So impressed with progress of @FssmOdisha programme, led by @HUDDeptOdisha & Shri G. Mathi Vathanan; their deep empowerment of Slum Dweller Associations & front-line sanitation workers is driving very visible improvements in sanitation service delivery, quality of life, dignity!
Applauding Odisha’s decentralised, inclusive and community-led FSSM model, the Team members expressed confidence on the programme’s far-reaching impact.5/5

I share the same feelings as Mark - every day brings more tragic news, and my thoughts are with all of our @BMGFIndia colleagues, partners & grantees, and every community facing rising threats of #COVID19
My heart is breaking each day as India continues to set records in #COVID19 cases. I stand with my @BMGFIndia colleagues, our partners & grantees, & their interconnected communities around the world. This pandemic won't be over for anyone until it's over for everyone

Safe & inclusive #WASH depends on effective sector regulation. For regulation to lead to service improvement, adaptation to the local institutional & political context is needed. The #AfricanSanitationPolicyGuidelines recommend ways to strengthen country regulatory effectiveness.
