Junior Expert - Sanitation
GIZ
Location: Delhi
Position: Junior Expert
Project: Sanitation
Location: New Delhi
Reference no: 15/02/2012GIZ Sanitation Project/ Junior Expert
A. Project Background
Till 2050 the urban population in India will almost double, which is an increase from 28% in 2001 to 50% of the total population. There are substantial deficits with respect to urban sanitation and significant measures have to be undertaken to improve the future overall situation.
In October 2008 the Indian government sanctioned a policy paper prepared by Ministry of Urban Development as “National Urban Sanitation Policy“. This document indicates the strong will of the Government to achieve the goals of the second World Water Decade (WWD) “Water for Life” (2005-2015), which is one of the core elements of the MDG7 – to secure ecological sustainability as well as MDGs 4, 5 and 6, which includes health and hygienic conditions of the poor and women.
According to official figures about 60 million people in urban India do not have access to toilets. Though sewerage systems widely exist about 37% of faecal matter is not adequately treated and the Government estimates the economic loss based on bad hygienic conditions and environmental damages on about 60% of the total GDP (NUSP 2008).
The new policy incorporates a paradigm shift based on the 74th Constitutional Amendment (1992) to strengthen Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and follows integrated concepts in the design and implementation of sanitation strategies. The overall goals are (a) awareness generation and behaviour change, (b) achieving open defecation free cities and (c) integrated city-wide sanitation. Particular focus lies in the improvement of hygienic conditions for the urban poor (pro-poor approach) and for women by applying cost-efficient technologies.
All states are requested to act at par with the National Urban Sanitation Policy and to develop State Sanitation Strategies. The development of these strategies can happen parallel to the preparation of the CSP, which by this has pilot character and requires strong interaction with the respected state government bodies. The Municipalities have to implement 100% sanitation, as well as provide adequate financing mechanisms, tariff systems and shall consider Private Public Partnerships (PPP) for efficient implementation.
The future technologies have to follow holistic concepts considering collection, conveyance and treatment altogether. Decentralized solutions are well accepted if they lead to the target of 100% sanitation. Recycling and reuse of wastewater is considered as a favourable solution to react on water scarcity in many cities. The implementation of urban sanitation will be supported by various schemes like BSUP, UIDSSMT under JNNURM, 10% Lump Sum for NE States, Satellite Township Scheme, etc.
GIZ under its Sanitation programme supports the Ministry of Urban Development in the implementation of the National Urban Sanitation Policy. This activity evolved out of the ASEM programme when GIZ was active in 6 JNNURM cities namely, Shimla, Varanasi, Nashik, Raipur, Tirup athi and Kochi, when it prepared City Sanitation Plans. All the plans are ready and submitted to the cities. GIZ in a second phase is now focussing on how to implement and upscale this comprehensive city-wide planning and mutually agreed with the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) to additionally consider the cities Dewas, Hoshangabad, Mysore, Vasai Virar and Vikarabad. Furthermore GIZ is looking in the support of City Sanitation Strategies in few of the eight selected States, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.

In addition the expert provides his experiences in the various dimension related to urban sanitation such as (a) Governance & Institution, (b) Finances, (c) Technology, (d) Inclusiveness and (e) Capacity Building. Furthermore that expert should be able to understand governance processes on State level.
2) Technical support of upto eleven Cities in preparation and implementation of City Sanitation Plans
The City Sanitation Plan are an important document described in the NUSP- Annexure II. The expert will develop a comprehensive understanding of the CSP as well as other strategic documents as there are (a) National Urban Sanitation Policy, (b) Handbook for Service Level Benchmarks, (c) Manual for preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). The incumbent has to be familiar with already existing approaches towards CSP (e.g. from Agra, Hoshangabad, Badlapur etc.). Based on the above mentioned documents, the expert is expected to make use of already developed assessment criteria approved by MoUD for the CSP assessment and has to independently support GIZ target cities in the preparation and/or implementation of CSPs.
3) Support of the National School Sanitation Initiative
The National School Sanitation Initiative (NSSI) is a joint effort spear-headed by Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), with support from Ministry of Human Resource Development (MoHRD), and GIZ India. The initiative is aimed at using the “Children as agents of change” philosophy and addressing the water, sanitation and hygiene issues in schools in a broad sense to initiate behavioural change among children, who can potentially take back the lessons home and trigger a change.
A list of criteria has been developed under the NSSI to rate the “Sustainable sanitation status” of all schools joining the initiative.

Junior Expert - Sanitation
GIZ
Location: Delhi
Position: Junior Expert
Project: Sanitation
Location: New Delhi
Reference no: 15/02/2012GIZ Sanitation Project/ Junior Expert
A. Project Background
Till 2050 the urban population in India will almost double, which is an increase from 28% in 2001 to 50% of the total population. There are substantial deficits with respect to urban sanitation and significant measures have to be undertaken to improve the future overall situation.
In October 2008 the Indian government sanctioned a policy paper prepared by Ministry of Urban Development as “National Urban Sanitation Policy“. This document indicates the strong will of the Government to achieve the goals of the second World Water Decade (WWD) “Water for Life” (2005-2015), which is one of the core elements of the MDG7 – to secure ecological sustainability as well as MDGs 4, 5 and 6, which includes health and hygienic conditions of the poor and women.
According to official figures about 60 million people in urban India do not have access to toilets. Though sewerage systems widely exist about 37% of faecal matter is not adequately treated and the Government estimates the economic loss based on bad hygienic conditions and environmental damages on about 60% of the total GDP (NUSP 2008).
The new policy incorporates a paradigm shift based on the 74th Constitutional Amendment (1992) to strengthen Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and follows integrated concepts in the design and implementation of sanitation strategies. The overall goals are (a) awareness generation and behaviour change, (b) achieving open defecation free cities and (c) integrated city-wide sanitation. Particular focus lies in the improvement of hygienic conditions for the urban poor (pro-poor approach) and for women by applying cost-efficient technologies.
All states are requested to act at par with the National Urban Sanitation Policy and to develop State Sanitation Strategies. The development of these strategies can happen parallel to the preparation of the CSP, which by this has pilot character and requires strong interaction with the respected state government bodies. The Municipalities have to implement 100% sanitation, as well as provide adequate financing mechanisms, tariff systems and shall consider Private Public Partnerships (PPP) for efficient implementation.
The future technologies have to follow holistic concepts considering collection, conveyance and treatment altogether. Decentralized solutions are well accepted if they lead to the target of 100% sanitation. Recycling and reuse of wastewater is considered as a favourable solution to react on water scarcity in many cities.
