Abstract: This research assesses the current situation of drinking water and sanitation at Shahidbug slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in comparison with targets 6.1 and 6.2 of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. Drinking water, sanitation and hygiene-related data and information were collected through field survey in the period May–August 2019. The results reveal that in Shahidbug slum only 38.64% of people have access to a safely managed drinking water service, and only 1.18% of people have access to safely managed sanitation services. The paper recommends some steps to achieve SDG targets 6.1 and 6.2 in Shahidbug slum by 2030.
