Policy and Programmes
State-wide scaling up for implementation of safely managed sanitation services requires effective policy guidelines and a regulatory enabling environment. CWAS has worked with the state government in making urban Maharashtra ODF, sustaining ODF and moving towards ODF+ and ODF++. The policy guidelines have been institutionalised in the state through various government resolutions. CWAS team has supported local governments through capacity-building workshops and providing technical assistance for implementation.
