A Performance- based Incentive Grant Scheme, as part of SBM (G), is proposed to be launched through World Bank support credit funds. The performance of the States will be gauged through certain performance indicators, called the Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs). Following are three DLIs.
1. Reduction in the prevalence of open defecation: The funds under this result area shall be released to the States on the basis of reduction in prevalence of open defecation amongst rural households in the State, compared to the previous year.
2. Sustaining Open Defecation Free (ODF) status in Villages: The funds under this result area, shall be released on the basis of estimated population residing in ODF villages,
3. Increase in percentage of rural population served by improved Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM): The funds under this DLI will be based on the population served with acceptable level of SLWM services.
The States will pass on a substantial portion (more than 95 percent) of the Performance Incentive Grant Funds received from the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, to the appropriate implementing levels of districts, Blocks, GPs etc. The end-use of the incentive grants will be limited to activities pertaining to the sanitation sector.
