It is my pleasure to present to you the first issue of ‘SANITATION GATEWAY’ for 2011-12. 2010-2011 has been an eventful year for us. Following a restructuring exercise at Feedback Ventures (now known as Feedback Infrastructure Services Ltd), a new subsidiary by the name of Feedback Foundation was formed in May 2010, with the mandate of managing / delivering projects related to community engagement. The knowledge base, resources, manpower and experience of Feedback Foundation has been drawn from the erstwhile Capacity Building Division of FVL. In its first year of existence, Feedback Foundation has notched up several notable achievements, and established its firm presence in both the urban and rural sanitation space across various states in India. While previously, our involvement was predominantly through capacity building

In this issue, we share with you our learning and experiences in the implementation of sustainable behavior change approaches on the field, using the “7M” approach. We hope to make this newsletter an intellectual forum for exchange of ideas, and work together for a “Nirmal Bharat”. I would therefore urge our readers to share with us their thoughts, inputs and experiences with communities, which can help improve the lives of those we aim to serve.

Construction of toilets is complete in Toota Mohra village. The GP has decided to take up construction work in one village at a time to ease the process of management at the GP level. Another distinctive feature of this village is the funding pattern for the toilets for the APL households. While funds for BPL toilets were obtained from government TSC funds, the funds for APL household toilets were obtained from a nearby mining company (Mahavir Mines) as a part of its CSR activity. The village community mobilized the miners and obtained the funds from them.

This is the story of Bagchema village of Dasmantpur, with 32 households, all of whom belong to the Mudli and Jani tribes and more than 90% BPL households. Following a severe outbreak of cholera in Dasmantpur block in Orissa, Feedback was engaged to make the communities ODF. The village was triggered by the team in November 2010, and the ignited community pledged to stop open defecation immediately.

Goddess Idhana Mata, is a revered goddess in village Devda Talab in Maithudi GP of Udaipur district in Rajasthan. During a triggering exercise, when the entire community was already ignited and the natural leaders had emerged, the natural leaders requested the community to swear by their kul devi, that they would no more defecate in the open.. When the team went to the same village the next day for follow-up, no faeces was found to be lying in the open. The community had promised their kul devi and felt bound to keep it. Thus emerged a new community-based trigger tool, ‘swearing by the local god’. Two other trigger tools also emerged in Udaipur: aan, baan shaan (pride and status of the community) and pagri ki laaj (shame of the turban), turban being a symbol of pride and status of the Rajasthani community.

By next day, the Nigrani committee could stop 50% of the community members from defecating in the open. The excited Sarpanch, provided whistles to all the natural leaders. The entire village was assembled to decide how to involve and motivate the remaining 50% of the village. It was decided to have early morning follow-ups at 3 AM, to prevent even the elderly early-risers in the village from defecating in the open. Within 6 days of this, the entire village had stopped open defecation, and in the next 10 days, all the villagers constructed their own no-cost leach pit toilets, without any external support. Since the natural leaders had already demonstrated how to build the no-cost toilet with good superstructure, it served as a model for others to follow suit. There was a ceremonious ‘launch’ of the new toilets with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, where all villagers promised to stop their pig-like existence and start a civilized, human existence. ‘Nigrani committees’ persisted with the early morning follow-ups for one month continuously afterwards, armed with their whistles. As per Kurmo Jain, a natural leader, there has been no diarrhoea cases reported in Dasmantpur GP this year. Baghchema has created a wave of enthusiasm, which have spread out to neighboring GPs too, thus showcasing the power of CLTS, irrespective of any socio-economic structure of the community.

The proud Sarpanch of Ghated GP in Salumber block of Udaipur narrated the wonderful change that has occurred in his village. After one cluster was triggered and the community got ignited, they created pressure on the other clusters to become ODF too. Each village acted as an independent unit where they used their own village masons to construct the toilets, their tractors to bring material from the markets and the community themselves worked as laborers.

Ten natural leaders emerged from among the villagers on the first day, declaring that they would stop every community member from going to the open. Two teams (‘nigrani committees’) were formed, to monitor the two main defecation sites. The newly married youths also wanted to know how to safeguard their women-folks’ esteem and self-respect. The excited natural leaders came forward spontaneously to dig leach pits and line it with clay, in only three and a half hours, helped enthusiastically by their friends.

“The Nanded Waghala City Municipal Corporation (NWCMC) has a vision of making the city of Nanded totally sanitized, healthy and livable by 2012. Accordingly, NWCMC has embarked on a multi-phased initiative to develop and implement a City Sanitation Plan for the city of Nanded. Feedback Foundation has been one of our active partners in this ambitious journey since February 2011.

Phase 1 of our initiative involved the formulation of the City Sanitation Plan for NWCMC, with Feedback Foundation as one of the resource agencies entrusted with the responsibility of formulating the City Sanitation Plan for two designated ‘prabhags’ of Nanded. The CSP has now been formulated and awaiting approval from Govt of India. In line with the participatory approach to CSP formulation advocated in the National Urban Sanitation Policy guidelines, Feedback Foundation has ‘triggered’ various slum communities in Prabhags 1 and 3, using the Citizen Led Total Sanitation Approach, with heartening levels of success. Through Feedback’s facilitation, many of these communities have become Open Defecation Free (ODF) within a few days. Phase 2 involves implementation of the City Sanitation Plan. Feedback’s mandate in this phase is to implement on the ground the ‘soft’ components of the CSP in their designated ‘prabhags’ with respect to IEC, capacity building, awareness building and behavior change, through the vehicle of community mobilization and public participation. Improved solid wastes and sewerage practices are being observed in target communities. About 60 natural leaders across 20 wards/clusters have been mobilized to form Nigrani Committees for community action. Feedback has also triggered 65 localities including slums, market areas, posh areas, BSUP communities, school, anganwadi and institutions. In the coming four months, 50 more communities are expected to be triggered, and natural leaders nurtured as ‘sanitation commandos’.

In case the ghanta gadi does not come, the households call NWCMC to enquire about the reasons for the absence. The big drain passing along the ward has been cleaned too by the community.
