Role of Center for Water and Sanitation in Supporting the Journey of Sinnar for Safe Sanitation

January 2021

CWAS has been supporting Sinnar Municipal Council in its journey towards safe sanitation since 2013. CWAS supported SMC in demonstrating a successful model for increasing sanitation coverage through a scheme to make the city ODF much before Swachh Bharat Mission and also helped in putting mechanisms in place for faecal sludge and septage management for achieving ODF++. Though extensive documentation has been undertaken for each of the programmes stages and interventions, this paper specifically focuses on the approach used in these interventions and has been prepared based on review of various reports and outputs prepared by CWAS as well as feedback from relevant stakeholders. It describes how CWAS acted as an enabler for the SMC for gaining and sustaining sanitation outcomes, and demonstrating interventions that could be adopted by other cities, states, and countries across the globe.
