Accelerating WASH
implementing
WAI programme 2016
The WASH Alliance International envisions a world where all people have access to and make use of sustainable water and sanitation services that they can afford, and where all people can live under hygienic conditions to improve their health, dignity and economic living standard.
This information will soon be available
The WAI programme 2016 will work on three integrated pillars:
1. Developing a functioning and enabling WASH market, in which the private sector is providing quality products and services at an affordable price and in which the financial sector facilitates the access and use of finance for entrepreneurs and consumers.
2. Developing an enabling public sector for WASH, in which the government takes up its responsibility as duty bearer, creates a supportive policy and regulatory environment for sustainable WASH services for all, with strong M&E (Monitoring & Evaluation) frameworks and allocates sufficient budget for WASH.
3. Empowering, informing and organising citizens for sustainable WASH: informed citizens will demand, participate and pay for sustainable WASH services and practice healthy hygienic behaviour; organised citizens will claim high quality WASH services from the market; and empowered citizens hold the government accountable for delivering quality WASH services for all.
The WAI programme 2016 will be together with partners: Amref, WASTE, RAIN, Akvo and about several local NGO’s in the countries Bangladesh, Nepal, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Mali. Simavi is the lead agency of the WAI, the programme is managed by the WASH Alliance Management Unit located at Simavi.
In 2016 the WAI’s main objective will be to strengthen our position as an innovative player in the international WASH Sector, focusing on sustainability & acceleration. We will work on the following sub-objectives:
1.Diversify and expand our funding base, both internationally and in the countries, to a total of €19 mln Euro in 2017
2.Provision of safe water to an additional 140.000 people and improved sanitation to an additional 160.000 people against €18,- per person
3.Learn and innovate on sustainability and acceleration.
Financial sustainability ensures the continuity in the delivery of products and services related to water, sanitation and hygiene.
This means that the activities are locally financed (e.g. taxes, local fees, local financing) and do not depend on external (foreign) subsidies.
Institutional sustainability ensures that WASH systems, institutions, policies and procedures at the local level are functional and meet the demand of users of WASH services.
Environmental sustainability ensures the management of water and sanitation resources for current and future generations.
Technical sustainability is about locally appropriate technologies.
Social sustainability ensures that the appropriate social conditions and prerequisites are realized and sustained.
Our operational areas were chosen because these areas had less access to WASH services than the general access levels in these countries, or in other words, we selected areas with more marginalized people. In these areas we target everyone, as only with full coverage the impact of WASH services on the health of people and the environment can be fully achieved.

Geblen WASH
implementing
initiative
Geblen Tabia has a total population of 3,643 people with 819 households. It has one of the lowest water access rates of the region, which exposes it to poor hygiene and sanitation practices. The community is located in a rugged terrain within a semi-arid climate (400 mm annual rainfall). During the dry season, women walk for 4 hours to fetch water.
Geblen Tabia was identified as a community with extreme water supply constraints. HELVETAS and RAIN in collaboration with local stakeholders have initiated and completed in 2015 the Geblen Integrated Rainwater Harvesting Project (GIRHP). The project successfully introduced roof water harvesting cisterns in 25 households and all cisterns have harvested water in 2015. The community and local stakeholders have highly appreciated the cisterns as best solution for drinking water supply and have asked HELVETAS and RAIN to continue the project with similar interventions. Geblen has a total population of 3,643 people (52.8% females) and 819 households of which 405 are women headed. The community has one of the lowest water access rates of the region with 33% coverage only. The community is located in a rugged terrain within a semi-arid climate with average annual rainfall of 400 mm. Women walk for 4 hours to fetch water. Hence, household water supply, and improved WASH are of highest priority
1.1 40 households have improved access to drinking water due to their roof water harvesting systems
a) Identify in a participatory manner 40 households with severe drinking water constraints
b) Organise sourcing and delivery of equipment and construction materials to the project site
c) Facilitate construction of 40 Kalamino water harvesting cisterns
1.2 20 landless youth will be trained as village technicians and equipped to construct roof water harvesting systems
a) Identify and select 20 landless youth (4 women) from the Geblen community as village technicians
b) Train the identified youth and equip them for the construction of roof water harvesting systems
1.3 4 Community Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Committees (WASHCO) are trained and equipped to sustainably manage and maintain the cisterns
a) Facilitate formation and establishment of WASHCO
b) Train WASHCO in the operation and maintenance of the roof water harvesting systems
c) Equip WASHCO with basic maintenance materials
2.1 1,600 people of the project community have enhanced their WASH practices
a) Conduct for rounds of awareness raising and training hygiene & sanitation
2.2 The Tabia Administration and the WRDO are strengthened to implement and promote activities related to water and WASH
a) Define roles and responsibilities of the Geblen Tabia Administration and the WRDO in the coordination and service provision of water and WASH related matters
b) Provide training to Geblen Tabia Administration and WDRO in WASH extension & service delivery
c) Facilitate the Geblen Tabia Administration and WRDO in water & WASH extension & service delivery and in the organization of knowledge sharing and experience exchange events
The project will contribute towards improved drinking water supply and WASH practices in the community of Geblen Tabia, and will enhance the institutional WASH service delivery capacities in Sasie Tsada Emba (STE) Woreda
1) Projects are substantially and progressively co-financed by local stakeholders. Beneficiaries contribute substantially to the cost of the roof water harvesting systems; subsidies are linked to the socio-economic status of the beneficiaries (disadvantaged households)
2) Local entrepreneurs and companies take up an increasing and serious role in the provision of WASH services. Village technicians are expected to make their “business case” out of the construction of water systems.
1) A mandated local party, that is responsible for the delivery of services and/or products, and that represents especially the interests of the weakest stakeholders, has a leading role. At community level, WASHCO are set up; while the Government provides WASH services through its (District) Water Resource Development and Health Offices.
2) The interests of the different stakeholders in the WASH chain are structurally incorporated and met. Roof water harvesting is for household purposes; however, at the same time, the project engages in activities to promote more efficient Water4Food methods/approaches.
1) The project has at its base knowledge of the hydrological, ecological and socio-economic situation of the (smallest) relevant catchment level in which the intervention takes place. This is ensured with/through the involvement of concerned Government bodies.
2) The project involves the analysis of the impact of the interventions on the environment and the immediate environment of the target by means of an Environmental Impact Assessment. The project preferably has a positive impact on the environment, but should have no negative effect on it. An EIA is to be done with the concerned Government body. Roof water harvesting has no negative impact on the environment; further Water4Food interventions impact the environment positively.
1) Sustainable availability of the hardware / technology is based on a viable business model. That is, the activities of the actors in the chain of supply, installation and maintenance do have enough financial incentive to sustain the services. This is a core objective of the project
2) Proposed technology is produced or procured, installed and maintained by the local private sector. All material is locally procured; construction/installation is done by village technicians.
1) The project is demand driven and aimed at provision of basic services on the basis of rights based approaches and enhances empowerment (of women and marginalized groups). This is in line with the approaches of HELVETAS and its projects.
2) The project includes concrete actions to ensure that the interests of all groups in society, including women and especially the marginalized, are taken into account. The project puts special focus on women headed households. HELVETAS has a binding Gender & Social Equity (GSE) policy and strategy for its projects.
• 40 households (20 women headed) will install rainwater harvesting cisterns for drinking water supply
• 1,600 persons will get awareness raising and training on improved WASH practices
• 20 landless youth, including 4 women, will acquire skills as village technicians to construct roof water harvesting cisterns, and get paid work through this initiative

