This project aimed to find innovative solutions for pertinent sanitation issues across the value chain during the planning, design, implementation and monitoring process. The work covered conducting pilot studies in various project towns, capturing information for replicable sanitation models, exploring possibility of engaging private service providers, developing conducive institutional framework and undertaking capacity building programmes.
We were assisting ADB in providing Capacity Building Support for Innovative Sanitation Solutions in Rajasthan. This programme was conceived to include a grant component contributed by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, channeled through the RUSDP’s existing framework to put focus on non-sewer areas, which lack a centralised sewerage system due to financial or technical unviability.
