The United Nations (UN) Urbanization
Prospects report (2009) indicated that the world will become
predominantly urban in a few years. The increasing interest
in urban affairs (policy and praxis), the renewal mission
and the shift in global economic growth towards China and
India fueled increased interest in urbanization, services
and investment needs. Following the history of various
committees or institutions mandated (Rakesh Mohan Committee,
1996; HUDCO, 2000) to estimate aggregate levels of total
annual investment requirements for urban infrastructure, the
High Powered Expert Committee (HPEC) was tasked (2008) by
the Planning Commission to estimate the demand for urban
infrastructural services, along with other issues relevant
to the conceptualization and management of these. Onsite
sanitation systems are usually invested in by households and
maintained by them through access to market service
providers (for example, masons, septage collectors, and so
on). Apart from state-assisted capital investments (like in
the Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme for the poor
households), these capital investments are mostly private
and from households. In the coming years, without the urban
household sanitation structure will continue to exhibit a
mix of different sanitation technologies and arrangements,
onsite, sewered, shared/community/public and household
ownership. The composition could show variation depending on
the incentives provided at the city level through
programmatic interventions using behavior change and
market-linked approaches. The objective of this study was to
review and refine earlier work on financing needs of the
urban sanitation sector and, based thereon, project
investment requirements for addressing the full cycle of
sanitation in urban areas, that is, providing universal
access (for resident households and floating populations),
and for safe collection, conveyance and treatment of human excreta. |
