National Key Resource Centre for Drinking Water and Sanitation

Agency : MoDW&S, GoI

IIHMR has been identified by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, as the Key Resource Centre (KRC) for Sanitation in Rajasthan. The main objectives are: to build capacities of the government officials, PRI representatives, and other stakeholders (key program managers); to provide technical guidance and monitoring support to the State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM); and to provide research and advocacy support for the program. The KRC has been working in close collaboration with the Panchayati Raj and Rural Development Department, Department of Health and FW, PHED, and other departments relevant to promoting water and sanitation in the state.

In the current phase of the project, training programs are conducted in cascade mode, developing a District Resource Group (DRG) for each district through TOTs. District Water and Sanitation Mission Members (DWSM) are also involved in DRG. The DRGs will further impart training to the PRIs and VWHSC members and NGOs.  So far  206 participants through  six four-day capacity building programmes under KRC Sanitation  and  176 participants  through  six four-day capacity building programmes under KRC Water , have been trained. Fresh proposals for undertaking further capacity building initiatives in consultation with CCDU sanitation and WSO Water are under preparation.
