The organization was formed in 2002 by a few local residents,who mobilized the rest of the community and took up the responsibility of managing the waste generated in the ward. The project was implemented with funding from Puducherry municipality. A team of 30 members – a manager, a supervisor, 24 female sanitation workers known as ‘beautifiers’ and four residents – formed the core of the project. Capacity-building workshops among the staff and sanitation workers were organized to create awareness about principles of alternative SWM and to improve their perception and solid-waste handling skills. Follow-up outreach programs were organized from time to time to keep them committed to their respective roles and responsibilities. The roles and responsibilities of each staff member were well-defined and distributed. The core team had the overall responsibility of evolving strategies and operational plans, of building collaboration with the government and other service providers, conducting monthly reviews and analysis of existing standards, formulating and controlling the budget, participating in professional group meetings, emergency planning, inspection, and developing research work. The core team collectively delegated responsibilities to execute the policy and plan, co-ordination and maintenance for ensuring the community’s involvement, staff management (recruitmentand training), identification of current issues and deficiencies, payment procedures, complaints reports, purchasing and replacing equipment, and documentation through a dedicated manager. The supervisor was responsible for ensuring day-to-day staff support, safety standards, public relationships, inspection of the area, maintenance of the equipment and the waste logbook. Sanitation workers executed tasks outlined by the supervisor, gave feedback on the state of the roads, segregation by residents and equipment failure, and maintained good relationships withcommunity members.
