This is a conference paper. ; Population increase and migration into the cities have created some of the most serious environmental problems associated with what is often characterised as the 'brown agenda'. This agenda lists the main shortcomings, such as lack of adequate waste management, lack of safe water and minimal pollution control, often found in the most congested cities. Many of today's Third World cities are characterised by overcrowded housing, contaminated water, lack of proper sewage, drainage and waste collection, all of which contribute to unhealthy urban areas. Lack of effective waste management services can lead to serious health-hazards for all inhabitants within cities. In more recent years there have been important changes in attitudes among stakeholders such as local government, NGOs/CBOs and citizens in the collection and processing of waste specifically in India. The purpose of this following paper is therefore in light of the WEDC conference topic entitled 'Sanitation (Solid Waste Management) and Water for all' which should raise the question how do we provide effective and efficient solid waste management services to 'all'? This paper highlights one of the key actors in assisting to try to provide SWM services to 'all' namely Non-Government and CommunityBased Organisations specifically within the context of India.

This is a conference paper. ; This project focused on the planning and implementation of action research on alternative strategies for environmental sanitation and waste management in six peri-urban coastal communities in south Asia. Five universities and five NGOs from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, The Netherlands and Finland1 cooperated with local Governments. This project developed as a result of the need for more research in the area of sanitation. The reader should be aware that this paper represents the processed used and the outcomes from an evaluation of this project. The objectives of this project were to measure the (1) cost-effectiveness of innovative and replicable approaches to excreta and solid waste management in low income peri-urban settlements; (2) to measurably improve sanitation conditions and practices; (3) to scale up the tested approaches; (4) and to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation and implementation skills of the participating research and civic society institutions. The project used participatory methods to promote the adoption of improved sanitation and hygiene. Local women were trained to produce and install sanitation facilities, generate work and income and improve their status. Innovations were toilets and rainwater harvesting tanks built by local women masons, including lower cost toilets, water tanks and eco-latrines, home composting and vermi composting. The research used an experimental design of three study and three control communities.

This is a conference paper. ; The Action Research for Learning programme was a three-year initiative (2013–2015), led by IRC, to improve the effectiveness of existing hygiene promotion and community empowerment programmes of selected local Dutch WASH Alliance partners in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana and Uganda. In Ethiopia and Bangladesh, the focus was on hygiene promotion, while in Ghana and Uganda the focus was on community empowerment interventions. The objective of this paper is to give an understanding of how this Action Research for Learning took place and helped in strengthening the capacities of the selected partners for action research, analysis, reporting and learning; to enhance community-based monitoring of WASH services; and to promote understanding, harmonisation and coordination among district and local governments and local NGOs for effective community empowerment in WASH.
