City wide sanitation investment to transform Warangal to trigger city level change and replication

2017 - 2021 • Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI)

Purpose

To support city-wide sanitation improvements with a focus on FSM

Activities

Transforming the City of Warangal in to a model sanitation city with emphasis on faecal sludge management

Interventions focused across the FSM value chain focused on equitable and inclusive access to sanitation:
• Access - Construction of new household toilets, public toilets on PPP and SHE toilets.
• Containment – Conversion of insanitary toilets to sanitary toilets, containment as per scientific design standards.
• Transport – Empaneled desludging operators being monitored through ICT tools, submitted proposal and planning implementation of scheduled desludging.
• Treatment – Operationalized 15 KLD FSTP based on thermal process (pyrolysis). Building 10 KLD pilot FSTP based on bio-digester technology. Adding additional capacity of 150KLD for city-wide implementation of scheduled desludging.
• Institutional strengthening and capacity building: Established a Non-sewer sanitation cell headed by the Municipal Health Officer (MHO) focused on implementing and sustaining FSM interventions. Organized training programs and study tours for NSS cell members. Empowering sanitation workers through initiatives focused on safety, well-being and livelihoods.
• Behavioral Change Communication (BCC): Developing new and innovative BCC campaign strategies for FSM with the help of partners - BBC Media Action.
• Monitoring and evaluation: Developed ICT tools to monitor utilization of PTs, disposal of sewage by desludging operators, S-Line – to drive construction of household toilets and conversion of insanitary toilets to sanitary toilets.
• Community Engagement: Reconstituted City Sanitation Task Force (CSTF), a multi-stakeholder platform to drive and sustain sanitation interventions. CSTF has a gender sub-committee with women leaders and representatives of the third gender to ensure equitable access to sanitation and women empowerment. Commitment from corporates; to fund STP in a government social housing project for the urban poor and for WASH and MHM initiatives in schools.
• Innovation: Developed a soap bank, a crowd sourced platform for creating a soap repository to be used by children in government schools for hand washing, promoting workers' safety and well being

Biggest successes so far:
• First city in India to operationalize FSM guidelines in 2016
• Establishment of the first Faecal sludge treatment plant based on pyrolysis and development of a sanitation resource park in December 2017
• More than 45 public toilets on PPP with well-defined Service Level Agreements
• Use of Information and Communication Tools for monitoring
• First of its kind in the country, exclusive, “women only” toilets for women– SHE toilets.
• Universal coverage of WASH infrastructure in schools
• First city government to have a Non-sewer sanitation cell
• City Sanitation Task Force, a multi stakeholder group actively involved in sanitation planning and monitoring with a subgroup on gender
• Proposal for scheduled desludging approved by the City Council
• Scaling up Warangal experience across the state covering 73 towns in Telangana
