Program
Formulation
Launched in March 1989 by IDA and financial assistance was
provided by Overseas Development administration(ODA) of
British Government.
Functional Assessment
Improving sanitation and the
environment.
Upgrading city drainage system by using
slum network as starting point .
Linkage between old city sewerage with
the new pipe sanitation.
Channelling the clean treated water into
nearly dying rivers.
Philosophical Framework
The approach was from the designing body together with
community participation from building of houses to
maintaining them. Also many NGOs were involved in the
whole process.
Views and suggestions of the residents were also taken
into consideration.
The network created by the infrastructure resulted in
housing upgradation through the following physical
improvements: roads and footpaths, storm drainage,
sanitation and sewerage, water supply, earthworks and
landscaping, street lighting management and the removal of
solid waste
A community hall was built for social, economic, cultural
and educational improvement.
Users
28% of the slum population.
Technical Assessment
Prior to the improvement program, the
polluted waterways flies.
were breeding
Once thegrounds
piped
for mosquitos and sewerage system was
built, it was possible to
clean
the
rivers,
restore
historic
riverside
structures
and
landscape
the
banks
A key technique in
the
project
was
lowering the mud
roads before paving
them. The lowered
streets
and
pathways serve as
natural
drainage
channels
during
heavy rainstorms as
well as reduce the

Transforming Slums and Transcending Poverty without Aid
with an Innovative Water and Sanitation Paradigm
AhmedabadParivartan
An integrated approach to development is steadily
reaping results in Ahmedabad, Gujarats largest city.
Slum communities, as target beneficiaries, have
joined hands with government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to
improve the slums and mainstream them with the city.
Parivartan (Change), as the project has been
christened, is changing the lives of slum dwellers, who
now have better access to water, sanitation,
education, health, and livelihood opportunities. Thirtyfour slum areas covering approximately 11,500
households have already benefited from the initiative,
which is currently under way in another 13 areas.
