement, and decentralised authority to city corporations. With increasing private-public partnership projects and collaboration in the sanitation sector, capacity of the KCC and the private sector are increasing. Financial viability of the FS E&T business is primarily dependent on the number of trips and the emptying fee. For the E&T business to be financially viable, a 2 m vacutug should make six trips/day (internal rate of return (IRR)-13%, discount rate-6.5%) with an emptying fee of BDT 750 (USD $9)/m. Despite the lack of operative guidelines for faecal sludge management (FSM), enabling the environment for private sector engagement in FS E&T business in Khulna seems favourable.
在孟加拉国库尔纳，机械粪便（FS）清空和运输（E&T）服务由社区发展委员会（CDCs）和库尔纳市公司（KCC）提供。不考虑资本支出和折旧，一年的财务分析显示，一个 CDC-1 m 真空抽吸器获利孟加拉塔卡 145780 （1746 美元），而 KCC-2 m 真空抽吸器亏损 218179 孟加拉塔卡（2613 美元）。需要吸引私营部门提供可持续服务。为私营部门参与创造有利环境的一些关键要素包括政策/战略、体制和监管框架、执行能力和财务可行性。现有的政策/战略/框架承认需要并为私营部门的参与和权力下放给城市公司提出了计划。随着公私伙伴关系项目和环境卫生部门合作的增加，KCC 和私营部门的能力也在增强。FS E&T 业务的财务可行性主要取决于旅行次数和清空费用。为了使 E&T 业务具有财务可行性，2 m 真空抽吸器每天应进行六次旅行（内部收益率（IRR）为 13%，折现率为 6.5%），清空费用为每立方米 750 孟加拉塔卡（9 美元）。尽管缺乏粪便管理（FSM）的操作性准则，但在库尔纳为私营部门参与 FS E&T 业务创造有利环境似乎是有利的。
