v WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Executive Summary i). Project Management Federal Level The initial TAT Services Contract expires on 17th March 2015. It was agreed after the Mid- Term Review Mission, in May-July 2014, that the current contract would be extended for a further two years by negotiated procedure. A no cost two month time extension addendum to the existing contract was prepared at the end of the reporting period to give time for the negotiated procedure to be put in place. Mr Depo Adenle, the IPE currently working in Osun State will retire at the end of the current contract so will not be available beyond March 2015. Mr Adebayo Alao, the IPE currently working in Cross River State, will transfer to Osun State and a new IPE will be recruited for the new services contract. The technical and financial proposals for the two year service contract extension were submitted to the NPC on 13th March 2015. A total of three international and three national senior experts and one junior expert were approved during the period. The Hydrogeology/Drilling Experts completed their inputs in September/October completing their final report “Review of the WSSSRP I drilling programme and recommendations for WSSSRP II” which was submitted to the NPC/EUD on 26th November 2014. The international WSS Engineer continued his inputs throughout the reporting period completing a total of 48 working days. The international and national IWRM experts made various inputs during the period (17 and 60 working days respectively). The national expert has been reviving/forming the Catchment Management Offices (CMOs) around the six states. The international Procurement Expert made inputs in September, October and November. The September mission report was included in the 3rd Six Monthly Report. He was supported by the Cross River Water and Sanitation Expert who has procurement experience. The two National Water Resources Policy Review experts mobilised in January 2015. The international expert made two trips to Nigeria. The Website Design and Management junior expert began his input in January, 2015. A draft website has been developed and is currently undergoing review by the programme staff. State Level The state Operational Programme Estimates (OPEs) expired at the end of October 2014. Cross River State managed to extend their original OPE to 17th March 2015 and received a further ₦ 4.797 million advance. All the states received new approved OPEs at the beginning of March 2015. The FMWR OPE expired at the end of February 2015. A new OPE has not yet been prepared. The PIAs and PRAs in the states continue to offer full support, although their input has been restricted since October 2014, due to the expiration of their OPEs and the restrictions on field trips. Community management activities in Kano State were also restricted due to the absence of a replacement Community Mobiliser. The PIAs and PRAs were fully involved in the production of the costed work plans to March 2015 which can be found in

1 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Annex 2. In Cross River State the PIA is responsible for the implementation of the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) programme, fully supported by WSSSRP II. There have been a number of personnel changes in the State PIAs:  In Jigawa State, the Director for Planning, Design and Statistics of MWR has retired and a new Director, Kabiru Inuwa has been appointed  In Osun State, the Imprest Administrator was replaced in November 2014. ii). Facilitation of the water and sanitation sector reform process Objective 1 - Improve Water Policy and Institutional Framework at Federal Level Result 1a - National Water Resources Bill is enacted and implemented Little progress has been made in moving forward the National Water Resources BIll due to a lack of FMWR funds to finance the inputs of the independent legal advisers on the technical sub-committees. It is hoped that further progress can be made after the national elections. At the request of the FMWR, two Water Policy Experts were recruited and started their work in January, 2015. They reviewed existing policy documentation in the FMWR and presented their interim findings at three meetings in February and March, 2015. It was determined that it was necessary to produce a new policy that would will look to the long term and lay down a set of functions for the FMWR that will make them the Ministry who have the overall responsibility for and the management of Nigeria’s water resources. Result 1b - Water is managed in accordance with IWRM principles A report on the Capacity Development Plan for the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission was produced and distributed in November, 2014. Following capacity building and technical support activities to State IWRM Committees in the six WSSSRP ll focal States and the NIWRMC, a National Workshop, held on the 2nd and 3rd of February, 2015, was organised to integrate the National IWRM Strategy and the strategic plans of the State IWRM Committees. The two day workshop was attended by around 80 participants from National level stakeholder organisations, the EU Niger Delta Support Programme, and Government and Civil Society organisations from the six focal WSSSRP II States. The next steps towards an integrated approach to IWRM planning and implementation were identified by all the states and the NIWRMC. Result 1c - National monitoring and evaluation system established in FMWR A three day National Monitoring and Evaluation workshop was held in Calabar from 24th – 26th September 2014 led by the FMWR. The meeting agreed that:  The existing National M&E Framework needs to be reviewed and/or reworked to reflect current realities. The framework is expected to cover the entire water resources sector rather than the current scope of WASH;  The harmonisation of Management Information Systems (MIS) in the sector M&E is required. The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Management Information System (WASHIMS), currently facilitated by UNICEF, is being considered as the base MIS.  WASHIMS should be reviewed to include urban and small town component indicators, which should be uploaded together with the baseline information.  While reviewing the existing M&E framework, the other areas of water resources should be included in the emerging National M&E Framework e.g. Irrigation and Dams etc. Small town and urban level indicators have been developed and validated. These will be uploaded into WASHIMS for the fourteen EU Focal states in the first instance. Further tools and instruments will be developed prior to full operationalisation of the small town and urban level MIS.

2 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 The results of the supplementary baseline survey in the six states was disseminated during a two-day workshop in Abuja (10th -11th December 2014). During the workshop the opportunity was taken to review the programme logical framework. It was agreed that a full review of the logical framework should be undertaken as soon as possible. Discussions on the establishment of a National Inter Agency Task Group on M&E resulted in the initial formation of an FMWR M&E Team which consists of representatives of all the functional departments of the Ministry. It will be coordinated by the Deputy Director, M&E in the PRS department and will drive the process of M&E reporting in the Ministry. Objective 2 - Improved water policy and institutional framework in the six focal states Result 2a - State Water Law is enacted and implemented No State Water Bills have yet been passed. In Kano the bill is just awaiting the Governor’s assent. In Jigawa and Anambra States the Bills are with the State Houses of Assembly - in Jigawa’s case for over a year. In Yobe, Cross River and Osun States the Bills are awaiting transfer to the House of Assembly. The State IWRM Sub-Committees in Anambra, Cross River and Jigawa States have conducted advocacy meetings with representatives of the State Houses of Assembly to promote the passage of the bills. The passage of the Bill in Osun State has been disrupted by the 2014 Governor’s election. Result 2b - Sector institutions structured in accordance with State Water Law This activity can only be implemented when the state water laws have been passed but the States continue to prepare for change by conducting institutional assessment and capacity building exercises and creating new technical units.

