| Summary: | The Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) of
the Government of India has been in operation for over a
decade (1999 to date). This report analyses primary and
secondary data on the TSC to arrive at an understanding of
the processes, outputs and outcomes at a national level and
across the states; this is compared with the inputs which
have gone into the program. These indicators are then
compared individually and in combination to benchmark the
states, to understand the relative performance of the
states. This benchmarking, based on a combination of eight
indicators, is undertaken for both states and districts
across the country. The purpose of this report is to
synthesis the wealth of information available through
secondary sources such as the TSC and Nirmal Gram Puraskar
(NGP) online monitoring systems and primary surveys of
select districts at different points on the performance
curve, to understand the processes by which the national TSC
guidelines are implemented at state and district levels and
how these contribute to the outcomes achieved. The analysis
will focus on the successes and challenges faced in
implementing the TSC and NGP, identify gaps and lessons
learnt, and recommend programmatic approaches through which
these can be addressed. The audience for this report
includes policy-makers and implementers at national, state
and district levels, and the broader sanitation and hygiene community. |
