INDIA  |  STATUS: CURRENT

India has a vast and varied geographic, economic and social landscape, which varies from region to region. While there has been significant progress at the National Level to further safe sanitation outcomes there is a need to evolve from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more contextualised solution for the state’s population, sanitation budget and infrastructure and existing political commitment.

This is where the organization DASRA, officially Impact Foundation, which we support, comes in. It transforms knowledge, which has already been acquired in other states in India, into an effective lever in regions where resources and technological know-how are (still) lacking.
