“I worked closely with Amri for 2 years. Amri is a go-getter with immense potential and dedication. When Amri started working at Khan Academy India, we had a single major donor, no philanthropy strategy, and few donor prospects. Amri identified prospects, pitched Khan Academy programs, and built strong relationships, which led to multi-year CSR commitments totaling ~USD $5 million. Amri has an eye for detail, too, which I’ve found to be rare amongst philanthropy professionals who tend to focus on the ‘big picture.’ Amri led the charge during two grant compliance audits, which included a high degree of scrutiny of performance metrics and benchmarks in carrying out Khan Academy’s educational programs. I highly recommend Amri for any role she is interested in. ”

The purpose of this document is to help ISC inform the Government sanitation schemes at the national and state levels, and examine the significance of sustainability, knowledge flows, community-led approaches, sanitation technology, media, and financial innovations.
SBM has ushered in changes in the way sanitation is perceived and sanitation programmes are executed. It has got the bureaucratic and political priority required for adequate planning and execution. This has in most places translated into people’s movements for sanitation
as well. However, there are many issues and challenges for effective implementation in terms of behaviour change initiatives for promoting toilet usage, quality and sustainability, lack of localized and affordable technology, and lack of inclusiveness. Some of the recommendations are to have an integrated approach, utilizing private sector human resources and expertise for project management and financing, bridge financing, operationalizing RALUs (Rapid Action and Learning Units), and pragmatic district-level planning.Other authors -
