The selected agency will conduct a survey to identify gaps in waste management, assess existing sanitation facilities, and prepare an action plan in consultation with GNIDA, the RFP document states.The NGO will also work to promote waste segregation at source, discourage the use of single-use plastic, littering and waste burning, and encourage residents to adopt sustainable waste management practices.Its outreach activities will include street plays, rallies, school competitions, awareness campaigns and training sessions for residents, Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), village communities, sanitation workers and other stakeholders.The agency will also map waste collection points, bulk waste generators and waste management infrastructure using geo-tagging and GIS-based technology. It will monitor door-to-door waste collection, roadside garbage clearance, drain cleaning and the functioning of public and community toilets.As part of its monitoring duties, the NGO will inspect public toilets, community toilets, urinals and other sanitation facilities. It will also track the performance of waste management contractors through the integrated command and control centre, submit geo-tagged photographs and maintain daily records of inspections and complaints.In addition, the agency will assist GNIDA with documentation, data management and preparations for Swachh Survekshan and Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan.
