26 5.4 Challenges encountered and resolved during of the implementation sanitation programme in the sub project areas of Mannar District; Delay in obtaining approval from relevant authorities (PS, DS & MOH offices) to get building and PHI approval Most of the selected beneficiaries are poorest people so they faced difficulties to contribute their financial support towards completion of their toilet Lack of the transport facilities to the remote villages Unexpected inclement weather Scarcity of Masons and skill labour in the sub project Construction progress has been delayed due to seasonal farming and activities of seasonal income generation Women headed household beneficiaries find difficulties to contribute their physical and financial support towards completion of their toilet though the CBO assisted them in various ways. Showing poor / no interest on incentive grants (Rs. 18,000.00) and expecting full grant for toilet construction with the donor driven construction. Poor interest in any owner driven construction approaches. NGO intervention with different approaches - There are some NGOs who implement their sanitation programmes in the same areas with supply driven approach. These NGOs provide the entire cost of the toilet which discourages communities to involve in the sanitation programme implemented by the project. 5.5 School Sanitation The following activities curried out for School Sanitation programme before commence the construction.

45 The people of this area had been displaced this area on several times and resettled, during the last 30 years of war. Owing to this, we have to face several challenges and discharge out duties promptly. To wit; - Homeless only temporary shelters - Lake of livelihood opportunities - Mental depression - Members of family is scattered - Deserving and prioritized need for toilets then even housing - Less institutional support Institutions are not sufficiently established - Less neighborhood coordination - Weak in organizational supports - Developed dependency syndrome - Social degradation - Lake of formal leadership - Extreme poverty - Less coordination among stakeholder institutions People here live in two hamlets Palampiddy and Thattchamarandamadu and are farmers. We can say that this project definitely strengthened our relations. With incomplete housing, the community has been feeling like refugees. This project in comparison proceeded with community knowledge and participation; people feel empowered because they can take decisions, save money and are confident that livelihood development, education and computer skill development and support programme for the disabled can be organized by WUA.
