b. INDICATIVE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT AND LESSONS LEARNED / EMERGING LESSONS

1. Narrative of emerging / indicative impacts of the project: anecdotal accounts of positive effects/changes in lives/workings of beneficiaries, supported by basic information / data

The identification and selection of priority sites (barangays) in the target LGUs based on the poorest / lowest access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene, has been valuable to programme implementers and its main local partner, the Regional WATSAN Hubs, in planning for specific WASH interventions to alleviate the present conditions of the beneficiaries. More importantly, the LGUs have realized that as duty-bearers, water availability alone is not sufficient, but must provide for clean and safe drinking water, complemented by affordable and quality sanitation and hygiene services. This affirmation was demonstrated during the Training of Facilitators on Results- based iWaSH Sector Planning where both LGUs and Regional WATSAN Hubs developed the LGUs’ initial Results (and Resources) Framework based on the changes/impacts on WASH that they would like to achieve in the short and medium terms. The data analytics were very useful in this activity as LGUs have a clearer grasp on their WASH conditions, and where to focus and maximize their interventions to benefit more communities. The training also equipped the participants on how to monitor and evaluate their expected results and targets based on a Results-based M&E Framework. The training was also an opportunity to validate the data reported from the assessments conducted.

The data findings thru the integrated WASH assessments have also been validated in recent scoping missions conducted by the PMO and UNICEF in May 2016, especially on sanitation needs and social preparation activities for WASH—further firming up the list of LGU priority sites. In the said missions, sanitation needs and challenges have become more apparent due to high costs for its construction, further discouraging communities to have one. In a far-flung community in Mapanas, a barangay member’s toilet amounted to a hefty Php42,000.00 due to high costs of labor and materials which took several months to finish. Hauling of a bag of cement alone from the poblacion costs about Php100.00, and labor for building hollow blocks costs Php10.00-15.00 per piece. Sadly, even given the high costs for construction, the facility does not pass sanitation standards as only the walls of the septic tank were cemented/sealed leaving the bottom open. This, together with the rest of the OD community members, contributes to the contamination of the nearby water supply, which is also experiencing shortage due to the hot summer months. Low cost sanitation technologies being introduced by the programme can address this challenge and will benefit several barangays that cannot afford standard toilet facilities. This barangay is also one of the beneficiaries of the SALINTUBIG project under the programme.

In the same scoping mission, the WQM testing kit given to the Rural Health Unit of Mapanas, is continuously being used to further test the other water sources in the municipality. The WQM testing kits have been very useful for identifying water sources that tested positive for E.Coli and/or Total Coliform so that immediate actions can be done. To date, there are 25 water sources that are contaminated with E.Coli and 75 sources with total coliform in seven (7) barangays reported by the MPDO/MHO. Based on the water test results, immediate interventions done included distribution of purification tablets, education of communities regarding the contamination especially those positive for E.Coli, and advice to disinfect or boil their drinking water, or as an alternative, buy bottled water. The municipality has allotted an initial Php30,000 for the purchase of re-agents to continue with their water quality tests. At the time of the mission, the MHO shared that there is already a diarrhea outbreak in the province which included some of the programme’s priority sites. Programme partners e.g. UNICEF, WHO and DOH have already met and planned for immediate and remedial measures in the province.

Another significant observation among communities visited, is that during small talks with HH members and barangay captains, they are not only being oriented about the programme but also (informally) being educated about the importance of WASH and how it is undeniably linked to their health and wellness. Given this shared information, they are able to articulate more their problems and needs on WASH, admit to have high OD practices in their areas due to lack of sanitation facilities and proper education on sanitation & hygiene, and most importantly, express their willingness to cooperate and even organize themselves to participate in specific WASH programs and undertake the management and operations of the proposed WASH facilities to be provided by the programme.

Firming up Partnerships and Increasing Capacities of the Regional WATSAN Hubs on iWaSH

To date, all amended MOAs between the Regional WATSAN Hubs and the DILG have been signed by all responsible parties. A planning workshop will be conducted in July 2016 to detail activities that needs to be implemented at the local level, guide the Regional Hubs on the programme monitoring and reporting processes, establish local institutional arrangements and coordination mechanisms, and identify further support/assistance e.g. technical/advisory assistance, trainings, funds, etc. to be provided by the programme. Even with the withdrawal of two member organizations namely, the Dipolog Water District and CESCOD in Region 9, the Regional Hubs are strong in their commitment to assist in implementing all activities under the programme as demonstrated in the signed MOAs.

