Integrated Water and Sanitation Model for Rural India

2013 - 2017 • Collectives for Integrated Livelihood Initiatives (CInI)

Purpose

Sanitation promotion and sustainable sanitation technology for rural households, as part of livelihood projects aimed at alleviating poverty among tribal communities (in the states of Gujarat and Jharkhand)

Activities

This integrated rural water and sanitation project builds on the experiences of the Trust, CInI and its Implementing Support Agencies (ISA) derived from the implementation of community based drinking water supply systems across rural India. The collaboration with the Gates Foundation will focus on integrating sanitation into the village level action plans; leveraging community groups and structures (for example, women’s self help groups (SHGs), community based organizations and committees like the Village Water and Sanitation Committees) to generate demand, shape social norms and streamline delivery; and leveraging available funds for different components like water supply, environmentally sustainable sanitation, etc. from various ongoing Government programs. The main elements of the project are summarized in the table in the document attached below.

As stated previously, Gates Foundation funding will be utilized only to promote sanitation outcomes hence this project will focus mainly on the sanitation component of the project (and related cross-cutting themes).

Countries of activity

Location of main activity

Objectives

1. To scale up a sustainable operating model for rural sanitation for 25,000 households across 200-250 target villages in four districts of Gujarat and two districts of Jharkhand
2. Test and document innovations to improve rural sanitation coverage and uptake
3. To support and strengthen the implementation of the NBA in other geographies of Gujarat and Jharkhand as well as nationally through evidence-based advocacy drawn from project lessons and results

Further information

Research or implementation partners:

The sub-grantees (Implementation Support Agencies - ISA) for this grant have been finalized. As the project intends to work through community groups and organizations and village-level leaders to advance water, sanitation & hygiene goals, ISAs with strong grassroots experience in community mobilization are well positioned to leverage their relationships and experience have been selected. Based on past work in Gujarat and Jharkhand, CInI has identified ISAs. These ISAs have worked extensively in the two states and have built credible relationships with local government through their past work on livelihoods, agriculture, water and allied areas. Some of the Gujarat partners – Coastal Salinity Prevention Cell (CSPC), N M Sadguru Water & Development Foundation (NMSWDF) and Aga Khan Rural Support Program, India (AKRSPI) have also worked directly on sanitation issues under other similar programs in different geographies.
