Tamil Nadu Urban Sanitation Support Programme, Phase 1 - 2015-2017

2015 - 2017 • Indian Institute for Human Settlements (iihs)

Purpose

To provide public health benefits and city-wide sanitation improvements for urban populations in Tamil Nadu by demonstrating innovations in two model urban locations

Activities

The programme aims to provide public health benefits and city-wide sanitation improvements for urban populations in Tamil Nadu by demonstrating innovations in two model urban locations.

Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) is working with and supporting the Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) in the implementation urban sanitation, including inclusive sanitation and Fecal Sludge Management (FSM) across the State through the Tamil Nadu Urban Sanitation Support Programme (TNUSSP). Launched with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), TNUSSP has been set up as a technical support unit (TSU) within GoTN’s Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MAWS) department.

TNUSSP aims to achieve improvements to sanitation service delivery in Tamil Nadu by demonstrating innovations in two urban areas – Tiruchirappalli city and town panchayats of Periyanaicken-Palayam (PNP) and Narasimhanaicken-Palayam (NNP) near Coimbatore – to build credibility and momentum prior to scaling up across the State.

Advisory and Working Group Committees at State and City levels work to accelerate implementation / development of
• State Investment Plan
• Fecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) at a Town Panchayat to demonstrate mechanical systems
• Technical assistance workshops and exposure visits
• Capacity building initiatives & training programmes
• Conferences/Workshops
• Technical Reports
• Policy papers
• Policy briefs
• Multimedia outputs (Films, Audio clips etc)
• Posters

An Advisory Committee in MAWS Department guides the TSU, that works closely with State Agencies, ULBs, private enterprise and communities, to enable considerable experimentation on ground and testing of innovations especially in two model cities, while assisting State-level scaling up.

The IIHS provides advisory services to national and state governments, public, parastatal municipal agencies, international agencies and private firms in the broad area of human settlements and urbanisation, with a view to providing cutting edge and integrated solutions to some of India's emerging urban development challenges. It also serves on a number of national and state level government committees and policy fora. These engagements have considerably influenced policy process and implementation in sectors like water and sanitation, housing, climate change and land records, among others. Current IIHS practice on the environmental services focuses on a range of issues such as water supply, sanitation and integrated basic environmental services. Practitioners have also been exploring notions of common property and shared natural resources, environmental governance, issues of water supply and management, and the provision of water and sanitation services to urban populations, especially the urban poor. Projects have also included the evaluations of national and state programmes and policies from a sustainability perspective, as well as large scale implementation support partnerships. This area of practice is directly aligned with the School of Urban Systems and Infrastructure, and the School of Human Development.
