During the meeting various recommendations were made. Refer to Chapter 7.0 for details of the recommendation.

3.0 Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign The hygiene and sanitation campaign has been going on from August 2009. The Hygiene and Sanitation promotion campaign was officially launched from September 2010. The contract was supposed to learn from July to December 2010. As a result of problems encountered while executing the contract, the consultant in December 2009 requested for a “One months no-cost extension of the Contract” so as to end in January 2010. The reasons, which led to the request for the “No-cost Extension”, is as presented in Section 2.3 of this report. Before the end of January 2010, the consultant decided to hold a day’s stakeholder meeting so as to brief them on the progress on hygiene and sanitation promotion campaign and also to hold discussion on the way forward related to hygiene and sanitation campaign.

They were explained that the objectives of the hygiene and sanitation promotion campaign were to reach 1,200 households and 15 schools in 12 Sub-locations in three districts of:-

• Meru Central (currently Imenti North and Buuri Districts) • Meru North and (currently Tigania East District) • Tharaka Districts. (currently Tharaka North District)

To achieve these objectives, the Hygiene and Sanitation Promoters (HSPs), two from each sub-location were identified and trained in Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation (PHAST) Methodology by Network for Water and Sanitation International (NETWAS) in 2007 through a contract between NETWAS and LVIA. Through another separate contract with WATSAN Consultants, a refresher course was conducted from 17th to 19th August 2009 for the same group which had trained earlier. The Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion campaign in the three districts was launched in September 2009. During the PHAST refresher workshop training, thirteen Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion messages were prepared. The copies of the messages and copies of PHAST tools were used to implement a campaign that was envisaged to create awareness on the importance of Hygiene and Sanitation within the water program for greater health benefits. The campaign addressed issues of personal hygiene, water, hygiene, food and domestic hygiene among others issues. It also addressed community behavior that enhances good hygiene resulting in improved health. The expectations from the HSPs included:-

a) To translate Campaign messages into the local Kimeru language. These messages were written on flip chart papers and were used during the HSP Campaign.

b) To reach 25 households in a month for the next 4 months from August 2009. A group of 2 HSPs were expected to be involved in the HSP campaign during the period and were supposed to have promoted HS in the 100 houses in the period up to end of December 2009.

c) To carry out HS promotion in at least 2 schools in their sub-location. The number of Primary School to be covered in the campaign in the three districts was to be 15 primary schools. This work was also to done in the 4 months starting September 2009.

d) To produce their sub-location progress report starting from September 2009, which was through filling of relevant forms? The forms for collection of data were done by consultant and were given to the HSPs.

e) To continuously liaise with the office to which they had been attached to. These offices were Mukothima and Gatunga Catholic Churches and Resource Projects - Kenya (RPK).

f) To participate in a monthly monitoring meeting between consultants and HSPs to discuss the progress of the HS campaign and also make payment of travel and monthly allowance.

10

The consultants did the following work:- a) On monthly basis, based on reports prepared by HSPs, the consultant compiled a

monitoring report for LVIA office, in Meru. b) Making copies of the forms that were filled by HSPs during the campaign. These

copies of the forms were submitted to the Head of Lay Volunteers International Association (LVIA) office, in Meru.

3.1 Hygiene and Sanitation Campaign Messages During the refresher PHAST Training Course which was conducted for 3 days in August 2009, the participants in this course came up with the following messages which were to be used in the Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion campaign in Tharaka, Meru Central (Imenti & Buuri Districts) and Meru North (Tigania) Districts. These messages are as shown in Table 2 here below:- Table 2: Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign Messages Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign Messages 1. Defecation in the river spreads diseases 2. Defecation in the forest/bush is unhygienic and also spreads diseases 3. Build and use latrines. Ventilated Improved Pit Latrine (VIP) is best to keep flies

away. 4. Cook food properly and store it safely 5. Ensure your water is safe before drinking; by boiling or fetching from a safe

source. Tap, harvested Rain Water, Protected Wells are usually safe water sources.

6. Clean and store your utensils properly away from domestic animals 7. Wash hands with soap or ash before handling food and after using the latrine 8. Maintain personal hygiene 9. Keep your compound clean (ensure children feaces are disposed safely). 10. Bad hygiene behaviors e.g. bathing in rivers washing clothes in rivers can

contaminate water sources. 11. Maintaining good personal hygiene prevents people from contracting diseases. 12. Store water in clean containers. 13. Use clean containers to fetch and store water

These messages were extensively used during the campaign in various sub-locations.

