BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAMMEThe national Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Irrigation Programme (Ru-WatSIP) is one of the sixclosely interlinked National Development Programmes of Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation andDevelopment (MRRD) in Afghanistan. The inception of the national Ru-WatSIP dates back withsetting up of other national programmes at MRRD. The core concept for having nationalprogrammes under the framework of MRRD was to create a more strategic, long-term approachand capacity building in order to develop and improve coordination between organizational actorsin humanitarian aid, local governance, recovery and development in Afghanistan.

The Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) is currently implemented through differentexecution modalities:National Execution (NE) by the MRRD Partners by United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF),Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Ministry of Education (MoE), International Non-GovernmentalOrganizations (INGOs), and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

Under the NE, which began activities in 2003, three areas such as access to safe water supply,sanitation services and hygiene promotion were implemented by MRRD/Ru-WatSIP respectively.The MRRD/Ru-WatSIP, with support from UNICEF, Afghanistan Peace and ReintegrationProgramme (APRP)/United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Norway, Spanish, WorldBank (WB) and Ministry of Finance (MoF) has been executing projects to provide water supply andsanitation services in rural areas. The responsibility of Ru-WatSIP in this regard is to formulatestrategy, develop policy, plan, coordinate and implement the rural water supply, sanitation andhygiene promotion activities undertaken by private sectors, INGOs/NGOs and the ruralcommunities namely Community Development Councils (CDCs) and District DevelopmentAssemblies (DDAs).

Initially, Ru-WatSIP was designed to focus on three priority areas, covering 27 provincesparticularly impacted during the post-conflict and transitional period, including areas withpopulations directly affected by years of war and internal conflict, the return of refugees andInternally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and areas hit by natural disasters such as drought.However, soon after the programme was launched, Ru-WatSIP was extended to cover the entirecountry to respond to emergency needs of vulnerable populations in other areas of the country.As both the ministry and the Ru-WatSIP have increased their programme management capacity,additional projects for rural development have been formulated and implemented under theRu-WatSIP framework.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

The national Ru-WatSIP was established to provide safe potable water and sanitation facilities as abasic need for all rural inhabitants of the country. Accessing to safe water and sanitation facilitiesin turn would result in a significant impact on the health situation in rural areas by introducinghygiene behaviors’ change. As one of the national programme to be nationally executed throughMRRD, the programme’s policy, design and implementation is led by MRRD, which also providesits general coordination and the oversight of all project activities. MRRD has maintained a firmcommitment to the programme’s development, and under the NE modality, is successfullysteering and managing Ru-WatSIP.

The provision of water and sanitation facilities to rural communities in Afghanistan has been andcontinues to be the primary activities of the development aid community. Until recently the Waterand Sanitation Group (WSG), comprising many of the stakeholders, effectively coordinated thework carried out in this sector. As a first and important step, MRRD developed in 2004 a NationalPolicy Framework for the rural water supply and sanitation sector. That policy document wasrevised in 2007 and then in 2010 into the present Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)policy framework. The current WASH policy integrates the successful methods and practicescurrently used by the key implementing agencies including relevant United Nations (UNs) agenciesand NGOs.

The main objectives of the Ru-WatSIP WASH policy are as below:

Improve access of the rural population to 25 litres per capita per day (LPCD) from 27% to 50% in2014, and 70% to 100% in 2016 and 2020 respectively and improve potable quality of drinkingwater based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

Make all villages/rural communities in the country 100% Open Defecation Free (ODF) and fullysanitized by 2020, and 50% and 70% by 2014 and 2016 respectively.

Provide hygiene education with appropriate follow-up activities in schools, households andcommunities for sustained behavior change and adoption of safe hygiene practices.

The revision of 2010 WASH policy finalized by end of June 2016, in which main focus paid toaddress the progress made and to address new challenges. In this manner, suitable changes madeto the policy if required, and strategies and investments can be modified accordingly.

