World Bank / Mumbai Municipality Slum Sanitation Program India (draft) Case study of sustainable sanitation projects Jagtap, A. (2010)
The overreaching objective of the Slum Sanitation Program
(SSP) is to improve the inadequate sanitary conditions within
Mumbai’s slum areas through the provision of community
toilet blocks
- The motivation of the program is to implement a demand
driven community-based toilet project where slum
dwellers are not only beneficiaries but also collaborators.
The participatory approach of the SSP was a precondition
of the World Bank funding
- The program has considered a major role of community
in planning, designing, construction, operation and
maintenance of the toilet blocks
- It is expected that the communities would meet their own
demand the best by forming Community-Based
Organizations (CBOs) supported and motivated from
local NGOs and Officers on Special Duty (from SSP
Department)
- By giving the slum dwellers a sense of ownership and
responsibility towards the sanitary facility, it is expected to
improve the operation and maintenance of the toilet
blocks