In Anambra State M&E units have been created in the PRS Department, and IWRM, Small Towns and Water Quality units have been created in the Water Supply Department of the Ministry of Water Resources. A capacity development plan was developed after a training needs assessment in January 2015 and training in the use of Microsoft software conducted as part of the plan.

In Cross River State a restructuring plan for the Ministry of Water Resources has been agreed, although implementation has been hindered by the lack of office space.

In Jigawa State, a workshop on WASH policy implementation has resulted in the appointment of Officers to WCCF/WCA, M&E and IWRM units in the MWR. The STOWA, with TAT assistance, established seven zonal LGA and WCA coalitions during January and February 2015. In Kano State, a Small Town Water Supply Unit (STU) has been established within the Department of Operation and Technical Services, KSWB to provide technical support to the small towns. Forty-four WASH/WCA offices have been established and LGA Officers appointed to manage activities in the respective LGAs. Result 2c - Budget for sector institutions to fulfil their mandate is secured Medium Term Sector Strategies (MTSSs) have been drawn up in Jigawa and Yobe States under SPARC, with the assistance of WSSSRP II. Only 30% of the water sector budget was utilised in Jigawa State. ₦ 21 billion was spent on water supply in Kano state in 2014, but the ₦ 1 billion allocated to the WSSSRP II programme was carried forward to the 2015 budget.

3 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Result 2d - States adopt IWRM principles in water resources management The new Cross River IWRM Committee was inaugurated in October 2014. The newly formed and re-invigorated IWRM Committees in all the states developed action plans which were presented at a workshop in Abuja in February 2015. The IWRM Committees in Cross River and Osun States formed a number of sub-committees to support their work. The IWRM Committee in Anambra State has been involved in the investigation of groundwater pollution in Nnaka community and with the WB erosion control programme. In Kano State the IWRM Committee has been involved in reviewing EIA reports for two hydropower plants and WB TRIMING workshop. Result 2e - Strategy for private sector participation in water supply and sanitation services delivery is developed and implemented With the exception of Anambra State, little activity has taken place on Private Sector Participation which will only be possible at the urban level after the passing of the outstanding Water Bills. In Anambra State, two PSP studies have been conducted in a small town and an urban area and a draft PSP strategy and guideline is currently being produced. In Yobe state the privately run toilets in the Damaturu bus station were observed to be still in operation although requiring some maintenance. Two STTA PPP experts have been proposed for the two year extension of the services contract. iii). Implementation of projects in small towns and urban areas Objective 3 - Support Urban and Small Town Water Institutions in the Six States to Deliver Sustainable Water Supply Service Result 3a - The management and financial viability of urban water institutions is improved The establishment of Water Consumers Consultative Forums (WCCF) continued in Jigawa and Osun States. A new WCCF unit is to be formed by the Jigawa State Water Board (JSWB) and the roles and responsibilities of the WCCF, JSWB and MWR have been agreed. In Osun State, work is going on to identify the water supply coverage area and the potential consumer groups to participate in the forum.

In Yobe State, the Water Corporation are now holding regular meetings to discuss day to day operations. Pipe laying and operation training for corporation staff was held in February 2015.

In Anambra State, the long running legal battle with the Water Corporation has been resolved, opening the way for the rehabilitation and development of urban water supply in the state. In Kano State, a capacity development plan has been produced from the results of an assessment of water sector agencies. The assessment also identified that the skills and number of staff are insufficient to meet water supply development requirements. Result 3b - Urban Water Works are rehabilitated and improved Procurement documents for all the Urban Priority and Main Works have been produced. The construction programme is currently delayed as not all States have deposited their 30% counterpart funds into a dedicated bank account. Only Anambra State has deposited sufficient funds for both the Main and the Priority Works. Osun State has sufficient funds to cover Priority works.

4 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Result 3c - Existing but non-functional water supply schemes in small towns rehabilitated and new water supply schemes constructed Procurement documents for all the Small Town Priority and Main works have been produced. The supplementary baseline survey exercise included customer enumeration in each of the small towns to confirm the number of people to be served by the new and rehabilitated schemes. Some redesign of the small town schemes has been required where the number of customers has proved to be lower than the original estimates. The construction programme is at the same stage as the urban programme with procurement only starting for Anambra and Osun States. Result 3d - Strategy for community-management of water supply facilities in small towns is developed and implemented All six states are implementing the community management guidelines and strategy which has been shared with the PIA and PRAs. Kano State has made limited progress due to the absence of a State Community Mobiliser. The WCAs have received community management training in all states with the exception of Kano State. The training includes soft skills (listening, communication, and facilitation). A series of WCA mentoring visits were conducted in Anambra, Cross River and Osun States. Village Health Promoter (VHP) groups were formed in Anambra Osun and Yobe States. School Environmental Health Clubs (EHCs) were formed in the three northern states. World Handwashing and Toilet days were celebrated in Anambra and Yobe States. Ten additional WCAs were formed in Cross River State. Result 4d - A state level monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, linked to the national M&E system is established M&E Units with desk officers where established in Anambra, Jigawa and Kano States. State Inter-Agency Task Groups (IATGs) were formed in Anmbra, Cross River, Osun and Yobe States developing work plans in Anambra, Cross River and Yobe States. M&E training was conducted in Cross River, Jigawa and Osun states including the M&E framework, an overview of the M&E system, M&E logical frameworks and an introduction to GIS. Validation of the supplementary baseline data collected in Kano State was completed at meetings in the two focal LGAs in November 2014. All the States participated in the national workshops on M&E indicators development and validation and baseline survey validation. iv). Information Processing and Monitoring In Anambra State the supplementary baseline survey has revealed specific areas where the programme needs to concentrate its efforts. Of particular concern is the poor sanitation coverage with open defecation rates of 43%. The implementation of Community Led Total Sanitation at rural, small towns and urban communities has therefore been prioritised. The customer enumeration exercise also revealed a willingness to pay for safe water and the readiness of customers to engage with private sector service providers in the small towns. v). Coordination The programme participated fully in the 2nd National Programme Steering Committee Meeting, hosted by the NDSP in November 2014. A WSSSRP II Mid-Term Review Workshop was held in November 2014 to discuss the final report of the evaluation mission distributed in October 2014. The main recommendations can be found in Annex 3. The recommendations will be incorporated into the next State and Federal work plans. Federal and State Level members of the TAT attended UNICEF meetings on the scheme of service for the LGA Wash Departments, held in Abuja and at Akawanga the beginning of March 2015.

