As stated in the Plan of Operation, the long-term objective of the Socio-Economic Programme is to improve the health andliving standards of the people. The immediate objectives of the project, specifically are, in partnership with the KWA, to:

a. integrate relevant socio-economic activities and methods into the KWA's current programme for water supply -activities are: improving population coverage, site selection in the community, monitoring /maintenance/drainage around standpo.it, fault reporting;

f

b. develop sustainable strategies which will, within the community and household - contribute to improvedhygiene/health practices related to safe handling and use of water, enhance sanitation practices and essentialsanitary facilities including household and institutional latrines-with-education, environmental activities of localrelevance;

c. strengthen/establish mechanisms which enable people and their local institutions to plan and participate inactivities related to water supply, sanitation and hygiene education. Particular emphasis will be paid to women'sinvolvement. Ward Water Committees, Standpost Attendants, networking with other agencies/NGOs, improvingopen wells and springs, monitoring activities, school health clubs, women's programmes are part of iJiis.

The Socio-Economic Units, Kerala, each with three professionals, and supporting administrative staff. And the temporaryfield workers have been working for the past eight years. Three regional units, each based in a regional office of the KWAhave been working in KWA premises. The first Unit (calledSEU-North) was established with Danish support in the northernregion of Kerala in March 1987. The other units (SEU-South and SEU-Central) were set up about a year and a half later inAugust 1988 with Dutch support. The Co-ordinating Office (CO) in Trivandrum is also concerned with institutional aspectsof the programme, co-ordination and integration. The Socio-Economic Units (SEUs) are directly funded by the donors, andwork closely with the Kerala Water Authority, Directorate ofpanchayats. Department of Rural Development, Department ofLocal A dministration and the State Planning Board. AI present, each Unit covers a project area with a current population of400,000 to 600,000. A Co-ordinating Committee headed by the Managing Director of the KWA meets every 3 to 4 months.The Committee oversees project development (both hardware and .software) and solves problems related to both software andhardware implementation. Keeping in view the demand for involved intervention oj a team with commitment to community intlie sector, SEU has registered as an autonomous Institution.

HALF YEAR REPORT(1 October 1995 to 31 March 1996)

Executive Summary

After the Panchayati-raj elections it took much more time than anticipated in stabilising theinvolvement of newly elected members as the Water Committees, The training of new electedmembers and refresher training for the other WWC members and SPAs were carried out in manypanchahayts. The water related activities are minimised due to the phasing out of SEU personnelfrom the schemes. The fault reporting and monitoring activities are continued by the SPAs,WWCs and the Core groups. However, in areas where no chances of improving the service levelit has been decided to suspend the community initiatives.

In the Danida supported schemes activities were regularised with the help of Water Committeemembers. SEU is in the process of final assessment and reporting of the facilities constructed.The fault reporting, tap monitoring and related activities were entrusted to WWCs. This activityhas been stopped in Edappal and Cheekode schemes. In Kolacherry the tap monitoring isscheduled to take place until May 1996.

The Edappal Scheme was inaugurated by the Hon. Minister for Water Supply and Irrigation,Government of Kerala on 16th of March 1996. The commissioning of Kolacherry scheme wasscheduled to inaugurate on 23rd March 1996 but had to be postponed due to the declaration ofgeneral election dates.

The SEU Central and South are in the process of working out the details of phasing out activitieswith the help of Water Committees and Core Groups. It has been realised that the good resultsof the community initiatives could be operationalised or put into practice meaningfully only if theSection Level Committees are strengthened.

The completion of the scheme is another joint activity which has been carried out by KWA, SEUand WWCs. The community, their representatives and grama panchayts are quite enthusiasticand interested in participating in the completion process exercise.

In the sanitation sector, substantial improvement has been made in all the panchahayts. Sincethe inception of the programme 44,650 household latrines were completed. One innovativedevelopment during the reporting period was that the stakeholders were asked to contribute thesand and bricks. Suggestion came from the community that they will be able to provide the sandand bricks for construction. While registering the name for latrines the stakeholders were askedto indicate their interest and willingness to provide the sand and bricks. This change in theprogramme reduces the hassle of negotiation with contractors; bringing down the efforts ofsupervision from supervisors and ward committees; creating confidence among the householdersand increased user satisfaction etc.. This also further helps the organisation in minimising thelogistics and supervision. Some time back similar approach was followed in Nannanmmukku andAlancode panchayats (under Edappal water schemes) and it took much more time than thenormal penod. However, in the present 12 panchayats this approach has been popularised andfound to be effective and more families are coming forward with this proposition. Theconstruction will resume only after 75% of the selected households assemble the materials forthe latrine. Eventhough, there are some set backs this will be a good option or proposition forlarge scale sanitation programmes.