The national Ru-WatSIP is composed of seven main units:

HYGIENE PROMOTION UNIT: Adopt people-oriented strategies in priority areas through whichcommunity members play an active role in planning and organization of hygiene education.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION UNIT: This section divided into two sub-sections namelyengineering and implementation sections. The engineering section is responsible to develop andstandardize the technical designs and options, survey and design of projects in different provinces,while the implementation unit has the project implementation responsibility.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION UNIT: Accountable and effective follow-up and monitoring ofproject activities are established and functional since September 2013.

WATER QUARLITY CONTRL UNIT: The chemical/physical and bacteriological laboratoryestablished and is functional since 18th July 2011 for testing of basic 29 water quality parameters.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM/GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM UNIT:The Management Information System/Geological Information System (MIS/GIS) unit establishedand has been working on a web-based project reporting system allowing visitors to select filteringcriteria and download dynamically generated reports in excel format. The system will be used forthe sector balanced investment and service delivery, informed planning, coordination, monitoringand evaluation both at national and sub-national levels.

ADVOCACY AND COMMUNICATION UNIT: The establishment of Communication Unit (CU)resulted in more smooth reflection of national Ru-WatSIP internal and external project’s activities.

HYDRO-GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSIC UNIT: The Hydro-Geology and Geophysical (H&G)investigation unit established to search the hidden sub-surface of hydro-geological condition,delineation of sub-surface water bearing horizons, identification of fractured and faulted zones inhard rock areas, estimation of overburden thickness and delineation of bed rock topography andidentification of suitable areas/locations for wells.

MAJOR ACTIVIES AND ACHIEVMENTS1) HYGIENE PROMOTION UNIT

During the 3rd quarter of 2016, the Hygiene Promotion Unit (HPU) launched Community Led-TotalSanitation (CLTS) approach in Badghis, Bamyan, Daykundi, Helmand (funding from UNICEF) andBadakhshan, Ghor, Farah and Nangarhar provinces (funding by MoF). The HPU has verified 64 andcertified 121 villages as ODF in Badghis, Bamyan, Daykundi and Helmand provinces. Meanwhile,this unit conducted CLTS triggering in 394 villages in all mentioned provinces.

Through implementation of CLTS approach, the HPU succeeded to motivate the community tobuild 984 new latrines in the aforementioned provinces. In fact, in the mentioned provincespeople used to defecate in the open areas, but with the CLTS approach implementation thecommunity people were encouraged to build latrines and use it for defection purposes. Likewise,the HPU encouraged community people through CLTS approach to improve their old latrines.

As a result, during this quarter around 4,626 latrines have been improved by the community.Furthermore, during 3rd quarter of 2016, the HPU has trained 731 community elders and 1,323Family Health Action Groups (FHAGs) members in Helmand province in order to enhance theirknowledge in hygiene, which will then lead to replication of hygiene messages to other communitypeople including their families.

IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES

In 3rd quarter of 2016, the programme hasn’t faced any main challenges apart from security problem insome provinces.

PROJECT RISKS AND ISSUES

RISKS

Security: As usual the security remains the single most prominent constraint for the programmeactivities and has caused delay in a number of development projects, but in the past one and halfmonth, the unstable situation caused the hygiene and sanitation activities to stop in the relateddistricts e.g.,Nawa district of Helmand and center of Farah province.

ISSUES

Low capacity of both the government and private sector at sub national level: Lowlevel of qualified staff related to water supply and sanitation, lack of a sector wide capacitydevelopment plan including human, institutional and enabling environment, low level of humanresource management and logistical capacities, lack of education and training opportunities forthe WASH staff are the main factors counted so far.

Procurement: One of the major delays in implementation of the planning has been due to thecentral procurement process. Low numbers of competent companies in WASH sector is also achallenge which cause was procurement process. In addition, delay in budget payment by thegovernment and MoF has also caused that most of the projects cannot start on time and led todelay in project completion. Under SAARC development funding, the ACCLTS project is underprocurement process from long time. It means that main challenge for SDF projects is delay inprocurement process. The target is the construction of six small pipe schemes and implementationof hygiene and sanitation models in selected communities of each province.