5 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 In Cross River State, the TAT supports the conduct of monthly collaborative meeting of the rural and small town/urban components. Here, each component reports on its activities and common challenges are discussed with solutions proffered. The meeting includes the LGA WASH Coordinators and UNICEF WASH Consultants, RUWATSSA Directors and TAT key experts. The increased understanding and cooperation between the two components has led to joint activities. In Jigawa State, a workshop on strengthening of linkages between LGA WASH Departments and the STOWA has helped to coordinate WASH activities in the two focal LGAs. However, as recommended by the participants, there is a need for all 27 LGAs to be involved. In Kano State, the programme has requested SLOGOR to consider the WSSSRP II focal LGAs when selecting areas of operation. The TAT has been coordinating activities with RUWASA, UNICEF, the Ministries of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs (MoLG&CA), Health (MoH), Environment (MoEnv), Education (MoEdu), Agriculture (MoAG&NR), the HJRBDA, the Secondary School Management Board, CSOs and the two focal LGAs. In Osun State the SLOGOR project office opened on 21st January, 2015 and the TAT are in contact with them to seek any mutual activities. In Yobe State, The second State Steering Committee (SPSC) meeting was held on November 12, 2014

14 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 2.2 State Level At State level the Technical Assistance Team (TAT) consists of a State Institutional and Policy Expert (SIPE) and a Water Supply Expert (WSE) who are supported by a non-key expert State Community Mobiliser (SCM). The State TATs all report good relationships with the PIAs and PRAs.

The State TATs are all provided with furnished offices and some office equipment by their host Ministries, although in Osun State some of the furniture requires replacement. The TATs in Cross River and Kano States are still in temporary accommodation whilst their designated offices are being renovated.

The PIAs and PRAs in the states continue to offer full support, although their input has been restricted since October 2014, due to the expiration of their OPEs and the restrictions on field trips. Community management activities in Kano State were also restricted due to the absence of a replacement Community Mobiliser. The PIAs and PRAs were fully involved in the production of the costed work plans to March 2015 which can be found in Annex 2. In Cross River State the PIA is responsible for the implementation of the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) programme, fully supported by WSSSRP II. There have been a number of personnel changes in the State PIAs:  In Jigawa State, the Director for Planning, Design and Statistics of MWR has retired and a new Director, Kabiru Inuwa has been appointed  In Osun State, the Imprest Administrator was replaced in November 2014.

18 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 3 Facilitation of the water and sanitation sector reform process. 3.1 Objective 1: Improve Water Policy and Institutional Framework at Federal Level 3.1.1 National Water Resources Bill is enacted and implemented (Result 1a) Little progress has been made in developing the National Water Resources BIll due to a lack of FMWR funds to finance the inputs of independent legal advisers on the technical sub-committees. It is hoped that progress can be made after the national elections. At the request of the FMWR, two Water Policy Experts were recruited and started their work in January, 2015. They reviewed existing policy documentation in the FMWR and presented their interim findings at three meetings in February and March, 2015. It was determined that it was necessary to produce a new policy that would will look to the long term and lay down a set of functions for the FMWR that will make them the Ministry who have the overall responsibility for and the management of Nigeria’s water resources. 3.1.2 Water is managed in accordance with IWRM principles (Result 1b) A report on the Capacity Development Plan for the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission was produced and distributed in November, 2014. Following capacity building and technical support activities to State IWRM Committees in the six WSSSRP ll focal States and the NIWRMC, a National Workshop, held on the 2nd and 3rd of February, 2015, was organised to integrate the National IWRM Strategy and the strategic plans of the State IWRM Committees. The two day workshop was attended by around 80 participants from National level stakeholder organisations, the EU Niger Delta Support Programme, and Government and Civil Society organisations from the six focal WSSSRP II States. The next steps towards an integrated approach to IWRM planning and implementation were identified by all the states and the NIWRMC.

3.1.3 National monitoring and evaluation system established in FMWR (Result 1c) A three day National Monitoring and Evaluation workshop was held in Calabar from 24th – 26th September 2014 led by the FMWR. The meeting agreed that:  The existing National M&E Framework needs to be reviewed and/or reworked to reflect current realities. The framework is expected to cover the entire water resources sector rather than the current scope of WASH;  The harmonisation of Management Information Systems (MIS) in the sector M&E is required. The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Management Information System (WASHIMS), currently facilitated by UNICEF, is being considered as the base MIS.  WASHIMS should be reviewed to include urban and small town component indicators, which should be uploaded together with the baseline information.  While reviewing the existing M&E framework, the other areas of water resources should be included in the emerging National M&E Framework e.g. Irrigation and Dams etc. Small town and urban level indicators have been developed and validated. These will be uploaded into WASHIMS for the fourteen EU Focal states in the first instance. Further tools and instruments will be developed prior to full operationalization of the small town and urban level MIS. The results of the supplementary baseline survey in the six states was disseminated during a two-day workshop in Abuja (10th -11th December 2014. During the workshop the opportunity was taken to review the programme logical framework. It was agreed that a full review of the logical framework should be undertaken as soon as possible. Discussions on the establishment of a National Inter Agency Task Group on M&E resulted in the initial formation of an FMWR M&E Team which consists of representatives of all the

19 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 functional departments of the Ministry. It will be coordinated by the Deputy Director, M&E in the PRS department and will drive the process of M&E reporting in the Ministry.

The State IWRM Sub-Committees in Anambra, Cross River and Jigawa States have conducted advocacy meetings with representatives of the State Houses of Assembly to promote the passage of the bills. The passage of the Bill in Osun State has been disrupted by the 2014 Governors election.

3.2.2 Sector institutions structured in accordance with State Water Law (Result 2b) This activity can only be implemented when the state water laws have been passed but the States continue to prepare for change by conducting institutional assessment and capacity building exercises and creating new technical units.

In Anambra State, M&E units have been created in the PRS Department and IWRM, Small Towns and Water Quality units have been created in the Water Supply Department of the Ministry of Water Resources. A capacity development plan was developed after a training needs assessment in January 2015 and training in the use of Microsoft software conducted as part of the plan.

In Cross River State a restructuring plan for the Ministry of Water Resources has been agreed, although implementation has been hindered by the lack of office space.

In Jigawa State, a workshop on WASH policy implementation has resulted in the appointment of Officers to WCCF/WCA, M&E and IWRM units in the MWR. The STOWA, with TAT assistance, established seven zonal LGA and WCA coalitions during January and February 2015.

