The factors that lead to this poor sanitation situation in the city include:

Low priority given to sanitation because of lack of awareness regarding its linkages to public health
Fragmented institutional roles and responsibilities
Lack of integrated approach in dealing with the problem
Lack of consideration to the user perspectives in dealing with sanitation issues

The document proposes the need for development of a city sanitation task force that involves mobilisation of stakeholders at every level and specifying legal and regulatory institutional mechanisms to reach the goal of making a clean and open defecation free city.
