Leading Practices in Community Engagement and Sanitation

Community engagement and establishing women-led self help groups in cities across India is at the core of the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM). All other components of NULM, namely, self employment,skill training and entrepreneurship development have their roots in social mobilization. Incontrast to the rural livelihood mission, where there are several successful community engagementplatforms, due to the complexity and dynamic nature of slums in cities, such community platformsneed long time support for their sustenance. This can help in realising the overall goal of the NULM.Similarly, there is an urgent need for community engagement in the urban sanitation sector. Withlaunch of the Swachh Bharat Mission, this sector has received due attention however there is a greatdemand for skilled persons across the value chain of sanitation. This gap can be filled by engagingwith communities under both the missions and training individuals to promote businesses in sanitation(plumbers, masons, de-sludge operators, toilet maintenance contractors, etc.). The publication presents successful community engagement platforms in cities across the country that mostly are not under the NULM framework, but have successfully organized the communities around an issue and have helped them in their overall development. The aim of this publication is to identify key learning for improving implementation of NULM and its convergence with the Swachh Bharat Mission.

Learning from Oxfam’s Tiger Worm Toilets projects

The world is witnessing the highest levels of forced human displacement on record, leading to people being housed in urban centres and camps. Generally the sanitation needs of these people are initially met by external agencies. The long-term costs of operating and maintaining traditional sanitation systems can be unviable when communities or local authorities take over their management. Therefore Oxfam has been trialling the Tiger Worm Toilet (TWT) in peri-urban and camp settings. The aim of this paper is to review Oxfam’s TWT projects and to share the learnings, together with the innovations that have occurred. The learnings are that TWTs are not the solution to all sanitation problems, but they have been proven to work well at household level. Monitoring and documenting the trials has been an ongoing problem due to a number of issues, which are linked to short term funding, and the use of project rather than program approaches.

Peer-to-peer business models to meet sanitation needs - An applied research project for the Kenyan market

Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. Peer-to-peer (P2P) business models such as these have achieved scale globally, and relatively quickly. These P2P business models provide an organised way for us to collectively share certain resources. Could similar solutions reduce the barriers to sharing of the limited existing sanitation facilities in low income countries?During 2016 and 2017 Inclusive Business Sweden and Aqua for All, supported by Unilever and funded by Transform, carried out a project named ‘Peer-to-peer Business Models to Meet Sanitation Needs’ to explore this possibility. The project explored the potential of utilising P2P technologies or models to improve sharing of existing sanitation services in developing markets where access to sanitation is low, while mobile and smartphone penetration is increasing. We looked at common themes of P2P business models (e.g. use of a GPS enabled mapping system, use of a transparent mobile payment system and a digital review system) and how they could help address this challenge.
