01 New norms for procurement to allow participation from NGOs representing community groups.
02 Work order only includes construction guided by detailed project reports prepared by the municipal corporation. These are often outdated and suggest designs without community consultation. The alliance uses its own funds to re-do designs and settlement layouts based on community needs. Thus, we are advocating for participation in preparation of DPRs prior to call for construction.
03 Better payment delivery systems. Initial capital costs are borne by SSNS using outside funding as government subsidies are only released after the first stage of construction. Delayed payments from the municipality and community contributions remain the biggest challenges to faster delivery of projects.