Student-Led School Sanitation and Hygiene
implementing
SLSSH
Student-Led School Sanitation and Hygiene (SLSSH) is a student hygiene and school sanitation project designed whereby students take the lead in the process of implementation. It is the students that initiate and lead change processes by establishing their own committees and setting their own bylaws to improve their school compound sanitation and students’ hygiene.
According to the DHS report (2011), 38.5% (45% rural and 16% urban) of the population in Ethiopia still defecates open where as 46% is using pit latrines without slabs. In Ethiopia, the country’s GTP targets, as outlined in the UAP and HSDP IV, are to achieve 100% access to basic sanitation, and 82% access to “improved sanitation,” by 2015. Further, HSDP IV calls for increasing the proportion of Open Defecation Free (ODF) Kebeles from 15 to 80%. The National Hygiene and Sanitation Strategic Action Plan for Ethiopia states that the promotion of improved sanitation facilities and safe hygiene practices is essential in schools and ideally should go hand-in-hand with community activities. Use of schools, parent-teacher associations and children themselves are powerful tools in promoting behavioural change and greater awareness of hygiene issues.
Most schools in Ethiopia are victims of this open defecation and poor sanitation and hygiene culture in the country.
Result 1.Targeted schools accessed with basic WASH facilities through rain water harvest
Activity 1.1. Renovation of roof rain water harvesting points in target schools to access clean water for SSH as well as school gardening
Activity 1.2. Facilitate construction and renovation of community managed pit latrines for schools with separate latrine for girls
Activity 1.3. Develop and purchase dry waste disposal point per the target schools
Activity 1.4. Provide basic sanitary materials which are not produced within schools
Activity 1.5. Provide basic agricultural hand tools
Result 2. Familiarized Student-Led School Sanitation and Hygiene in targeted primary
Activity 2.1. Conduct community Sanitization on SLSSH concept for community representatives (elders, PTSA)
Activity 2.2. Provide SLSSH concept orientation to the school community and school management (teachers, students, supervisors, schools admin.)
Activity 2.3. Conduct SLSSH implementation training to focal teachers and school principals
Activity 2.4. Establish SLSSH club in primary schools
Activity 2.5. Train 20 SLSSH Ambassador Students
Activity 2.6. Triggering the target schools’ community using the trained SLSSH Ambassadors:
Activity 2.7. Facilitate school Hygiene and Sanitation competition among the target schools and motivate the best ones with award
Result 3. Mainstreaming SLSSH in school co-curricular activities
Activity -3.1. Support schools with sport facilities to enhance sport for SLSSH and school development activities (purchase and provide balls and sports uniforms with a slogan and logo printed on it)
Activity 3.2. Support sport computations and festivals among schools to transmit SLSSH messages on the events
Activity -3.3. Support talent show activities with basic materials and equipment to transmit SLSSH message (purchase and provide cultural musical instruments, cultural clothes, provide stationeries)
Activity 3.4. Arrange talent show events and conduct competitions both in and among schools by the clubs to transmit SLSSH message
Result 4. Advocated for Student Led School Sanitation and Hygiene (SLSSH)
Activity 4.1. Organize sensitization workshop for higher officials, experts, or supervisors on the student-led school sanitation
Activity 4.2. Organize experience sharing visits for influential community and institutional leaders to the SLSSH targeted schools
The project Student-Led School Sanitation and Hygiene (SLSSH) is adopted to school setting from Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) to contribute to the effort of Ethiopian Ministry of Health to improve the sanitation and hygiene service and reach 82% of the population in sanitation and hygiene and Open defecation Free (OPF) society by 2015 and assured child friendly school environment through hygiene and sanitation intervention to contribute to the improvement of quality education
In implementing the Student-Led School Sanitation and Hygiene project different stake holders like PTSA, DEO, community leaders, WWCYA and others were actively involved. These partners can mobilize the surrounding communities, parents, investors and concerned government offices for fund raising.
The establishments of multi-stakeholder structures at the district level of the project implementation areas strengthen the link between implementing partners, project target communities, government and non-government organizations, and relevant stakeholders. DEC and the partners have actively engaged in the coordination of the WASH project activities at the targeted levels in the project intervention areas.
This project (the student-led school sanitation and hygiene) addresses different activities which are pro environment. For instance, for the purpose of making the school environment attractive, sensitized and colourful green clubs were established. These clubs grow seedlings in the school compounds to plant and as the time distributes to surrounding community so that they could plant the seedlings to protect environment. These all will be done by the rain water collected in the collection reservoirs. In addition, as it is the rain water that will be collected from roof during rainy season it does not hurt the environment; rather it protects soil erosion. Therefore, it could be said it contribute to land productivity.

Since the project Student-Led School Sanitation and Hygiene started to be implemented in the targeted schools different stakeholders (students, teachers, PTSAs, DEO, DHO, WWCYA and others) have learnt a lot about sanitation and hygiene through different awareness campaigns, introduction and rain water harvesting chambers and trainings organized by the WASH project. The community in the project area it has been common to see people use rain for sanitation and hygiene by collecting from surface, roof and ponds. Hence, the Rain Water Harvesting technology is an equitable and sustainable paradigm which has the potential of improving livelihood, health, sanitation and hygiene, especially among the most disadvantaged groups and school community.
The project will be implemented in 2 rural primary schools of Liben-Chukala located in East Shoa Zone of Oromia National Regional State. Here the school community (teachers, students and supporting staffs) will directly benefited from the intervention of this project.
As of the current data from the schools, +/- 2400 students and 90 teachers and supporting staffs will be addressed. Apparently, a total of +/- 15 000 community members will be indirectly benefited from the SLSSH project to be implemented in 3 primary schools.

Rain Water harvesting for MUS
implementing
Integrated Rain water harvesting technologies for MUS in Kitui
The proposed action seeks to increase access to and use of safe water for 500 people via run-off water and roof water harvesting technologies. It shall further develop methods towards acceleration through the County government through Lobby for investment in the WASH sector as well as the development of a water harvesting learning centre.
The proposed action shall be implemented in Kitui South Sub-County of Kitui. It lies under the MMF livelihood zone which as its name suggests, receive marginal rains. The region has a bimodal rainfall pattern with ranges between 400 –700 mm p.a and evaporation rates in excess of 2000mm p.a.
The main source of water for the community is scoop holes along the Wiitu stream in which SASOL has built a cascade of 10 sand dams. Water availability increased greatly following construction of the sand dams. However, there is need for digging and installation of off-take wells to at least avail safe water to the community. They have also led to increased ground recharge as evidenced by a greening effect along the stream. The vegetation along the cascade of sand dams has been observed to have become greener in the recent past in comparison before the sand dams were built.
S.O 1: To increase access to and use of safe water for 500 people in Kitui South Sub-County.
1.1. Construction of sub-surface dam & fitting of an off-take well
1.2. Guttering of classroom & construction of a 80M3 masonry tank
1.3. Capacity strengthening of target groups
S.O2: To develop a water harvesting best practice centre where environmental approaches, social inclusion and gender are incorporated.
2.1. Roofing and fitting of 1 classroom
2.2. Guttering of classroom, open office and 2 green houses
2.3. Installation of solar pumping system & fittings
2.4. Recharge for WASH
S.O3: To study and document on old sand dams the findings in regard to functionality and develop a case study on the geohydrological changes of Wiitu stream due to cascade of sand dams.
3.1. A research on old sand dams’ functionality produced
3.2. Documentation of the geohydrological changes of Wiitu stream
Improved access to WASH services through increased access to water for MUS and strengthening WASH sector linkages
The proposed project involves water harvesting infrastructure that require minimal repairs. However, the action shall capacity build the target groups on operation and maintenance of water infrastructure and record keeping. The sub-surface dam/off-take well group shall charge user fee for maintenance of the facilities while the school management committee shall keep aside the money they have been spending on purchase of water for maintenance of the guttering system and pipings which need minimal repairs.
The action shall work with existing institutions both government and other development agencies. The action shall not in any way distabilize the existing relationships within the actors. It shall involve the government agencies in a sustainable manner to ensure they participate in the projects even after handing over to the communities.
The proposed action shall involve environmental restoration. The construction of sub-surface dam and shallow well ensures water infiltration leading to ground recharge which consequently leads to regreening in the surrounding areas. The action shall also incoporate retention ditches with vetiver grass planting for further water retention and infiltration.
The proposed intervention focuses on simple technologies that can be replicated. However, the action shall capacity build the communities in O&M to ensure continued functionality after exit. These trainings shall involve local artisans within the community so that they would be engaged in repair works in case of breakdowns in future.
During capacity building in O&M, group dynamics shall be a cross cutting issue to ensure community cohesion beyond the action. However, the action shall also work within the existing local community structures rather than introducing new structures which might not stand upon project exit.
The action targets 390 people and 110 school children. These are vulnerable groups as the community is poor. The 390 people comprise of 60% women who lack safe water as they rely on scoop holes. The 110 school children are drawn from this community. The school is in its early stages of development having been started out of community initiatives. The day schooling aspect is particularly leading to drop out of girls due to pregnancy related issues. For instance since its inception in 2011, it has recorded 17 cases. Roof water harvesting at the school shall ensure adequate water hence the girls would become boarders thus significantly reducing pregnancy cases as they would spend most of the time in school. The community has constructed a classroom cum dormitory for girls. Water is a big challenge with the school only being able to afford ten 20lt jericans in a day at a cost of kes 25 per jerican. This water is only used for cooking and drinking. If the school could harvest water from the classrooms, it would be enough for cooking, drinking and maintaining the boarders.
Financial sustainability : The proposed project involves water harvesting infrastructure that require minimal repairs. However, the action shall capacity build the target groups on operation and maintenance of water infrastructure and record keeping. The sub-surface dam/off-take well group shall charge user fee for maintenance of the facilities while the school management committee shall keep aside the money they have been spending on purchase of water for maintenance of the guttering system and pipings which need minimal repairs.

