Scaling Up Strategy for WASH in Schools in Zambia
MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, SCIENCE, VOCATIONAL TRAINING AND EARLY EDUCATION
• Pop: Approx 15 mio• Pop. dens 21/sq km• Approx 9000
schools, of which 1/3 community schools
KEY ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED• In 2012 > 80% of Schools did not have adequate sanitation
facilities (Bottleneck analysis/ proposal for interim package)
• 58.5% Government school coverage with permanent toilets (MESVTEE 2013) - BUT
• most often high pupil:toilet ratios
• community schools not counted
• 35% of facilities non-functional (Sustainability checks, UNICEF, 2012)
• Generally: lack of Handwashing facilities at schools & Handwashing as practice poorly adopted
• Lack of comprehensive WASH in Schools Standards & Guidelines (including hardware AND software)
• Limited consultation & coordination with MESVTEE• Poor monitoring & reporting on key WASH indicators
Impact of Sanitation on Girls’ enrollment, repetition, dropout

Outputs expected end 2015> produce National Guidelines > produce toolkit/minimum package for scaling up
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS - UPSTREAM
Adoption of Interim Comprehensive WASH Package • in 2013 - as response to provide solution for scaling up
sanitation status in rural Government schools• Cost of design approx. USD1000/drophole
= divided by approx. 2.5• toilet:pupils ratio brought down to 1:50 -> For same cost, possible to target 4x more schools
+• HARDWARE-SOFTWARE integration
In line with SLTS Guidelines (hygiene practices / outreach)• Mass hand washing station• MHM + Girls privacy + washing facility

Original latrine design USD2500/ drophole pupil:toilet 30:1
2014 Low cost design < USD500/drophole pupil:toilet
ratio 50:1 Community SchoolsX4 X2
Schools reached with same budget
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS – UPSTREAM & DOWNSTREAM
