| Summary: | Following the launch of the National
Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP, 2008), a number of
initiatives were taken: states formulated their State
Sanitation Strategies, and more than 150 cities drafted or
are in the process of drafting the City Sanitation Plans
(CSPs, by March 2014). The NUSP recommended development of
special strategies for slums and poor settlements as an
integral part of the CSPs. But the significant presence of
slums in Indian cities (estimated between 9 and 14 million,
or 12 to 16 percent of India’s 79 million urban households),
and the specific difficulties that these settlements face in
accessing basic sanitation (and other) services, demanded a
greater understanding of the conditions, and exploration of
strategies used to address these. Section one presents a
short introduction to the context of urban India and urban
sanitation, followed by a brief review of programmatic
responses by GoI to improve slum sanitation services.
Thereafter, the guide draws out the critical factors or
drivers using examples from successful community slum
sanitation initiatives reported from the urban centers
selected for this study. A set of generic activity clusters
and steps are included at the end the preparatory, planning,
implementation, and M&E stages of community sanitation initiatives. |
