Sanitation Interventions vis-à-vis Scaling and sustainability

• M. KULLAPPA & SURS India team

Water and Sanitation Program (WSP)/ The world Bank

The study focused on the processes and sustainability

• f Sanitation Interventions under NBA to understand

the

• Relationship between Interventions and Sustainability
• Driving forces for high performance and retarding

forces for low performance

• Challenges and barriers for scaling up

Summary

Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

• Sample survey in 56 districts of 12 states covering about

10,000 households (over 50000 population); 112 NGP GPs

• Interventions divided in to three components
• 15 indicators developed and attributed a score totaling to 100

to assess the level of sustainability;

Methodology

Process Rating Scale

• Each Component is

divided into 3 sub- components

• Each subcomponent

comprises 5 indicators

• Each indicator is

assigned a score

• Max score = 100
• Scoring weight in

favor of sustainability

• HH investing own resources
• Dedicated personnel for logistic and other support to reach all
• Choice in technology option based on community preference
• Implementation in phases
• Rewards and recognition for staff
• Utilization of funding for long term usage/quality
• Effective use of Mass media
• Checking NGP applications before forwarding to GoI

Key Success Factors

Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

• Inter-department coordination
• focus is on household toilet coverage rather than achieving

100% ODF status

• Less priority for Sanitation as against other development

programs

• Non availability of human resources to give thrust for

sanitation initiatives

• Focus on a particular technology option rather than a menu of

choices

Barriers/Challenges as identified

Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

High Performers have done this!

ODF Communities

Strategy => Collective behavior change

Strong political / administrative buy-in Dedicated Institutional Arrangement & Better management Build Capacity to facilitate BCC Create demand for safe sanitation Facilitate supply linkage Incentives for Outcomes Monitor Collective Outcomes HH invest own resources

Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

Low performers have done this

Contractors engaged to build toilets

Toilet Construction

Strategy => Meet Construction Targets

Weak political / administrative buy-in Weak Institutional Arrangement Weak Capacity Assume construction will lead to demand

Upfront h/w subsidy Counting toilets

Technology fit to unit cost

Suggestions: Way Forward

+ve = Supply and Availability of Funding. Need to focus on

• Monitoring outcomes and reporting quality data
• Creating demand for sanitation through behavior

change

• Delivery of subsidy as per NBA Guidelines, pay direct

into beneficiary bank a/c after ODF habitation

• Competition to sustain NGP can help to ensure that

NGP winners are not ‘forgotten’
