Abstract:
Implementing a participatory, demand-based program in a complex urban setting is not without its challenges. Mumbai faces a number of policy and programming issues that need to be addressed if the SSP experience is to be applied in a broader strategy and scaled-up to meet the city’s urgent sanitation needs.
This document summarizes key features of the SSP implementation challenges and how they were addressed as well as main lessons learned. The SSP experience provides a good example about how sustainable urban community sanitation programs can be implemented effectively. The experience is instructive since this impacts communities’ lives not only in Mumbai but also provides lessons for other Indian cities as well as other large metropolitan areas in the developing world.
