The document discusses a lack of access to safe water, hygiene, and sanitation in India which leads to diseases and economic losses. It notes that conventional approaches to improving WASH have been ineffective and do not address women's needs. The "Pan in the Van" approach is proposed as a women-centric, mobile solution using a van equipped with audiovisual tools, demonstrations, and a resource team. The approach involves a 3-day camp providing planning, capacity building, and follow up to help communities achieve and maintain total sanitation in a cost-effective manner. Evaluation of initial camps showed improved women's participation, demand generation, and addressing supply chain issues.

Nimble Framework - Software architecture and design in agile eratjain
The document discusses principles and guidelines for creating software architecture in an agile environment. It presents three "thought layers" to guide architectural decision making: framework, techniques, and patterns. The framework thought layer involves aligning with enterprise guidelines and understanding requirements. The techniques layer covers major technical decisions. The patterns layer provides coding and design guidelines. It emphasizes that processes are not prescriptive, and decisions should be revisited regularly. Tools like the "obesity matrix" and "Cynefin framework" can help evaluate and visualize architectural choices. The overall approach is to create simple, reliable architectures through collective ownership and reasoning over rituals.
1) Hemoglobinopathies are inherited disorders affecting hemoglobin structure or production, ranging from asymptomatic to fatal. The most common types are sickle cell disease and thalassemias.
2) Thalassemias are caused by deficient production of globin chains, leading to imbalanced globin synthesis and red blood cell damage. Beta thalassemias result from low beta chain production while alpha thalassemias involve alpha chains.
3) Clinical features vary by specific disorder from mild anemia to transfusion-dependent anemia and organ damage. Management involves treatment of complications, transfusions, chelation therapy, and in severe cases, stem cell transplant.

Assessment of socio-economic, institutional and political constraints and opportunities for RiceAdvice scaling out and up. By: Espérance ZOSSOU. IS/IP Specialist, AfricaRice
Background/Question/Methods
Environmental problems are by definition social problems and so it follows that progress towards a future that is sustainable for both the natural world and the people that rely on it requires close collaboration between ecologists and social scientists. It also requires that research problems and methods be framed jointly with those able to implement sustainability actions. Understanding what factors promote successful collaborations among such teams is an active area of research that has only recently been formalized as “the science of team science”. In 2011, the U.S. National Science Foundation funded a national center – the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) – to build capacity to undertake inter- and transdisciplinary research and accelerate team progress in solving critical socio-ecological problems.
Results/Conclusions
This talk will describe: 1) the application of theory and ideas used to design the programs and operational strategy of the center; and 2) mechanisms for evaluating and adapting center processes; and 3) early outcomes from teams of researchers. We highlight the lessons learned that helped to promote productive collaborations and positive team experiences.

This document summarizes discussions from a national conference on women-led water management in rural India. [1] Key frameworks and strategies were discussed to promote women's participation in water sustainability efforts, including policy changes, capacity building, institutional support, and ensuring economic independence. [2] Groups also discussed the roles of government institutions, civil society, and enabling an environment for women in decision-making around water management and sanitation. [3] Research needs identified included better understanding women's water roles at the community level, the link between water security and development, and developing gender-friendly sanitation technologies.
1) The document discusses women-led water governance and irrigation management in West Bengal, India.
2) It outlines various traditional human-powered irrigation techniques commonly used by women farmers in the region, such as swinging baskets and treadle pumps.
3) However, women's participation in irrigation governance is still limited, and the document recommends establishing quotas for women in water user groups to promote greater involvement in decision making.
This document reviews gender and capacity building initiatives in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programs in India. It finds that [1] training programs do not adequately cover gender and equity issues and there is a gap between policies and practices. It also finds that [2] training participants and trainers are mostly men, with limited female participation. Finally, it finds that [3] training content is gender blind and does not include dedicated content on gender sensitization or issues like menstrual hygiene. It recommends a thorough review of training curricula from a gender and equity perspective to make capacity building more inclusive.

The document summarizes a conference presentation on empowering women through affordable water technologies in India. It discusses how women currently shoulder the burden of collecting water, which takes time away from other activities. Various water treatment technologies being implemented through DST initiatives are empowering women by making water more accessible. These include RO plants, arsenic removal, rainwater harvesting, and river bank filtration. The projects have improved health outcomes and saved time by bringing water sources closer to communities.