This was quite an impressive achievement by the group of Hygiene and Sanitation Promoters who were involved in the Hygiene and Sanitation Campaign. For details related to these groups, please refer to Appendix III.

3.3 Constraints Encountered During the HS Promotion Campaign Several problems were encountered during the carrying out of Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion campaign. These were:-

• Fighting broke out in Tharaka during the Month of September through to November 2009. Conducting of the HS Promotion campaign was not possible in some areas because of insecurity.

• During the period from October through to December 2009, there was on-set of El Nino rains. Communication in some of the areas especially to Tharaka District was very problematic.

• The rainy period also hampered the progress of the Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion campaign.

As a result of the above reasons, the consultant requested for “No Cost Time Extension” of the end of consultancy from end of December 2009 to end of January 2010.

4.0 Achievements of HSP Campaign at the end of January 2010

4.1 Overall Household HS Promotion Campaign The House Hold Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign overall progressed well. The percentage of work done against the target is 1139 households against planned campaign to 1200 house holds up to December 2009. Ifone was to disregard the group meeting all together the achievement would have been ((1139)/1200)*100%. This would represent 95% of the targeted households were covered in the campaign. If one was to add the number of group members who represent households were to be added, the overall households addressed in the campaign was 5,092 households. The achievement is then 423%. This is quite an impressive achievement.

Refer to Tables 3 and 4.

4.2 School HS Promotion Campaign The School Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign overall went well. The number of schools involved in the campaign was 29 against the planned campaign to 15 schools up to January 2010. The achievement is 193%. This is quite a good achievement since the target was passed. Refer to Tables 3 and 4.

4.3 Group Meeting HS Promotion Campaign The group members addressed in the Hygiene and Sanitation Campaign were 3,953. This was a very good achievement especially when considers that the campaign was only in a period of 5 months. Two figures of group meetings held at L. Food at Thira Chiefs Camp at Barrier sub-location in Meru Central District and DO’s Office Meeting at Nkando sub-location in Meru North District amounting to 1800 and 1500 people respectively have been ignored since they could not be authenticated to prove their correctness. These figures are high but can be understood because DO’s and Chief’s meeting attendance is normally high. Refer to Tables 3 and 4.

5.0 Impact of the HSP Campaign Two forms were prepared and copies given to the HSPs to re-visit some of Households and Primary schools where hygiene and sanitation had been conducted to try and see whether there had been any change in terms of hygiene and sanitation status. The survey was done in January 2010. Refer to Appendix V for details related to the forms that were used for this exercise. As per the Logical Framework Table 6 prepared before the HS Promotion campaign, the Overall Goal, Project Purpose and Project Results/Outputs were detailed as shown below:-

R.2 (b) One (1) refresher PHAST training of duration of 3 days done in Meru North, Meru Central and Tharaka in August 2009 for HSPs.

5.1 Impact of HSP Campaign Promotion at Household - Sampling

Actual households visited during the hygiene and sanitation promotion campaign was 1,139 households. The target expected from the consultancy was 1,200 households. The number of households re-visited for the impact assessment in January 2010 was 169 households representing 14% of the consultancy target of 1200 households. Please refer to Table 7 presented here-below for more details.

5.1.1 Household General Environmental Sanitation After the campaign it was found that 91% of the household had improved the environmental sanitation as a result of the campaign. The households were still improving this aspect of hygiene and sanitation.

5.1.2 Refuse Disposal Refuse disposal was another aspect that was analyzed from the sample. After the campaign it was found that 93% of the household had improved the aspect of safe disposal of waste. Several compost pit have been prepared by the households. The households are 90% of those sampled. The households were still improving this aspect of hygiene and sanitation. Refer to Table 7 containing results of the analysis of the sample results.

