<h1>Integrated water and sanitation management: prioritize outcome-based financing, community-led delivery, pricing reform, and verification mechanisms.</h1> The seminar advocated a holistic, integrated approach combining infrastructure, behavioural change, outcome-based financing and public participation to sustain water and sanitation services. It promoted community-led, decentralized drinking water delivery under the Swajal model with government facilitation, independent verification of sanitation outcomes, pricing reforms to align financial and social objectives, subsidies targeted to connections, and use of proven low-cost technologies to scale interventions.