A team of SEU staff members were involved in a qualitative research project; the KeralaHygiene Evaluation Study (KHES). The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine(LSH&TM) is developing a handbook on Hygiene Evaluation Procedures, The draft handbookwas field tested in SEU project areas; Afghanistan being another country where there was asimilar field testing conducted. Dr.Astier Almedom, Lecturer in Medical Anthropology, from theEnvironmental Health Group of the LSH&TM visited Kerala to train the Study Team in HygieneEvaluation Procedures.

The Community Participation Unit (CPU), Rajasthan, a German-funded water and sanitationproject, has been requesting SEU to train their staff in Participatory techniques for CommunityParticipation. After a few rounds of discussions and a needs-assessment visit by some of thestaff members of SEU, and preparation of a training module, a team of three SEU staff membersconducted the training at Rajasthan on February 14th- 24th, 1996. The training was conductedas a workshop on Participatory Training Techniques for Community Participation. The topicsdealt in the training were creative and resource exploration, Team building and inter-personalperceptions for community participation, women's participation and gender issue sensitisation,Integration of hardware & software activities, Hygiene education & capacity building and Fieldpractice & preparation. SEU is in the process of revising the content of the training whileincorporating relevant field realities. It is the intention of the project to offer this training to thepersonnel wonting with the community in thewater, sanitation, social welfare and health sector.

To support the capacity development of SEU foundation and to improve knowledge of 10members of the SEU Foundation on various aspects of project development, ETC Internationalfacilitated a three-day workshop at Thvandrum on February 6-8, 1996. The workshop was alsopart of the capacity development of the SEU Foundation which ended up with action plans forthe near future.

District level taksforce and working group were established. Similarly the "Concentration Blocks"were identified in three districts, viz, Palghat, Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram. ThreeDistrict Coordinators were provided from the SEU to coordinate community level investigationand liaise with the District Taskforce. Five types of community level investigation are planned:(a) Household survey: to gather information on the use of existing water supply andenvironmental sanitation facilities, use and the conditions together with the health status of thefamilies from the concentration blocks. The objective is to establish a factual planning base fromwhich to determine/confirm sector development requirements for each concentration blocks. Aquestionnaire has been developed which composed of interviews and observations. It isexpected that the household data collection will be completed by end May 1996.

The other investigations are Environmental sanitation status~ a baseline description of existingconditions identifying the nature, description and locations of specific problems and existingmanagement procedures and facilities.

The Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM), New Delhi developed anInformation, Education and Communication strategy to promote the construction, use andmaintenance of water and sanitation facilities through out India. As a preliminary step 65 districtswere identified in India. Out of this 3 districts are from Kerala. As requested by the RuralDevelopment Department, Government of Kerala, SEU Coordinating Office prepared a draftproposal for submitting to the RGNDWM. In this proposal SEU Foundation has been suggestedas the nodal agency and coordinating agency for implementing the IEC activity in the State.Three districts viz, Kollam, Alapuzha and Malappuram has been identified for the IEC project.

School Sanitation/Health Clubs

There are 63 active School Health Clubs in this Scheme. The noteworthy feature hereis that these clubs are functioning on their own without any SEU input. Their action planpreparation, implementation and reviews are all being done by the Schools themselves.Another extremely rewarding information is regarding the efforts taken by the SchoolHealth Clubs in collaboration with local VWVCs in conducting Mother's Camps to promotehygiene in mothers of School children.

The following schools conducted Mother's Camp in the reporting period:

In many schools, Muslim Women's participation (who had never earlier ventured to comeout of their homes for public functions) was highlighted as the most useful outcome of thecamps. The role of WWC's and related departments like field publicity wing for filmshows were other contributing factors.

Monitoring of Latrines

All the household latrines in Edappal Scheme except that of Edappal were monitoredduring this reporting period. Edappal was monitored during the last reporting period.Monitoring in Tavannur is ongoing and will be completed by mid April. Data of threePanchayat viz., Alancode, Vattamkulam, Nannamukku are given in annexure 3.

In Cheekode Scheme, Ramanattukara & Feroke Panchayat were monitored. In Feroke,monitoring is ongoing.

In Kolacherry Scheme, Narath, Kolacherry, Mayyil Keezhallur & Munderi Panchayatswere monitored in the last reporting period. The next monitoring in these panchayats andin Koodali & Kuttyattoor will be done in April-May 1996.

The general data presented is encouraging as far as the functionality, upkeep andmaintenance are concerned. A reasonably high percentage of households have changedthe roof, door and done other repair works in Ramanattukara Panchayat where we hadimplemented the Pilot Sanitation Programme in 1987-89 period.

The usage & maintenance levels are also extremely satisfactory with 7 years of non-intervention in this Panchayat.