Freshwater Ecosystem Functionality in Kajiado
implementing
Improved Water Access and Functional Freshwater Ecosystem in Kajiado
Project seeks to enhance access to freshwater in urban Kajiado through rainwater harvesting and improving freshwater ecosystem functionality in rural Kajiado through construction, adaptation and promotion of rainwater harvesting infrastructures.
The project applies to rural Enkorika to strengthen existing interventions and make Enkorika a model for learning 3R techniques.
This project builds on the gains achieved and lessons learnt while implementing a programme titled “Enhanced Rainwater Harvesting for Multiple use through Low Cost Technologies” supported by RAIN through SASOL. NIA’s capacity to implement 3R solutions was enhanced through symposiums attended and also technical support received from SASOL, which was contracted by RAIN to build the capacities of local NGOs in Kajiado for construction of sand dams.

Joint proposal writing
Engaging with the WASH alliance/Kewasnet for better understanding of WASH budgeting for Kajiado town
Based on available external finance, capacity development though symposia and other training sessions.
The overall objective of this project will be to contribute to increased access to and use of portable water amongst households in Kajiado County through 3R knowledge transfer, facilitation of 3R water infrastructure development for MUS and development of useful linkages for WASH financing.
n/a
Beneficiary contribution is an important aspect of this project. For households benefiting from RWH systems, there will be 50% beneficiary contribution. For the 3R demonstration site, targeted group will contribute labour and will inturn benefit from capacity building/exchange visit and farm inputs.
There will also be a user pay system in place.
Protected springs, 3R demonstration site and restored degraded land assuring a functioning freshwater ecosystem
Simple RWH technology and 3R techniques imparted to the beneficiaries accompanied by operation and maintenance trainings to assure the continuity of running the project after donor withdrawal.
Increased access to portable water will ensure the project empowers women rather than increase their burdens. Care will be taken to ensure the project does not interrupt the social fabric of the community.
This proposal targets beneficiaries from a wide range of social spectrum with varying levels of inequity (gender and regional disparities). It targets beneficiaries both in urban and rural setups. The urban beneficiaries, the private sector and the county government are found in the project sites shared with the VIA water teaser. They are not homogenous in terms of wealth ranking as they are engaged in different activities from employment to business earning different levels of incomes. The rural beneficiaries are in Enkorika, a pastoral area marginalized in all aspects. The patriarchal nature of the Maasai makes women particularly vulnerable when droughts force them to walk long distances in search of water besides performing all household chores. Others targeted are those sharing the same landscapes and problems with the ones this project intends to solve hence learning and replicating the same in their localities. To prepare for 2017, NIA will seek to engage with the county government for joint planning and collaboration to scale up through the public sector

