Both are agreed working on the plan during 2012-13 . • Continues deferent Media person visit in project area. Challenges: • About 50% of the project area is water scarce. • 11-Village of the project area are on stony soil so digging for leach pit is a challenge to us. • The reach of resources at project area is also a challenge. • Very few transportation facilities are available at the project area and charges are also very high. • Intersectoral Convergence. • Low capacity of Panchayat. Learning's: • Community monitoring system with the support of NGO to stop corruption: At Jaderu Panchayat 3 new school toilet were sanctioned but the sarpanch renovate the old building and showed as new construction. VWSC raised its voice against the issue with our support. After a long debate and verification Janpad panchayat ordered recovery of the funds. • Public hearing can proved to be a very good tool to address the problems and solving at local level • Systematic efforts would be made to take up non functional existing water sources. • With the help of community good models would be created on Water, sanitation and Hygiene program. Training Requirements: • Training and capacity building of project staff. • IEC material. • Technical and Resource support on Water point Mapper Tool. • Training on Advocacy. • Training on research methodology. • Hygiene Promotion. • Exposure of other state work for new staff. Opportunity for research, Documentation and Advocacy in future • Advocacy for promotion of Menstrual hygiene Under NRHM for all over district and its proper implementation. • Research on WASH and relation of other activity. • Studies the impact of MNREGA on Wash activity and its relation of community health. • Joint Monitoring mechanisms on both health program and water and sanitation facilities in the village Staff Training Community Mobilization Water Sanitation Training & Workshop With Service Provider Training & Workshop With Service Provider Global Hand Washing Day World Water Day Achievement in the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene THANK,S
