Key Issues of project area focusing
on WATSAN
• Poor or No Sanitation services in communities and Schools.
• More than 95 per cent of the project participants especially
WOMEN suffer the indignity of open defecation.
• Lack of Safe & Affordable Water facilities.
• The focus of local government on improvement of WATSAN
facilities is not satisfactory.
• Insufficient funds available at Local Government level to address
WATSAN issues.
• People are not aware of schemes available in WATSAN sector.
• Nobody takes Accountability and Responsibility for failure in
achieving the anticipated results in WATSAN.
Summary of the project specific
reference to Our Situation
• “If we are to meet poor people’s demands for
clean water and adequate sanitation, and if the
Right to Water and Sanitation” to be realized,
The Local Governments will have to be
more responsive and accountable to
poor people. The best way we can do this is
to work with Governments and Civil
Society
Organizations
especially
WSHGs/VWSCs to help enable the voices of
those without WatSan to be heard, and then for
governments to ACT on what they hear.
Outcomes of the Project
Outcome : 1
• MARI is capacitated and emerged as
knowledgeable and skilled organization
to influence the implementation and
evaluation of WASH programmes in
Warangal District and also established
good linkages with other CSOs and
Networks.
Outcome : 2
• MARI is able to effectively engage in
decision making processes affecting
the WASH sector in general and
particularly
focusing
on
Govt’s
commitments in different political
platforms (eg. SACOSAN-IV), New
Guidelines of National Drinking Water
Mission, etc.
Outcome : 3
• Tribals and women’s organizations are
effectively and collectively demanding
government’s accountability and
transparency to allocate more funds
and efficient utilization of allocated
finances for improved water and
sanitation services.

Key Learnings
• Educating the tribals on the fundamental
aspects of State and Governance is very
much essential to make them feel assertive
about their rights and entitlements.
• The project needs lot of information about
the inside functioning of the concerned Govt.
departments and we need to strategically
work with them to understand the same
before beginning the questioning or
confrontation process.
Key Learnings….
• Governance and Transparency in the WATSAN
sector is possible only when people demand for
high quality services. But this was beyond
imagination of the local tribals. Exposure to one
of the model villages made them realized what
they are lacking and how they are put to
suffering.
• Media sensitization and regular news on
WATSAN issues generated a conducive
environment for project implementation.
Key Learnings…
• Though local tribal Gram Panchayats are suppose to
provide WATSAN services, their capacities and
resources are very low. Hence there is a need to work
with them rather than simply mobilizing people to
question or demand for services.