The Regional WATSAN Hubs were recipients to two (2) trainings for this quarter, namely the “Training of Facilitators on Results-based iWaSH Sector Planning,” that equipped them with the knowledge and skills on how to conduct the Results-based Integrated Safe Water Sanitation and Hygiene Planning Process to assist beneficiary LGUs in crafting their Local iWaSH sector plans (scheduled on August 2016); and the Training on “Introduction to Sanitation Concepts and Approaches” conducted by UNICEF-DOH-WHO, an initial training intervention to equip them with the technical and management expertise in formulating and implementing sanitation projects within an iWaSH framework. Both trainings have been useful in advancing further the iWaSH concept and strategy among members of the RHubs, with the end goal of developing them as iWaSH champions. The RHubs will be further trained on Water Safety Planning, Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), iWaSH Infrastructure Design (DED & FS Preparation), Community Organizing, and Knowledge Management.

Communications and Advocacy Initiatives on iWaSH

iWaSH brochures have been distributed and disseminated in all three (3) target regions, as well as during workshops, meetings, and trainings conducted by the programme. With the UNV Communications Associate on board, the programme now has its official Facebook IWASHPH and Twitter accounts #iwash_ph as social media platforms to continuously promote important events and activities about the programme. Only a month after its launch in June 2016, the iWaSH FB page has reached a total of 103 likes. Based on data analytics provided in FB, women aged 45-54 are the majority of the visitors engaged in the page in the last 4 weeks. In all trainings and activities, the SDGF Visual Identity Guidelines are strictly followed in training backdrops, presentation materials, among others.

Scoping missions on the status of communications in Municipality of Mapanas revealed that there is no dedicated communications officer. Assigned LGU officers for projects and programs double as information/communications persons in the process. In terms of WASH, there were no efforts on communicating its importance. The only time “water” was officially communicated/promoted was during the construction of the Level II facilities facilitated by foreign donors several years ago. This is also true for the Municipality of Bobon, where WASH is not promoted, even with a dedicated communications officer on board. These initial findings will be an important input to crafting the Communications Plan under the programme, which will later on be used to guide the development of LGU communications plans on iWaSH.

Other specific contributions of the programme are detailed in the succeeding sections.

2. Emerging/indicative contribution to sub-outcome and outcome

Outcome: “Empowered citizens and resilient communities with access to safe water and sanitation services, live healthy and productive lives through integrated water resources management”

Sub-Outcomes:

a. Increased participation of women and girls in planning, decision-making, monitoring and implementation of safe water, sanitation and hygiene projects and programs. o 2014 baseline for number of women participating in water and sanitation programmes is at 129. o Target is 5% increase based on the baseline.

Based on activities conducted from April-June 2016, a total of fifty-two (52) women have participated in trainings on Results-based iWaSH Sector Planning and Introduction to Sanitation Concepts and Approaches. Community members visited in the last scoping mission in two municipalities involved largely women composed of HH members including girls, barangay health workers, and a barangay captain. The said mission initially assessed women’s (and girls) perspective on the state and conditions of their access to WASH, and also their willingness to actively participate in the specific activities of the programme by organizing themselves to manage and operate newly- constructed/rehabilitated WASH facilities which includes including payment of tariff for potential Level III water systems, and tariff collection.

b. Reduction on incidence of water-borne diseases and practice of “open defecation” in target municipalities based on increased access to water services and improved sanitation and advocacy campaigns on hygiene. o 2013 baseline of 1,200 cases/incidences of water-borne diseases in the 10 sites; o Practice of open defecation in target areas is high (60%-70%) o Targets2 are: 5% reduction on incidence of water-borne diseases and 12 barangays are declared Zero Open Defecation (ZOD) sites.

Provision of Safe Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Services

The DILG has finalized the 2016 GOP allocations amounting to $2.5M against the original $1.5M counterpart funds. Four hundred twenty-five and seven hundred forty-five thousand dollars ($425,745) were already obligated for downloading to the DILG-Region. Said GOP allocations will increase remarkably the original programme targets of 4,000 households that will be connected to safe water supply, which will also cover possible interventions on sanitation and hygiene to be integrated in the technical design. Each selected barangay has an average of 200-300 HHs, where target sites per LGU are 5-8 barangays at a minimum.

Part of the programme’s assistance to beneficiary LGUs is the technical review of the 2015-2016 SALINTUBIG projects, specifically the LGU’s Feasibility Study (FS) and Detailed Engineering Design (DED). An iWaSH Infrastructure Engineer was commissioned by the programme for the said task to ensure that water, sanitation and hygiene facilities are already integrated in the technical proposal and design of the LGUs where the Integrated Framework on WASH is being implemented. Initial reviews were done in the Municipalities of Mapanas, Siayan and Sindangan where priority sites/barangays for the SALINTUBIG project have earlier been identified. Findings on the initial technical assessment on the approved plan and proposed program of work of LGU Mapanas revealed that the actual design of the facility do not meet the standard water capacity requirements for a reservoir i.e. the proposed capacity of the reservoir is only 14,500 liters which is only 13% of the required volume against the recommended volume of 108,000 liters. These and other future findings and recommendations will be submitted to DILG Regions concerned so that immediate revisions and other actions can be done by the LGU. The iWaSH technical drawings will be one of the main reference and requirement for the release of the SALINTUBIG grants under the programme.

