What is sustainable sanitation?What is sustainable sanitation?
Sustainable sanitation means technically viable, socially acceptable and economically affordable.
Sustained hygiene behaviours with long lasting impact on the lives of the people.
Community-led, people-centered, self-sufficiency in implementation
Listening – a report by WSSCC
The main barrier to safe water and sanitation is not the lack of resources, but our willingness to learn from past failures and to listen to learn new approaches.
Looking for innovative approaches to reverse the negative trend of non-achieving
Taking lessons from small scale micro-level projects
Scaling-up from the lessons learned
What is needed? Access to information Access to technology Access to resources
Sustainable sanitation
Challenges in scaling up sustainable sanitation include know how, capacity, attitudes, demand, credit, financing, policies, etc.
National and local Governance should accommodate frameworks for Sustainable Sanitation.
It also needs capacity development
A comprehensive approach towards sustainability
Combining hardware with Software
Sanitation combined with hygiene education
Software activities include :
Information, Education and Communication – IEC
Training and capacity building of CBOs
Hardware activities include :
Construction of household latrines, school latrines, community latrines, providing safe drinking water
Toilet technology park
Toilet options field tested by Gramalaya UNDP – Twin-pit –
pour-flush toilet Single Leach pit toilet Toilet attached with
bathroom with leach-pit
Direct flush-out toilet Dry toilet Eco-san toilet
Best toilet options as experienced by Gramalaya
Toilet attached bathroom with leach-pit
Giving privacy for women and girls during menstrual period, water facilities for hand washing, clothe washing and for
bathing. Eco-san for difficult
areas like Water logging, coastal regions, rocky terrains. Good response in the above areas by the people as it is environment friendly, people realized that frequent cleaning of septic tanks, foul smell, polluting water sources, cannot go for leach-pit low-cost models.
Direct flush out toilet with gooseneck model
Where there is space constraint and people unable to invest more money for toilet construction
Accessible, affordable and acceptable toilets
Different toilet options are provided ranging from zero budget (home made latrines) to Rs.9000/- compost toilets.
Good response for Toilet with bathroom facilities
Toilets with temporary superstructures to reduce the construction cost
For toilets with permanent superstructures using bricks, cement hollow blocks, loan facilities are arranged either through banks or revolving fund through women self-help groups
ECOSAN toilet with bathroom
Toilet attached bathroom
Successfully demonstrated models and scaling up
There are no enough charity organizations to fund toilet construction.
Low-cost, technically viable, acceptable models
Financing by public private partnership – Own funds, commercial banks linkages, SHG savings and MFIs
WaterCredit Initiatives by Gramalaya
WaterCredit WaterCredit means providing small
loans to individuals to promote water and sanitation facilities in their households.
WaterCredit empowers people to immediately address their WATSAN needs. As loans are repaid, they can be redeployed to additional people in need of safe water and sanitation.
Gramalaya field-tested the concept and provided Rs.45,00,000/- to urban poor and the recovery was 100%.
So far Rs. 4,59,45,000/- Provided for water and toilets to 7243 beneficiaries in Tiruchirapalli District through Guardian MFI.