NETHERLANDS ASSISTED SCHEMES

SEU (South), Kollam

SEU (South) had already phased out from the Vakkom Anjengo scheme. Withdrawal fromthree other small schemes also effected and these three Panchayats are handled by oneFO. It is realised that the good results of SEUs involvement could only be maintained infuture with an effective implementation and management of Section Level Committeesas recommended in the OMIP workshop in February.

During the reporting period 1617 household latrines completed. In total 12207 householdlatrines 32 institutional latrines/urinals constructed since the inception of the programme.

The Unit also participated in organising the Folk arts workshop in Trivandrum and trainedschool children, WWC and Core group members demonstrated four items.

VAKKOM - ANJENGO SCHEME

The processes and results of VA Mapping exercise has been compiled into a document.All involvement of SEU in this exercise were put into good use, and it was a verysatisfying joint activity.

The trend of under reporting continues as there is no remarkable change in the servicelevel or speed in repairs of defects reported. Core groups and WWCs continue to carryon defect reporting activity but it seems that a monthly meeting of section levelcommittees alone could make a qualitative change from now.

Sanitation Programme with SEU involvement is completed in 4 Panchayats of Vakkom -Anjengo scheme and continuing in other 2 panchayats with a total of 4575 units built.Among these, in Vakkom and Kadakkavoor Joint accounts are also closed. SEUs nowhas only a monitoring role.

Pay & Use latrine of Anjengo function well to the satisfaction of the women. Mr.CarelBrands, First Secretary, (Water Supply & Sanitation), Royal Netherlands Embassy andMs.Christine van Wijk, IRC, Netherlands visited the unit and appreciated both DeepthiMahila Samajom for its efficient management and the women of Anjengo who are usingit properly and regularly making payment. Designed with a Double pit concept its secondpit will be constructed now. This was not originally made for observing the speed ofleaching in the first pit. The idea was to convert it into a septic tank in case the leachingwas slow, but it was found rather fast.

Training of SPAs and hygiene education classes are carried out by the Core group asplanned.

WWCs are participating in the activities of School Health Clubs. Clubs are functioning in26 schools of V-A scheme area. The sanitation - Latrine/Urinals facilities provided inschools are looked after well and used.

Large News Boards depicting the programme (with attainment, style of functioning andcrucial messages) is displayed at focal points in Kizhuvilam, Anjengo, and Koipuram.Panchayats have taken formal resolution for the future maintenance of these.

KUNDARA SCHEME

Completion work at Intake, Pump, Transformer, Transmission Main, Sump and overheadtanks have made some more progress, and it is said that trial run for the original lines bypassing treatment plant ( yet to be completed) could be carried out in April, 1996. SEUsinvolvement in trial run usually become meaningful only when water reaches distributionlines and, as it is not yet known for'sure when this will happen, it is rather difficult to plan.

Sanitation is a major activity in 5 of its 7 Panchayats. Altogether 2325 units were built ofwhich 760 units are constructed during the reporting period. The new approach of peopleproviding brick and sand is successfully going on here. In Ezhukone, the 6th Panchayat,Preparatory work for construction is completed.

The team of women masons who were originally involved in the construction of latrinesin Neduvathoor panchayats has now moved to Perayam Panchayat.

All the elected members of the Kundara scheme have gone through Participatory trainingsession during the reporting period.

A special programme of "Knowing the Maps" ('Completed site selection maps) wereorganised in all the panchayats. AE, KWA and Work Superintendent participated in this.

SHCs are functioning in 25 schools. 12 institutional latrines in schools with 25-30%contribution from respective schools were completed. In the other areas the contributionis normally 50%.

The delay in the completion of water schemes in Kundara is a set back in the sense thatwater related hygiene education activities which should have been gone along with thesanitation can't be taken up on a simultaneous basis,

A programme of completion on cultural items based on the theme of water and sanitationwas successfully conducted for members of SHCs in the scheme.

CHERIYANAD SCHEME

Fault reporting by WWC/CGs and repairs by KWA are done in this panchayat quitesatisfactorily and this is an encouraging exception among all the schemes. Historically,the reason could be attributed partly to the good relation prevailing between thepanchayat body and the KWA office. Partly it is also due to the good quality of the source.The core group who is taking the lead role in reporting and other allied activities are wellrecognised/appreciated by the panchayat.

In sanitation, the panchayat has built the maximum number of latrine among all SEUs,with unit number reaching 2,352. 142 were built during the present reporting period.Sanitation monitoring was carried out as planned under the supervision of core groups.

SPA training /Orientation Hygiene Education activities were carried out as planned.

SHCs are functioning effectively in 5 schools and WWCs are participating in planning ofits activities.

Preparation on 'Standpost Installation Assessment Study1 are already made, which will

be started this week. Simultaneously, a functionality survey also would be carried out bythe WWCs/Core groups.

