Sanitation Interventions vis-à-vis Scaling and sustainability M. KULLAPPA & SURS India team Water and Sanitation Program (WSP)/ The world Bank

Summary The study focused on the processes and sustainability of Sanitation Interventions under NBA to understand the • Relationship between Interventions and Sustainability • Driving forces for high performance and retarding forces for low performance • Challenges and barriers for scaling up Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

Methodology • Sample survey in 56 districts of 12 states covering about 10,000 households (over 50000 population); 112 NGP GPs • Interventions divided in to three components • 15 indicators developed and attributed a score totaling to 100 to assess the level of sustainability; Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale?

Process Rating Scale • Each Component is divided into 3 sub- components • Each subcomponent comprises 5 indicators • Each indicator is assigned a score • Max score = 100 Catalyzing • Scoring weight in Implementing favor of sustainability Sustaining

Key Success Factors • HH investing own resources • Dedicated personnel for logistic and other support to reach all • Choice in technology option based on community preference • Implementation in phases • Rewards and recognition for staff • Utilization of funding for long term usage/quality • Effective use of Mass media • Checking NGP applications before forwarding to GoI Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

Barriers/Challenges as identified • Inter-department coordination • focus is on household toilet coverage rather than achieving 100% ODF status • Less priority for Sanitation as against other development programs • Non availability of human resources to give thrust for sanitation initiatives • Focus on a particular technology option rather than a menu of choices Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale?

High Performers have done this! Strategy => Collective behavior change Incentives for Outcomes Outcomes Collective Monitor HH invest own Strong political / resources administrative buy-in Facilitate supply Dedicated Institutional ODF Communities linkage Arrangement & Better management Create demand for Build Capacity to safe sanitation facilitate BCC Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale? Distilling critical success factors for scaling-up rural sanitation

Low performers have done this Strategy => Meet Construction Targets Upfront h/w Counting subsidy toilets Technology fit to unit Weak political / cost administrative buy-in Contractors Weak Institutional Toilet Construction Arrangement engaged to build toilets Weak Capacity Assume construction will lead to demand Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale?

Suggestions : Way Forward +ve = Supply and Availability of Funding. Need to focus on • Monitoring outcomes and reporting quality data • Creating demand for sanitation through behavior change • Delivery of subsidy as per NBA Guidelines , pay direct into beneficiary bank a/c after ODF habitation • Competition to sustain NGP can help to ensure that NGP winners are not ‘forgotten’ Knowledge Sharing Forum What works at scale?