des populations vivant dans le sous bassin versant Garalo- Yinindougou
Le présent projet est la consolidation des acquis des actions réalisées courant la période 2013 – 2015 par le programme 3 R dans le Sous Bassin de Garalo – Yinindougou. Les principales actions porteront sur:
- La réhabilitation de 04 forages (PMH) et la Construction de 25 impluviums pour faciliter des populations à de l’eau pour les besoins domestiques
Le sous-bassin de Garalo -Yinidougou est composé de 9 villages pour une population totale estimée à 14 700 habitants. Pendant les premières années du projet 3R, des actions, tant au niveau communautaire que scolaire ont été menées pour faciliter l'accès des populations à l'eau domestique. Ainsi au niveau communautaire 13 pompes à motricité humaine (PMH) ont été réhabilitées pour faciliter l’accès à l’eau de 5 200 habitants, il en est de même pour la construction de 66 impluviums pour environ 1 320 personnes. 100% des écoles et des centres de santé ont été dotés en kits de lave-mains et de jarres améliorées pour le stokage/conservation de l'eau de boisson. Dans chacun des villages d’intervention une stratégie locale de mobilisation de fonds gérée par les comités Watsan a été mis en place et le montant moyen mobilisé par village est 100 000 F CFA soit 152 Euros . Un micro – barrage a été réhabilité pour favoriser la rétention de l’eau et la recharge de la nappe phréatique.
2.6.1. Mise en place et orientation de l’équipe projet : Après l’approbation de la proposition technique et financière par RAIN et la prise en compte des remarques, recommandations, la direction de CAEB procèdera à la mise en place de l’équipe projet.
Un atelier d’orientation de 03 jours sera organisé pour partager le contenu du document projet, les objectifs et résultats attendus à la fin du projet, la stratégie de mise en œuvre des actions. Les 03 jours seront mis à profit pour renforcer leurs capacités en techniques d’animation, à l’utilisation des outils de gestion du projet, collectes des données et de suivi - évaluation. Avant la fin de l’atelier le coordinateur élaborera son plan d’action trimestriel à partir du plan d’action général du projet et
l’ADC/ Facilitateur son plan d’opération mensuel.
Chaque agent sera doté de différents outils pour mener à bien les activités. Prendront part à cet atelier le coordinateur des programmes, le chargé de suivi – évaluation, le comptable en charge du projet en plus du personnel programmatique.
2.6.2. Présentation du projet au niveau des acteurs et des groupes cibles : Le processus commencera au niveau du chef lieu cercle par la présentation du projet au Préfet de Bougouni, au Sous-préfet de Garalo et aux Maires des différentes communes. Avec chacune des autorités communales seront planifiées les dates des assemblées générales d’information des communautés et des cibles.
Au niveau de chacune des communes, sous la haute présidence du Maire, une assemblée générale sera tenue avec les représentants des villages d’intervention pour présenter le projet, ses objectifs, ses résultats attendus, sa durée et valider les différentes contributions et définir ensemble les modalités de mobilisation pour l’atteinte des objectifs.
2.6.3. Pour la réalisation concrète des actions sur le terrain CAEB de la manière suivante :
a. La réhabilitation des 4 PMH: Le village de Mafèlè conte 04 forage vétustes (dont deux sont en panne depuis des mois) pour plus de 3000 habitant. La réhabilitation de ces forages va beaucoup faciliter l'accès des ces populations à de l'eau potable pendant les douze mois de l'année. Pour la réhabilitation des 04 PMH, un consultant spécialisé dans le domaine sera recruté pour mener une étude diagnostique de réhabilitation afin de définir les interventions sur chaque ouvrage. A la fin du processus de diagnostique un rapport sera produit pour servir de base pour la réalisation des différentes actions à entreprendre sur chacun des forages. Le plan de réhabilitation sera fait conformément au modèle et les nomes de l’UNICEF qui est aujourd’hui la référence. Ainsi les travaux de réhabilitation seront confiés à un prestataire ayant l’expérience de la réalisation du dit modèle.
Des assemblées générales seront organisées avec les chefs de ménages, les jeunes et les femmes pour définir les conditions de mobilisation des différentes contributions locales, les modalités de gestion et d’entretien de l’ouvrage, d’accès à l’eau (cotisation, achat de l’eau etc) et enfin mettre en place le comité watsan.
Après leur mise en place les membres du comité seront formés à travers des conversations sur leurs rôles et responsabilités dans la gestion, l’entretien et la sauvegarde ainsi que l’assainissement autour des différents points d’eau.
A la fin des réalisations une rencontre sera organisée avec le comité watsan, les communautés et les autorités (chef de village et les élus communaux) pour faire la réception et la remise officielle des ouvrages.
b. La construction des 25 impluviums: C’est le village de Sirala – Manfa qui bénéficiera des 25 impluviums qui seront réalisés. Sous la responsabilité du chef de village, une assemblée générale sera organisée pour présenter les types d’impluviums et les conditionnalités d’accès. Une liste sera ouverte pour recenser les potentiels candidats, a la fin des inscriptions une séance de travail sera faite avec les candidats retenus pour établir le calendrier de réalisation des impluviums et définir les modalités de mobilisation de leurs contribution/participation. Depuis plus de 04 ans CAEB collaborent avec des maçons et des techniciens qui ont les compétences requises pour la réalisation des impluviums dans les délais impartis. Après leur déploiement sur le terrain une visite des lieux par famille sera réalisée avant le démarrage des travaux. En collaboration avec l’ADC et le coordinateur un chronogramme de réalisation des 25 impluviums sera établit avec les maçons et les bénéficiaires.
Pendant que les ouvrages sont en cours de réalisation, les bénéficiaires seront sensibilisés pour la mise en place d’une association de propriétaires d’impluviums. Des séances de travail seront organisées avec les membres sur l’entretien et la sauvegarde des ouvrages, la mise en place d’une cotisation afin de prévenir les cas de grosses détérioration ou dégradation des impluviums au bout de certains temps.
A la fin des réalisations une rencontre sera organisée avec les bénéficiaires et les autorités (chef de village et les élus communaux) pour faire la réception et la remise officielle des ouvrages.
c. La réalisation du périmètre maraîcher de Mafèlè: Le personnel projet organisera des rencontres d’échange avec les femmes sur la réalisation du périmètre maraicher sur les berges du micro barrage, la superficie que le projet pourrait aménager, le parcellement et gestion de l’espace, la mise en place de règles de gestion interne de l’exploitation, les cotisations ou redevances à mobiliser pour l’entretien, enfin la mise en place du comté de gestion composé de 07 à 09 membres. Après l’établissement de la liste des femmes exploitantes, elles seront incitées à solliciter auprès des autorités villageoises l’acquisition d’un titre de propriété en leur nom. Un espace d’au moins 2 à 3 ha sera sollicité pour prévenir d’éventuelles adhésions d’autres femmes du village.
Après l’acquisition de la parcelle, il sera procédé à l’aménagement (clôture, creusement de puits) et l’équipement (achat de matériels de production) du périmètre, un prestataire sera recruté pour la réalisation des travaux.
Plusieurs sessions de formation seront réalisées à l’intention des femmes. Elles porteront sur les techniques de fabrication de compost (compostage aérobie), culturales, de production maraichère, l’organisation autour de la mobilisation de ressources pour l’acquisition de semences, la gestion des productions etc. Les différentes sessions seront pratiques, elles seront réalisées au niveau du périmètre maraicher à travers l’approche d’Apprentissage Par l’Action (APA) qui est très maitrisée par CAEB.
Avant la maturité de leurs productions, l’ONG facilitera leur mise en relation avec les acheteurs potentiels pour leur écoulement. Mais il faudra noter qu’un accent particulier sera mis la consommation locale afin d’améliorer la qualité de leur alimentation.
d. La réalisation d’actions de défense et de restauration des sols dans les villages : Pendant la troisième phase du programme 3R, des surfaces à réhabiliter dans le cadre des activités de DRS ont été définies et validées avec l'appui technique de Wetlands International et la participation des communautés ainsi que la liste des producteurs et propriétaires de terres. Il s’agira pour le programme d’acheter les matériels et équipements nécessaires (chaine d’arpenteur, charrettes, brouettes, pelles, piques, gants, barre à mine etc) de faire des séances de démonstration sur des parcelles témoins et engager les acteurs dans la réalisation des cordons pierreux et des sites compostières aérobies dans leurs parcelles personnelles. Comme pour les périmètres maraichers les sessions seront pratiques, elles seront réalisées sur le terrain à travers l’approche d’Apprentissage Par l’Action (APA).
Avant les séances de démonstration, des séances de travail seront organisées avec les producteurs et propriétaires de terres dégradées pour définir la longueur des cordons pierreux à réaliser pour contenir les érosions de leurs espaces, les quantités de compost à produire pour améliorer la qualité de leurs sols. Un comité de suivi composé de producteurs et propriétaires de terres sera mis en place au niveau de chaque village, il aura pour tache de suivre l’application des consignes au niveau des parcelles personnelles.
A la fin de chaque mois des visites de terrain seront organisées par le personnel programmatique avec les producteurs et propriétaires de terres engagés dans le processus pour vérifier la mise en œuvre des actions de DRS, évaluer les longueurs des cordons réalisés, l’état et les quantités de composts produits. Enfin des suggestions et recommandations d’amélioration.
OS4.R.1. Les organes de gestion des points d’eau, des associations de propriétaires d’impluviums, du périmètre maraicher jouent pleinement leur rôle, mobilisent les ressources nécessaires pour l’entretien des infrastructures existant dans les communautés, les écoles et les centres de santé.
OS4.R.2. Au moins 80% des populations au niveau des villages situés dans le sous bassin ont accès à de l’eau potable durant les 12 mois de l’année.
OS4. R.3. Chacune des 02 communes a engagé des ressources pour faciliter l’accès des populations à de l’eau pour les besoins domestiques et ou de production.
e. L'amélioration des pratiques d'hygiène et Assainissement, la gestion des ressources en eau dans les villages et la protection de l’environnement : Les activités à ce niveau seront centrées les bons comportements, les bonnes pratiques en matière d’H&A, la gestion efficientes des ressources d’eau disponibles, la mobilisation des structures communautaires de gestion des différentes problématiques au niveau des villages. Elles se feront à travers l’IEC, activité transversale, elle se fera de façon continue durant tout le processus et se fera lors des rencontres au niveau des organes de gestion, des responsables communautaires, les chefs de villages et conseillers ainsi qu’au niveau des ménages. Les thèmes porteront sur le rôle et la place des organes gestion, des femmes, des hommes et des jeunes dans la gestion des problématiques d'hygiène et Assainissement, la gestion des ressources en eau dans les villages et la protection de l’environnement, le respect des règles de gestion des organisations, la sauvegarde et l’entretien des ouvrages, infrastructures et équipements d’H&A et d’eau existant dans les communautés, la bonne gestion des ressources financières et matérielles mobilisées, l’esprit d’entreprise, les droits et devoirs et la participation dans la gestion des affaires publiques etc.
Elle portera aussi sur le partage des expériences et cas de succès observés au niveau d’un ou plusieurs villages surtout dans les activités mobilisation de ressources pour l’entretien des infrastructures d’H&A et d’eau etc. Ces actions permettront de consolider les acquis, pousser les communautés à être plus entreprenantes et éviter l’attentisme dans la gestion des différentes problématiques de développement de leurs localités et même influencer celles d’autres localités qui ne sont pas pris en compte par le programme.
g. Engagement des autorités dans la réalisation d’actions pour faciliter l’accès des populations à de l’eau pour les besoins domestiques et ou de production : Au niveau de chacune des deux communes, le coordinateur réalisera des séances de travail avec les autorités communautés communales pour les sensibiliser sur leurs responsabilités dans le cadre de la satisfaction des besoins en eau de leurs populations. Tous les rapports produits dans le cadre du projet seront mis à leur disposition pour qu’elles soient informées de toutes les difficultés et contraintes auxquelles les populations sont confrontées par rapport à leur accès à l’eau, l’H&A. Habitant des villages situés dans le sous bassin versant nous persuadés que ces actions vont les amener à des prises conscience et s’engager résolument dans la perspective de contribution à la satisfaction des besoins en eau, d’H&A des communautés.
Contribuer à l’amélioration des condition de vie des populations du sous bassin versant de Garalo – Yinindougou à travers l'accès de l'eau pour les besoins domestiques et de production agro sylvo pastorale ainsi qu’à un environnement décent où il fait bon vivre.
Pendant la période de 2013 - 2015 de mise en oeuvre des 3R, CAEB a mis en place une stratégie de mobilisation financière leocale autour des comités Watsans dans l'ensemble des villages. Cette approche sera consolidé cette année avec la mise en relation des comités avec les institutions financières de la place afin que dans un premier temps les fonds mobilisés soient sécurisés et dans un second temps que les villages à travers les comités Watsan puissent bénéficier de prêts pour les investissements dans le Wash.
Les comités Watsan mis en place constituent un élément (une assise) fort au niveau de chaque village et servent d'interlocuteur pour la communauté auprès de la commune et d'autres institutions ou partenaires
Les interventions sont placées dans le contexte global de l’environnement naturel et la mise en œuvre de solutions très pratiques au profit des populations du sous-bassin versant et de la nature (écosystème). Les approches pour pouvoir contribuer à la durabilité environnementale ont été identifiées et comprises par les représentants des populations du sous-bassin avec l’appui technique de Wetlands International. Cette année sera une mise en pratique expérimentation des cordons piérreux et du compostage aérobie dans la zone
Cordons pierreux sont une technique de lutte antiérosive que les populations ont privilégiées par rapport aux autres techniques ; cela, compte tenu de la simplicité de ces technologies et de leur faible coût financier. Un accent sera mis sur la consolidation des acquis des années précédentes.
Les réhabilitations de forages, la construction des impluviums ont facilité l'accès des populations et singulièrement les femmes, les filles et les garçons (qui font pour l'essentielle la corvée d'eau), à l'eau à usage domestique. Ce qui a constitué un gain de temps pour des activités génératrices de revenus, moins de stress, de conflits conjugaux, d'absence au cours à l'école pour cette frange de la population. Cette logique sera soutenue et consolidée pour la durabilité sociale du projet.
Les groupes cibles primaires sont les membres comités watsan, des associations villageoises des propriétaires d’impluviums, du comité de gestion du périmètre maraicher.
Les groupes secondaires sont les chefs de villages et les autorités communales
Les bénéficiaires finaux sont les populations du sous bassin versant, vivant essentiellement d'agriculture (culture céréalière) avec un accent particulier sur la production de coton, comme seule culture de rente à valeur commerciale très élevée dont le prix est tributaire du marché international. En plus il faudra aussi noter que les effets du changement climatique ont un impact négatif sur les productions agricoles, ce qui fait que les populations sont très vulnérables. Localités très enclavées, cette situation est encore plus accrue au niveau des femmes et des jeunes. Avec la pauvreté grandissante beaucoup d’entre eux sont entrain de quitter les villages pour les centres urbains à la recherche d’un mieux être économique et social.
Financial sustainability : Pendant la période de 2013 - 2015 de mise en oeuvre des 3R, CAEB a mis en place une stratégie de mobilisation financière leocale autour des comités Watsans dans l'ensemble des villages.

