INTRODUCTION 1.0 State and District Vision The Government of Maharashtra (GoM) has recently announced its vision of making the state Open Defecation Free (ODF) by March 2018. 1 In order to contribute to this vision of the GoM, Zilla Parishad, Latur decided to make the district ODF by December 2017 and developed an appropriate strategy and detailed action plan, outlined in this document. Zilla Parishad Latur envisages making Jalkot, Deoni, Udgir and S. Anantpal blocks ODF by March 2017, Renapur, Chakur and Ahmadpur blocks ODF by October 2017 and Nilanga, Ausa and Latur blocks till December 2017. The vision is not only to make GPs ODF but to construct qualitative toilets for sustainability. 1.1 Current sanitation situation in the district A snapshot of the sanitation situation, as of 31st December 2016, with respect to baseline Survey 2012 (BLS-2012) is presented in Table-1 below. Table-1: Sanitation coverage in Latur district: Total Units 10 Blocks 783 3,03,025 hhs Gram Panchayats (GPs) Sanitation coverage No block ODF 272 (34.8%) 1, 86,614 hhs (61.6%) Target 10 blocks 511 (65.2%) 1, 16,411 hhs (38.4%) 100% 1.2 The Targets 80% 1.2.1 BLS 2012 Target 60% 40% An analysis of block wise status of 20% sanitation reveals that out of the 10 blocks 0% to be made ODF, one block has above 80% coverage, 3 blocks have coverage between Achivement Coverage 70% and 80%, 4 blocks have coverage 1 Announcement by Hon Chief Minister of Maharashtra on 19th November 2016 PriMove Pune UNICEF Mumbai Latur District Swachhata Plan 3 between 55% and 70% and remaining 2 blocks have coverage below 55%. Details are given in table-2, below. Three blocks (Nilanga, Latur and Ausa) each have a target above 20,000 units in 265 GPs and contribute about 59% of the total target. Hence, these blocks need special attention. Table -2: IHHL coverage and targets Sr. Block Total Total HHs ODF GPs % of ODF IHHL Target in No. GPs GPs Coverage % numbers 1.

This achievement is due to a vibrant enabling environnment, though bottlenecks exisit in some aspects. The same are presented in the schematic below. In moving forward, this strategy aims to strengthen the enabling factors and address bottlenecks. -Utmost importnace by the CEO and HoDs through -Psychological barriers for regular reviews, monitoring usage of toilets -Good involvement of GP -Issues in baseline survey leaders -Timely transfer of funds Priority to ODF GPs for other - Involvement of GP level programs functionaries -Capable and dedicated -High ratio of defunct toilets district level team in rehabilitated -Co-ordination between communities various concerned -Inadequate human power departments with technical knowledge of BOTTLENECKS -Positive involvement of press two pit toilets and media ENABLING ENVIRONMENT ENABLING - Involvement from village -Availability of manpower level functionaries of other trained on ODEP (5 master departments trainers and 8 motivators) - Uniform system for quality -ODEP process monitoring implemmented in almost all - Effective use of IEC kit target GPs - Effective implementation -Encouragement for of ODEP plans innovations in the sector PriMove Pune UNICEF Mumbai Latur District Swachhata Plan 6 3. THE STRATEGY This section presents the strategy and action plan adopted by Zilla Parishad, Latur to achieve the goal of making the district ODF by December 2017. While the primary aim of the strategy is to cover the BLS-2012 target, the strategy also focuses on covering additional families without toilets and families with defunct toilets, in convergence with other programs. Another key focus area of the strategy is to ensure sustainability of the ODF status. The unit of planning in this strategy is a block and builds on three pillars; (i) Demand Management (ii) Demand Response Mechanism and (iii) Oversight and monitoring. Key elements of these pillars are explained in the schematic diagram presented below. • Strategic planning and prioritization of IHHL construction • Rolling out ODEP process for generating demand at village level and its consolidation at higher levels Demand • Behaviour change communication for demand generation at Management household level • Involvement of elected representatives for higher visibility, enhanced outreach and oversight • Involvement of other stakeholders for positive behaviour change • Supply chain management Demand • Effective convergence of government schemes Response • Monitoring quality of toilets construction Mechanism • HR development and deployment to high burden areas • Effective fund flow mechanism • Daily monitoring • Oversight by elected representatives • Concurrent online and offline data entry Oversight and • Ensuring timely receipt of incentives by households Monitoring • Regular meetings of people involved in implementation • Development of a special third party task force for monitoring • Sustainability monitoring Next section of this document details the key strategic actions followed by the action plan.

STRATEGIC ACTIONS AND ACTIVITY PLAN The key strategic actions and a detailed action plan under the three strategic pillars are captured in this section. 4.1 Demand Management District While there is a good awareness Swachhata about need for adopting Plan sanitation behaviour, there are Oversight some sections where the Demand and awareness is not yet translated Management into demand. Hence, generating monitoring demand for building toilets Demand among these sections is response mechanism paramount. Second, creating demand for making the entire GP ODF