Monitoring and Evaluation: The M&E unit of Ru-WatSIP is leading to establish an M&Esystem in WASH sector and drafted WASH M&E manual. To implement the manual there is a needfor active participation and dedication of time and resources of WASH partners.

FUTURE PLANS

Building from previous experiences, and taking into account the feedback collected fromcommunity, donors, and main implementation partners; Ru-WatSIP has acknowledged the need toimprove its institutional structure to improve the capacity for service delivery to localcommunities. The new programme structure will be developed while the Citizen’s Charterprogramme will start practically.

Nimroz 2nd phase of the drinking water project has been started which provides clean water to allZaranj city and its surrounding villages. The length of this water supply project is 243km throughwhich more than 90,000 individuals including schools, health centers and public buildings werebenefited. The ministry has also taken the initiatives in leading developing of the Citizen Charter’sconcept as per the instruction of the senior management of the government and WASH is one ofthe main strategic focuses under this concept. The project is going on smoothly and the progressof the planned activities is around 71%. The programme was officially launched by Excellency thePresident by October 2016.

Afghanistan Conference on Sanitation (AFSAN I): For the first time, Afghanistan plannedto conduct AFSAN in Afghanistan. The conference will be held in mid November 2016 and arepresentative of all SAARC countries will be attending this conference. This conference willprovide a momentum for all countries to share their experiences in regards of sanitation and froma political will for sanitation in Afghanistan. So far, the concept note, programme leaflet,programme abstracts are finalized and other preparation of the conference is under development.

ACCLTS: Through the support of MRRD and the Ru-WatSIP team, ACCLTS has been nationalizedand will be a major part of the Citizen’s Charter (CC) and the government has aimed to declare12,000 communities ODF in the next four years. The CC will start this year from October 16replacing the National Solidarity Programme (NSP) and all WASH related programme in theministry will be led and executed by Ru-WatSIP. Similarly, UNICEF supported CLTS implementationby Ru-WatSIP will continue collaborating to the CLTS scaling up in Afghanistan. A new request forprovision of WASH services in Bamyan, Ghor, Farah and Herat provinces has been submitted tothe Italian Cooperation which will be cleared till end of this year.

Regional Monthly Reporting Initiative: With the introduction of the NTA scale, the role ofthe Ministries is to manage and guide the staff in order for them to deliver “results for children”,based on the Joint Rolling Work plan of the three Ministries and the WASH section of UNICEF. Therole of UNICEF is to provide technical and financial support to the Ministerial Counterparts, and tomonitor and evaluate the performance of the NTAs. Since UNICEF is part of the UN system, theHACT procedures for financial payments, supervision and financial control have also becomemainstream since 2015-2016, and thus financial as well as quality control are part of themechanism.To be able to monitor and evaluate the activities of the NTAs, UNICEF-Ru-WATSIP is putting inplace a reporting system, which will allow the Provincial Authorities, the UNICEF Zonal offices, butalso the Ministries and UNICEF in Kabul to receive information of the NTAs on progress and results

in the field. These results in turn can be used to evaluate progress and to provide guidance, and toreport to donors.

Operation and Maintenance Strategy (O&M): The drafted O&M paper was scrutinized byRu-WatSIP and UNICEF and the problematic areas were highlighted and shared with keystakeholders for the comments and feedback. Comments from DACAAR, AKDN, Ru-WatSIP, MoEand WSG Volunteer member were received and will be presented on Sunday 16th October in whichon spot comments and ideas will be noted down for amendment. Afterwards, ideas will becompiled and incorporated into the paper and will be shared with stakeholders for their lastcomments, if any. The paper will be finalized and endorsed before the end of 2016.
