New eligible households will be provided incentive @ Rs.12000 per household for construction of IHHL, which is the existing norm of financial incentive. Only new eligible households will be provided the incentive money. Ineligible households will be motivated to construct the toilet on their own. The Community Sanitary Complex has been renamed as Community Managed Sanitation Complex (CMSC). The financial assistance for the CMSC has been enhanced from Rs.2,00,000/- to Rs. 3,00,000/- with sharing of 30% funds from 15th Finance Commission grants to Rural Local Bodies, and remaining 70% under SBM(G). Provision for IEC and Capacity Building will be at 5% of total project cost, with 2% to be utilised at the Central level (Government of India level) and 3% at State/district level. Provision for administrative cost will be 1% of the project cost. Under SBM-G Phase II, block and district level interventions have also been introduced for certain activities related to SLWM. Generally, funding for SLWM will be on a per capita basis instead of earlier provision based on the number of households in a GP. While 30% of the funding for village level SLWM activities will be from 15th Finance Commission grants, the remaining 70% will be borne under SBM(G). However, for some activities such as Plastic Waste Management at block level and model GOBAR-dhan projects at district level, there will be a fixed amount of financial assistance for a block and a district. For the first time, 50% funds of 15th Finance Commission grants to rural local bodies is earmarked for water and sanitation as tied funds.

The main objectives of SBM(G) Phase-II are : Maintaining the ODF status of the villages, Gram Panchayats, Blocks, Districts and States over a continued period of time Ensuring that people continuously use the toilets built and practice safe and hygienic behaviours Ensuring that villages have access to SLWM arrangements for overall cleanliness in rural areas Bringing about an improvement in the general quality of life in the rural areas

The main activities are : (i) Construction of Individual Household Latrines (IHHL) (ii) Construction of Community Managed Sanitation Complexes (CMSCs) (iii) Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) activities (iv) Continued Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) and Capacity Strengthening at all levels

The SBM(G) Phase II would focus on reinforcing the Jan andolan on sanitation by engaging everyone in the task of sustaining the ODF outcomes achieved and supporting villages with effective SLWM arrangements. The strategy provides flexibility at State and District level regarding implementation of the programme as per their local needs within the framework of Phase II guidelines. The Government of India would provide overall funding support, coordination and monitoring.
