On November 15, 2023 a meeting took place through Teams on World Toilet Day.

In the

1. Farhana Rashid, COO, Bhumijo

2. KA Amin, Project Coordinator, WaterAid Bangladesh
3. Julkar Naine Khan Ankon, Sr. Executive, Marketing & Executive, Bhumijo
4. Fayazuddin Ahmad, WaterAid Bangladesh

The following topics were discussed on the meeting:

● The existing ToR is good to go.
● A concept note is to be prepared from ToR in Bengali.
● At least 10-15 members need to be there while launching
● A pre-workshop has to be arranged with other operators to know their challenges and
keep a document of those to include in the concept note.
● Instead of a logo, it was suggested by Hasin apa that a tagline of 2-3 words should
be prepared in Bengali. It will represent the network in a more appropriate way.
● Need to involve/invite ‘আঞ্চলিক নির্বাহী কর্মকর্ত া’
● If pre-workshop is not possible for the lack of time, individual meetings can be
arranged gathering 2-3 operators together. Meeting with the operators informally,
their challenges and feedback can be gathered and included in the keynote
presentation.
● Membership forms will be circulated soon. During the pre-workshop or informal meet
up, membership forms should be filled up by the operators and leaseholders.
● Leaseholders list to be collected from DSCC. Bhumijo will try to gather the list and
share with the network. If other members have access to the list, are encouraged to
do so.
● Operators and relevant people’s attendance in the event will be the main priority.
● Commitment towards contributing to assigned works from Network members is very
important.
● Need to search as many public toilet operators as possible.
