I. Project description

• Project title : Arsi Negele WaSH Program

• Location : Region: Oromia Regional state

Zone: West Arsi;

District/Woreda: Arsi Negele

• Implemented by:

Welthungerhilfe (GAA) in collaboration with its local partner - BBBC

• Funding Agency: European Commission(EC)

and

Oromia Regional Water Bureau


• Project Budget: EC (75%) € 2,625,000

ORWB (25%) € 875,000

Total (100%) € 3,500,000

Program period: 5.5 years (January 2008 - June 2013)

Beneficiaries: 137,000 people in water supply,(25 Kebeles)

135,000 in improved Sanitation (48 Kebeles)

103,000 in improved environment


Program Goal and objectives

Goal: contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable

development in Arsi Negele Woreda, West Arsi zone of

Oromia Regional State

Specific objectives 1: Solid capacity of the communities and

the Woreda sector offices created to initiate, plan, implement,

monitor, and sustain water and sanitation projects.

Specific objectives 2: Reaching the MDG of halving the

population with out access to safe water supply and sanitation in

the target Woreda in an environmental friendly way.


Program Approaches

CLA –community demand driven and led approach is

adopted to address community capacity building and to

assure sustainability of constructed WaSH scheme;

CLTS – Community-Led Total Sanitation is adopted to

promote hygiene and sanitation practices in the Woreda

Gender Sensitivity ,HIV/AIDS prevention and other

cross cutting Issues.


Program Results

Construction of five big water schemes 139,608 people got access to safe water supply

Hygiene and sanitation promotion 36,536 improved TPLs constructed 182,680 people got access to improved sanitation facilities

13 VIPLs (8 schools, 3 Markets, 2 cooperatives) constructed 48,713 people got access to sanitation facilities @ public institutes

Piloting of biogas technology 10 biogas constructed in farmers house.

Many more on capacity building and Environmental development.


Guna Dole safe water supply scheme: supplying 96,343 people in 18 KAs

The structure include:

Two spring sources’ capping (Guna - 10l/s and Debele -30l/s)

4 reservoirs(50,100,200 and 300m3 capacity)

About 156kms of pipe line

75kms of main pipe line 85kms of secondary and tertiary pipe line

62 Water Kiosks and 5 cattle troughs

2 board offices(Main and technical offices)


Scheme Management issues

17 WaSHCOs (153 members)

One scheme level board(34 General assembly members

and 9 executive scheme management board members)

Staffs:- 83 staffs (5 technical,13 guards and 60 Was)

About 400 private customers,3 health stations, 2

langano area lodges, different offices and religious

centers.

Has a cumulative amount of more than 2mill.ETB

Audit was conducted by concerned government office

and currently the scheme board has promoted to

“Rural safe water supply service”


How WSP approach was initiated in ANWP

Microbial analysis of drinking water between Guna-Dole water supply scheme and point of use at household level done in Sept 2011.

The finding revealed that the water at the source was of sound quality. However, 86% of the water samples taken from drinking cup was positive for fecal coliform bacteria.

As a result of the alarming finding, discussion was held with WHO Ethiopia and WSP was recommended as a tool to address the issue.


WSP is a plan to ensure the safety of drinking water

through the use of a comprehensive risk assessment

and risk management approach that encompasses all

steps in water supply from catchment to consumer.

To implement WSP, TOT has been given to relevant

staffs from WHH supported programs by joint

facilitation of WHH and WHO-Ethiopia.

Finally, ANWP-GD SWSS was selected to be a pilot

project to start the approach-WSP


1.Map the water supply system(eg.make a flow diagram)

2.Identify the hazards and assess the risks(eg.through

agreed ranking system)

3. Implement the needed improvement (eg. Following a

prioritized schedule)

4.Review adequacy of preventive control measure(eg.through

validation,operational monitoring, and end point testing)

5.Review the WSP (Develop supportive processes-

eg.training)

WSP Cycle


The process and achievements so far in ANWP-

GDSWSS

Right after the TOT, the following were conducted:

1st. All the modules and supportive documents were translated in to

local language (Oromiffa) .

2nd.Training started from Woreda level sector office heads

(WWT) on: 1.Current situation in the scheme

2. How to go through these problems using WSP

and its approach.

3rd. Training continued to GD SWSS management board members

4th. With the facilitation of the program staffs, WWT and GD

SWSS management board members met and select the GD

SWSS WSP team members from different sectors and

backgrounds. The team members are as follows:

WSP team identifying the possible

risks


The team discussing with the local community on the observed risks


What has been achieved so far (In two months period)?

54/62 water kiosks fenced by the community All the pipe line trenches back filled The observed leakage on the spring box maintained Total scheme disinfection implemented Significant positive changes observed in and around the WKs


Challenges faced:

Most of the program staffs were engaged on already planned program activities Insufficient attention given to WSP piloting

The WSP team members were very busy as the implementation period was during the rainy season that most of them were engaged in farm activities Members were not fully committed

Besides the above reasons, the approach needs more budget than it was anticipated-all the identified risks need additional investment to be addressed Lack of fund to implement actions

The approach it self need continuous follow up and monitoring activities to evaluate its progress Limited time for piloting

As the approach is new even for the country, it needs a considerable time to adopt to the local context


Recommendation

Incremental water quality improvements can be achieved in any

given water scheme through the implementation of WSP

approach recommended to scale it up.

It is highly recommended to include most available people in the

WSP team to assure continuing commitment.

Extending the focus of the WSP approach to the “point of use” as

major problems are associated with post collection

contamination.

Get sufficient time, committed WSP team and some budget to

successfully implement WSP approach.

THANK YOU !!
