IIHS-led TNUSSP supports GoTN and cities in making improvements along the entire urban sanitation value chain.

Joined September 2016
The first cohort of Catalysing Urban Systems Change has begun their learning journey. This diverse cohort of practitioners, researchers, and leaders are engaging with the complexities of large-scale urban programmes — drawing on lessons from the Tamil Nadu Urban Sanitation Support Programme. Bringing expertise from organisations including NuSocia, Aga Khan Foundation, Hasiru Dala, Janaagraha, Climate Trends, PHIA Foundation, eGov Foundation, Praxis and more—these participants are connecting practice with systemic change. Rooted in the TNUSSP experience, which transformed the urban sanitation chain across Tamil Nadu, the course offers insights into how development practitioners can enable equitable, resilient, and inclusive change in complex urban systems.
