| Summary: | This guidance note is one in a series of
knowledge products designed to showcase project findings,
assessments, and lessons learned in the global scaling up
Rural Sanitation project. This paper is conceived as a work
in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about
development issues. In India, the concept of Open-Defecation
Free (ODF) communities, as an objective, has been a part of
the guidelines of the national rural sanitation program, the
Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), since 1999. However, a
major thrust was received with the introduction of
national-level reward programs such as the Nirmal Gram
Puraskar (NGP) and state-level reward programs by a few
states such as Maharashtra. Global scaling up rural
sanitation is a Water and sanitation program (WSP) project
focused on learning how to combine the approaches of
Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), behavior change
communications, and social marketing of sanitation to
generate sanitation demand and strengthen the supply of
sanitation products and services at scale, leading to
improved health for people in rural areas. It is a
large-scale effort to meet the basic sanitation needs of the
rural poor who do not currently have access to safe and
hygienic sanitation. The project is being implemented by
local and national governments with technical support from WSP. |
