Problem statement
-
Pehle shauchalaya, phir devalaya First toilets, then temples
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India At a function organized in New Delhi for the youth, October, 2013
The need for sanitation is of utmost importance. Although the Central
Government is providing resources within its means, the task of total sanitation
cannot be achieved without the support of all. The Government intends to cover
every household by total sanitation by the year 2019, the 150th year of the Birth
anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi through Swatchh Bharat Abhiyan.
Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister of India,
Para 30, Union Budget, 2014-15
Increasing priority of government
-
"Clean India" campaign from 2nd October this year and carry it forward in 4 years. I want to make a beginning today itself and that is - all schools in the country should have toilets with separate toilets for girls. The government should utilise its budget on providing toilets. I call upon the corporate sector also to give priority to the provision of toilets in schools with your expenditure under Corporate Social Responsibility. This target should be finished within one year with the help of state governments and on the next 15th August, we should be in a firm position to announce that there is no school in India without separate toilets for boys and girls

Policy, process and financial gaps
Infrastructure gaps
Communication gaps
Problem statement
-
Issues in policy, process and financial gaps
- Absence of convergence between various stakeholders for WASH activities stakeholders such as State Dept. of Health and Family Welfare, State Dept. of Education, State Dept. of Women and Child Development and AMC
- Absence of systems and regimes within local government no standard operating procedures for operation, maintenance & repairs of sanitation facilities, and on-site sanitation systems
- Deficiency in beneficiary contributions for availing various sanitation schemes of State and local governments
- Limited accessibility of advance governance systems (e-gov/ m-gov) to the urban poor
- Insensitivity towards gender requirements in sanitation, especially in schools
Problem statement
-
Issues in sanitation infrastructure provision to urban poor
- Many parts of the city are not covered by safe
drinking water - Large parts of slums do not have access to safe
sanitation facilities - Many municipal schools lack clean, maintained
and usable water provisions and toilets - Many toilets in slums are not connected to safe
waste water disposal systems - Open defecation is prevalent in the city and
manual scavenging has been reported by independent sources
- Garbage nuisance spots are spread across the city, especially in slums
Problem statement
-
Gaps in behaviour change communication
- Insufficient WASH activities in municipal schools - Lack of motivation in schools to adopt and
spread WASH learnings - Negligible attention towards menstrual hygiene
in municipal schools - Limited household level outreach to disseminate
WASH - Existing network of SHGs/ CBOs not utilised for
sanitation awareness - inadequate campaign by local government for
eliminating open defecation
Problem statement
-
