Rationale

Rapid increase in urbanisation has put enormous pressure on basic service delivery in Indian cities. This urban growth has been evidently uneven with rising number of informal settlements both within and in the periphery of the cities. These informal settlements lack access to basic services, particularly sanitation services. India has long been regarded as the country with the largest share of people defecating in the open. In the last decade, with major interventions from the central, state and local governments, access to sanitation services has improved. However, the main challenge is to enhance the inclusivity of the urban poor and their participation across the sanitation service chain.

This course will equip the participants with the fullest understanding on various components of urban sanitation. It will provide in-depth knowledge on public policies and programmes on urban sanitation in India and the efforts of Indian civil society organisations to make sanitation services inclusive, participatory and sustainable.

Course objectives

  • Developing an understanding on various components of urban sanitation services, public policies and programmes in the Indian context
  • Developing an understanding of solid waste management (SWM) and liquid waste management (LWM) processes and participatory planning and monitoring of SWM and LWM
  • Developing an in-depth understanding of participatory methods of engaging citizens with a particular focus on the engagement of the urban poor.
