What are the main project aims and elements?
The Urban Water Supply and Environmental Improvement in Madhya Pradesh—Project UDAY
—has sought to address the problems of inadequate urban infrastructure and degradation of the environment in four cities of Madhya Pradesh, one of the poorest states in India, namely Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, and Jabalpur. Its purpose is to provide basic services of water supply, sanitation, and garbage collection and disposal in these cities. Indirectly, it seeks to promote better living conditions for its citizens—including the enhancement of sustainable economic growth, with a view to reducing the vulnerability of people to environmental degradation, poverty, and natural hazards—and to improve economic opportunities.
Three broad outputs were identified: (i) urban water supply and environmental improvement; (ii) a public participation and awareness program, including the enhancement of community-based inputs for environmental management, capacity building, and training and livelihoods; and (iii) project implementation assistance via support to the state project management unit (PMU) and city project implementation units (PIUs) for relevant activities.² With respect to assessing interventions relevant to the mainstreaming of gender concerns, the self-help groups (SHGs), water and sanitation, and public participation components are significant.
Delivery of clean water and sanitation services. The lack of access to a reliable in-house water supply is a major correlate of poverty and impedes socioeconomic development in these cities. The objectives are to (i) provide 24-hour access to a treated water supply for 5.6 million people (83% of the population of the four project towns), (ii) give access to sewerage and sanitation to 1.6 million people, (iii) reduce the volume of waste water discharged to storm drains by 60%, (iv) provide flood protection to 1.1 million people, (v) provide solid-waste management services with sanitary disposal to 4.7 million people, and (vi) provide basic urban services to people residing in 75 slum areas. Consequently, these residents should have lower water expenses, reduced health expenses for waterborne diseases, and fewer expenses for flood damage recovery (measured against 2003 levels).
Public participation. The project assists and enables local residents to form community group committees (CGCs) that provide vigilance while the new
