12. Recent initiatives cont… • Provision of Financial support from for Household toilets through NABARD and other funding being explored. • Guidelines for Sanitation of specially abled people under preparation • Guidelines of participation of NGOs under consideration • Guidelines for MHM under consideration • SLWM Framework issued • CSR support mechanism initiated

13. Issues for Discussion – New Guidelines • Approach: • Flexibility to States. The proposed SBM(Gramin) guidelines should be minimalist and give States maximum freedom, while putting in certain minimum technical safeguards and financial best practices. • Flexibility to States in implementation : Through PRIs or CSOs, CBOs, NGOs etc. • Within the overarching mandate of State flexibility, what should be the nature of Guideline from the Center in this regard? Role of MDWS? • Incentivisation of good performing States- Methodology

14. (B) What do we measure? • Health impacts as an/the Outcome indicator. • Toilet Usage • ODF. The view was that that it would be possible to verify if a community was ODF but it would be very difficult to check for toilet usage at a household level. • Another suggestion was the monitoring of IEC spend and their effectiveness. The lack of clear guidelines and expectations in this area has impacted district IEC spending. This has to be addressed.

15. (C ) Disbursal of Subsidy/Incentive: Options • Giving Incentives to HHs as present; (Permit advance) • States to have the option of not giving Incentives at all. • Incentive to the individual households after the community is declared ODF; • Incentive to the GPs/Communities for use for water and sanitation or other village works. • These are various suggestions, resulting from different approaches to implementation, all of which have proved effective in certain scenarios. • Should State/District be given the Option. • Role of MDWS?

16. (D) Foot Soldiers – District, Block Coordinators and SwachthaDoots (SD): (i) District And Block Level Personnel : States to commit to deploy adequate regular full time staff for the Mission at the State and District levels. • Full time Block Coordinator (at least One) - Government personnel or on Contract basis • Specialized IEC, HRD, SLWM and M&E Consultants at State level will have to be done at the State and Districts levels.

17. (ii) Gram Swachhata Doots • Necessity of a paid Swachhtha Doot. Is Volunteerism working? • Objections to create a new cadre. • Some suggesting increasing the incentive amount per toilet to the SD to Rs 150/-. • In some States SD have been useful as there are a lot of formalities and communication that needs to happen to the household in the course of the toilet construction. Also Monitoring, Coordination wand general footwork needed. • Can the ASHA or Anganwadi worker or SHGs not do this work.

18. (E) Other Issues • Involvement of NGOs, CSO, SHGs and Partners at District and GP Levels – Need for National Guidelines? • How to carry out Capacity building. Developing Master Trainers and Trainers down to the District and Block levels. • Supply side management- ensuring availability of Sanitary ware near each Village. • Planning of effective IEC, IPC and Triggering Campaign – Engagement of Support Communication Agencies. • Community Monitoring – Compulsory Social Audit

19. (F) Awards • An award scheme based on Verifying large number of GPs for ODF status will be a large logistical exercise and an inappropriate task for GoI. Quality would be difficult to keep up. • It may be better to leave this kind of an award to States to institute for themselves.
