Background

Having access to safe water and improved sanitation facilities though being a primary

requirement of an individual, many a times is not available, thus leading to health issues, which

at times also prove to be fatal. A direct relation between water, sanitation and health has proven

that absence of either safe water or good sanitation causes many diseases in developing

countries. With this objective, Government initiated the Central Rural Sanitation Program in

1986. Catering to the changing need and demand at the grassroots, the program was

rejuvenated and rechristened many a times with various names like “Total Sanitation

Campaign”, ‘Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan’ and the latest being ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ launched on

2nd October 2014 to accelerate the efforts for universalisation of sanitation coverage to achieve

Swachh Bharat by 2019 to coincide with the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The

aim of the Mission is to promote cleanliness, hygiene and eliminate open defecation to bring a

general improvement in the quality of life in rural area. The approach of the Mission will be to

motivate communities and Panchayat Institutions to adopt sustainable sanitation practices;

encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainable

sanitation; and develop community managed sanitation systems that are based on scientific

Solid and Liquid Waste Management systems.

The State Government has adopted the approach of behavior change amongst the community,

understanding the fact that though physical coverage of toilets at household level is an

important monitoring indicator towards achieving open defecation free status, sustaining the

community behavior to adopt and use toilet is also required.

Coverage of rural sanitation in Census 2011

As per census 2011, sanitation coverage in rural India has reached 32.70% compare to Madhya

Pradesh has reached 12.20% taking into consideration the increased population. Census 2011

has reported an increase in 30 lakhs households in rural areas of Madhya Pradesh as compared

to census 2001. As per NSSO Report of 2008-09, 14.70 % rural households used toilets in the

State. As per Online Reporting Data from Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation 51.30% of the

total project objectives identified have been achieved during census were taken place.

Compare to Census 2001 with 2011, Madhya Pradesh has improved sanitation status by 3.30%

(improvement percentage is 37.08%) whereas India has improved by 10.78% (improvement

percentage is 49%). After Census 2001, Madhya Pradesh has conducted Baseline Survey to

implement Total Sanitation Campaign in rural areas of all the districts. During Survey Sanitation

coverage was 9.61%. Madhya Pradesh has invested 52.64% of IHHL fund to achieve 90%

household having no sanitation facilities in their home, but only 12.20% household found

improved sanitation facilities as per the outcome of Census 2011.

At Global level, India has been found to be on a back foot considering the fact as on date more

than 60% of the global population alone defecating in open are in India. In Madhya Pradesh,

against the total HH of 81.24 lakhs of census 2001, there was coverage of 8.94% HH in the State.

With an increase of 50.6% HH in a decade, Census 2011 confirmed that more than 75% of

household in rural area of Madhya Pradesh defecate in open, contributing to approximately 8%

of the total open defecation by community across India.

Baseline Status 2012: Madhya Pradesh

A baseline survey conducted under rural sanitation in the State during 2003 and latest on 2012.

Sanitation coverage was 9% in the year 2003 is increased by 16% during 2012. As per BLS-

2012 findings, total 1.39 crores rural household surveyed, out of total surveyed household

details of 1.15 crores HH uploaded in the GoI MIS with unique SAMAGRA1 family identity. As per

the survey, 24 lakhs household are having sanitation facilities whereas 90.39 lakh households

are still defecating in the open. As per SBM norms, 74 lakhs households are eligible for taking

benefit of incentives including 42 lakhs (46%) BPL households and 32 lakhs (36%) APL

households out of total targets families as per BLS-2012. Total 16.34 lakhs (17%) families out of

total 90.39 lakhs targets families are not eligible for the incentives from SBM(G) fund.

Post BLS 2012-13, Madhya Pradesh has constructed more than 10 lakhs toilets from last two

year till March 2015. Balance target from 1st April 2015 of the State is 80 lakhs.

1 The State developed an online portal – SAMAGRA has a huge database of individual and families provided unique identity of 8 and 9 digits. The primary objective of this database is to have an integrated platform of individuals and families on SAMAGRA. Families residing in the rural areas having Unique ID got physical verified on improved sanitation facilities i.e. families having / not having toilet facilities. Main objective to establishing this database is to provide transparency in providing incentive and restrict duplication of a family being given an additional toilet under SBM(G).

Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen), Madhya Pradesh is more focus on to planning for

making open defecation free panchayat as unit through generating demand within the

community and subsequently facilitate beneficiary for toilet constructing while providing

technical and financial support onsite. As such Madhya Pradesh has targeted to achieve Swachh

Madhya Pradesh by the end of 2018-19.

Similarly, balance targets of family toilets of Rajpur block of Barwani district is 30785 to achieve

ODF status by 2019 required total allocation of Rs. 3990 lakhs including Rs. 3694 lakhs for

constructing family toilets @ Rs. 12000/IHHL, Rs. 184 lakhs for IEC activities, Rs. 37 lakhs for

Background

As per census 2011, sanitation coverage in rural India has reached 32.70% compare to Madhya

Pradesh has reached 12.20% taking into consideration the increased population. Census 2011 has

reported an increase in 30 lakhs households in rural areas of Madhya Pradesh as compared to

census 2001. As per NSSO Report of 2008-09, 14.70 % rural households used toilets in the State. As

per Online Reporting Data from Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation 51.30% of the total project

objectives identified have been achieved during census were taken place.