In Kano State, a Small Town Water Supply Unit (STU) has been established within the Department of Operation and Technical Services, KSWB to provide technical support to the small towns. 44 WASH/WCA offices have been established and LGA Officers appointed to manage activities in the respective LGAs.

3.2.3 Budget for sector institutions to fulfil their mandate is secured (Result 2c) Medium Term Sector Strategies (MTSSs) have been drawn up in Jigawa and Yobe States under SPARC, with the assistance of WSSSRP II. Only 30% of the water sector budget was utilised in Jigawa State. ₦ 21 billion was spent on water supply in Kano state in 2014, but the ₦ 1 billion allocated to the WSSSRP II programme was carried forward to the 2015 budget.

3.2.4 States adopt IWRM principles in water resources management (Result 2d) The new Cross River IWRM Committee was inaugurated in October 2014. The newly formed and re-invigorated IWRM Committees in all the states developed action plans which were presented at a workshop in Abuja in February 2015. The IWRM Committees in Cross River and Osun States formed a number of sub-committees to support their work. The IWRM Committee in Anambra State has been involved in the investigation of groundwater pollution in Nnaka community and with the WB erosion control programme. In

3.2.5 Strategy for private sector participation in water supply and sanitation services delivery is developed and implemented (Result 2e) With the exception of Anambra State, little activity has taken place in the States on Private Sector Participation which will only be possible at the urban level after the passing of the outstanding Water Bills. In Anambra State, two PSP studies have been conducted in a small town and an urban area and a draft PSP strategy and guideline is currently being produced. In Yobe state the privately run toilets in the Damaturu bus station were observed to be still in operation although requiring some maintenance. Two STTA PPP experts have been proposed for the two year extension of the services contract. More details of the programmes in the States can be found in Table 7 below.

The new Community Management and Sanitation Department was encouraged to organise the WCAs for effective supervision, monitoring and technical support. The TAT supported 7 zonal workshops between 31stJanuary and 12th February 2015 which enabled the WCAs and STOWA to meet and hold elections for the successful establishment of LGA and zonal WCA coalitions across the state. This is the first time that STOWA has been able to organise zonal meetings and the formation of coalitions for its WCAs.

4 Implementation of projects in urban areas and small towns 4.1 Objective 3: Support Urban and Small Town Water Institutions in the Six States to Deliver Sustainable Water Supply Service 4.1.1 The management and financial viability of urban water institutions is improved (Result 3a) The establishment of Water Consumers Consultative Forums (WCCF) continued in Jigawa and Osun States. A new WCCF unit is to be formed by the Jigawa State Water Board (JSWB) and the roles and responsibilities of the WCCF, JSWB and MWR have been agreed.

In Osun State, work is going on to to identify the water supply coverage area and the potential consumer groups to participate in the forum.

In Yobe State, the Water Corporation are now holding regular meetings to discuss day to day operations. Pipe laying and Operation training for corporation staff was held in Febraury 2015.

In Anambra State, the long running legal battle with the Water Corporation has been resolved, opening the way for the rehabilitation and development of urban water supply in the state.

In Kano State, a capacity development plan has been produced from the results of an assessment of water sector agencies. The assessment also identified that the skills and number of staff are insufficient to meet water supply development requirements.

4.1.2 Urban Water Works are rehabilitated and improved; (Result 3b) Procurement documents for all the Urban Priority and Main works have been produced. The construction programme is currently delayed as not all States have deposited their 30% counterpart funds into a dedicated bank account. Only Anambra State has deposited sufficient funds for both the Main and the Priority Works. Osun State has sufficient funds to cover Priority works. A detailed list of Priority and Main works can be found in Annex 4.

4.1.3 Existing but non-functional water supply schemes in small towns rehabilitated and new water supply schemes constructed (Result 3c) Procurement documents for all the Small Town Priority and Main works have been produced. The supplementary baseline survey exercise included customer enumeration in each of the small towns to confirm the number of people to be served by the new and rehabilitated schemes. Some redesign of the small town schemes has been required where the number of customers has proved to be lower than the original estimates. The construction programme is at the same stage as the urban programme with procurement only starting for Anambra and Osun States. A detailed list of Priority and Main works can be found in Annex 4.

4.1.4 Strategy for community-management of water supply facilities in small towns is developed and implemented (Result 3d) All six states are implementing the Community Management guidelines and strategy which has been shared with the Pia and PRAs. Kano State has made limited progress due to the absence of a State Community Mobiliser. The WCAs have received community management training in all states with the exception of Kano State. The training includes soft skills (listening, communication, and facilitation). A series of WCA mentoring visits were conducted in Anambra, Cross River and Osun States. Village Health Promoter (VHP) groups were formed in Anambra Osun and Yobe States. School Environmental Health Clubs (EHCs) were formed in the three northern states. Worls Handwashing and Toilet days were celebrated in Anambra and Yobe States. Ten additional WCAs were formed in Cross River State. The status of all WCAs under the programme presented in detail in Annex 1

4.1.5 A state level monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, linked to the national M&E system is established (Result 4d) M&E Units with desk officers where established in Anambra, Jigawa and Kano States. State Inter-Agency Task Groups (IATGs) were formed in Anmbra, Cross River, Osun and Yobe States developing work plans in Anambra, Cross River and Yobe States. M& E traing was conducted in Cross River, Jigawa and Osun states including the M&E framework, an overview of the M&E system, M&E logical frameworks and an introduction to GIS. Validation of the supplementary baseline data collected in Kano State was completed at meetings in the two focal LGAs in November 2014. All the states participated in the national workshops on M&E, indicators development and validation and baseline survey validation as reported in Table 6, Chapter 3, above.

Details of the Objective 3 results can be found in Table 8 below.

40 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 5 Supporting Activities 5.1 Information Processing and Monitoring In Anambra State the supplementary baseline survey has revealed specific areas where the programme needs to concentrate its efforts. Of particular concern is the poor sanitation coverage with open defecation rates of 43%. The implementation of Community Led Total Sanitation at rural, small towns and urban communities has therefore been prioritised. The customer enumeration exercise also revealed a willingness to pay for safe water and the readiness of customers to engage with private sector service providers in the small towns.

The majority of M&E activities are covered under Results1c and 4d above.

