Bundi – Sanitation Campaign, under NBA

• Though a community led campaign was initiated

in 2012, it could not scale up due change in leadership & structural defects –2 GPs ODF

• Renewed efforts in August 2013 by addressing

core concerns with focus on Institutional Strengthening & capacity building

• October’2013: Reinitiated the campaign with the

technical support of WSP (Community led approach focusing on ODF, rather than mere construction )

• December 2013 : 2 GPs became ODF
• February 2014 : 15 GPs became ODF and

counting

Major Challenges & Changes Made

Previously Now

Limited manpower: No DRGs, Motivators in the team DRG at every block for training and motivating the team at GP; Motivators appointed at GP level IEC approach focused on wall paintings, slogans etc IPC (inter-personal communication) made the basic tool for motivation Focus purely on number of toilets built Focus is now on ODF Therefore, community involvement minimal; often toilets not even used Through IPC & ODF concept, entire GP is mobilised, making this a community based movement Large government agencies at GP level unutilized/no incentives ASHAs, Ward Panches & other active members of the society to receive monetary incentive @ Rs. 75/toilet Tedious payment procedure & less amount Convergence with MGNREGA & advance revolving fund for quick payments to completed toilets

District Level – Core Group (Collector, CEO, ACEO, District Coordinator) : For weekly review and monitoring – District Resource Group – Identified from the best performing motivators – Engaged on a daily basis (Rs. 350 per day, Rs. 500 for night charges, as per

• perational guideline)

– Trained by WSP to facilitate CLTS triggering Sub- district Level – Core Group (BDO, Block Coordinators) – Regular review of field level staff, DRGs & GPs
