Operation and Maintenance Opportunities in Rural Community Sanitary Complexes

Project ongoing since: 2020 • SuSanA India Chapter

Purpose

Thematic discussion on how best to improve the O&M of community sanitary complexes in rural India

Activities

Under Swachh Bharat Mission Phase II, the Ministry of Jal Shakti is prioritising the construction of Community Sanitary Complexes (CSCs) in rural areas to ensure every household, especially from marginalised communities, have sanitation facilities. However, experiences under earlier sanitation campaigns have showed that the demand and usage of CSCs is poor. There are multiple studies to support this as well. Therefore, for it to succeed this time, it is critical to first understand the barriers and enablers in the different contexts, and build on good practices, experiences and lessons learned.