5.2 Coordination The programme participated fully in the 2nd National Programme Steering Committee Meeting, hosted by the NDSP in November 2014. The key issues brought up at the meeting were as follows:  No commitment of Federal/state executive and legislature on the review and approval of National and State Water bills  Inadequate budgetary provisions for WASH units in LGAs because they are yet to be transformed into departments  Implementation of 70%:30% cost sharing as per Financing Agreement.  Difficulty in states securing the 30% counterpart funds even though they have been provided for in the 2014 budgets. o Construction of water supply facilities cannot take place o States need to provide 30% counterpart contribution before 14th December 2014 for WSSSRP II or tenders will not be launched and money will be unspent.  Issue of NPC as sole contracting authority  Delay in approval of National M&E framework for Water sector  Implementation is very slow in new focal states (WSSSRP III and NDSP) due to : o Delay in release of PE funds o Issues with signing of MoU. o EC promised to provide vehicles but vehicles but yet to be done.  Low demonstration of commitment from states.  Inadequate communication and coordination between rural and urban/small towns components of the programmes. A WSSSRP II Mid-Term Review Workshop was held in November 2014 to discuss the final report of the evaluation mission distributed in October 2014. The main recommendations can be found in Annex 3. The recommendations will be incorporated into the next State and Federal work plans. Federal and State Level members of the TAT attended UNICEF meetings on the scheme of service for the LGA Wash Departments, held in Abuja and at Akawanga the beginning of March 2015.

In Cross River State, the TAT supports the conduct of monthly collaborative meeting of the rural and small town/urban components. Here, each component reports on its activities and common challenges are discussed with solutions proffered. The meeting includes the LGA WASH Coordinators and UNICEF WASH Consultants, RUWATSSA Directors and 41 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 TAT key experts. The increased understanding and cooperation between the two components has led to joint activities.

In Jigawa State, a workshop on strengthening of linkages between LGA WASH Departments and the STOWA has helped to coordinate WASH activities in the two focal LGAs. However, as recommended by the participants, there is a need for all 27 LGAs to be involved.

In Kano State, the programme has requested SLOGOR to consider the WSSSRP II focal LGAs when selecting areas of operation. SLOGOR has received approval to implement their work plan which includes capacity building on accounting systems. The TAT has been coordinating activities with RUWASA, UNICEF, the Ministries of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs (MoLG&CA), Health (MoH), Environment (MoEnv), Education (MoEdu), Agric (MoAG&NR), the HJRBDA, the Secondary School Management Board, CSOs and the two focal LGAs in the areas of institutional restructuring, hygiene promotion, formation of Environmental Health Clubs, establishment of the small town units, the Desk Officers, technical cooperation’s and workshops in capacity building and sharing experiences.

In Osun State the SLOGOR project office opened on 21st January, 2015 and the TAT are in contact with them to seek any mutual activities.

In Yobe State, The second State Steering Committee (SPSC) meeting was held on November 12, 2014

Annex 3 Main Recommendations of the Mid-Term Review

75 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

76 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

Recommendations Specifically Addressed to the NAO (Contracting Authority)/EU • Establish TA support to LGA on urban & small town component or expand UNICEF support to include these areas in order to respond to identified weaknesses. • Allow for more long term staff vs. short-term consultants for community managemet for greater consistency and ownership. • Better communicate to all stakeholders on budget ceilings and budgetary deadlines. Provide clear written guidelines on EU procedures that apply to this programme. • Review the logframe of the programme, especially concerning the M&E result in order to avoid overlap between UNICEF and TAT, but not only. • Consider a 4-year contract with the TAT (with performance conditionalities in the contract) instead of 2+2 years to facilitate engagement, consistency in approach, consolidation of achievements, avoid interruption in programme activities, strengthen professional links, etc. • For a future phase, consider increasing the time-span and reducing the scope of the programme (focus less on IWRM; either reduce ambitions or dramatically intensify efforts in urban settings). Also consider abandoning the interim-TA approach.

Recommendations Specifically Addressed to the Government • Allow for States to be part of the bid evaluation commission. • Hire an engineering company for work supervision, yet involving local stakeholders, and provide clear communication to all programme stakeholders on this issue. • Associate to the programme all relevant departments in the Federal Ministry of water resources. • Ensure that disbursement of approved State/LGA budgetary allocations for the Programme activities are made timely. • Give more importance to needs criteria (i.e. expressed and observed immediate needs) within the (self-) selection process of beneficiary LGAs. • Encourage more regular meetings of the Project Steering Committees (Federal & State levels). • The State Governments should assign to a task group with in the various levels of State, Local and community the specific function of expediting and ensuring timely preparation and disbursement of funds meant for participation of that level in the project over the project's lifetime.

Recommendations Specifically Addressed to TAT • Improve internal planning, monitoring and reporting; more detailed annual plan with calendar of activities; internal monthly planning + reporting of staff required. Streamline reporting design with the Programme logframe and align with Government and UNICEF. • In collaboration with UNICEF, support Government to improve planning and reporting systems. • Establish an advocacy strategy with clear steps to push forwards the approval of the water policy and bill. Advocate for higher consideration to be given to sanitation. • Don’t wait for the water law to be passed to engage in institutional strengthening activities.

77 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 • As part of capacity building activities, strengthen trainings on planning, reporting and M&E and include trainings on performance-based, results-oriented HR management. • Increase efforts on M&E to facilitate the adoption and dissemination of a simple and unique M&E framework which will integrate and ensure consistency of various ongoing initiatives. • Increase efforts to support the urban/small town component in terms of capacity building and strengthening of institutions in charge at State and LGA level. • Improve communication with all stakeholders to clarify the programme’s objective (strong focus on sector reform and capacity building in addition to infrastructure improvements). • Improve tools and methods to efficiently and sustainably deliver technical assistance and capacity building; consider less short-term consultants and more long-term staff. • There is a need to support the Government to produce clear guidelines on the distinction between rural, small town and urban. • Consolidated State Plans (i.e. urban +Small towns + rural + State governments' own normal development activities outside the WSSSRP II) in one document.