Les zones de Montougoula, de Baquineda et de Dialakoroba sont considérées comme des communes périphériques au District de Bamako. Par conséquent ils sont soumis à une très forte pression foncière. Le flux de l’urbanisation urbaine et démographique commence à se faire sentir. L’Etat n’a pas engagé d’actions significative d’amélioration des conditions de vie de ces populations malgré lre fait qu’elles commence à absorber une bonne partie de la population urbaine du district qui n’a pas les moyens de s’insérer dans le tissus urbain structuré et aménagé. Ces zones restent encore déficitaires en équipements et ouvrages d’accès à l’eau potable, l’hygiène et l’assainissement.
C’est pourquoi le projet a mené des actions significatives dans le cadre de l’accès à l’eau potable, l’hygiène et l’assainissement par le renforcement des capacités des acteurs du secteur, la réalisation des ouvrages d’eau potable, d’assainissement collectifs et individuels.

Projet d’amélioration de l’accès à l’eau potable, l’hygiène et l’assainissement et la sécurité alimentaire pour les populations défavorisées des communes de Mountougoula et de Baguineda
Les ouvrages et équipements collectifs réalisés seront dotés de comités de gestion qui bénéficieront dans le cadre de la gestion déléguée des mécanismes de recouvrement partiel ou total des frais d’utilisation et d’exploitation. Des formations en gestion seront organisées pour permettre une meilleure exploitation des ouvrages et assurer leur pérennité.
Le projet a déjà accompagné la mise en place des comités d’assainissement et d’eau dans chaque village et deux plates formes communales regroupant chacun l’ensemble des acteurs locaux du secteur Wash. Les actions de renforcement des plates formes vont porter sur les aspects de planification, de gestion, de mobilisation des ressources et de plaidoyer pour les communautés. Le fait de regrouper tous les acteurs du secteur est une garantie pour les synergies d’action et la mobilisation de tous les acteurs et leurs contributions au secteur.
L’ONG a été outillée sur la problématique de la protection de l’environnement. Tout ce qui sera réalisé prendra en compte les effets sur l’environnement. La mise à échelle du compostage sera d’un grand apport pour la protection des sols et l’amélioration de la qualité des produits agricoles. Au niveau des ménages et des villages les messages de sensibilisation et de communication sont surtout orientés vers la protection de l’environnement. Durant la première phase du projet tous les villages ont été dotés en équipement d’assainissement et de bacs d’ordures pour régulièrement assainir les villages.
Deux techniques seront surtout développées : les forages manuels et le compostage pour un accès universel à l’eau et l’assainissement. Ces techniques pourront bénéficier aux autres partenaires qui sollicitent déjà l’ONG sur ces deux sujets
Les familles pauvres ou à revenu modeste des zones d’intervention, les habitants défavorisés dont les femmes et les enfants. Les familles pauvres, les femmes et les enfants sont les groupes cibles qui souffrent le plus des problèmes d’accès a l’eau potable et l’assainissement. Ils sont les plus exposés aux conséquences telles que les maladies liées a l’eau et l’environnement. A cause de la faiblesse des revenus beaucoup de familles n’arrivent pas à réaliser des ouvrages améliorés et fautes d’informations certains ménages n’observent pas le minimum de mesures d’hygiènes sources de beaucoup de maladies.
Financial sustainability : Les ouvrages et équipements collectifs réalisés seront dotés de comités de gestion qui bénéficieront dans le cadre de la gestion déléguée des mécanismes de recouvrement partiel ou total des frais d’utilisation et d’exploitation. Des formations en gestion seront organisées pour permettre une meilleure exploitation des ouvrages et assurer leur pérennité.
Institutional sustainability : Le projet a déjà accompagné la mise en place des comités d’assainissement et d’eau dans chaque village et deux plates formes communales regroupant chacun l’ensemble des acteurs locaux du secteur Wash.

Projet d’Amélioration de l’accès
implementing
à l’eau potable et à l’Assainissement dans le cercle de Mopti
Le présent projet d’une durée de dix mois, porte sur la mobilisation, le stockage, la conservation et l’utilisation durable des eaux souterraines et de pluies dans le but d’appuyer la résilience des populations (3550 directement et 75 indirectement) du cercle de Mopti face aux effets des changements climatiques.
Dans les zones arides des Cercles de Mopti et de Douentza caractérisées par la prédominance des sols sableux et rocailleux, la variabilité du climat pose des défis quasi permanents de conservation, d’amélioration et de protection des eaux et des terres disponibles, des semences et des méthodes de cultures, de l’assainissement etc. Dans les communes concernées par le projet (Korombana, Petaka et Koubewel) vivent plus de 40 000 habitants affectés par une incidence de pauvreté de 73% à l’instar du cercle de Douentza. Les principales activités pratiquées sont l’agriculture et l’élevage qui dépendent essentiellement des conditions climatiques.
Faisant suite aux activités du PAGERE (2015) qui a vu réaliser des amenagements de sources, de mobilisation, de stockage des eaux de pluies, d’impluvium alimenté par pompage solaire, le présent projet se veut « d’acceleration des acquis et d’innovation par rapport aux pratiques classiques ».
2-6-1 Activités : Réalisation de blocs latrines publiques et dotation de kit de lavage de mains au niveau des centres d'éducation pour le developpement et écoles, marchés et poste de santé. Formation des structures de gestion des latrines en gestion et maintenance et leur dotation en kit de salubrité.
Il s’agit là de réaliser avec la participation villageoise de deux blocs de latrines dans le village. Ces blocs seront situés au niveau des édifices collectifs comme centre d’éducation. Le village aura une structure de gestion qui sera dotée d’un kit de salubrité et qui sera formée en entretien et maintenance.
2-6-2 Activités : l’aménagement et l’équipement du village de sountèye d’un forage équipé de kit solaire, formation des structures de gestion en entretien et maintenace, appui au secteur privé évoluant dans le WASH.
Ces activités concernent la réalisation d’infrastructures d’eau composées d’une part de forages alimentant une adduction d’eau sommaire par l’intermédiaire d’un kit solaire utilisant au besoin un impluvium comme système de stockage ; et d’autre part, la mise en place d’une structure de gestion par village qui sera appuyée pour la maintenance.
2-6-3 Activités : séances d'animations , sensibilisation sur l'hygiène et l'assainisselment dans chaque village, séances de demonstrations de bonnes pratiques , visites inopinées des domiciles pour stimuler les bonnes pratiques, instauration de journées de salubrité hebdomadaire, Animations avec outils visuels et de MARP, emissions radio locales en langues du milieu
Ces activités sont relatives à l’accompagnement technique nécessaire des trois villages pour l’instauration et le renforcement de bonnes pratiques d’hygiène et d’assainissement. Cet accompagnement prévoit l’utilisation d’outils pédagogiques d’animation comme ceux du MARP (Méthode accélérée de recherche participative).
2-6-4 Activités : formation des structures et groupements chargés d’entretien et maintenance, appui au secteur privé évoluant dans le WASH et leur mise à relation avec les bénéficiaires du projet, l'accent sera mis sur la promotion des jeunes filles et garçons
Il est prévu dans ce cadre de mettre ensemble certains groupements évoluant dans la maintenance des installations WASH, renforcer leur capacité et les mettre en relation avec les villages bénéficiaires.
2-6-5 Activités : Appui à la mise en relation des structures de gestion et une structure de microfinance rurale pour appuyer la maintenance et la durabilité des infrastructures.
Pour mieux asseoir la durabilité des infrastructures de WASH, il est prévu de trouver auprès d’une structure de microfinance rurale, la possibilité d’appuyer à travers le crédit remboursable l’équipement ou le renforcement de capacités des acteurs de WASH.
1. Favoriser l’augmentation de l'accès aux équipements sanitaires améliorés et leur utilisation de manière significative dans le village Sountèye cercle de Mopti d'ici fin 2016
2. Contribuer à augmenter l'accès à l'eau potable et son utilisation de manière significative dans le village de Sountèye, cercle de Mopti d'ici la fin 2016
3. Contribuer à l’amélioration de manière significative de l’hygiène et des pratiques d’assainissement de la population dans le village de Sountèye cercle de Mopti d'ici la fin 2016.
4. Renforcer les capacités des petits producteurs, les entreprises
Chaque infrastructure du projet génère en soi des recettes qui pourront prendre en charge les frais d’entretien et de renouvellement du système. Il sera prôné comme le veut la loi portant code de l’eau au Mali un système de vente de l’eau pour constituer une caisse de l’eau dans le but de circonscrire les frais d’entretien et de maintenance.
Une structure de gestion consensuelle est mise en place par infrastructure et dont la fonctionnalité et la régularité sont suivies de près par la communauté et la collectivité à travers les comptes d’exploitation, les bilans semestriels, les réunions ordinaires et extraordinaires
Chaque initiative du projet veillera à travers les conseils du service technique chargé des questions environnementales, au respect des impacts positifs sur l’environnement. Les différents aménagements proposés contribuent tous au ralentissement de l’écoulement de l’eau, donc à l’alimentation des nappes phréatiques qui favorisent le maintien du couvert végétal et des terres cultivables. Les sites étant dégagés, il n y aura pas besoin de détruire ou de blesser une partie de l’environnement naturel.
Les techniques utilisées sont certes innovantes mais très accessibles à la capacité de réplique et de maintenance de la population. Un apprentissage est prévu au cours des réalisations pour asseoir une bonne base de durabilité des réalisations Les formations en entretien, maintenance et l’implication des artisans privés garantira l’appropriation et la durabilité technique
L’implication de toutes les couches sociales de chaque village depuis la phase d’information et de choix de site, et la prédisposition de bénéficiaires à asseoir une structure de gestion consensuelle, présagent d’une bonne soutanabilité sociale du projet.
Le choix des gestionnaires et des règles de gestion etant participatrifs, la durabilité sociale est garantie
La présente proposition vise quatre domaines d’activités qui concourent à atteindre différents groupes de bénéficiaires à savoir : les femmes, les hommes, jeunes et enfants pour les impluviums alimentés par kit solaire, les éleveurs de trois villages et leur cheptel pour le point d’eau de source et les kits solaires. Environs, 3550 individus dont 1953 femmes et 1597 hommes du village de Sountèye (commune rurale de Korombana,),bénéficient directement du projet.
Indirectement, le projet bénéficiera aux transhumants et forains réguliers qui sont estimés à 75 pour le village.

