PREFACE
After the successful completion of the fourth South Asian Conference on
Sanitation held in Sri Lanka 2012, the Sri Lankan government has given its
enormous contribution to take up all the responsibilities to initiate the
outcome of the SACOSAN IV Colombo Declaration. Apart from that, the
government has allocated a special budget line in the annual Parliamentary
budget to implement the SACOSAN IV Colombo Declaration Follow up
Activities continuously.
The Ministry of Water Supply & Drainage is the leading institute which
directed this programme under the guidance of Hon. Dinesh Gunawardena,
the Minister to the Ministry of Water Supply & Drainage. All these
implementation activities are being supervised and monitored in the
WATSAN meeting, which is supposed to be the flat form for water and
sanitation in Sri Lanka.
The National Water Supply & Drainage Board is playing a key role to
implement the agreed activities mentioned in the SACOSAN IV Colombo
Declaration with the assistance of Rural Water and Sanitation Section
through the respective Regional Support Centers of NWSDB in Sri Lanka
This report is compiled providing special attention to the 1st, 2nd and 4th
objectives of the SACOSAN IV Colombo Declaration. In addition to that,
the present progress of the other commitments of the SACOSAN IV
Colombo Declaration too is included in this report.
However, the Ministry of Water Supply & Drainage, the National Water
Supply & Drainage Board and other sector partners are rendering their
services to fulfill the other targets of the SACOSAN IV Follow UP Activities
in a fruitful manner.
I strongly believe that Economic growth
alone is not beneficial to the people. It must
produce wide spread benefits to the people
while improving basic needs of the society.
Access to – water, sanitation, shelter, electricity,
health and education - is key, to open the doors
for a society to enjoy quality basic needs…”

Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka

1. BACKGROUND
The South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN) is a
government led biennial convention held on a rotational basis in each
SAARC country providing a platform for interaction on sanitation,
enabling learning from the past experiences and setting actions for the
future. The major objective of this conference is to accelerate the
progress in sanitation and hygiene promotion in South Asia and to
enhance quality of people's life. The SACOSAN process is
instrumental to generate political wills towards better sanitation in
the region.
The South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN) is held in
order to create awareness on the importance of sanitation among
South Asian countries, similar to AFRICASAN organized by South
Africa and EASAN organized by fourteen East Asian countries. South
Asian countries namely; Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India,
Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are the participating countries.
SACOSAN was held firstly in Bangladesh in 2003, secondly in Pakistan
in 2006, thirdly in India in 2008 and fourthly in Sri Lanka in 2011. The
NWSDB was directly responsible for the organizing of the fourth
conference held in this country.
The fourth South Asian Conference on Sanitation was held in th th
Colombo from 4 - 7 April 2011, under the theme “Sanitation
Enhances Quality of Life“. Around 320 delegates representing the
SAARC region and international agencies comprising representatives
from Government, UN agencies, development banks, sector INGOS,
NGOs, donor agencies and the media representatives from the region,
civil society organizations and school children. In parallel to that th
Ministerial Summit was held on 6 of April 2011 which was attended
by six Ministers and parliamentarians and heads of delegates from
eight countries. The major objectives of this international conference

2. INTRODUCTION
Sanitation facilities are very helpful to reduce the mal hygienic
practices of people. Basically good hygienic practices prevent the
contamination of human fecal from water and soil and avoid the
transmission of fecal - oral diseases. Epidemiological evidence suggests
that sanitation has a huge impact in preventing diseases with the
improvement of water supply.
Apart from that, it helps to make major changes in people's behavior
further to minimize the household cost. Sanitation is likely to be
particularly effective in controlling worm infections. Adults often think
of sanitation in terms of their perceptions. But the safe disposal of
children's faeces has got a critical importance to promote sanitation
within the family.
Children are the main victims of Diarrhea and other faecal-oral
disease, and also the most likely source of Infection. Construction of
child friendly toilets and the implementation of effective school
sanitation programmes have a greater effect towards promoting the
demand for sanitation facilities.
Hence, SACOSAN IV Follow-up Activities Sanitation Programme was
especially designed to address some of the objectives of the
SACOSAN Colombo Declaration. The Ministry of Water Supply &
Drainage in collaboration with the National Water Supply & Drainage
Board implemented this programme in the selected areas of the
country. It was considered the several requests for the sanitation
facilities sent from the relevant districts based on their needs of
sanitation. The Ministry of Water Supply &
Drainage identified those sanitation
needs through a need analysis and
provided money to the respective
districts to implement the sanitation
programme.

3. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The main scope of this project is to improve the sanitation facilities
and achieving total sanitation coverage in the selected PS areas and to
promote good hygienic practices among people. Apart from that,
providing sanitation facilities to a selected school of each Pradeshiya
Sabha (PS) area in respective districts is the other objective of this
programme.
4. THE OBJECTIVES
a. To cover the total sanitation (school and community) of the
selected Pradeshiya Sabha (PS) areas.
b. To aware the community in relation with the good hygiene
practices, health and sanitation.

proposed to improve the sanitation facilities of the neediest 300
households and five schools from selected PS area in Trincomalee,
Batticaloa, Hambantota and Puttalam districts where the sanitation
facilities are not up to the standards to achieve the required sanitation
needs.
In view of achieving the above goal, GOSL has allocated Rs. 9.0 million
to the Ministry of Water Supply & Drainage.
It was proposed to implement the programme, based on the following

7.3 Implementation Methodology of Community Sanitation Programme
Step 1
District RWS Unit was the key implementing agency of this sanitation
programme. Identification of beneficiaries for this programme was
based on the available data collected on sanitation facilities of the field
surveys carried out by relevant district RWS units with the support of
selected Pradeshiya Sabhas.
The respective public Health Inspector of those PS areas was involved
in selecting the beneficiaries, locations for the toilets, recommending
and certifying the construction activities before releasing the funds.
Step 2
Based on the outcome of the participatory survey, the needs analysis
and the request made by the communities, the targeted beneficiary
families were selected. The major attention was given to the
households particularly those who use temporary latrines. Further,
mainly considered were the people who were capable enough to
construct the latrines within the sanitation grant of Rs. 18,000.00
provided under SACOSAN Programme.
Step 3
After the selection of beneficiaries in the community, the NWSDB
was able to release the required funds to each regions based on the
sanitation proposals forwarded by the relevant RWS units.
Step 4
The sanitation grant of Rs. 18,000.00 was distributed among the
beneficiaries by three installments with the close supervision and
monitoring of the construction activities.
7. THE IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM
7.1 Beneficiary Identification of the Community
In order to implement this programme, the beneficiary identification
of the community was carried out based on the neediest households
particularly those who did not use latrines at all and those who were
using temporary latrines. Apart from that, their level of income, the
environment, living conditions, toilet needs and other relevant aspects
were taken in to consideration, in order for selection of the
beneficiaries. In addition to that, available poverty indicators and other
related baseline data were also considered for the beneficiary
identification. The respective Rural Water Supply (RWS) units of the
NWSDB in selected districts were responsible to select the
beneficiaries in collaboration with the Medical Officer of Health
(MoH), Public Health Inspectors (PHI), relevant officers attached to
local government institutes such as Pradeshiya Sabhas and the relevant
officers of Divisional Secretariats.
7.2 Beneficiary Identification of the School
The beneficiary identification of the schools too was carried out in a
proper way to cater for the burning issues of the field of school
sanitation and hygiene. This beneficiary identification was done by the
respective RWS Sections of the NWSDB with the help of the zonal
education office, MOH office, PHIs with the authorization of
Pradeshiya Sabhas.
The available data in relation to the sanitation and the sanitation
requests from the schools were mainly taken in to account for
beneficiary identification. During the selection of schools highly
considered were the schools which do not have toilets at all. A need
analysis too was carried out to identify the real beneficiary schools.
One school from each Pradeshiya Sabha was identified to construct
the latrines in selected schools.