5.1.3 Construction of New Latrines From the sampled household, 89% of the household had constructed new latrines. This is very encouraging and from discussions with the Hygiene and Sanitation Promoters the

18

percentage will be expected to increase since there is a lot of eagerness to construct new latrines for safe disposal of feaces. Table 7: Sampling for Measurement of Impact of Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign Done in January 2010

5.1.3 Latrine Cleanliness and Use by All For all members of household to be encouraged to use latrines for safe feaces disposal, then latrines must be clean and they must provide privacy. From the sample, 92% of households in the sample had clean latrines. As a result 93% of those sampled were using the latrines. Refer to Table 7 containing results of the analysis of the sample results.

5.1.5 Cleanliness of Area around the Latrine Cleanliness around the latrines has been substantially improved. It was found that in 95% of the households sampled, had clean area around the latrines devoid of children’s feaces. This then means that the households were very much aware of the need for safe disposal of children’s feaces safely. Refer to Table 8 containing results of the analysis of the sample results.

5.1.6 Hand Washing Improvement Hand washing especially after coming from the latrine or before eating food or before handling food is a very important hygiene behavior which should be adopted by the community. It was found from the sample that 83% of those sampled had adopted this hygiene behavior. A lot of households had introduced a hand washing facility especially near the latrines for the purpose of hand washing. Refer to Table 8 containing results of the analysis of the sample results.

5.1.7 Handling of Domestic Water at Household Water consumed at home often get polluted in the household because of unhygienic handling of water at home. In most cases water storage containers are not very clean since they are rarely cleaned. From the sample, it was found that 78% of the households had clean water containers. Refer to Table 8 containing results of the analysis of the sample results.

5.1.8 Drying of Utensils Using Dish Racks Dish rack technology for drying of utensils is being gradually accepted. Some of the reason why it is not being adopted was because of the windy condition of the area sampled. Some of the families had decided on having a dish rack located inside the house. Of those sampled 45% had constructed dish racks for drying of the utensils after washing them. Communities need to be encouraged to construct more dish racks. Refer to Table 7 containing results of the analysis of the sample results.

5.2.1 General Cleanliness of the School after the C ampaign From a sample of 17 schools that were assessed for hygiene and sanitation improvement, 100% of the visited schools, the students were found to have substantially improved their personal hygiene of the students.

5.2.2 Personal Cleanliness of the Pupils after the HSP Campaign The students’ personal hygiene was found to have substantially improved. Using a target of 15 schools, the percentage of school which had students whose personal hygiene had improved were 100%.

22

5.2.3 State of Latrine after the HSP Campaign The schools latrines were found to have substantially improved. Using a target of 15 schools, the percentage of school which had clean latrines were 100%.

5.2.4 Cleanliness around the Latrines The percentage of schools which had clean environment around the latrines was found to be 100%. There were no faeces around the latrines.

A lot of schools had hand washing facility near to the latrines. The facility was leaky tin type.

5.3 Discussion with HSPs on the Impact HS Promotion Campaign

As per hygiene and Sanitation Promoters, there has been general improvement of hygiene and sanitation situation in the project areas. This state of affairs is farther supported by Chapters 5.1 and 5.2. Discussions with HSPs during the monitoring mission conducted by consultants in January and February 2010 still supports this situation. Summary of the discussions made with the HSPs is as presented here-below. It should be taken into account that their comments are from their general observation of the state of Hygiene and Sanitation situation.

5.3.1 HS Improvement in Thiiti Sub-location Status One of the HSPs who was jointly in charge of sub-location with another, stated that as a result of the drought which had persisted before the onset of rains in December 2009, the community was not able to build a lot latrines. But since the situation had changed by January 2010, there are a lot of people eager to build good latrines. The one of HSP is catching on this big need for good latrines. He has constructed 5 latrines at Thiiti for a fee. There are three more households who want him to construct latrines for them. He informed the consultant that his labor cost is KShs. 4,000.00 per each latrine for simple pit latrine. For stone walled latrine, the labor cost is KShs. 12,000.00 per each latrine. The HSP also stated that there is an improved hand washing behavior. The other HSP, said that latrine construction has improved substantially with 5 VIP latrines constructed in the sub-location. At household level, the owners have adopted health enhancing behavior of washing hands after visiting a latrine and also before handling food. The owners of households have dug compost pits for safe disposal of domestic waste. She also stated that hygiene and sanitation in schools has substantially

23

improved. Children are washing hands after visiting latrines through use of a “leaky tin” facility.

