Initiatives by EDDS
1. Wash-N-Enterprise:
Wash-N-Enterprise is conceptualized as
an integrated unit to deal & address all
the components of WASH value chain.
Through this, the project intends to pilot
basket of innovations in an integrated
manner. It will develop business oriented,
community centered and sustainable
solution for Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Nutrition (WASH-N). It is envisaged to
be a complete package for achieving and maintaining total sanitation, which
includes systematic demand generation, planning, quality construction, backward
and forward linkages of services and supply. The aspects of WASH governance,
convergence and strengthening institutions will be taken up in a coordinated
manner. It will create opportunities for livelihoods and public private community
partnership (PPCP).
It has four components:
i.

PIV (Pan in the Van) for capacity building and promotion of Inclusive
WASH services is a new and innovative approach.

ii.

Wash Store: It will be a supply back up facility connected with production

unit (and with a network of product/ material suppliers). One of the
expected outputs is to maintain inventory for the latrines and other
sanitary products in the region.

iii.

Production Unit and O & M Services: This facility is for production of

various low cost products which are usually not available locally or are in
high demand pertaining to Sanitation. This wing will also provide technical
guidance and supervision during works.

iv.

Helpline: It will be a guidance facility linked with telephone (toll free

number) to act as link source for the demand side queries/needs for
WASH-N products and services. It will provide reliable information on
products, services and dependable technical guidance/options.

eeds
2. NGO School:
EEDS had facilitated establishment of NGO School with a view to provide a
learning space and to produce a new cadre with professional skills at the
grassroots in the development sector.

NGOs and CBOs working at grassroots and further advocates with government

Innovations
From the inception, EEDS is proactively involved in promoting innovations in WASH
sector. The emphasis is on the applied research for the strengthening field
implementation of inclusive sanitation.
a. On site capacity building Approach in WASH -PAN IN THE VAN

With the financial support of UNICEF, EEDS invented a new approach to

strengthen behavior change communication, local institutional building and pre
and post triggering interventions for sustainability of WASH program in
community and Schools. It constitutes of mobile vehicle equipped with basket of
12 tools, community friendly training material, various toilet models and onsite
demonstration of the production of items related to the rural toilets. This unit is
equipped with comprehensive training cum demonstration facility. The resource
persons accompanied with the mobile van are well trained to undertake
awareness, mobilization, participatory trainings, conduct survey and preparation
of action plans. The unit is stays for 3-5 days in a panchayats and conducts
several events. This creates opportunity of involving whole community in different
types of activities including recreational games as per their interest and

18

eeds
convenience. This intensive engagement not only builds environment but sets up
the pace for sanitation promotion due to enhanced sensitivity of people. Efforts
are still on to promote this approach on large scale and further advocate with
