Bundi – Sanitation Campaign, under NBA • Though a community led campaign was initiated
in 2012, it could not scale up due change in leadership & structural defects –2 GPs ODF
• Renewed efforts in August 2013 by addressing core concerns with focus on Institutional Strengthening & capacity building
• October’2013: Reinitiated the campaign with the technical support of WSP (Community led approach focusing on ODF, rather than mere construction )
• December 2013 : 2 GPs became ODF
• February 2014 : 15 GPs became ODF and counting

Major Challenges & Changes Made
Previously Now Limited manpower: No DRGs, Motivators in the team
DRG at every block for training and motivating the team at GP; Motivators appointed at GP level
IEC approach focused on wall paintings, slogans etc
IPC (inter-personal communication) made the basic tool for motivation
Focus purely on number of toilets built Focus is now on ODF
Therefore, community involvement minimal; often toilets not even used
Through IPC & ODF concept, entire GP is mobilised, making this a community based movement
Large government agencies at GP level unutilized/no incentives
ASHAs, Ward Panches & other active members of the society to receive monetary incentive @ Rs. 75/toilet
Tedious payment procedure & less amount
Convergence with MGNREGA & advance revolving fund for quick payments to completed toilets
