Demonstration of a decentralized and sustainable FSM solution in a low-income resettlement colony in Delhi To develop and demonstrate a technically, economically, and socially effective and viable FSM management model for low-income settlements of Delhi and other similar urban areas in India WaterAid,
The project aims to demonstrate a small-scale pilot of a viable and sustainable decentralised FSM solution in an urban low-income re-settlement colony in Delhi. In future, the proposed project intends to provide technical advisory support to the Delhi Government to facilitate adoption of such practices in similar low-income high-density settlements in the city. Additionally, we will setup a stakeholder dialogue platform to bring together government departments, NGOs, community groups and private sector to ensure that the demonstration integrates both public policy objectives with local preferences.
There will be activities undertaken to engage the communities and enhance educational programmes on FSM.
The proposed project will also address contemporary innovations encompassing the entire containment, collection, transport, treatment/reuse sanitation value chain, and develop a viable business model for successful demonstration of the solution. To achieve the desired impact, we will be working closely with relevant government agencies such as the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), and the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB).
The consortium successfully convinced decision makers from Government agencies, that is, Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) for demonstration of FSM project in Delhi, which resulted into gaining their inputs in technology design finalization and approval, willingness to own the FSTP post successful commissioning and implementation of the project.
The other biggest success is securing required land for FSTP construction and consistent support & participation by both the government agencies at various platform in the project processes.
