Registered legally in Karnataka as a Charitable Trust, ACTS has more than 20 years experiences in all kind of capacity building. E-learning labs and stuff for training activities.5 years experience in urban ecosan slum upgrading: It was launching, implementing and operating the first public ecosan toilet center project in an Indian slum. The new toilet center has been constructed in a slum in Bangalore/India. It allows separated collection of urine and faeces. Urine is used directly as a fertilizer on an agricultural education campus. The faeces are professionally composted. The compost is used to grow medical plants on the campus as well as for banana production. A new sustainable development concept is being tested here, one, which tackles the problems of sewage water and faeces and creates an opportunity for one aspect of slum development: The income generated by the project (users fee, compost, bananas) can cover 50 % and more of the running cost of the toilet centers.

Main role in the project:
Acts will be responsible for knowledge integration and participation. It will also be responsible for the elaboration of "lessons learned", "best practices requirements" and "case study reporting" based on existing ecosan projects in India. ACTS will also be responsible for all kind of reuse aspects of urine and faecal matter since it has long-term experiences in the utilization of urine and faecal compost of digested sludge for agricultural production. Further on ACTS will be strongly involved in the "Face to Face" and the e-learning part of the action.