KOIPURAM SCHEME

708 latrines were constructed so far and 152 units were constructed during the reportingperiod. It should be mentioned that it was in Koipuram that the experiment of collectingbrick/sand for latrines from the stakeholders was first experimented, which was asuccess.

Ongoing SPA orientation meetings, WWC meetings and health promotion activities arecarried out by the core group. Here again the absence of a functioning section levelcommittees is slowly undermining the enthusiasm and effort of WWCs and core groups.

SHCs are functioning in 6 schools, and it was found during the visits that the schoollatrines was first experimented, which was a success.

The facilities provided in the Special Home sanitation programme ( Kitchen platforms,Grinding stone platforms, vessel stand and waste pit) in one of the Koipuram colonies arehighly appreciated by people and this programme has set a total difference in theenvironmental condition of this ward.

Koipuram has been the first panchayat of the region to carry out Standpost Installationassessment study under the leadership of a retired KWA Executive Engineer. SEU,panchayat. WWC and Core Groups were closely associating in this activity. The finalreport of the study will be ready within a week's time. But looking at some of the majorresults, the picture emerging is as follows;

THRIKKUNNAPUZHA SCHEME

Reporting of defects are efficiently carried out in this Panchayat. It should be mentionedthat the consolidation of reporting is systematically carried out by core groups themselveswith copies sent to concerned KWA officers. But like as most schemes, the repairs noware not done within a reasonable time.

Standpost Installation Assessment study will be carried out here in a months time,following Cheriyanad, where it is started. Like in Chenyanad, a functionality study also willbe done along with the assessment study.

1816 units of latrines are completed so far, out of which 248 were completed during thereporting period. Water logged latrines which had been constructed in these panchayatsstill function without any problem. Special trainings were given to Core group members.Health Promotion Programme goes on as planned and these had been carried out bycore groups.

In SEUs collaboration activity with Vincent de-Paul Society, Model latrine is constructedand substantial progress in preparatory activity made for the construction of 100 latrinesin two coastal wards of Eravipuram. The contribution pattern is as follows, whereas inother programmes, the maximum SEU contribution is 40%.

SEU : 49%Vincent de Paul Society : 51%

Coastal Sanitation

1500 household latrines were planned under the coastal sanitation programme. However,due to delay in receiving the funds from the Government the implementation wasdelayed. According to the agreement the financial pattern is as follows: DRDA +Panchayat - 40%; Stakeholders - 20% and the SEU - 40%. The mobilisation programmeand preliminary motivational programme completed in 5 Panchayats. Recently Rs. 27lakhs received (Rs. 11 lakhs from DRDA, Rs. 8 lakhs from Panchayat and Rs. 8 lakhsfrom the Stakeholders. SEU contribution also deposited in to the joint bank account._Theconstruction activity started only in late March 96. A total of 1782 household latrine haveto be constructed within the next three months.

Mararikulam panchayat in Alleppey district is one among the two areas where anexperimental sanitation programme is being tried out under a different strategy. Inaddition to the Health Promotion Team's leadership role, Health Promotion campaign isbeing carried out by the cultural wing with the use of folk art forms like street plays forannouncement of programme and dissemination of health messages. These street playsare followed up by ensuing discussions and classes. Noticing the effectiveness of themedium, district authorities have used the cultural team in spreading messages relatedto the recent outbreak of 'Japan Fever1. The cost-sharing of this unique collaborativeventure in which 500 latrine units have been planned to be built during the year will beas follows:

SEU 500,000Matsyafed 225,000UNICEF 250,000Panchayat 130,000

It may be interesting to note that the District Rural Development Agency has providedfunds for training of masons.

SEU (Central), Thrissur

The completion process activities are jointly planned and implemented by the KWA, SEUand the Water Committees. Preparation of as laid maps, closing down and shifting ofundeserving taps, appraisal study of taps, functionality study are some of the activitiescarried out with community initiatives in the two water supply schemes.

In view of the panchayat election the completion activities were delayed and the projecthas to concentrate on orientation and mobilisation of newly elected members. Fault

reporting is taking place regularly but repairs were not attended satisfactorily due to lackof manpower, spare parts, low voltage etc... It is anticipated that all community relatedactivities will be completed from Mala scheme in June 1996 and Nattika scheme byDecember 1996. The concerned field staff are preparing a phasing out plan in eachpanchayat with the help of water committees.

The payment of water charges in Nattika scheme has improved. Out of 10 Panchayats6 have paid their water charges. Panchayats like Valappad in Nattika scheme andAnnamanada in Mala scheme are regularly making payment and there are no more duesfrom them. However, Panchayats like Mala does not take any interest in making paymentfor standposts. The general perception is that there is a need to reduce the number oftaps through closing down the undeserving taps. 37 taps in Talikulam and 5 taps in S.N.Puram were closed. All the Panchayats are reviewing the situation seriously and they arein the look out for a new perspective on this issue.

