‘To ensure effective implementation of policies addressing water, sanitation and hygiene needs, the identification of beneficiary segments is to be synchronized with the anticipated outcomes’ Examine the statement in the context of the WASH scheme. (150 words)

For effective implementation, innovative strategies need to be deployed:
1. what are the areas, where we have frequent water, sanitation and hygiene issues, historical data, geographical data will help us identification of beneficiaries. once identified, proper outcome plan need to be made by local self government institutions like panchayat and munciipalities
2. identificiation of beneficiaries using moving caravans all over the city, traget locations like hospitals, colleges, schools and other institutions where chances of dumping garabage is maximum. Such institutions to have representatives . frequent meeting with them by district collectors for better outcome
3. mass rallies (swachhta pakhwad was one suhc initiaitve) to identify beneficiaries: outcomes to be achiveed by registering online compliants
4. scientific tools like data mining, robots etc for identification of beneficiaries.

*Question was on how will you check the effectiveness of the scheme? (even if you identify the beneficiaries, how will ensure that you are getting results:
** few points are ok like- meetig with district collectors, registering online complaints, data mining etc
*** you can also add few more points like- 100% eliminiation of a water borne disease like cholera in certain district by 2019 or so..(recently we eliminated trachoma)
