Content - Summary
The overreaching objective of the Slum Sanitation Program
(SSP) is to improve the inadequate sanitary conditions within
Mumbai’s slum areas through the provision of community
toilet blocks
- The motivation of the program is to implement a demand
driven community-based toilet project where slum
dwellers are not only beneficiaries but also collaborators.
The participatory approach of the SSP was a precondition
of the World Bank funding
- The program has considered a major role of community
in planning, designing, construction, operation and
maintenance of the toilet blocks
- It is expected that the communities would meet their own
demand the best by forming Community-Based
Organizations (CBOs) supported and motivated from
local NGOs and Officers on Special Duty (from SSP
Department)
- By giving the slum dwellers a sense of ownership and
responsibility towards the sanitary facility, it is expected to
improve the operation and maintenance of the toilet
blocks