4262 latrines have been built during the reporting period in 19 panchayats. Altogether17,217 latrines constructed since the inception of the programme. In collaboration withMatsyafed ( Department of Fisheries) 1051 latrines were constructed and 431 wereconstructed during the reporting period.

SEU staff members were regularly invited by the Local Administration Institute and theRural Development department for handling sessions on water, sanitation and health.More over SEU has been identified by the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA)for popularising the twin pit pour flush latrines in all the 17 blocks in Thrissur district whileconstructing demonstration latrines in each block.

MALA SCHEME

Water related

The community related activities will be completed by June 1996 and SEU together withthe water committees are preparing an action plan for phasing out from 6 panchayatsunder this scheme. The water committees are oriented in such a way that they can takecare of al the responsibilities of the up keep of the water taps and latrines by themselves.Due to its development vision and voluntary nature, the water committees can be ableto assist the panchayat in implementing, managing and monitoring the water, sanitationand other facilities with little back up support.

Fault reporting/monitoring

The SPAs and WWCs are properly oriented in the up keep of the stand postsurroundings, reporting of leak and faults and other allied issues. 62 taps were selectedfor close monitoring, as part of the completion process. These taps were selected by theKWA and SEU based on technical and socio-economic aspects.

Section level meeting

Two section level meetings were conducted as part of the OMIP exercise. Since thesection level meetings are chaired by AEs very little issues can be solved at his level. Itis felt that for improving the section level meetings the AEs and the panchayat levelrepresentatives are to be oriented in handling and managing the issues in an amicable

and systematic manner. Similarly the section has to be given adequate responsibilitiesto handle the local Operation and Maintenance problems.

Health Education/Training related

In Puthenchira panchayat a two day residential training was organised for the newlyelected members of the panchayat and water committees. They have taken a resolutionto officially approve the WWC and entrust all developmental activities with the WWCmembers.

Sanitation related

1246 latrines were constructed during the past six months. In total 7819 latrines wereconstructed in 6 panchayats since the inception of the programme. In one Panchayat thecoverage of latrine was below 60%, in three panchayats the coverage was 87%-96% andin the last panchayat the coverage is 73%. One panchayat already attained 100%coverage and use during the last reporting period. The low coverage in one panchayatis due to the difficulty of panchayat in providing their contribution to the sanitationprogramme.

NATTIKA SCHEME

Water related

Nattika scheme also nearing completion and SPAs and WWCs are equipped to handleall the water related activities. The new design of standposts have been introduced. Ateam consists of KWA Overseer. SEU Field Organiser and WWC Secretary are involvedin the tap appraisal study.

As laid maps were completed in 6 panchayats. Work is under progress in the other fourpanchayats. This will be finalised in consultation with the TLO and KWA. The intentionis to provide a laminated copy of the map to panchayat and WWC.

Fault reporting

The fault reporting exercise is still continuing in all the 10 panchayats. The SPAs, WWCsand Panchayats are fully competent in handling all the aspects related to fault reportingand monitoring if timely repairs are attended by the KWA. As done in Mala critical tapswill be identified for monitoring the situation of service level.

Health Education/Training

Two rounds of training for user groups were organised before and after the installationof new standposts. As part of phasing out, health promotion activities were re-emphasised through ICDS, Mahiia Samajams (Womens Clubs) and Schools.

Sanitation related

2014 latrines constructed during the reporting period. Altogether 7434 household latrinescompleted in 10 Panchayats since the inception of the programme. In terms of sanitationcoverage 2 panchayats have attained 92% coverage 4 panchayats 52% to 74% and 3

PAVARATTY SCHEME

Water related

In Pavaratty scheme water related activities are ongoing in 3 panchayats. There are 273taps and the SPAs are regularly reporting the faults and situation of the standpoststhrough the WWC and Panchayat. The service level is not satisfactory since the currentsupply is through another scheme. In the first phase of Pavaratty scheme there are 10Panchayats and the SEU activities are restricted to only 4 Panchayats for the time being.

Sanitation related

913 household latrines so far completed in three panchayats and 571 latrines wereconstructed during the reporting period. The sanitation programme is slow mainly due tologistical and supervision problems. More over this was compounded due to the delayin panchayat to contribute their share for the programme.

The programme planned for the construction of 2000 latrines in Punnayoor Panchayatwas also not taken up in an effective manner after the Panchayati-raj elections. Similarlythe mass production of construction materials was a failure due to non-availability ofwater, transportation problems and breakages, elected representatives' disinterest afterthe programme is launched. This was a good learning process for the SEU and it alsostressed the need for consistent monitoring of the programme by the senior programmestaff and in handling issues and managerial problems at the right time.