WUMP+3R
implementing
WUMP+3R for water harvesting to enable resilience and adaptation to climate
The project will focus on developing effective water governance mechanisms through application of WUMP+3R approach to promote water conservation for domestic and productive uses. To further demonstrate the WUMP+3R approach, the project will focus on capacity building of NWA members and other stakeholders at national and local level to accelerate WASH.
HELVETAS in collaboration with RAIN developed and implemented Recharge, Retention and Reuse based Water Use Master Planning (WUMP+3R) by mainstreaming 3R measures in WUMP. The WUMP + 3R is a promising approach to address these issues with a focus on participatory planning and management of water resources and integration of 3R to promote water conservation and harvesting. The approach also has been acknowledged as a replicable approach by NWA partners and other WASH stakeholders in Nepal. Capacity building of NWA members, WASH stakeholders at national level (government and nongovernment) and local level is realized to uptake WUMP+3R approach; hence accelerate WASH though capacity building, demonstration and advocacy. Moreover, functionality of water schemes is very poor in Nepal due to various reasons such as declining water source discharge, community ownership, lack of adequate local capacity etc.
The project will implement the activities at two levels: local level and national level. The local level activities include capacity building of VDC/Municipality, WASH-CC members, users committee members, masons, local NGOs etc to uptake and implement WUMP+3R. A review workshop on WUMP+3R, training on 3R technology will be organized. The project will support implementation of 3R schemes for the demonstration and also collaborate with other projects/ funds (eg HELVETAS) for implementation of drinking water and sanitation (hygiene) scheme.
Similarly, at national level orientation on WUMP+3R will be provided to all NWA members and facilitator training will be organized for two partners (NEWAH and BSP). The project will also organize sharing workshop on WUMP+3R for WASH stakeholders (government and I/NGO). Documentation on functionality and sustainability will be carried out in one of WUMP+3R VDC where 3R schemes already implanted.
The project will focus on developing effective water governance mechanisms through application of WUMP+3R approach to promote water conservation for domestic and productive uses. To further demonstrate the WUMP+3R approach, the project will focus on capacity building of NWA members and other stakeholders at national and local level to accelerate WASH. The project will collaborate with other stakeholders/funds for implementation of drinking water schemes and apply social marketing approach (with business model) for hygiene behavior.
• Lobby and advocacy of WUMP+3R for wider replication
• Other agencies collaborate for the implementation of WASH schemes
• Collection of Operation & Maintenance Fund by users committee
• Capacity enhancement at different levels:
National level: NWA members
Local level: VDC, WASH-CC, local NGO, users committee
• Lobby with national level WASH stakeholders (government and I/NGO)
• Development of WUMP+3R plan for sustainable development of water resources
• Implementation of 3R schemes
• Focus on rain water harvesting and source conservation and protection
• Use of local resources, technology that can be adopted by the local capacity while implementation and then during operation and maintenance,
• Less operation and maintenance cost
• Inclusion of women and marginalized people in committee and beneficiaries,
• Capacity enhancement of local beneficiaries including awareness on environmental sanitation, hygiene, climate change and 3R measures
The target group are people living in poverty in general and water hardship areas in particular. They are mostly from poor and disadvantaged groups. The proposed project targets 50 % of the beneficiaries from women. Moreover, it also targets capacity building of NWA members and local stakeholders such as VDC/Municipality, WASH-CC members, local partner NGO, and users committee members, local masons etc to uptake WUMP+3R approach.

WASH 4 ALL: Offering, Accessing and Accelerating WASH
This project is another step towards access to better WASH with different objectives like enabling sustainable WASH and energy to people, Supporting business development and access to finance for WASH and promoting the integrated approach (WASH, energy, business development and finance) to support up-scaling.
BSP-Nepal has worked as a partner to implement RWH system and is also planning to work for the forth coming phase in 2016. The area selected for the project is also a reflection based upon the Water Use Master Plan prepared by Helvetas Nepal, which is one of the remote & rural VDC of the Salyan district, i.e. Kupindedaha VDC facing different problems on WASH. Basically there will be major focuses on 3R and business and credit approach in the proposed project. BSP- Nepal has required experience in promoting RWH water as a source of safe water and enable its use in water scarce areas for income generation and livelihood enhancement- particularly women and children by improving access to water for drinking, irrigation and better sanitation. Also advocating and advising for RWH uptakes, local resource mobilization, documentation and information exchange for dissemination of RWH technologies, sensitizing and capacity building at various levels of project development and implementation.
There are various activities which will be done according to the objectives to complete the forth coming project.
Objective 1
i. Firstly, baseline survey of Selected VDC and identifying potential users for to get to know the potential area beneficial for the target groups.
ii. Installation of RWH tank(10m3) and plastic ponds(20m3) to provide water for both domestic and productive purpose.
iii. Providing training to local people on operation and maintenance of RWH systems.
iv. Installations of toilet attached bio-gas system to provide access better sanitation and IGA.
Objective 2
i. Organising different meeting in different level (local and national) for channelizing fund to support WASH.
ii. Provide training on different aspects like business plan, entrepreneurship development, budget tracking, planning, and capacity building etc. to accelerate WASH.
iii. Business potential survey for better application of WASH product.
Objective 3
i. DDC/VDC level awareness for different organisation/ institutions, schools and local people through training campaign on WASH and sustainable environment.
ii. Mass population awareness program to support WASH through media and social network.
iii. Establishing local management committee by practicing social inclusion and providing training on WASH and environmental sustainability.
iv. Organising lobby meeting with local and national government entities to support and promote WASH.
Other activities can be like;
• Promoting business activities regarding WASH
• Interaction meeting with local people and different groups.
• Visiting for monitoring and evaluation in different stages to know the progress.
All activities will be helpful for strengthening capacities of the target groups and project partners especially the district level awareness program, installation of the RWH tank and plastic tank, biogas system will come forward. But nonetheless replication of business model based upon rainwater harvesting with 3R approach (which is the combination of the different rainwater harvesting systems) will strengthen capacities of target groups and partners simultaneously for future intervention.

