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, Chandrapur decided to make the district ODF by June 2017 and developed an appropriate strategy and detailed action plan, outlined in this document. 1.1 Current sanitation situation in the district A snapshot of the sanitation situation, as of 1st December 2016, with respect to baseline Survey 2012 (BLS-2012) is presented in Table-1 below. Table-1: Sanitation coverage in Chandrapur district: Total Units 15 Blocks 824 3,11, 043 hhs Gram Panchayats (GPs) Sanitation coverage 1 block ODF 480 (58%) 2,46,137 hhs (79.7%) Target 14 344 (42%) 64,906 hhs (20.3%) 1.2 The Targets 1.2.1 BLS 2012 Target An analysis of block wise status of sanitation reveals that out of the 14 blocks remaining to be made ODF, seven blocks have above 100% 80% coverage, 3 blocks have coverage 80% between 70% and 80% and remaining 4 60% blocks have coverage below 70%. Details 40% 20% are given in table-2, below. 0% MUL Six blocks (Chimur, Saoli, Warora, SAOLI JIWATI RAJURA CHIMUR WARORA NAGBHID KORPANA Gondpipri, Rajura and Chandrpur) have a GONDPIPRI BALLARPUR SINDEWAHI POMBHURNA BRAHMAPURI BHADRAWATI CHANDRAPUR target above 5000 units in 217 GPs and Covered Target contribute about two-thirds (66%) of the 1 Announcement by Hon Chief Minister of Maharashtra on 19/11/2016 PriMove Pune UNICEF Mumbai Chandrapur District Swachhata Plan 3 total target. Hence, these blocks need special attention. There are 94 GPs which have target below 50 IHHLs. Total 22 GPs have target above 400 IHHLs and these 22 GPs bear nearly 22% (14,468 IHHLs) of the district’s target.

These are additional families and defunct toilets in the district. Target of additional families and Of 32, 810 new households formed in defunct toilets add to the target load in the district. GPs after baseline survey, 93% donot The total target (BLS 2012+ have a toilet, and additional families without IHHLs + 25% of total toilets built so far are in defunct toilets) in the district is some state of repair and are not in 1,56,655 IHHLs useable condition or used for other Six blocks (Chimur, Saoli, Warora, purposes (defunct toilets) Gondpipri, Rajura and Chandrapur) contribute about two-thirds (66%) of These households, totalling about 91,749, also the total target. need to be covered to achieve complete elimination of open defecation.

ENABLING FACTORS AND BOTTLENECKS Chandrpur district has done well in moving towards achiving 100% ODF status in the district. This achievement is due to a vibrant enabling environment, 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. -High political involvement- -Psychological barriers for guardian minister, MPs, MLAs usage of toilets -Utmost importnace by the -High number of big GPs ( CEO- regular reviews, 26 GPs with more than 1000 monitoring households) -Social media based daily -Less human power with monitoring mechanism technical knowledge of two already functional pit toilets -Smooth and timely fund -Less involvement from transfers village level functionaries of -Capable and dedicated staff other departments BOTTLENECKS -Availability of manpower -Issues in availability of sand ENABLING ENVIRONMENT ENABLING trained on ODEP (5 master trainers and 8 motivators) -Less effective convergence -ODEP process of government schemes implemmented in almost all -Less time period available AIP GPs for achieving the target -Formation of masons Groups facilitates the toilet constrcution activity PriMove Pune UNICEF Mumbai Chandrapur District Swachhata Plan 6 3. THE STRATEGY This section presents the strategy and action plan adopted by Zilla Parishad, Chandrapur to achieve the goal of making the district ODF by June 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) Deamnd 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 hosuehold level • Involvement of elected representatives for higher visibility, enhanced outreach and oversight • Involvement of other stakeholders for positive behaviour change • Monitoring quality of construction of toilets Demand • Effective convergence of government schemes Response • HR development and deployment to high burden areas Mechanism • Supply chain management • 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
