Institutional setup for implementation

Village Saturation �Converging existing schemes to achieve saturation Nirmal Gram Puraskar ▪ 313 GPs by 2012 -13 Paryavaran Santulit Smrudh Gram Yojna ▪ 420 GPs had received award for 3 years by 2012 -13 Sant Gadge Baba Abhiyan

Village saturation � Village level, participatory Open Defecation Elimination Planning (ODEP) process integrated with SBM • ODE planning - village level participatory process for mobilizing community, triggering action and generating implementable plan • Listing of HHs – typology wise etc and funding line wise • Communication plan for each HH – Who, How, When • Involvement of GP and Opinion makers • Simple formats for plan, process and budget • Community Ownership

Village Saturation - ODEP

Achieving Scale Diligent AIP preparation to cover the entire district by saturating GPs. �Till 2012 -13 total 313 GPs awarded NGP. All NGP GPs targeted as non-AIP GPs from 2013 -14 �From 2013 -14 AIP saturation model followed since only 118 non-NGP GPs were to be targeted �From 2014 -15 since target was low, whole district allowed to be taken for ODF declaration

Steps for community involvement �Engaging implicit pressure groups ▪ Families coming for Ganpati from Mumbai (Aspirational) ▪ Daily prayer ritual in schools – generating a feeling of positive envy over owning toilet amongst kids in school (Competition) ▪ Baby pans in Aanganwadis – making kids used to using toilets (Habit) ▪ Ladies through Bachat Gat etc (Honor and safety) ▪ Nana Nani Sabha – targeting old family members (Convenience)

Steps for community involvement � Coastal belt cleanliness drive – Limca Book of World Record citation 5000 volunteers in 29 Gram Panchayats of 3 coastal blocks 31000 plastic bottles, 21000 glass bottles, 19000 footwear, 15000 plastic bags and 13000 wrappers collected and disposed

Steps for community involvement � Kopra (Corner) Sabhas ▪ Night time sabhas for IEC and behavioral change ▪ Generally near the temples – deeply religious populace Usage of local folk arts for IEC Dashavataar is a way of life and not just a forced IEC Pinguli Kalsutri (Puppet Show) – Sindhudurg’s local art

Partnership with other organizations/ stakeholders and PRIs � Service organizations like Lion’s club � Religious organizations like Dharmadhikari Pratishthhan � NGOs like Bhagirath Organization � CBOs like Yuva and Bhajani mandal � Educational institutes– through NSS activities � Elected representatives and PRIs

Local policy intervention or flexibility – Effective Convergence of funds and HR � Encouragement amount by Gram Panchayats over and above Government assistance ▪ Paryavaran Santulit Samrudh Gram Yojna ▪ Tanta Mukt Gaon Yojna ▪ Cess of the Gram Panchayat � Panchayat Samiti Cess ▪ Converging bio-gas with toilets ▪ Rs 2000 extra assistance

Local policy intervention or flexibility in SBM implementation �Special provision through Zila Parishad Cess ▪ Special assistance upto Rs. 5000 by Social welfare and ICDS Department from cess for SC and Women led HH �Provision of Rs 1 Crore in 2015 -16 for public toilets through DPDC funds for tourism heavy spots

Who actually constructed the toilet Transparency � Through trained masons – local and trained through SBM � Supply chain management at Wadi level � Wide publicity of toilet completion list at Gram Panchayat � Community monitoring – Village Water & Sanitation Committee � Effective monitoring by the system

Addressing the issue of Sustainability � Sustained targeting of the “implicit pressure groups” � Inducing the usage message through Mahila Bachat Gat � Gram Sabha resolution on Sec 115 of Bombay Police Act – law abiding populace � Comfort during rainy season � Fear of wild animals and reptiles – females and old age at home � Hammering the message during all festivals – “Aamhi Vaaparto, Tumhi Vaapra”

Innovations in implementation. Creating enabling environment �Context based use of new techniques for toilet design ▪ Evolving solutions to suit local demands and problems ▪ Initially superstructure from coconut leaves ▪ Direct seat over the pit – tackling land problem ▪ Pits constructed above high tide water level for coastal areas ▪ Temporary fiber/GI superstructures for rehabilitation villages

Monitoring and Evaluation What have we achieved? (qualitative) Monitoring How much have we achieved? (quantitative) Why and how have we (not) implemented something? What output & outcome has our work? What strengthens or hinders our work? Process Monitoring (Inputs) Results monitoring Context monitoring

Monitoring and Evaluation – 3 Step verification Step- 1: ODF GP DECLARATION Step-2 : ODF VERIFICATION Step-3 : ODF+ DECLARATION Total GPs 431 Declared & Verified Declared but not Verified 354 GPs (82. 3%) 65 GPs (15. 1%) Not Declared 11 GPs (2. 6%)

Systems improvement in Monitoring and Evaluation �Jurisdictional monitoring by block level field officers – Kendra Pramukhs, ANMs, Extension Officers �Dattak Villages – adopted by District level officers for Gram Panchayat with slow progress �Use of District and State KRCs �Yellow Registers at Gram Panchayat Level

Significant ideas that helped district achieve its outcomes 1. Improved performance of existing systems üMovement started somewhere around 2003 -04 ü“Kutumb Sampark Abhiyan”: Aanagnwadi Sewikas, ASHA Workers and Gram Sewak – later IPC in ODEP üDattak Villages üGood early participation in NGP, Sant Gadge Baba scheme, Paryavarn Santulit Gram Yojna üEfficient and effective convergence of schemes, funds and HR üOld fashioned but effective continuous administrative hammering, monitoring and evaluation

Significant ideas that helped district achieve its outcomes 2. Intelligent use of social networks and stakeholders ü Making sanitation as a civil society priority ü Use of “caste” based wadis as basic units - community leaders – creating demand through positive spillover ü Induced sense of competition – Sarpanch involvement ü Community led participatory- ODEP planning ü Participation of all stakeholders ü CBOs & Religious Organizations ü Implicit pressure groups - “Chakarmanis” etc ü PRIs ü Focusing on women populace

Significant ideas that helped district achieve its outcomes 3. Adaptive Leadership – No one size fits all ▪ Tailoring the system to suit local cultural, social, geographical and economic context ▪ Early identification of the strengths and weaknesses ▪ Given a deeply religious populace – using religion positively ▪ Context based use of new techniques for toilet design ▪ Use of locally available materials

Way forward �Plastic free Gram Panchayats �Menstrual Health Management �Solid waste segregation and management solutions �Use of new tehcnologies for liquid waste management for baazar villages

Suggestions or Improvement to the program �Integrating sanitation and usage of toilets in the formal education system �Incentivizing the ODF village as a whole by prioritizing it in other rural development programs �Making individual schemes – esp. ZP and Panchayat Samiti cess schemes incumbent upon usage of toilet