Increased access to WASH
implementing
3R in Gorkha district
A catchment-based 3R approach including rain water harvesting for water supply decreases temporal variability of supply and provides inherent mechanisms to improve safe and sufficient water for domestic purposes, agricultural productivity and increases resilience to climate change. It maps opportunities to increase and utilize natural water resources and uses the landscape as a buffer.
Gorkha is one of the highly affected districts by the devastating Earthquake on 25 April 2015 followed by 3 June 2015. In Gorkha 412 people died, 44,478 households were completely destroyed and most of the remaining houses are not favorable to live. Institutions like schools and health posts are heavily damaged. Both these institutions are operating in open fields under temporary shelters.
Water and sanitation facilities have been destroyed by the Earthquake and people are fetching water from traditional water sources which are contaminated. People have started to practice open defecation even though some efforts have been made to cope the situation. During the rainy season there was an outbreak of diarrhea and dysentery caused by water contaminated and poor hygiene behavior. Most of the water sources which were used for water supply have been dried up.
Objective 1: To increase access to water and micro irrigation through the rooftop rainwater harvesting 3R and ponds construction
• Household level rooftop rainwater harvesting jars construction
• Construction of institutional large size RWH jars
• Construction support irrigations ponds
Objective 2: Capacity enhancing of the people to potential development opportunities through the different training, workshop and report.
• Urine collection and use M-TOT training to community people
• Communities will get awareness better health and hygiene practice.
Objective 3: To disseminate knowledge and skills on 3R to Local stakeholder and users.
• Project knowledge sharing workshop for community
• Project sustainability training for community and users groups
• Final knowledge sharing works to local stakeholder
• Staff capacity enhancing 3R and preparation of Water Use Master + 3R plan with the assistance of Helvetas Nepal
• Knowledge sharing workshops to community and local stakeholders
To contribute in acceleration to improved and WASH and create the livelihood opportunity to the proposed community people of Gorkha district
NEWAH is working in the area which was badly affected by the earthquake. Because of this financial status of the people living in this area is poor. Despite of this NEWAH will promote for the financial sustainability at VDC level through establishing or linking existing saving and credit if exist in the VDC. NEWAH will conduct workshops regarding the use and promote micro finance in working area for the financial sustainability of the project.
Within the target catchments the VDC, V-WASH CC will be the main WASH governing Institutional body to plan and manage the project. NEWAH will also facilitate linkages between the WSUC and the district level Federation of Drinking water and sanitation users Network (FEDWASUN) so that beneficiaries have a sustainable institutional mechanism for raising future concerns. Institutional training is provided to the WSUC through NEWAHs existing processes in addition to biannual support visits for a period of two (2) years post-construction. This visit also develops the capacity of the community and provides refresher training to WSUCs if required.
NEWAH is promoting the Rain water harvesting jars and the irrigation ponds in this project. NEWAH is not using any spring or stream source water for any purpose like drinking, irrigation and for maintaining hygiene and sanitation. Extraction of the natural water is not here in the project area so there will not be any depletion of the natural sources. This will help to maintain the environmental sustainability in the project area.
Proposed technical solutions will be context-appropriate and utilise sustainable, locally available materials wherever possible. The use of local community labour in construction ensures that beneficiaries have not only an understanding of system construction but take ownership in their asset. Training in system operation and maintenance ensures that infrastructure will be sustainable and managed effectively by the intervention community. Earthquake resilient structure will be constructed and more attention is given to make resilience catchments or roofing.
The NEWAH standard approach is GESI (Gender and Social Inclusion). All caste, religious and excluded group will participate in the committee and they will decide their all project related activities before starting the project work.
People of 3 VDCs of Gorkha named Taple, Finam and Baguwa are the target group of this program. The people of proposed locations are facing the problem of drinking water because there is no chance of gravity fed system. The proposed locations are inhabitant of various castes, ethnic group, marginalized group and minority. Nepali is the communicating language even the proposed locations are inhabitant of mixed castes and ethnicity. Agriculture is the main occupation for majority of people in the project areas. Some male people use to go India for labor because their own production from agriculture is not enough for them for the whole year. Economic status of most of the families is poor. So, the poor, marginalized castes and ethnic groups are the target groups of the program.
Financial sustainability : NEWAH is working in the area which was badly affected by the earthquake. Because of this financial status of the people living in this area is poor.

Up-Scaling RWH through the Private Sector
implementing
TA to create private service providers and develop finance products
Scaling up rainwater harvesting and other WASH services requires the private sector and sustainable financing. SmartPaani, will provide technical assistance to Nepal WASH Alliance partners to train the private sector, develop sustainable finance products, and proof of concept for affordable and earthquake resistant water tanks.
Nepal’s access to water and sanitation is improving, however there are still significant gaps to fill. One of of the key issues is the involvement of private sector service providers to support and promote upscaling, as governmental and non-governmental organizations alone are too dependent on subsidies. Over the past year (2014-2015), SmartPaani worked with RAIN and Simavi to increase the number of service providers across Nepal. 4 Urban Nodal Point franchises were equipped with business and technical training on urban rainwater harvesting, large biosand filters, small household water treatment (BSF and Tripti Filters) and wastewater treatment promotion.
The next step is to work more actively with WASH NGO’s on expanding WASH service provision through and with the private sector into their projects and programs. For this, SmartPaani proposes to work with the Nepal WASH Alliance and in specific with NEWAH and BSP, RAIN partners, to build their capacities on private sector involvement
Objective #1 – Increased involvement and capacity of the private sector in WASH service delivery, especially rainwater harvesting
• Develop new and adapt existing, with RAIN partners, training packages for them to involve the private sector in WASH service delivery
• “Business Model” focus group discussions with RAIN partners to receive feedback and increase understanding to contribute to future scalability of private sector involvement. These will sandwich around the trainings below to create an atmosphere for understanding and development of strategy. A focus group format is necessary to establish a baseline, develop capacity, network, bring learning into action, and reflect on lessons-learned for future strategy development.
o 3-4 meetings to this effect. At least 3 with Newah and 1 with BSP.
1 – Previous experience with business development (baseline)
2 – Focus on developing and adapting existing training modules
3 – Training module feedback based on local experience (output)
• Provide custom trainings to RAIN partners’, particularly Newah and BSP’s, identified “entrepreneurs” in their working area. This will build on the technical capacity and rural experience of Newah and the previous experience of SmartPaani in developing Urban Nodal Point franchisees.
o Marketing Training
o Basic Financial and Business Trainings to maintain financial records and understand simple business processes to set goals, track progress and understand the viability of their enterprises.
o Orientation to entrepreneurship and what is different between that and only just being a service provider, use synthesized learnings from above focus group discussions and parallel trainings to NWA to inform these.
• Strategy meeting in 2016 end (November), to develop a strategy for 2017 onward for upscaling, funding and financing with RAIN partners and where needed all NWA members. The goals of these meeting will be to reflect on private sector involvement and to make a plan to scale for the next period, especially fundraising and creation of sustainable finance products to upscale all WASH services (replicate the learning of this project with RWH)
Objective #2 – Development, Improvement of Sustainable Finance Prouducts for Rainwater Harvesting
• Work with financial institutions to develop sustainable WASH financing services, especially around rainwater harvesting (3R).
o Conduct a series of meetings with the institutions
o Field visits to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept and the financial viability of the systems, along with the “client’s” actual experiences so the institutions are convinced of the benefits of the “product/service”.
Objective #3 - Proof of concept for a flexible, cost-effective, earthquake-resistant water storage tank, RainCAP
• Provide orientation on the benefits of and a technical training to Newah and BSP on RainCAP storage tanks and local building techniques (earth-brick)
Provide 20 household level (10 m3) RainCAP storage tanks to Newah working areas in Gorkha for installation. Make also available for BSP working areas, to use as replacement for their current stone masonry tanks if they prove more cost-effective.
The overall objective of this project is to increase the involvement of the private sector in rainwater harvesting service provision. This will be done through business development trainings to Newah and their local masons, development of rainwater harvesting finance product with finance agencies, and the introduction cost-effective, earthquake resistant, storage technologies (RainCAP).
Technical assistance for the development of finance products for WASH Services such as 3R, community water supply and public toilets
Coordination with RAIN Partners and other NWA members to work with the GoN to provide policy support to upscale WASH by involving the private sector
Rainwater harvesting, properly done, by default promotes sustainability. It uses local or easily transported materials to store water for on-site use and reuse (3R). This reduces the impact of moving other water from distant sources and the 3R approach of this makes sure water is used efficiently.
This project will focus on developing a business model; one of the key components of a business model are sound technologies for rainwater harvesting like RAIN Cap. Since the project also focuses on sustainable finance (above) a requirement for that are technically sound products. RainCAP is light, durable, easily transported and uses local materials for the structure.
SmartPaani will focus on inclusive business development. The finance will be accessible to the majority of the population, while where possible/applicable women will be involved also. Inclusive practices and targeting (caste/ethnicity) will be encouraged to avoid social group exclusion.
The target groups in this project are the Nepal WASH Alliance members.. The project will involve the following target groups specifically:
• RAIN Partners (Newah, BSP) through business development trainings and trainings to their user groups
• Local-level users through business development trainings and provision of new, alternative storage technologies (RainCAP)
• Local technicians (masons, plumbers) – this will be through business development training, technical training on RainCAP, and future business support of additional WASH services (parallel SP business model, SP own contribution)
• Future – local level users, through bite-size financing products that provide them with rainwater harvesting at affordable monthly fees that are less than their current costs or future benefits (i.e. water transport costs/time or revenue from off-season farming)
Financial sustainability : Technical assistance for the development of finance products for WASH Services such as 3R, community water supply and public toilets
Institutional sustainability : Coordination with RAIN Partners and other NWA members to work with the GoN to provide policy support to upscale WASH by involving the private sector

