Renovation of Mobile Toilets in Rural Areas of Jiangxi
The renovation of mobile toilets in rural areas of Jiangxi should be carried out around action plans, key tasks, operational guidelines, and technical service guidance, as detailed below:
I. Objectives of the Action Plan In 2026, launch the 'Management and Maintenance Crucial Year' campaign to establish a work system characterized by 'rectification in place, new construction in compliance, long-term management and maintenance, and efficient utilization', achieving 'two comprehensives and three batches':
- Comprehensive Rectification Completion: Establish a 'one household, one file' ledger for problematic toilets in rural permanent households identified in the 2025 survey, specifying responsible persons, measures, and timelines, with dynamic clearance by the end of 2026.
- Establish a Management and Maintenance System: Create a standardized, normalized, and socialized long-term operation and maintenance mechanism covering aspects such as fecal sludge removal and facility maintenance.
- Promote New Construction and Renovation: Complete the new construction and renovation of toilets for a batch of permanent households, enhance the functionality of toilets in 'four integrations and one commonality' pilot villages (such as ventilation, anti-seepage, and water conservation), and explore models for the resource utilization of fecal sludge.
II. Implementation of Key Tasks
- Rectification of Problematic Toilets
- Implement a cancellation management system at the township level for issues identified in the 2025 survey to ensure rectification quality.
- For toilets in pilot villages in 2026 that require upgrades, develop personalized plans in line with village aesthetics to optimize functionality and appearance.
- Standardization of New Toilet Construction
- Identify the needs of households without toilets and those building new houses, establishing a closed-loop management system with 'three lists' (demand, construction, and responsibility).
- Provide differentiated design plans, guiding the selection of toilet models and eco-friendly materials suitable for local climate and geological conditions, with strict construction supervision.
- Long-term Management and Maintenance Mechanism
- Clarify the scope, standards, procedures, and incentive and penalty mechanisms for management and maintenance, implementing a 'five-fixed responsibility' model (fixed personnel, posts, responsibilities, standards, and incentives and penalties).
- Establish a collaborative responsibility system involving farmers, villages, townships, and professional institutions, and improve digital governance.
III. Technical Support and Training
- Expert Guidance: In September 2026, expert teams from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will visit various locations in Jiangxi to provide technical services, answer technical queries on-site, and hold provincial training sessions to interpret standards and models.
- Business Training: Jinxian County and other regions will organize standardized technical training, focusing on explaining policy highlights, construction standards, quality control, and ledger filing, to enhance the practical skills of grassroots personnel.
IV. Exploration of Resource Utilization Promote the transition of fecal sludge from 'treatment' to 'utilization', exploring replicable models for the resource utilization of fecal sludge in line with the demands of green agricultural development to support ecological circulation.
