We appreciate the project community led water and sanitation system in rural Orissa. The strategy is well planned which covers all the issues and aspects required for the successful implementation of the activity.

Regarding trainings , we would like to know more about the trainings modules, monitoring etc. which can add to our learning process.

Best wishes,
WOTR

Mr. Thomas, thanks for your question.

As a part of this programme, Gram Vikas conducts health awareness camps, other motivation meetings and a host of trainings in issues like gender sensitisation, grassroots leadership, local governance, livelihoods enhancement etc. Skill development trinings are also conducted for unskilled landless youth so that they graduate to highly paid masons within a period of two years or less. For these skill trainings, our staff along with the village committee come up with a list of boys and girls who are in need and are interested in such a training.

Every staff looks after three to four villages. He/she is reponsible for monitoring the programme in the initial stages. We keep track of the progress through a Monthly Progress Report - a data sheet which keeps track of key monitoring indicators on a monthly basis. Monitoring at the village level is gradually handed over the women's SHGs and the different sub-committees of the Village Committee. Along with monitoring proper use and maintenance of the water supply and sanitation systems, we also monitor key indicators in education and health closely.

Please revert to us through this forum or on email in case you need more detailed information.