Inter-agency Collaboration

All registered fishermen's houses in Eriyad and Edavilangu Panchayats were providedwith household latrines. 1051 latrines were constructed through this venture. The DistrictCollector, Thrissur had taken steps to expand the programme in all the coastalpanchayats. The preparatory activities in Kadappuram coastal panchayat already startedand the last coastal Panchayat in the district ie., Punnayoorkulam will be taken up in thecoming year.

The District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) requested the help of SEU (Central) todevelop a training package for district and block level functionaries. In addition to the

training of various functionaries, 90 masons also trained. Similarly 18 demonstrationlatrines were constructed at the block offices. The SEU staff members were involved inconducting the training and they also served as resource persons in many other trainingprogrammes, (deatils are given as annexure-4)

Collaboration with the Kerala Community Irrigation Project (KCIP).

SEU (Central) was invited by the KCIP for participating in the workshop on the..,.•. institutionalisation of their water user's association. During this workshop the experience

with the water committees were shared with the KCIP. A state level seminar is alsoproposed for which SEU is considered as one of the potential partners to finalise thestrategy of institutionalisation.

Women Masons visit to Uttar Pradesh

A team of five women masons from the SEU (Central) area were taken on a visit to UttarPradesh and Gujarat to familiarise with the women masons' programme there. The visitwas sponsored by the Women in Development Section, Royal Netherlands Embassy andthe team was led by Ms.Anilakumary, Field Organiser, SEU (Central). It was a goodexposure for them to examine their capability and credibility in implementing similar'programmes in Kerala.

TRAINING IN PARTICIPATORY TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The Community Participation Unit (CPU), Rajasthan, a German-funded water andsanitation project, has been requesting SEU to train their staff in Participatory techniquesfor Community Participation. After a few rounds of discussions and a needs-assessmentvisit by some of the staff members of SEU, and preparation of a training module,complete with a manual outlining course contents, the SEU team comprising of Mrs.O.T.Remadevi, Ms.Thresiamma Mathew and Mr.George Varghese conducted the trainingat Rajasthan on February 14th-24th, 1996. The training was conducted as a workshopon Participatory Training Techniques for Community Participation. The topics dealt in thetraining are creative and resource exploration, Team building and inter-personalperceptions for community participation, women's participation and gender issuesensitisation, Integration of hardware & software activities, Hygiene education & capacitybuilding and Field practice & preparation

SEU is in the process of revising the content of the training while incorporating relevantfield realities, it is the intention of the project to offer this training to the personnel workingwith the community in thewater, sanitation, social welfare and health sector.

LATRINE-WITH-EDUCATION PROGRAMME

The Sanitation programme is currently ongoing in 61 Panchayats (51 project area and 10outside the project area). As of 31 March 1996 44,650 household and 246 Institutionallatrines completed. 16,338 household latrines have been built during the year 1995-96out of which 887 were built with inter-agency collaboration. Construction of householdlatrines since inception thus becomes 44,650 out of which 1643 were built under inter-agency collaboration. Rs. 13,443,880 were contributed by various panchayatsparticipating in the joint sanitation programme and this is a very substantial amount ofmonetary share as compared with funds mobilised from local self government institutions

for a joint programme is concerned.

One innovative development during the reporting period was that the stakeholders wereasked to contribute the sand and bricks. Suggestion came from the community that theywill be able to provide the sand and bricks for construction. While registering the namefor latrines the stakeholders were asked to indicate their interest and willingness toprovide the sand and bricks. This change in the programme reduces the hassle ofnegotiation with contractors; bringing down the efforts of supervision from supervisorsand ward committees; creating confidence among the householders and increased usersatisfaction etc.. This also further helps the organisation in minimising the logistics andsupervision. Some time back similar approach was followed in Nannanmmukku andAlancode panchayats (under Edappal water schemes) and it took much more time thanthe normal period. However, in the present 12 panchayats this approach has beenpopularised and found to be effective and more families are coming forward with thisproposition. The construction will resume only after 75% of the selected householdsassemble the materials for the latrine. Even though, there are some set backs this willbe a good option or proposition for large scale sanitation programmes.

In many Panchayats the cost of latrines have increased due to increase in cost ofconstruction materials. For example the cost of cement varied from Rs160 to Rs168during the months of January-March.

SEU North had planned construction of 8080 household latrines during the period 1995-96 out of which 6892 have been completed. Out of these 6892 latrines, 3388 were builtduring the October-March.

SEU South planned for 3050 household latrines to be constructed this year and they havecompleted their target. 3942 have been constructed during the year 1995-96 and 892latrines out of the 3942 were completion of latrine units from the previous year. Duringthe reporting period; October 95 to March 96, the number of household latrine units were1594.

