India joined SWA in 2019.
Commitments by partners
Implement sustainable sanitation and wastewater treatment solutions across India, in partnership with governments, businesses and the civil society. The solutions are mainly implemented where the facilities are non-existent, and people don't have access to WaSH. Some examples are bio-toilets in schools, communities, low-income households, and worksites and fecal sludge treatment plants in rural and semi-urban/peri-urban communities. All solutions have resource recovery and circular economy, thereby providing treated water, biosolids and biogas.
PS
Banka BioLoo will provide sustainable sanitation facilities, in the form of bioloos or bio-toilets, to 250,000 students, primarily from low-income families - in partnership with larger corporations through their CSR programs.
PS
Equip at least 200 CSOs from 11 states of India with information and analysis on the status of WASH and SDG 6.1 and 6.2 implementation, and facilitate developing CSO engagement strategies in these states and implementation of the same with focus on evidence based advocacy for Leaving No One Behind and menstrual hygiene management.
