Community empowerment through water and sanitation project among an indigenous people group
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by B. ManoharanThis paper is an experience of the water and sanitation project in an indigenous group in Kerala, South India where
community empowerment has been achieved through the support of world bank assisted water and sanitation project
“JALANIDHI”. The experience in Sholayoor Grama Panchayath reduced the burden of women and children for fetching
water. Through this project the tribal women played active roles in decision making, implementation, operation and
maintenance. This experience is a showcase of restoring dignity of socially disadvantaged people, increased access to
WATSAN services etc. Hither to, not heard concepts like cost recovery, participation of tribal community especially women
community contracting etc became a reality.
