dc.description.abstract Faecal sludge management is a global concern, predominantly in low income countries that rely on on-site sanitation technologies. Improving faecal sludge management and urban sanitation are the major global challenges in Ethiopia, which pose significant negative public health and environmental risks in the 21st century. The faecal sludge management in Jigjiga City is also challenging that hinder effective sanitation and public health. The inadequate infrastructure and growing population in the city exacerbates this problem. Therefore, this study this study this study this study this study was carried out to investigate the current fecal sludge management situations in Jigjiga City. To address the research objectives, the relevant data were collected through household surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, field observation and relevant document review. Descriptive data analysis and shit flow diagram (SFD) was employed. As a result, 75.6 % of households of households of households in Jigjiga have private toilet in rivate toilet in rivate toilet in rivate toilet in rivate toilet in their own house or rented houseor rented house or rented houseor rented houseor rented house or rented house or rented house. The shared toilets accounted for 15.9% in governmental owned houses and 8.5% in rented privately owened owened owened owened houses.

The developed SFD results also showed that only 9.4% of faecal sludge was effectively managed and 90.6% was not safely managed, causing health risk exposure directly or contaminating the groundwater sources. To improve the existing sanitation management in the city, several feasible options are proposed, including implementation of decentralized sanitation systems, enhancement of public-private partnerships, engaging the community and promoting awareness, adoption of innovative technologies and practices, and , and , and strengthening local policies and regulations.