5.3.2 HS Improvement in Kanjoro Sub-location Status One of the HSP, who was in-charge of the sub-location stated, Mrs. Velina Karimi stated that a lot of households have started constructing latrines. These are simple pit latrines whose superstructure is constructed out of mud and corrugated iron sheets. She also stated that the general hygiene and sanitation situation in her sub-location has improved substantially at household and at school level. The other HSP, Mr. Peter Kijiru, stated that 6 homes which had no latrines now have these facilities. In primary schools, the children are washing hands after visiting latrines through use of “leaky tin” facility. He also stated that personal hygiene has substantially improved in schools after the HSP campaign.

5.3.4 HS Improvement in Irunduni Sub-location The HSP in charge of the sub-location reported all the households have latrines. The owners of households are continuously improving the status of their latrines. The latrines are now being maintained clean through sweeping after spreading ashes.

5.3.5 HS Improvement in Gatue Sub-location Status The HSP, Mr. Cyprian Mutugi, who was in-charge of the sub-location stated that hygiene and sanitation situation has improved substantially after the campaign at households and also in schools levels.

5.3.6 HS Improvement in Rukurini Sub-location Statu s The HSP reported that hygiene and sanitation situation has improved after the HS promotion campaign at households and also in schools levels.

5.3.7 HS Improvement in Urru Sub-location Status Mr. Jacob Mithika, the HSP, stated that he had visited three households one of which did not have latrines for safe disposal of human faeces. He stated after the HS promotion campaign, the household had dug a pit and now they were constructing the superstructure. The other household did not have a compost pit. They have since dug this facility. He informed there is no longer children’s faeces scattered around the compound like before. The compound is now clean. The other household did not have a hand washing facility located near the latrine. Now they have this facility and it is being used. He told the consultant that 7 latrines have been constructed since they campaign was started. Household members have adopted good hygiene and sanitation behavior.

5.3.8 HS Improvement in Mbaranga Sub-location -Stat us The HSP, Mr.James Mwambia and Mr. Paul Murangiri, who were in-charge of the sub-location stated that:-

� According to their estimate, 60% of the households have adopted food hygiene and sanitation.

24

� They stated the rest of the people have not adopted the behavior because of illiteracy.

� Community pressure for those who do not have latrines to construct some has started building up. This is because the community now understands how diseases are spread and how the disease transmission routes could be blocked. The continuation of open defecation by those who do not have latrines continuously expose the rest of the community to diseases.

� People are now washing their hands after visiting latrines and before handling food.

� In the market centers hotels are now offering hand washing facilities. The latrines are now clean.

� The waste disposal has also improved. Five shop owners out of 25 have dug waste pit latrines. Other shop keepers have given a deadline to dig latrines.

Kiithe Primary School is a school whose pupils have adopted good hygiene and sanitation behavior. They have done the following:-

� They have safe water storage for students located at teachers’ office � Hand washing after use of latrines and before eating is being practiced by the

pupils. This behavior has taken root after the HS promotion campaign. � Personal hygiene amongst the pupils has also improved.

The sub-location has now seen construction of 26 latrines since the hygiene and sanitation campaign was launched.

5.3.9 HS Improvement in Ametho Sub-location Status Mr. James Mbundi and Grace Nkatha estimated that 85% of households have improved hygiene and sanitation situation. This is a new settlement in the area and as a result latrine coverage is very low in this settlement. They stated that:-

� A lot of families had no latrines. � Five latrines have been constructed. � Since the HSP campaign started, 70 latrines have been constructed. � Children’s faeces are being safely been disposed-of. � There is a hurried construction of latrines by members of the household as a

result of public pressure for all households to have their latrines for safe disposal of faeces. These latrines are being used by all.

� Community is very eager to construct more latrines. � School hygiene has improved in Ametho Sub-location and school children

have embraced the hand washing behavior. � Most schools have hand washing facilities and person hygiene has also

improved. � School latrines are now kept clean.

25

5.3.10 HS Improvement in Kirwiro Sub-location Statu s Mrs. Lucy Igoki and David Gatobu Muriithi stated that the following has been achieved:-

� Leaky tin facility has been adopted in 12 shops in the market centers. � Six compost pits have been constructed at the market centers. � People have adopted boiling of water for human consumption � Only 3 households have no pit latrines. During the campaign 5 pit latrines

have been constructed. � It is only 5 families that do not have pit latrines. All other households have pit

latrines. � Hand washing behavior has been adopted by most of the people. Only 7

families are yet to adopt this behavior. � Latrines are now clean. � Water storage facilities are clean. Ten such families have clean water storage

facilities.

