Community Mobilisation

Capacity Building
 

One of the main purposes of WASMO is to mobilise the communities in its project areas, mainly through awareness campaigns and transfer of knowledge. It seeks to bring about a change in habits and practices. This is essential to empower local communities to take up the challenges of a demand-driven, community-managed water supply and sanitation programme. This work is carried out by WASMO's Community Mobilisation Unit and Documentation and Communication Unit, through the help of Implementation Support Agencies (ISAs).

Community mobilisation and its outputs
 

The Community Mobilisation Unit is responsible for training programme personnel and for interacting with ISAs and pani samitis in developing participatory planning and implementation. It acts as a gateway between Coordination Monitoring and Support Units (CMSUs) and Engineering Support Cells (ESCs) on the one hand and ISAs and pani samitis on the other to ensure smooth implementation of community-managed water and sanitation programmes.
 

The Documentation and Communication Unit creates awareness in project areas and beyond through information, education and communication (IEC) activities such as meetings, campaigns, radio programmes, manuals, brochures, leaflets and posters. These are targeted at local community members and leaders such as sarpanches, pani samiti members, school teachers and doctors and Public Health Engineering engineers.
 

WASMO's field units and ISAs aim to enhance the capacity of pani samiti members through training, exposure visits, workshops and seminars. These efforts are to promote equitable and sustainable sharing of benefits.
