An estimated 20-30% of funds and materials are diverted from sanitation programmes in South India due to corruption, experts have estimated. The Socio-Economic Unit Foundation (SEUF) has successfully employed a number of anti-corruption strategies in a participatory and community-based household sanitation programme, serving more than 200.000 families in 200 Panchayats (communities). It has become a model for many other regions in India.
