Problem analysis

Lack of awareness, knowledge and skills for delivering basic sanitation services through alternative decentralised solutions

Limited staff strength and lack of exposure and training on subject of decentralised solutions

Lack of an integrated approach towards citywide sanitation planning (non-inclusive and piece meal approach, focusing on conventional centralised systems only)

Lack of skilled staff and paucity of funds for implementing centralised systems (unsuited for urban sprawl)

Decentralised solutions are not recognized as an option in current mainstream policies and programs

Project will promote integrated sanitation planning at municipality level through decentralised approaches

Strengthening of municipal capacities to deliver basic sanitation services