Recommendations specifically addressed to UNICEF • Improve internal planning, monitoring and reporting: more detailed annual plan with calendar of activities at all levels of the organisation (HQ, State, LGAs & Communities). Streamline reporting design with the Programme logframe and align with Government and TAT. • In collaboration with TAT, support Government to improve planning and reporting systems. • Rethink and adapt CLTS approach for urban environments. • Improve communication with communities on programme’s time-span and results to clarify misunderstandings and avoid raising wrong expectations; Prepare active and regular use of approved, written and signed action plans with the communities. • In collaboration with the TAT, establish one single and simple M&E system. WASHIMs, Facility tracking, CLTS database should be simplified and all feed into one single database. • In collaboration with the TAT, strengthen trainings on planning, reporting and M&E and include trainings on performance-based, results-oriented HR management. • Improve communication with all stakeholders to clarify the programme’s objective (stress on importance of “software” as opposed to “hardware” aspects). • Improve tools and methods to efficiently and sustainably deliver technical assistance and capacity building; consider, in consultation with the EUD, less short- term consultants and more long-term staff. • Hire and train engineering companies for the construction and supervision of works. • Improve UNICEF accountability at Federal level and share progress reports with the Ministry and NAO.

Report 6

ABUJA: 8th September to 3rd October 2014

Remobilised on the project after arrival from UK on BA083 at 05:40 and met the project team in Abuja. Worked initially with Norline Martin and Martin Eduvie, the International and National Hydrogeological Experts, to discuss the subject of the 350 metre deep boreholes proposed by Anambra State as part of their Main Works. Concerns included the drilling capability in Nigeria, reliable yield, water quality and high pressure pipes and fittings. Both Hydrogeologists were scheduled to visit Anambra State from 10th to 13th September so will assess this and other related source aspects then.

Met Martin Mbonu of EU with Nick Foster on Wednesday 10th September 2014 and the following project aspects were discussed:

 Head of Finance and Contracts at the EU mission in Abuja refused the request from the states for the EU to fund 100% of the Priority Works tender, valued at about EUR 1.8 million. Instead the funding for the Priority Works should revert to the 70:25:5 ratio of funding by EU:State:Community as stipulated in the Financing Agreement (FA);  The procurement of the Priority Works tender has not progressed. The EU is considering combining the Priority Works with the Main Works Tender Dossier for the total FA amount of EUR 30 million. I expressed concern that this would set us back yet again as we would need to combine the two tender dossiers into one. Many Nigerian companies would not be able to tender for such a large contract and there is a significant risk of missing the 27th June 2015 deadline, by which time all contracts for the EUR 30 million Works budget must be signed or the money will be lost;  The EU procurement officer is away and will be back next week. We requested an urgent meeting with her in order to resolve these ongoing Works procurement issues. Martin agreed to have a meeting with the EU procurement officer on Friday 19th September 2014 to discuss and agree way forward for the Works contracts;  Martin indicated that the EU were considering asking for an Extension of Time (EoT) on the FA stipulated date of 27th June 2015 for all Works contracts to be signed. This EoT will have to be approved by the EU in Brussels and the Nigerian Government and EU delegation in Abuja will have to make a strong case, such as the security situation and Ebola outbreak, to support the EoT. From my experience with such FA dates in Bulgaria, the EU in Brussels are reluctant to grant such EoTs as they have various competing requirements for their funds and they will take their portion of the EUR 30 million, which amounts to EUR 21 million from the EU, elsewhere to fund other programmes. Martin confirmed that we must continue working to the original FA stipulated date of 27th June 2015 for all Works contracts to be signed on the basis that the EoT will not be granted by EU Brussels;  Martin raised the query regarding the request from Kano State for the establishment of fish ponds or other surface water storage facilities as part of their Main Works. I am not aware of this and Kano State have not included any such proposals in their Main Works tender dossier. Martin and Nick to check and find out about these ponds;  Martin queried the use of Design and Build for the Main Works. Our response was that the majority of Main Works have been detail designed with adequate drawings and Bills of Quantities to be provided in the Main Works Tender Dossier. Some schemes such as Obisi rehabilitation and Otuocha water supply scheme have been designed in outline but the proposed design details will have to be confirmed by the Contractor following Topographical, Geotechnical and further raw water quality analysis. These initial field surveys and laboratory analyses are to be carried out by the Contractor at the start of the Main Works as the States do not have the capability to carry out these essential field investigations;  Discussion of supplies contract which may need to be split into separate tender dossiers for Office Equipment, including computers, separated from technical equipment such as borehole cameras and borehole logging equipment. Our procurement expert and both Hydrogeologists will review the supplies contract and specifications next week;

89 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

 The Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Political Economy Analysis (PEA) were discussed. The original ToR included a study and report on PEA but this was rejected by the EU and reduced to a series of meetings only. The EU now want a study and report and this needs to be resolved;  Nick requested approval for the extension of time inputs for the GIS experts, which has been pending for a while now. Martin will check status and expedite approval;  CVs have been submitted for approval for the proposed meeting for the review of Water Policy and Water Law at State level;  Nick has been invited as Keynote speaker and Martin Eduvie as speaker at the forthcoming Association of Water Well Drilling Rig Owners and Practitioners (AWDROP) conference in Ekiti on 22nd October 2014. AWDROP are to present an award to WSSSRP at this conference. Nick to send conference details to Martin as the EU Ambassador has been invited. Martin expressed concern and EU will not be fund the conference or attendees, unless approved;  European Court of Auditors arriving in Abuja during November 2014 and will include Audit of Atkins invoices 1A and 2A for WSSSRP II. The next WSSSRP II 6 monthly report should be completed and submitted by October 2014, in time for the Auditors scheduled arrival in Abuja ;

Most of this mission was spent on checking, reviewing and completing Volumes 3, 4 and 5 of the Main Works Tender Dossier, in 6 Lots for the focal states.

Volume 3: Technical Specifications, including Scope of Works for each State in separate Lots; Volume 4: Model Financial Offer, including Bills of Quantities for each State in separate Lots; Volume 5: Design Documents and Drawings, for each State in separate Lots.

Volumes 1, Instructions to Tenderer and Tender Forms, as well as Volume 2, Draft Contract and Conditions, for the Main Works tender dossier will be completed once comments have been received from the EU and NPC regarding the Priority Works tender dossier as many details will be similar for both tenders.

Attended a meeting on 22nd September 2014 at the EU delegation in Abuja to discuss and finalise the Supplies contract and Priority as well as Main Works tenders. The meeting was attended by:

Mr. Martin Mbonu, EU Delegation, Abuja Mrs. Adedamola Oladeji, EU Delegation, Abuja Mr. John Akuse. NPC Mr. Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Dr. Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT Dr. Duraisaminathan Visvanathan, International Procurement Specialist, TAT Mr. Alfred Obeten, WSE Calabar & Temporary National Procurement Specialist, TAT

The following were discussed and agreed at this meeting.

