BORDA South Asia
BORDA South Asia operates in four countries: India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal with its regional office located in Bangalore, India.
The phenomenal urban population growth in South Asia is not supported by proportionate infrastructure development. Local policy-makers and authorities face an enormous challenge: to provide all citizens with adequate, affordable and sustainable sanitation systems. Flexible, decentralised systems are needed to protect the environment and the health and dignity of local residents.
By improving sanitation and promoting decentralised waste and wastewater treatment options, BORDA aims to alleviate poverty while protecting natural resources and mitigating the impact of climate change in South Asia. more about us