Trainings and actual conduct of CLTS and other related ZOD programmes will be implemented prior to the construction/provision of sanitation facilities by the LGU. This is to ensure that OD practices are not only reduced but totally eliminated based on programme targets.

2 Specific targets to be established based on priority sites for infra and capacity development interventions in the sector plan.

3. Include one (1) paragraph briefly describing key lessons learned / emerging lessons during the subject quarter

The practice of having activity designs of trainings, workshops, missions, and meetings reviewed and approved by the Technical Working Group prior to implementation should be strictly followed. This prevents any misunderstanding/misinformation on implementation, ensures that all inputs and suggestions by programme partners are considered in the design, all issues and/or concerns are addressed prior to implementation, and most importantly, to ensure that the iWaSH framework is embedded in the design even if the activity is specific only or focused on either safe water or sanitation, and vice versa. It is also important that the TWG strictly follow its agreed monthly schedule for the conduct of meeting. The planned meeting in May did not push thru due to competing activities among programme partners which delayed a number of deliverables based on important decisions to be made by the TWG. Additionally, the TWG should also ensure that all activities to be undertaken especially with the LGUs should involve the Regional WATSAN Hubs, as main partner and local delivery mechanism for capacity development interventions on iWaSH. Otherwise, programs/projects especially in the communities will not be sustained due to lack of available and dedicated person(s) in the LGU. It will also defeat the RHubs’ purpose of providing capacity assistance to LGUs not only within but beyond the programme’s period of implementation.

1. Qualitative description In Governance Mechanisms (Participation in Project Board (including representation of PCW), TWGs, Experts’ Group and other governance mechanisms set up by the Project, e.g. National multi-sectoral committees)

At the national level, the following multi-sectoral groups are in place:  The Technical Working Group (TWG) continues to involve women and men in major decision making pertaining to the implementation of the joint programme;  The Sanitation Task Group (STG) makes important decisions on sanitation and hygiene approaches that the joint programme will undertake; and  The Philippine Development Forum (PDF) Basic WATSAN Task Force which is also being supported by the joint programme make critical decisions on the policy track of basic water, sanitation and hygiene for government.  For the 2nd quarter, the TWG met two (2) times, on April 8 and June 29, 2016.

Status of participation in WASH governance bodies supported by SDGF PRO WATER WASH Body Status/Date Males Females SDGF PRO WATER TWG Participation status of males 3 9 and females as of April 8 SDGF PRO WATER TWG Participation status of males 6 8 and females as of June 29

 Experts commissioned by the programme include 1 Knowledge Manager, 1 Institutional Development Specialist, 1 iWaSH Infrastructure Engineer, and a UNV Communications Associate. In Capacity Building and Policy, Planning and Programming  The three Regional WATSAN Hubs have been trained using the Results Based Integrated Safe Water Sanitation and Hygiene Sector Plan module and planning tools where GAD4 mainstreaming specifically promoting the conduct of gender analysis and participatory gender audits as mandatory actions for developing, implementing and monitoring of WASH policies, programmes and projects are integrated in the training design and module. In turn, the 10 LGUs will be trained by the Regional Hubs using the same module and planning tools in developing their LGU iWaSH Sector Plans.  Missions conducted in Mapanas and Bobon (May 24-27, 2016 ) assessed women’s (and girls) perspective on the state and conditions of their access to WASH, and also their willingness to actively participate in the specific activities of the programme by organizing themselves as WASH advocates, monitors, and local partners/implementers to manage and operate newly-constructed/rehabilitated WASH facilities.  Standard technical drawings, DED, and FS for iWASH are designed to be easily understood by project planners and implementers, with or without technical/engineering backgrounds. The proposed design of the iWaSH facilities promotes the protection/safety especially of women and children.

Knowledge Manager to package immediately once approved by the TWG.  Planning Tools on Results Based Integrated Safe Water Sanitation and Hygiene Sector have been developed and used in Training of Facilitators in April 2016. A Training Module will be developed.  Official social media platforms for iWaSH have been created and launched in June 2016. These include a Facebook page - IWASHPH and a Twitter account - iwash_ph. A website dedicated to iWaSH is already being planned.  A Communication Plan is being drafted based on LGU assessments and inputs from the TWG, DILG-OPDS  A Knowledge Management Framework and Strategy is also being drafted which will guide the Regional WATSAN Hubs in the creation, use, sharing, and proper storage of knowledge generated in the implementation of the iWaSH approach in the 10 LGU sites.  Standard Technical Drawings on iWaSH are on-going. f.
