| Summary: | Global scaling up rural sanitation is a
Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) project currently being
implemented in India, Indonesia, and Tanzania. Working with
local governments and the private sector in 29 districts of
East Java province in Indonesia, WSP's approach
combines generating demand from local governments prior to
initiating project interventions and demand from consumers
for improved sanitation facilities and behaviors prior to
making a greater range of sanitation products and services
available through local markets. This demand responsive
approach combines Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS),
behavior change communication, and sanitation marketing
approaches to help villages become open defecation free
(ODF). At the end of the third year of project
implementation, household access to sanitation is growing at
rates hitherto never seen in rural sanitation projects in
Indonesia. On average, one-third of all triggered
communities have become ODF within a year. However, across
districts, varying levels of progress have been achieved
depending on the extent of political support garnered,
implementation capacity developed, and the
cost-effectiveness of interventions undertaken. However,
during 2009 the project team observed that while monitoring
data was being generated regularly in the communities, much
of this data was not reaching sub-district, district, or
higher levels for regular consolidation. With the number of
triggered communities running into the thousands in East
Java, it had become too labor and time intensive for
government outreach staff to collect data manually from each
triggered community on a monthly basis. In response to this
challenge, a community-based participatory outcome
monitoring system was developed. |
