Project Sammaan Website Improvements

The Project Sammaan communications team has spent the past several weeks making improvements to this website in the interest of increasing the amount of project-related information we’re sharing.

Above and beyond minor aesthetic tweaks such as updating the images used and adding social network connections for the blog’s authors, there are three significant improvements that we felt compelled to call out: a repository of resources and project documents that visitors can download, a map that identifies the locations of every individual facility we intend on building in both Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, and a ‘search’ feature that allows visitors to navigate the site’s content much easier.

The addition of these information and accessibility touch-points furthers the mandate to be as open and transparent with the project as possible. As Sammaan is largely an experiment at scale, sharing the experience is paramount, and the hope is that our learnings over the course of this project will help guide others in their efforts to advance the cause of improved sanitation for India’s urban slum communities.

We will continue to update this site as the project progresses, especially now that breaking ground on the initial sites is in the very near future.
