Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS)
India’s RWSS Sector is rapidly evolving. TARU is playing a
crucial role in shaping and refining the Sector’s reform agenda
and facilitating its institutionalization. Our
work in the Sector spans 18 Indian States.
Our situation analyses and programme and thematic assessments in
the early and mid 1990s brought hitherto less appreciated issues
around source and system sustainability, community ownership and
equity to the fore and more recent ones have informed major
reform course corrections. In time, we have gone on to devise
creative responses to critical sector issues, support their
institutionalization and engage with a new ‘generation’ of
emergent sector issues.
TARU is among the few agencies that have examined rural
sanitation issues closely and exclusively.
Need strategic, technical or managerial support as your proceed with reform measures? Time to review your State’s policies, strategies, action plans and institutional arrangements? Looking for support to conceptualize, design, implement or evaluate your RWSS Sector initiatives?
