Innovative Governance Reform Programme in cities of Delhi, Jaipur and Kolkata

2015 - 2018 • CFAR (Centre for Advocacy and Research)

Purpose

Strengthening community engagement in the poorer settlements to improve the quality of sanitation facilities and services through purposeful convergence of policy, program and innovations

Activities

The second phase of the work was initiated since November 2015 and in this phase we aim to:
Expand to two towns in Tamil Nadu as well as intensify the work in Delhi, Jaipur and Kolkata, increasing its outreach to 108 settlements.
Intensify our focus on menstrual hygiene management in the expanded areas.
CFAR is piloting the concept of ‘positive deviance,’ that entails leveraging existing healthy sanitation and hygiene practices within a community, to transfer them to others. Over the next three years, we plan to make positive deviance a core element of the behavior change interventions we are undertaking

Countries of activity

Location of main activity

Objectives

To advance the above thrust, we aim to strengthen our work by focusing on three domains. They are:

1) The program domain that is shaping many transformative processes with sanitation both as a core and cross-cutting issue
2) The user or community domain, especially in highly inchoate and socially fragmented settlements and spaces, where through the Women Forums we will advocate for greater convergence and coordination between diverse institutions and constituents. This would lead to unified response starting from household practices to facilitating behaviour change and resolving larger issues and concerns of unauthorized areas, slums and clusters within it
3) The media domain to stimulate broad but consistent engagement with the support of Women's Forum and placing community voices at the centre of it in order to highlighting the importance of community engagement and enabling their aspirations to be shared and strengthen transparency and accountability.