7.3 Implementation Methodology of Community Sanitation Programme
Step 1
District RWS Unit was the key implementing agency of this sanitation
programme. Identification of beneficiaries for this programme was
based on the available data collected on sanitation facilities of the field
surveys carried out by relevant district RWS units with the support of
selected Pradeshiya Sabhas.
The respective public Health Inspector of those PS areas was involved
in selecting the beneficiaries, locations for the toilets, recommending
and certifying the construction activities before releasing the funds.
Step 2
Based on the outcome of the participatory survey, the needs analysis
and the request made by the communities, the targeted beneficiary
families were selected. The major attention was given to the
households particularly those who use temporary latrines. Further,
mainly considered were the people who were capable enough to
construct the latrines within the sanitation grant of Rs. 18,000.00
provided under SACOSAN Programme.
Step 3
After the selection of beneficiaries in the community, the NWSDB
was able to release the required funds to each regions based on the
sanitation proposals forwarded by the relevant RWS units.
Step 4

beneficiaries by three installments with the close supervision and
monitoring of the construction activities.
7. THE IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM
7.1 Beneficiary Identification of the Community
In order to implement this programme, the beneficiary identification
of the community was carried out based on the neediest households
particularly those who did not use latrines at all and those who were
using temporary latrines. Apart from that, their level of income, the
environment, living conditions, toilet needs and other relevant aspects
were taken in to consideration, in order for selection of the
beneficiaries. In addition to that, available poverty indicators and other
related baseline data were also considered for the beneficiary
identification. The respective Rural Water Supply (RWS) units of the
NWSDB in selected districts were responsible to select the
beneficiaries in collaboration with the Medical Officer of Health
(MoH), Public Health Inspectors (PHI), relevant officers attached to
local government institutes such as Pradeshiya Sabhas and the relevant
officers of Divisional Secretariats.
7.2 Beneficiary Identification of the School
The beneficiary identification of the schools too was carried out in a
proper way to cater for the burning issues of the field of school
sanitation and hygiene. This beneficiary identification was done by the
respective RWS Sections of the NWSDB with the help of the zonal
education office, MOH office, PHIs with the authorization of
Pradeshiya Sabhas.
The available data in relation to the sanitation and the sanitation
requests from the schools were mainly taken in to account for
beneficiary identification. During the selection of schools highly
considered were the schools which do not have toilets at all. A need
analysis too was carried out to identify the real beneficiary schools.
One school from each Pradeshiya Sabha was identified to construct
the latrines in selected schools.
11 12
Step 5
The sanitation grants released to construct the school latrines were
spent with the monitoring and supervision process of respective SDSs
and RWS units. The PHIs of the area too made the field visits to
observe the construction activities time to time.
Step 6
Parallel to the construction activities of the school toilets several
hygiene awareness programmes were carried out school level to
aware the students on best hygiene and sanitation practices.
8. SOCIAL MOBILIZATION
The selected beneficiaries were linked to implement the toilet
construction activities through a comprehensive social mobilization
process. It was very prominent to see the community was actively
engaged with the implementation process. Social mobilization process
was very much helpful to mobilize the community and the students to
promote the better hygiene and sanitation facilities. Social
mobilization process of the community was conducted through the
community-based organizations and the community leaders in the

given to the schools which do not have proper latrines and the schools
which already made their requests for having toilets.
Step 3
It was allocated Rs. 100,000.00 for each PS area to improve the
sanitation facilities in selected five schools. However, for the
identification of schools, it was needed to have the approval from the
respective Zonal Directors of each PS area. However, the five schools
which had got less sanitation facilities were selected based on the
needs analysis conducted in the respective areas.
Step 4
After selection of the beneficiary schools the NWSDB was initiated to
release the required funds to the respective School Development
Committees (SDS) based on the sanitation proposals forwarded by
the relevant district RWS units.