Number of household latrines planned to be constructed by the SEU Central during theyear 1995-96 were 4500. The target has been achieved. A total of 5436 latrine units havebeen built during the year out of which 4262 were built during October - March. 936latrine units which were in various stages of completion at the beginning of the year werealso completed during the year.

In view of the government's decision in considering SEU as the Nodal agency for IEC itwill be possible to develop suitable implementation packages in each district. Similarlyin the resource mobilisation the experience of SEU is found to be most relevant andappropriate due to the Panchayati-raj institutions.

The monitoring data from the three units demonstrates the effective use of latrines,environmental conditions and other behavioural practices.

The following pages show scheme-wise, panchayat-wise details of latrine construction.

KERALA HYGIENE EVALUATION STUDY

The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSH&TM) is developing ahandbook on Hygiene Evaluation Procedures. The draft handbook was field tested inSEU project areas; Afghanistan being another country where there was a similar fieldtesting conducted. Dr.Astier Almedom, Lecturer in Medical Anthropology, LSH&TM visitedKerala to train a Study Team in Hygiene Evaluation Procedures. The team, comprisingof Ms.K.Anila Kumary, Mr.Francis K.A, Mr.P.Harish Kumar, Mrs.Kochurani Mathew,Mr.Lalachan P.V., Ms.Ussy Paul, Mr.Manilal V., Mr.Manoharan B.,Mr. C.K.Nagesh,Ms.Nisha K., Mrs O.T.Remadevi, Mr.Suresh Babu K.N. and Mrs.Vijayalekshmi AmmalS. The team embarked on an evaluation exercise called the Kerala Hygiene EvaluationStudy.

Kuttyattoor (Kannur district), Puthenchira (Trichur district) and Thrikkunnapuzha(Alappuzha district) were three panchayats selected as study areas and these werepanchayats where SEU had already done some work during the past eight years.

The study team aimed to investigate the existing water and sanitation related hygienepractices in their cultural, social, economic and physical context and to define relevantissues for follow-up action and or further investigation for SEU.

In specific terms, the study focussed on the folowing:

1) on water issues - in locating all existing water sources studying the watercollection, storage and handling practices at the source, in transit and in thehome and also in finding out the reasons for, adopting or not adopting certainhygiene practices and

2) on sanitation (Excreta Disposal) issues, in identifying the existing sanitaryfacilities in studying the ways of disposal of children's stools, hand washing atcritical times and in assuming the functionality, use and upkeep of latrines and in

3) identifying the existing domestic hygienic practices (environmental sanitation)

4) assuming the personal hygiene level, water use habits and environmentalsanitation practices in Schools and Kindergartens.

The Methods and tools used were:Healthwalk to familiarise with the physical context,History line for gathering time related data,Seasonal calendar for collecting seasonal pattern of incidence of diarrhoeal diseasesInformal interviews,Gender tasks and resource analysis - by using pictures depicting local activities forinvestigating the general context in which hygiene practices occur and structuredobservations using observation schedules,Group discussions using participatory tools such as 3 pile sorting cards and PocketCharts and House and School visits were used to investigate the specific clusters ofhygiene practices.

The group discussions though interesting, the participants (village) found it timedemanding. The study team were pressurised with a lot of work from their normal dutyschedule, both preplanned and unavoidable day to day activities. However quite

Page 27: SOCIO-ECONOMIC UNITS, KERALA Socio-Economic Units, Kerala, each with three professionals, and supporting administrative staff. And the temporary ... PANCHAYAT Local Administrative

satisfactory level of participation was achieved.

The main findings were as follows:While ample care is taken by the people in storing water, less care is taken intransportation and handling of water.

Diarrhoeal diseases was reporting from 7.6% of the group (The average as per 1994figure of State Health Services is 20.5%. (205.85 per 1000 persons). Populationexposed to risk of acute diarrhoeal disease is 39 lakhs with the figures only from Govt.Hospitals. In reality it could be much higher if private Hospital records and unreportedcases are also taken. The range is from 5.7% to 12.9% starting from hilly area to coastalarea. This shows that even if facilities are provided, the particular living environmentalproblems as in the coastal region needs special attention and follow up.

There might also have been other reasons to be explored for such a incidence ofdiarrhoea in the coastal areas. Steps should also be taken to curtail the incidence rate,in other parts through continuous participatory and sustainable educational inputs.

The present results throw light on particular afore mentioned issues and we would beconcentrating more on these in our future programmes. The Ward Water Committees,the User Groups and the related department officials would also be briefed accordingly.Required changes would be adopted in the Hygiene Education Strategies and ActionPlans, training sessions and also in resource exchange forums.

