WASH Calendar 2064 published in March '07 hits on the fact that sanitation is not a priority of the government, political leaders are impassive, and an independent budget does not exist for it despite a huge amount set aside for drinking water. Study findings on horrible latrine conditions of public institutions and other burning social issues like untouchability, social exclusion and on women are also depicted.

Although there is greater understanding of the need to include women and
the poor in the management of rural community water and sanitation systems,
their participation remains limited. Recognising that better off and poor
women and men have different roles, interests and needs in the rural
drinking water and sanitation sector, facilitating their participation in the
decision making processes can increase project efficiency
and sustainability.
Key Elements
|
|
 |
|
Since 1999 NEWAH has been mainstreaming a Gender and Poverty sensitive
(GAP) approach at the programme and institutional level. The approach
recognises that without agency intervention women and the poorest are |automatically excluded from project benefits. The GAP approach aims to
ensure that equitable access to benefits is achieved through improved
water supply and sanitation services by including women and poor men,
which leads to more just and sustainable outcomes.

Integrating provision of drinking water with sanitation and hygiene
promotion has become an accepted model of best practice in the sector.
Nevertheless, sanitation and hygiene often receive less resources.
To advocate for increased attention to hygiene promotion it is
important to know whether communities continue to practice new
behaviours after a project ends. This study, carried out in Nepal
and five other countries, set about finding out whether this happens.
