Breakthrough policy development in India
In May 2010 the Ministry of Rural Development amended the Total Sanitation
Campaign (TSC)Guidelines and incorporated ecological sanitation (ecosan) as
a component of the implementation plan. In collaboration with UNICEF-India,
the Indian Government and additional key actors, SEI facilitated the
inclusion of the ecosan component into the TSC plan, paving the way for a
nationwide implementation of more sustainable sanitation services.

The EcoSanRes (Ecological Sanitation Research) Programme aims to develop and promote sustainable sanitation in the developing world through capacity development and knowledge management as a contribution to equity, health, poverty alleviation, and improved environmental quality.
EcoSanRes is funded by Sida and is a
member of the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA)
and the African Sanitation Knowledge Network (ASKNet).
A key outcome of the current phase of EcoSanRes is the creation of
Knowledge Nodes. EcoSanRes is also a partner in the
IFAD-funded project on productive sanitation in Aguié
Province, Niger.
