i] To understand the structure in place for meeting the goals in either of the districts and what extra efforts are being made and how those are being made in order to put the districts (In case of the Aspirational districts) and the villages (in case of VSTF) in higher as well as the right growth path considering the issues of equity, inclusiveness and the specific context of the area. This will also require understanding of the processes, the performances and what actually works and in what conditions.

ii] Good cases will also be collected to analyse what are working and to understand what are replicable through what interventions. The cases of failures will also be analysed to assess what did not work and how to avoid the situation.

iii] The lessons learnt will be used to understand the required systemic/structural improvement and the building capacity of the system as well as the key functionaries so that there is both required systemic improvement as well as there is more capacity to deliver with more accountability and participation.

iv] While the earlier objectives are more on general understanding of the new approaches and how those could be strengthened, there will be also 3rd party concurrent monitoring of the status of ODF sustainability and implementation of ODF sustainability plan and the status of drinking water supply as an independent component. The proposed monitoring will be carried out over a period of next 12 months.
