What is a City Sanitation Plan?
Contents of a CSP
The document addresses both technical (wastewater, solidwaste, water supply, access to toilets, stormwater management) as well as non-technical (institutional capacities, governance, community participation and so on) aspects. Often, CSPs tend to primarily focus on technical aspects, however the non-technical aspects are essential as they act as forming the enabling environment for the successful implementation of the CSP- Therefore it should be noted that an integrated approach with regards to planning and preparing the document should be taken. The CSP should also be planned, based on a common set of principles, aligned to National flagship programmes.
