Abstract
This synthesis report details the
process, outputs and intermediate outcomes of the World
Bank’s Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) Technical
Assistance (TA) to Support Government of India for
implementation of the National Urban Sanitation Policy
(P131963). The objective of this TA was to (i) strengthen
urban sanitation services and target the urban poor by
development of strategies for regulation, funds allocation,
improved accountability mechanisms and implementation of
inclusive sanitation policies at national level and in at
least five states, with two of these low-income states
(LIS). This was to be supplemented with (ii) enabling design
and use of improved performance monitoring systems by
Government of India, 3 states and 300 urban local bodies by
2015, and (iii) strengthen capacity of local urban
government institutions to provide improved – inclusive and
sustainable – sanitation services for all. This TA provides
the building blocks for sustainable sanitation improvements
which are being adopted and implemented as part of another
TA (P131967) in Madhya Pradesh and Tripura to pilot and
operationalize City Sanitation Plans (CSPs) towards outcome
oriented sector improvements. The areas addressed in this TA
include the following specific goals of the NUSP: open
defecation free cities, and integrated city-wide sanitation.
The TA provided assistance to central government and the
states in putting in place various elements identified as
necessary for sector improvement, including planning,
provisioning and monitoring processes. The TA also
identified the need for the cities to see opportunities for
financial recovery of investments through reuse and recycle
strategies, to strengthen the incentive for investment in
sanitation improvements.
