- Most often the city authority does not know about the polluter and the time of pollution.
- In Bangladesh lack of proper information and awareness of mass people along with the authority make the worse WASH situations . Recent report by World Bank Group reveals that 41% of the water source contaminated with E.coli and 13 % contaminated with Arsenic. Unaware people drink water without knowing water quality parameters, Ultimately got sick and even die in some cases.
- A total of 50.8 million people still used shared sanitation facilities , only 28% people have hand-washing facilities.
- The new SDG Goal-6 challenges Bangladesh to provide access to safe and affordable wash services.

PHPMAP will works in various level , in different schools the students does not have sufficient knowledge about WASH and environmental pollutions.
In High School level students lacking MHM (Ministerial Hygiene Management ) facilities will be educated and benefited from this platform.

PHPMAP will work mainly in three different aspects
Firstly , The WASH ( Water Supply Sanitation & Hygiene ) and Cleanliness module will work in Primary School Level, High School Level, College Level, University Level , Various Government, Autonomous institute, organisations and even for every household level . From each of the level the information about sanitation, water supply , water quality, hygiene , menstrual hygiene system and cleanliness will be send to the appropriate monitoring group or government bodies . Those real time informations will then be stored in the database to make a monthly ranking in terms of WASH & Cleanliness situations. In some cases the best performers will be awarded to encourage other people and make positive social hype in terms of WASH and cleanliness situations.
Secondly Waste Management module will work in various level such as city corporation level, Pourashava (Municipality ) Level, Union Parishod Level or even in the rural levels. From each of the level the real time information about solid waste (Plastic waste, Paper waste, Tin or metals and Ceramics & glass) waste water , kitchen waste and hazardous waste and their management situations will be send to the appropriate monitoring group or government bodies. Competent authority will then can take necessary steps and provide waste management solutions to them. hose real time informations will then be stored in the database to make a monthly/ quarterly/ yearly ranking and mapping in terms of waste and waste management situations. In some cases the best performers will be awarded o encourage other people and make positive social hype in terms of waste management and environmental concern.
Thirdly pollution monitoring module of PHPMAP will work in six different levels (i. e municipality , growth center , etc...). From each of the level the real time information about pollution will be send to the appropriate monitoring group or government bodies. Competent authority will then can take necessary steps and to address pollutions provide solutions to them. Those real time informations will then be stored in the database to make a monthly/ quarterly/ yearly ranking and mapping in terms of pollutions control and mechanism situations.

In Bangladesh there is no such digitalised platform where general people can send real time report to the concerned authority about environmental pollutions, waste management, water, sanitations & hygiene situations.
This initiatives will help the government , various agencies and mass people to attain Sustainable Development Goal -6, Delta Plan 2100
Through this PHPMAP all sort of pollutions , waste and WASH situation will vividly stored and displayed geographically in a map throughout the country, thus policy makers can take the need based real solutions thus making the PHPMAP unique.
This will be unique solutions to provide massive awareness to general people and to control environmental pollutions. This digitalised platform

MIT Solve is global platform where emerging and innovative ideas flourished and get touch with the light. I really believe that if some one win this challenge then that initiatives will get introduced and seriously taken by all other agencies. In our country many good ideas dies before it get concentration and approval from the government. Tiger IT Foundation can help to break those barriers . Funding is also important specially for non profit activities like PHPMAP.

UNICEF is usually working for many countries where there are positive output. So I firmly believe that the pattern and activities of PHPMAP will be very much appreciable to the government and UNICEF affiliation will make it more appealing .