Integrated rainwater Harvesting and management for improved livelihoods
This project will enhance the capacity of communities in Kapchorwa, Rakai, Kamwenge and Luwero districts to construct water harvesting tanks, and equip them with knowledge to reduce vulnerability to climate change that results in food shortages. Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Local Government, and other community institutions.
Livelihoods of most rural communities in Uganda are frequently disrupted by lack of access to safe water. This is due to erratic, low and unpredictable rainfall, which is being aggravated by climate change leading to extreme conditions – frequent droughts and floods. The rainfall pattern in Kapchorwa is bimodal: long rains (March-May) and short rains (September-December). The seasonal rainfall lasts on average for 3 months with variations in on-set and close dates. This favors rainwater harvesting and management.
1. Construction of ferrocement tanks
2. Facilitate communities to construct and or rehabilitate Household sanitary infrastructure
4. Facilitate households to create Household backyard gardens, tree nurseries and ponds.
5. National and regional stakeholders’ workshops
6. Community capacity building
7. Development and dissemination of bi annual newsletters
8. Audio-visual documentary on best practices in promoting integrated WASH.
9. Baseline surveys
10. Periodic monitoring &evaluation;
The overall objective is to contribute to the improvement of sustainable livelihoods in vulnerable communities living in water stressed areas through innovative financing mechanisms for WASH.
URWA will collect evidence (on what works well and what works less) with which to advocate for increased budget allocation for WASH activities at different levels. Also, beneficiary contribution will be emphasized, to reduce dependence of beneficiaries on external support
The Capacity building of community based agencies and other actors in the region will enhance net working and collaboration activities involved in for policy influencing. URWA will document practices and procedures that led to project successes and failures because they will provide ways on how to go about future projects
The project will facilitate continuous promotion of rainwater harvesting activities so as to address issues of climate change. To create a healthier environment, the stakeholders will be equipped with skills to promote the integrated water resources management approach for both production and environment conservation.
URWA will introduce technologies that are appropriate and affordable to the communities. Members whose capacity will have been built will scale up the project through construction of water and sanitation infrastructure to those who did not benefit from the project.
There will be Gender mainstreaming in all the activities. Involvement of women will ensure sustainability of the project because they are change agents.
The project will be implemented in the districts of Kapchorwa, Rakai and Luwero. The project will be implemented in collaboration with the local leadership at district and sub county levels and in partnership with local CBOs or NGOs.URWA will work in different sub counties in all the districts depending on which ones will have been jointly selected with Partners at the District and Sub county Offices. The target beneficiaries are the women, youth and men in the communities.

A study to establish interventions appropriate for given sections of the catchment will be conducted and a community engagement/financing plan developed. At sub catchment level implementation will focus on WASH services, renewable energy and CLTS approach. Strengthening capacities in 3R approach and putting in place governance and institutional mechanisms, empower communities in resource mobilizat
In the up-stream part of the Mpanga catchment, deforestation is largely driven by agriculture expansion and growing commercial demand for forest products. Mid stream and downstream, poor land use practices have resulted into soil erosion, low crop production and siltation of rivers. The water quality and quantity has deteriorated and the turbidity in the river system is high with values up to 200NTU. Urbanisation and pollution from waste waters, poor sanitation, waste disposal, encroachment on wetlands, poor agricultural practices are quite predominant. Noted has been the shrinking of water tables and drying of water sources. Currently JESE has engaged in capacity building and awareness creation, establishing mechanisms for sustainable catchment management approaches, improved WASH services, advocacy, action research and enhancing coordination with local government and the private sector, and the focused was at the micro catchments of Rwambu, Rwebikwato, Karambi and Hakibale.

The overall objective of the project is “to ensure the catchment is managed in a way that conserves water, biodiversity and other natural resources to meet basic human needs and sustain ecosystem functions”
JESE shall develop the capacities of water users in approaches for generation of local financing such as establishment of O&M funds, strengthening the VSLA approach, encouraging and supporting communities to pay for WASH services to improve and build their own water supply. At household level, activities to increase productivity and promote marketing and value chain development shall contribute to better income for the community members to continue supporting the project interventions beyond the funding period.
JESE shall during the implementation process work with political leadership at district and sub county levels to ensure that the rights and access to safe water supplies are ensured through instituting appropriate policy guidelines ordinances and by laws, the emphasis being to preserve the role of government in developing regulations and guidelines which govern ownership and management of new and existing systems.
JESE shall during project implementation build local capacities on water resources protection and management using the 3R approach and focus shall be put on promoting environmentally friendly technology based on the 3R approach. In addition, the communities will be trained to understand the synergies in the Agriculture-Water-Environment nexus.
JESE shall facilitate the development and promotion of simple technologies that are replicable and cheap to use and maintain in the areas of waste management, fecal management, rain water harvesting and low cost water protection.
JESE shall build the capacity of beneficiaries to participate, demand and advocate for better services in WASH. During project implementation, JESE shall facilitate processes to engage women and marginalized groups in society in management of established WASH services empower women to advocate for their rights to water and to engage them in meaningful dialogue to ensure their needs in WASH are well catered for.
The immediate beneficiaries of the project will be the local people (women, men, youth and the elderly) living in Kahunge and Karangura sub counties of Mpanga catchment. These are mainly small holder farmers owning on average less than 5 acres and are highly dependent on the natural resources for their livelihoods. The local people will benefit from increased availability of water for production and consumption as a result of the 3R interventions, water source protection, wetland conservation and clean energy technology use that will reduce on deforestation. Also, the communities will have a better understanding of the synergies between environment and agriculture for more sustainable implementation of project activities.
In addition, the policy and decision makers especially those at the district and lower local government level will also benefit from this project. They will specifically gain from the knowledge on the best practices for Catchment based integrated water resources management as well as the process of developing catchment management plans which can be used as a basis for funding and resource allocation in the future. The indirect beneficiaries will include national and regional teams within the ministry of Water and Natural resources, Wildlife authority, National Forest Authority (NFA) and Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF).They will benefit from tools, methods and approaches for integrated Water Resource Management and biodiversity conservation, but the project also seeks to align its interventions with them in order to accelerate through the public sector.
The private sector including; the Hydro power station, tea estate, NWSC and Town councils within the Mpanga catchment will largely benefit from the sustainable management of the Mpanga catchment as they are consumers of resources (water and land) where the project intends to improve their management. In this regard, the project also intends to bring on board private sector engagements in resource mobilisation and commitment towards implementing the developed catchment plans
Financial sustainability : JESE shall develop the capacities of water users in approaches for generation of local financing such as establishment of O&M funds, strengthening the VSLA approach, encouraging and supporting communities to pay for WASH services to improve and build their own water supply.

Kahunge sub county,Kiyagara Parish, Rwebikwato Village and Karangura sub county, Nyakitokoli parish
A detailed study will be conducted in the entire Mpanga catchment to establish interventions appropriate for given sections of the catchment, this will inform project interventions in 2017 and beyond. However, the project interventions for this year will be localized to the two sub-counties of Kahunge and Karangura. River Mpanga flows over a distance of about 200km with its source at the Rwenzori Mountains (1,700m.a.s.l) and outlet at L. George (914m.a.s.l). It is a trans-boundary river crossing three districts of Kabarole, Kyenjojo and Kamwenge. It flows through Fort Portal town where water is abstracted by National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC). Further downstream, the river flows through a rural area with various tea plantations into Kibaale Forest which is one of the most important indigenous forests still present in Uganda today. The river flows through different wetlands including Kajujuma wetland in Rwebikwato- Kiyagara parish. The wetlands act as a source of livelihood providing fish and areas for small scale irrigated vegetable production to the adjacent communities. It is a source of firewood, medicinal plants, hand crafts and most importantly a source of water for the Bakonjo community upstream. Indeed, Rwebikwato in Kahunge sub county and Nyakatoli in Karangura sub county are some of the most water stressed areas located in Kamwenge and Kabarole districts respectively. Mainly inhabited by peasant communities who depend on agriculture and natural resources for their livelihood.
