What constitutes Basic Services for the Poor?
The model as it emerged • MHT mobilises the community and builds its
capacity.• MHT facilitates with the Government to implement a
water and sanitation programme.• The construction costs are a combination of the
Government funds and the community.• Community contribution usually varies from 15% to
50% of the total cost. This is mobilised through self contribution or Microfinance.
• CBO continues to liase with the ULB.• Reached Over 1,40,000 households over 10 cities in
5 states.

Challenges of Working with the Government
Poor perspective changes with the change in administration and governance
To bring the back line functions to the front line of the government (provisioning of a special cell/arrangement.)
Addressing mind sets/(housing vis a vis basic and serivces)
Ideal solution vis avis incremental solution.Bringing in flexibility and Accountability.Coordination between various city/state/parastatal
bodies involved in provisioning basic services.
Why Work With The Government ?
• Reaching larger numbers.• Assisting the poor in moving towards
Formalisation.• Mainstreaming the poor (same level of services
as a main stream citizen.• Convergence of programmes (ensuring water
/sewage/toilets /paved roads.)• Enables linkages like inclusion of community in
the payment of user charges.• Enables sustainable maintenance of the services.• Gives rise to new partnerships.(eg. Slum
electrification in Ahmedabad.)• Community mobilised to further improve living
conditions.(invest in housing, striving to buy land) etc.