The document discusses the Women Led Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) led by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation in India. [1] It notes that poor sanitation impacts women's health, education, safety, dignity, and privacy the most. [2] The initiative aims to create open defecation free villages through a saturation approach ensuring all households and public places have toilets. [3] It focuses on demand generation, gender perspectives, and involving women as change agents to promote sanitation and hygiene.
This document analyzes women's participation in the Jalswarajya water project in Maharashtra, India. It finds that while the project mandated 50% women's participation, their involvement was often superficial and did not meaningfully empower women or address gender inequalities. Rural elites still controlled project information and resources. Women's roles were often proxies for their caste groups rather than representatives advocating for women. The project failed to sustain women's empowerment activities after implementation or address underlying power imbalances around caste and class. It concludes that true gender equality in water governance requires more than quotas and must directly confront social norms that exclude women.
S5 1 niranjan women and water in vulnerable rural households-revisedSehgal Foundation
This document discusses assessing the vulnerability of rural households to lack of adequate water supply for domestic and productive needs. It proposes developing a composite vulnerability index based on 6 sub-indices: 1) water supply and use, 2) family occupation, 3) social institutions, 4) climate, 5) water resources, and 6) financial stability. The index was tested in 3 villages in India with values ranging from 2.21 to 6.58, indicating varying vulnerability among households based on their water access and livelihood factors. The study found vulnerability was highest in Kerkatta village due to water scarcity and influenced by household economy. The index could help target water supply interventions and surveillance.

2. Problem
Lack of safe water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) lead to diseases
(80% of over all diseases) and economic losses.
1.5 million Children (under 5) die every due to poor WASH and by
2015, 2.7 billion people will be without access to basic sanitation.
Status of WASH in India is poor with 31% (year 2009) population
access to improved sanitation and 665 million people defecate in
open. 700,000 die each year from diarrhea (WHO) and national
losses of USD 53.8 billion in (WSP 2006).
Despite huge investments, the failures can be attributed ineffective
approaches to improve WASH.
Needs of women remains a low priority in many parts of the world
3. Challenges -Women Centric Format
Reach
Time Schedule
Place to discuss the issues (privacy)
Can not go outside
Two way communication
Increasing Work-load or develop leadership
Need friendly Technological solutions
hand-holding at the local level
Socio cultural issues
education /literacy
exposure
Reason to meet-group regularly
On job Training
Enabling Decision making environment
Economics
Children and family
4. Context & Need
Prevailing Approaches For WASH
Monotonous and ad-hock
Perhaps not designed to address the strategic needs of women i.e. key role in planning, management and
monitoring
There are chances of exclusion of the needy recipient of the message as the most of the strategies are based
on the Off-site Approach / TOT
Conventional approaches take a piece meal path & fail to see local needs, comprehensively.
The approaches do not ensure forward and backward linkages at community level.
The CLTS has emerged as a better approach to sensitize community and initiative collective actions. However,
it is realized that in want of post trigger support or tackling local governance issues, not much progress is
achieved.
5. The Approach
Pan denotes hardware and Van is equipped with audio video aid, IEC tools & games, technological
options, exhibits and resource team
The 4 step approach offers complete package for achieving & maintaining total sanitation cost
effectively
It facilitates planning, IEC ,Capacity building of institutions and service providers , creation of
demand , support implementation, review and post trigger in a synchronised way

20. Evaluation of the approach
Achievement
Tools are developed and tested
100 nos 3-4 Days Camps are organised.
5 Districts, 80 Panchayats and
covered Over 200000 women, men and children.
Formal evaluation of 3 days camps findings :-
Participation of women in governance and village WASH plans improved due to effective BBC and
invoked interest
Features like, separate opportunity for women through separate tent, women time friendly
schedules (they could participate as per their free hours without affecting their work or livelihood)
ensured participation and contribution in real manner
The retention of messages was longer and it helped substantially to generate demand
Solution to addressing supply chain issues helped in creating proactive environment

23. Tentative Cost of Operations /Estimate
The per household WASH hardware cost (including government support) is USD
200 and as per government norms $ 30 (15%) are required on software. The
suggested solution above needs $ 6 (3.3 %of Hardware) per household for IEC
activities in more effective manner. The approach also ensures usage of the
created structures.
Scalability
Easy to Monitor
Tentative – One block (74 Panchayats require 1.8 year to cover with one unit
Initial set up INR 20-25 lacks
24. Evaluation of the approach