Supply Contract. The supply requirement requests from the States have been compiled and the same was discussed in the meeting. It is agreed to prepare two supply contract tender dossiers – one for office equipment and another one for water resources monitoring instruments. EUD queried the inclusion of some supply items such as vehicles and stated that such items are not allowed in accordance with EU procedures. The TAT procurement team is to review such items and exclude them from the tender dossiers. The tender dossier for office equipment should be prepared and sent to EUD for their approval. The tender dossier for water resources monitoring equipment could be submitted later once the specifications are ready from the technical team. The supplies tender dossiers do not need to return to NPC for approval as the EUD have received this already;

Procedure for sharing of contract costs for Priority and Main Works. As per the Financing Agreement, 70% should be paid by the EU and rest 30% (25% from each of the 6 focal States and 90 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

5% from the community) by the State and the community. It was agreed that the tender dossiers should have a payment schedule to make the Contractor raise two separate two monthly invoices (one for the 70% and another one for 30%). It was also agreed that the NPC should check, in writing, with the 6 focal States that the amount collected and set aside specifically for this purpose is sufficient;

Priority Works Contract. The TAT mentioned that they have already prepared and submitted the tender document for Priority Works, worth about €1.8 million. It was agreed that the contract notice should be issued by the EU/NPC as soon as Volumes 1 and 2 of the tender dossier have been checked by the EU Delegation.

Main Works Contract. The TAT WS Engineer mentioned that it will take at least four weeks to finalise Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Main Works tender dossier and it was agreed that the tender dossier should be submitted to the NPC and EUD by the end of October 2014. However, in order to meet the 27th June 2015 deadline for all Contract signatures, it was also agreed that the Prior Information Notice for the Main Works should be sent to EUD through NPC as soon as possible in order to publish it on the EU website and other approved print media this week, while the Main Works tender dossiers are being finalised.

Attachments. As part of the agreed actions at the meeting, the following attachments were submitted by the TAT to the EUD and NPC on Wednesday 24th September 2014. a. Softcopy of the compiled supply requirement from the 6 focal States, discussed in the meeting; b. Softcopy of the Draft contract schedules for Priority and Main Works, to meet the 27th June 2015 Contract Deadline; c. Softcopy of the Draft Prior Information Notice for the Main Works; d. Softcopy of the Draft Contract Notice for the Priority Works.

Following submission of the Draft Prior Information Notice for the Main Works to the EUD in Abuja, Martin Mbonu of the EUD called the TAT team to discuss the inclusion of Sanitation works in the Main Works tender dossier. In an Email clarification dated 24th September 2014, Martin clarified the EUD position as:

It was a deliberate action to remove the sanitation facilities out of the water works under the 10th EDF for urban/small towns works contracts.

The Contribution Agreement with UNICEF has allowed the Organisation to put up toilets in public places (especially in schools) but not under TA-implemented works contracts.

The whole idea is that the programme should promote CLTS and encourage communities to provide such public toilet facilities where they are really needed. In this case, the toilets will be used and maintained, we believe.

You may check page 10 of the TAPS of the FA for what is allowed under WSSSRP II as it concerns the works contracts.

At another meeting with the EUD in Abuja on Thursday 2nd October 2014, the TAT team is sought further clarification on this issue as the current set of Tender Dossier for the Main Works includes Sanitation facilities in each of the 6 Lots covering the focal states. This meeting was attended by:

Mr. Martin Chukwudum Mbonu, EU Delegation, Abuja Mr. Klaus Gautsch, EU Delegation, Abuja Mr. Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Dr. Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT Mr. Alfred Obeten, WSE Calabar & Temporary National Procurement Specialist, TAT

The following were discussed and agreed at this meeting.

91 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

Supply Contract. The tender dossier for office equipment is with EUD for their approval. Discussion centred around the inclusion of computers, billing and GIS software plus the total value of the first supply contract which exceeds EUR 300,000. EUD will complete their review and send comments next week. The rest of the supplies contract items will be finalised by the TAT this week;

Procedure for sharing of contract costs for Priority and Main Works. As per the Financing Agreement, 70% should be paid by the EU and the balance of 30% (25% from each of the 6 focal States and 5% from the local community) by the State and the community. EUD now want to finance their 70% component, which amounts to EUR 21 million for both Priority as well as Main Works, separately under a separate contract based on EU tender dossier procurement. Moreover the EU will not fund any Sanitation Works in their 70% contribution and the States should do this separately together with any other water supply related works that fall out of the 70% funding contribution from the EU. The TAT Team Coordinator requested a formal letter from the EUD confirming this revised arrangement so that the States can be informed and the Main Works tender dossier for the EU 70% funding revised accordingly to limit water supply works and remove all sanitation works. The EUD agreed to send a formal letter confirming this new arrangement once they have consulted with their internal Finance and Contracts department next week;

Priority Works Contract. The EUD are still reviewing the submitted Priority Works tender dossier and will send their comments next week, once they have consulted with their internal Finance and Contracts department. The contract notice is also being reviewed and the TAT reiterated that this should be issued by the EU/NPC as soon as Volumes 1 and 2 of the tender dossier have been checked by the EU Delegation.

Main Works Contract. The TAT WS Engineer mentioned that it will take at least until the end of October 2014 now to finalise Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Main Works tender dossier, limiting the Works now to the 70% EU component only and removing all Sanitation works. However a formal letter from the EUD confirming this change is required before this can be completed and communicated to each of the 6 focal states so that they can pick up and tender the remaining water supply works and all the sanitation works. In order to meet the 27th June 2015 deadline for all Contract signatures, it was also reiterated that the Prior Information Notice for the Main Works should be published by the EU on their EU projects website and other approved print media as soon as possible, while the Main Works tender dossier is being finalised.

The issue of 70% EU funding component for water supply works only and the removal of all sanitation works needs formal confirmation by letter from the EU as soon as possible so that all the proposed Sanitation facilities can be removed from the Main Works tender dossier and only limited water supply schemes included, before submission of the Draft Main Works tender dossier to the EUD and NPC in Abuja by the end of October 2014. The EUD have stated that this letter will be forthcoming next week, after 8th October 2014.

Next Visit Following discussions with the Consultant Team Coordinator and scheduled requirements, I have proposed to return to Abuja on Monday 20th October 2014, leaving London the night before, for about 3 weeks, in order to complete my 100 day mission on 5th November 2014, returning to UK the next day. During this final mission, I plan to submit the revised Draft Main Works Tender Dossier and also complete the Asset Management and Design Guidelines.

