conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Vinod K. Mishra, Amarjeet SinghIn 2016, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation(MDWS), Government of India (GoI) empanelled
competent organizations and individuals to offer on-demand capacity building support and guidance on
community wide approaches for sanitation to different districts and states in India. The Water Supply &
Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) is an UN agency and as an empanelled organization for
training works closely with the district of Saharanpur towards making it an ODF district. Constantly
looking for innovative ways to influence behaviour change, WSSCC deployed new tools of stunting and
menstruation to galvanize communities to make Saharanpur an open defecation free district of Uttar
Pradesh. It showed startling success in the district within few months without using cash incentive to
propel behaviour change. This paper outlines the new methods and tools adopted for community wide
approaches, its challenges and outcomes.
