Nepal in 2024 marks the 25th years of the celebration of national sanitation week. Every year, the national sanitation week is celebrated with week long activities which starts on the 5th June. The celebration of national sanitation week in Nepal was started from 2000 AD when the access to toilet was just 24%. The celebration of the event has been instrumental to ensure the mobilization of the stakeholders from wider spectrum to develop the targeted commitment as well as the solid contribution on the ground driven by a slogan " Sanitation for all, All for sanitation". Due to the concerted efforts of all range of stakeholders, on 30th September, 2019, Nepal gained the status as the first "ODF Country". After getting the status of ODF, it is obvious that the next step is Total Sanitation. The National Sanitation and Hygiene Master Plan of Nepal defines total sanitation as "all arrangements leading to sustainable hygiene and sanitation facilities and behaviors". The total sanitation guideline 2073 BS (2016 AD) has defined total sanitation as "The condition of attaining the results of clean and hygiene condition including the access to safe water, access to toilets for all, personal hygiene, food hygiene, household and institutional sanitation and environmental sanitation". SUSWA a bilateral project between the government of Nepal and government of Finland is under implementation at the selected local governments across Karnali province. SUSWA in its project period has targeted to ensure the increased results in relation to the sanitation facilities. The slogan for this year 2024 is सफा धर्ती,स्वस्थकर बानी;दिगो सरसफाइ,भविष्यको लगानी. Clean earth, hygiene behavior;Sustainable sanitation,investment for future. The theme of the slogan focuses on the environmental sanitation and hygiene behavior which are prominent features to attain the status of total sanitation. It has well elaborated that the investment for the sanitation and hygiene is for the future as it positively contributes for the growth and development of specially the children.The Karnali region which lags behind of human development indicators and multi-dimensional poverty indicators of all provinces is the champion of ensuring "ODF status" in Nepal. As evident from the government data sets, the slippage pertains at 4.5% household with no toilets, however the slippage is much wider as evident by different studies and baselines as well. Together with the government of all tiers, Sustainable WASH for All (SUSWA) is pursuing the paths towards total sanitation in compliance of the policies and strategies set forth. SUSWA is hopeful to attain the targeted results as it has come up and tailored required manuals and tools. The capacity imparted at the local level to ensure the effective implementation of sanitation and hygiene has shown the evidenced based results and showcased the brighter horizon of the sanitation sector of the country.

    A visit between 5-7 to Naumule and Bhagawatimai rural municipality of Dailekh has remained immensely fruitful to kick off Masons training at Naumule, a short review & reflection with both the WASH units, field monitoring to see how water supply, sanitation and hygiene is progressing, a reflective sharing with CAO from Bhagwatimai and showcasing of portable, affordable, user friendly and water efficient sanitation products. SUSWA is notably giving due consideration to ensure the increased participation of women for all sort of leadership including building the toilets through enhanced skills. Out of 12 masons 6 are the women masons participating for the masons training. The short review cum reflection and looking for the further paths for total sanitation was so helpful for the WASH units to plan for the HHs to comply with the total sanitation indicators. The sharing with the CAO and deputy chairperson reflects how SUSWA is working in hand in hand with the local governments for improved WASH services. I could see immense interest among the people for disabled friendly and user friendly Comode, hand washing station and I-traps. I am really impressed with both the WASH units for organizing and managing list of activities in a structured and efficient manner.

    The two days ToT on Total Sanitation has been completed successfully. The training was organized to capacitate WASH coordinators and WASH Advisors on the policy and legal instruments on total sanitation, reviewing ODF movement in Nepal, deep diving on total sanitation indicators, tools required to achieve the indicators of total sanitation indicators, sanitation marketing, BCC and targeting sanitation results for palikas. We are sure the skills imparted during the training will be helpful to expedited the total sanitation movement across the palikas in Karnali. SUSWA will be there to back up and facilitate the process.

    The world water week 2023 has come to an end here at Stockholm, Sweden. It has been a great pleasure to be present and share the new thoughts and plan that SUSWA together with iDE and local governments have initiated to ensure the increased and improved access to sanitation in the rural mountainous Karnali province in Nepal. As Karnali province of Nepal offers the challenges due to its harsh-topography and lack of and not having operational road access, there is need to have the mechanism that works to ensure the sustainable delivery of the sanitation products and services at the affordable costs. SUSWA together with iDE Nepal and local governments have come up with the market based solutions that are available at the national and international markets and with the improvement of the options including but not limited to the slabs, tiling and improving the dimensions of the toilets so that the communities like and prefer to use the toilet facilities in a sustainable manner. It has been really a great opportunity to be present at Stockholm to meet and share with the renowned WASH laureates from more than 150 countries with their 300+ sessions online and in person.What a week that helped us to open up the minds to think beyond the personal and national thoughts to harness the most innovative ideas and solutions for making our world a water-wise world.SUSWA