General information regarding water sources, water use, latrine use, functionality andupkeep have already been gathered without using the Handbook. The handbook hashelped in gathering more specific clusters of behaviour in a systematic way.

A Peer-review workshop was held at London on April 1-2, 1996 in which persons involvedwith the handbook, water and sanitation projects and the projects where the handbookwas field tested. Mr.P.Hahsh Kumar, Programme Officer, SEU Co-ordinating officeattended this workshop.

SEU Coordinating Office, Trivandrum

Taskforce and Working Group:

As outlined in the inception report for the NAP second programme, district level taksforceand working group were established. Similarly the "Concentration Blocks" were identifiedin three districts, viz, Palghat, Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram. Three DistrictCoordinators were provided from the SEU to coordinate community level investigationand liaise with the District Taskforce. Five types of community level investigation areplanned: (a) Household survey: to gather information on the use of existing water supplyand environmental sanitation facilities, use and the conditions together with the healthstatus of the families from the concentration blocks. The objective is to establish a factualplanning base from which to determine/confirm sector development requirements foreach concentration blocks. A questionnaire has been developed which composed ofinterviews and observations. It is expected that the household data collection will becompleted by end May 1996.

The other investigations are Environmental sanitation status- a baseline description ofexisting conditions identifying the nature, description and locations of specific problems

and existing management procedures and facilities. During the last Taskforce meetingwhich was held on 2nd April 1996 it has been decided that all the reports of theinvestigation work should be ready by September 1996 for enabling the State PlanningBoard to incorporate findings in to the 9th Five year plan proposals.

Coastal Sanitation Programme

This was planned as a major programme by the Government. But unfortunately due topoor follow up it was not possible to generate adequate funds and attention of variousdepartments/donors. However, as a small way three type of coastal programmes weredeveloped in Kollam, Thrissur and Malappuram districts. Negotiations are still takingplace with Matsyafed, Department of Fisheries and Coastal Development Authority forrejuvenating this programme.

IEC Model Action Plan Proposals for State and Districts

The Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM), New Delhi developed anInformation, Education and Communication strategy to promote the construction, use andmaintenance of water and sanitation facilities through out India. As a preliminary step 65districts were identified in India. Out of this 3 districts are from Kerala. As requested bythe Commissioner and Secretary, Rural Development Department, Government ofKerala, SEU Coordinating Office prepared a draft proposal for submitting to theRGNDWM. In this proposal SEU Foundation has been suggested as the nodal agencyand coordinating agency for implementing the IEC activity in the State. Three districtsviz, Kollam, Alapuzha and Malappuram has been identified for the IEC project. TheGovernment of India provides 50% of the funds for this programme and the balance hasto be met by the State Government. If this approach is a success there are chances tomultiply the programme in the coming years.

Study on the Protection of open wells to improve water quality- (AIIH &PH) Calcutta

The final draft report of the study was submitted only in late March 1996. From the resultsof Water quality analysis conducted in different stages it was identified that there is atendency of deterioration of water quality after it has been disinfected. Even insystematically constructed, well guarded dug wells of the both experimental and controlgroup the appearence of bacteriological contamination after six days of the disinfectionis a clear example of resurgence of pollution. More over there is a typical problem inKerala the people do not like the idea of covering the well fully with concrete or other solidcovers. However, there is a tendency in several communities in Kerala to practicedisinfection or some kind of home treatment of the water for drinking. Therefore it wouldlogical to imagine that an appropriate community based disinfection programme wouldpossibly be accepted by the communities in many parts of the state. The majorrecommendations of the study are as follows:

to minimse the entry of pollution only through one or two of the interventions arenot enough. The interventions should comprise good parapet, good lining, goodplatform, good adequate drain and atleast a nylon net cover;

Even with all the interventions as mentioned above a sustainable disinfectionprocess has to be developed. An appropriate drip chlorinator or pot chlorinatorcould only ascertain sustained disinfection vis-a-vis sustained safe bacteriologicalwater quality;

It is desirable that a community based system of procurement and supply ofappropnate disinfectant such as bleaching powder or herbal product and of dripchlohnators, which could be as well channelised through panchayat, should bedeveloped;

Side by side a community based water quality surveillance through field kits couldalso be developed and practiced in the villages by training appropriate localvolunteers.

As indicated in the terms of reference the representatives from the AIIH&PH organiseda training programme on April 9-1 Oth, 1996 for SEU staff members. Water Quality testingis based on the outcome of the study. The field staff were given an indepth training onthe use of water testing field kits, which was developed by AIIH &PH, in testing theresidual chlorine and bacteriological quality of water. The field staff were taken to the fieldand they were asked to collect and test the water quality under the guidance of AssociateProfessor A. Majumdar and Dr. G. Basu from the All india Institute of Hygiene and PublicHealth.