5.3.11 HS Improvement in Mugae Sub-location Status Mrs. Jane Njugue stated that:-

� Six compost pits have been constructed at the market centers. � Leaky tin facility has been adopted in shops in the market centers. � Only 2 households have no pit latrines. During the campaign 5 pit latrines

� Community has dug more pit latrines and � The personal hygiene of school children has improved.

6.0 Post HSP Campaign Monitoring Forms. The consultant prepared three monitoring forms to be used by the Catholic Diocese of Meru Water Department to monitor the progress of HSP campaign after the end of this contract. Details related to these forms are as provided in Appendix VI.

26

7.0 Stakeholder Meeting Called to Discuss Way Forward

7.1 Specific Objective related to Stakeholder Meeting The specific objectives related to Stakeholder Meeting called to plan continuation of Hygiene and Sanitation promotion campaign after WATSAN consultancy ends at the end of January 2010. The objectives of the one day meeting were to:-

1. Brief the stakeholders within the target areas on Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign that have been going on from August 2009 and also to inform the stakeholder about various supports that has been provided to Hygiene and Sanitation Promoters (H&SPs) while they have been conducting the campaign.

2. Present a brief on linkage to HSPs made to existing water projects, Catholic Parishes and Rain Water Harvesting Groups (RWHGs) within their localities;

3. Discuss what needs to be done for the on-going campaign to continue after the end of WATSAN Consultants consultancy. From the recommendations of the meeting, then the WATSAN Consultant was to prepare a report containing recommendations on how the H&S promoters will continue to operate beyond the contract period. HSPs will be expected to continue the campaign with little or no external support and roles and responsibilities of relevant stakeholders for the sustainability of the activity after the end of the project;

4. Discuss in depth workshop recommendations with the contracting authority, HSPs and stakeholders during this workshop.

7.2 Workshop Recommendations The workshop recommendations after lengthy discussions were as listed here below:-

1. The stakeholder should provide a token equal to KShs. 1,200 per month as honoraria to support HSPs so as to continue with the hygiene and sanitation campaign. These strake-holders include; Catholic Diocese of Meru, Water projects like Kanoo-Mula, Mukothima, Gatunga and Kithiima Water Supply Projects. Other Stakeholders who could use services of HS also included the Rain Water Harvesting Groups. Another stakeholder who could use the services of HSPs was identified as Ministry of Public Health especially the Public Health Department. This service would depend on the need of HS Promotion need of each stakeholder.

2. The stakeholders should continue using services of Hygiene and Sanitation Promoters.

3. The stakeholders should continue supervising the activities of Hygiene and Sanitation Promoters.

27

4. The Catholic Diocese of Meru (CDM) should play a leading role in ensuring that the HSPs are given all the necessary support.

5. CDM should ensure the monitoring tools have been used, data generated from the forms analyzed and a feed back provided and necessary action taken.

6. CDM should also assign targets to be achieved monthly. 7. CDM to design short term contracts for HSPs so as to avoid problems with

labor laws. 8. Future selection of HSPs should be from stable community elements like mature

men and women so as ascertain sustainability.

8.0 Conclusion and Recommendation The behavior change takes quite a bit of time. For one to be able to evaluate the impact of Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion campaign, at least one should do that after 1 to 2 years for one to expect good results. The general hygiene and sanitation situation in the project area has substantially improved during the Hygiene and Sanitation Promotion Campaign period. The HSP campaign should have continued for at least 12 months as opposed to 5 months. This would not have been possible because of the funding period The stakeholders should continue supporting the HSP groups. These groups are a very useful resource at the grass root since they have good capacity in promotion of Hygiene and Sanitation. These groups could also be used in other types of campaign; de-worming of primary School children, carrying of HIV/AIDS control campaign. These groups were advised, by the WATSAN consultants that they needed to get registered by the Ministry of Youth & Women and Social Services. The consultants sent them copies of a sample group member’s associations’ constitution which they could use as a reference document while preparing their groups constitution.