Since then state are continually taken up several interventions to accelerate coverage and usage of

facility. In the recent scoping studies shows that most of the Rural Sanitary Marts (300+) are found

to be dysfunctional due to various reasons. DFID scoping study 2011 indicated that leaving rural pan

other sanitation material are easily available within the vicinity of 2 to 10 kms. Masons are available

in abundance. But majority of them are moving to nearest town and cities for better payment. As a

result GPs are forced to engage semi killed masons leading to poor quality of construction. WSP

study on “Situation assessment of supply market behaviour / pattern on rural sanitation in Madhya

Pradesh 2007” indicated that the sanitation supply market in the state is well established but

majority of their business is with the government rather than individual households. Retailers supply

most of the construction materials to the government, while masons are contracted and paid for

directly also by the government. As the government is highly involved in the supply of sanitation

facilities using subsidy, households are reluctant to build their own latrine or even make any

innovative modifications. UNICEF study on “Situation Analysis and Gaps in Present Supply Chain” in

Madhya Pradesh 2012 indicated that masons have good skills in building construction work but lack

similar skills in the construction of leach-pit type toilets. They are not trained adequately on

construction of leach pit type IHHLs, school and anganvadi toilets, etc. The experience in different

part of the country suggests that the response to the TSC is slow due to the prevailing passive

attitude towards the supply.

Key gaps and challenges:

The campaign remains construction focused instead of community driven approach.

Weaken supply chain and service delivery mechanism for the community up-to village level

Lack of trained masons at local level to meet the demand on mass level.

Lack of technological options as per the interest of user and geographically suitable.

The lack of capacity within PRIs to develop village level plan and facilitation of various processes

of pre/during/post implementation for achieving ODF status in sustainable manner.

No mechanism developed for loaning for making sanitation facilities through micro credit is exist

to functional dysfunctional toilets, toilets for non eligible and eligible poor families (for

promoting post incentives) after motivation.

No penal provision in Panchayati Raj Act to stop open defecators even after having toilets.

Non availability of trained human resources for motivational, communication, monitoring, and

reporting etc activities related to sanitation at villages level.

Lack of appropriate commitment amongst progam implementing agencies.


Lack of effective institutional structure at gram panchayat level for sustaining, operating and

maintain various activities related for providing improved sanitary environment at village level.

Lack of field level worker involved in SBM(G).

WASH-N-Enterprise - Concept and solution

WASH-Plus or Inclusive WASH Marketing is an emerging field that applies social and commercial

marketing approach to scale up the supply and demand for improved water, sanitation and hygiene

facilities. Added to it the vital component of nutrition, the concept becomes that of ‘Holistic

Healthcare’ for the targeted groups living in rural & backward regions of our country.

WASH-N-Enterprise is a new solution contributing towards total inclusive sanitation while creating opportunity of the livelihoods at the grass root. Wash-N-Enterprise is the epicenter of the program which is conceptualized as an integrated unit to deal & address all the components of WASH value chain. Through this, the project intends to pilot basket of innovations in an integrated manner It will develop business oriented, community centered and sustainable solution for Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Nutrition (WASH-N). It is envisaged to be a complete package which includes systematic demand generation, planning, quality construction, backward and forward linkages of services and supply. The aspects of WASH governance, convergence and strengthening institutions will be taken up in a coordinated manner. It will create opportunities for livelihoods and public private community partnership (PPCP). WASH-N- ENTERPRISE is a three tier solution, (i) central unit at the state (ii) enterprise based at block level or a cluster of GPs and (iii) field network of WASH promoters and Masons at grass root / village level. At the block level, unit work with four wings (Pan in the van-a mobile unit, WASH-N-store, O&M / technical wing and Single window system / Helpline with specified roles. The block unit will be linked to the Network of WASH promoters based at grassroots /village and act as interface between community and the unit. This model will also be demonstrating the strategy to attain the block level open defecation free society.

Partnerships

In addition to central and state government funding, donors and bilateral agencies are parallely

engaged within the state to strengthen the program activities. As a part of health reforms agenda,

DFID India through Government of Madhya Pradesh and MP Technical Assistance Support Team

(MPTAST) is extending support to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector from 2012-13. As a

part of system strengthening in Madhya Pradesh, DFID engaged Energy Environment and

Development society (EEDS), Bhopal to pilot Innovative practices contributing to Madhya Pradesh

achieving Swachh Status.


As per of the agreement, State Water Sanitation Mission (SWSM), Swchh Bharat Abhiyan, Government of Madhya Pradesh and Zila Panchayats of 3 districts signed a MoU with EEDS for joint implementation of WASH-N-Enterprise approach for attaining block ODF. This innovation is supported by DFID.

Goals and Objective

Develop and demonstrate innovative WASH solution- WASH-N—Enterprise.

Systems strengthening at implementation level of present WASH delivery system to achieve State’s vision of Swach Madhya Pradesh.

Location and Coverage

District (1) Sagar block Raheli , (2) Vidisha Block Gyaraspur and (3) Badwani Block Rajpur - 3 districts

of Madhya Pradesh with focus on one block in each having intensive engagement with local

government and community. The remaining blocks in the districts will be covered using various

dissemination strategies for scaling up interventions. Thus the entire district will witness innovative

solutions of WASH-N and system strengthening by way of creating enabling environment, cross

learning, exposure, capacity building and replication.