92 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Report 7

ABUJA: 20th October to 5th November 2014 Remobilised on the project after arrival from UK on BA083 at 05:00 and met the project team in Abuja. Continued finalising the priced Bills of Quantities for the Main Works tender dossier.

Attended a meeting on 24th October 2014 at the EU delegation in Abuja to discuss and finalise the Supplies contract and Priority as well as Main Works tenders. The meeting was attended by: Mr. Klaus Gautsch, EU Delegation, Abuja Mr. Martin Mbonu, EU Delegation, Abuja Mr. Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Dr. Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT Dr. Duraisaminathan Visvanathan, International Procurement Specialist, TAT

The Prior Information Notice for the Main Works has been posted on the EU website and in Nigerian newspapers. The Notice states that there will be six lots tendered for the Main Works; As per the Financing Agreement, 70% of the cost of the Priority and Main Works is to be paid by the EU and the rest 30% (25% from each of the 6 focal States and 5% from the communities) by the State and the community. At this meeting, the EUD stated that the six lots in both the Priority and Main Works tender dossiers should now be split into 12 lots, namely 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b, in which the ‘a’ Lots will cover EU’s 70% contribution and the ‘b’ Lots will cover the States’ 30% contribution. The contracting mechanism for this split Lot tender dossier would be: (a) There will be separate contracts for Lots ‘a’ and ‘b’, which will be signed by NPC and each State respectively (b) There will be separate evaluation committees for Lots ‘a’ and ‘b’, where NPC and each State takes chairmanship respectively (c) The sanitation works component could be included under the Lots ‘b’ for each State to fund separately. The TAT objected to this further split of lots into sub-lots at this late stage. This will take time to organise, as Volumes 3 (Specifications), 4 (Bills of Quantities) and 5 (Drawings) will all have to be reworked. Some Clauses in Volumes 1 and 2 will also have to be re- written. Moreover the TAT expressed concern that whilst this further split of lots may be to the letter of the Financing Agreement, it certainly was not in the spirit of an Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building project where the EU and NPC are required to work in partnership with each of the six focal States. The splitting of the lots would cause significant delays in completing the reworked tender dossiers and there will be no prospect of meeting the 27th June 2015 contractual deadline for signing all contracts. The TAT pointed out there will also potentially be a large number of contracts to be awarded by seven different contracting authorities to a number of contractors and this arrangement would be difficult to administer and supervise. There is also the risk that many contractors would not bid for the ‘b’ lots as they may not wish to contract with separate State authorities. The request by the TAT to link the ‘a’ and ‘b’ lots so that each contractor who wished to tender for the ‘a’ lot must also tender for the corresponding ‘b’ Lot, was rejected by the EUD. As this was a major change to the Priority and Main Works tender dossiers, the TAT requested a letter from the EUD/NPC instructing this split Lot change.

93 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 The issue of progress on the Water Law was discussed briefly and EU requested delivery of results. The TAT stated that whilst we can facilitate these discussions, we cannot force outcomes; The EUD requested a one day workshop to be convened in Abuja on 19th November 2014 to discuss the findings of the mid-term review document and implement their recommendations. Programme Directors and IPEs from each state, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources officials and UNICEF were to be invited to this workshop which will be organised by the TAT. The TAT informed the EUD that another candidate has been proposed for the Political Economist. A report is required for this work in order to circulate it to counterpart partners; EUD requested hard copies of the first Supply tender dossier covering computers and office supplies. The TAT was also asked to progress work on the second Supplies contract covering other procurement items required for borehole and water supply investigations; Discussion on the State OPEs which expire on 31st October 2014. Each State is required to prepare a letter and apply for a No Cost Extension of time for a further six months next week.

The rest of this final project visit was spent on checking, reviewing and completing Volumes 3, 4 and 5 of the Main Works Tender Dossier, in 6 Lots for the focal states. Vol 3: Technical Specifications, including Scope of Works for each State in separate Lots; Vol 4: Model Financial Offer, including Bills of Quantities for each State in separate Lots; Vol 5: Design Documents and Drawings, for each State in separate Lots. Volumes 1, Instructions to Tenderer and Tender Forms, as well as Volume 2, Draft Contract and Conditions, for the Main Works tender dossier will be completed once comments have been received from the EU and NPC regarding the Priority Works tender dossier as many details will be similar for both tenders. In addition the further split of the six lots for the Main Works into ‘a’ and ‘b’ sub-lots was not started, pending written instruction from the EUD/NPC, or otherwise, of this major change.

Further Actions As my allocated 100 days have been completed on this visit, I will not be returning to Abuja on this assignment. I plan to complete and submit the Asset Management and Design Guidelines as well as my Final Report as soon as possible.

94 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Report 8 ABUJA: 26th January to 6th February 2015 Remobilised on the project after arrival from UK on BA083 at 05:30 and met the project team in Abuja. Started collecting information and preparing the Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines for the project. The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines will serve as a design guide pertinent to the viable design of water supply infrastructure and is applicable to all small towns and urban centres implemented during the previous WSSSRP and forthcoming implementation of WSSSRP II facilities. The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines will also be applicable to water supply infrastructure installed as part of other programmes and provided the basic principles and procedures are followed and implemented, reviewed regularly and updated to include future designs, it will provide a useful tool to improve the project preparation, design, financial viability, operation and maintenance of urban and small town schemes across Nigeria.

The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines will cover the following core sections:  Introduction  Water Resources  Consumer Demands  Water Treatment  Borehole Schemes  Pipelines  Pumping Stations  Distribution Systems  Water Storage  Cost and Economics  Procurement and Implementation  Conclusions  Recommendations

The Design Guideline document is for guidance only and the Project Engineer and designers must satisfy themselves as to the appropriateness of the information presented in it. Designs must comply with Clients specifications and their particular requirements where available. This guideline considers the following key factors which are relevant to the small towns and urban centres covered under WSSSRP I and forthcoming implementation of WSSSRP II facilities:  Available Water sources for the community;  Existing Water Supply situation within the community;  Water Demand and Demand Gap;  Appropriate Technology and Technical Options;  Water Treatment Requirements and Process Design;  Storage Reservoirs;  Distribution Network Design;  Distribution System Metering.

This Design Guideline is intended to provide designers and constructors with key guiding principles which will cover the great majority of situations encountered on new as well as existing facilities and to encourage the use of best engineering practice for these installations. 95 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Meeting on 4th February 2015 at ENPLAN in Abuja to discuss and finalise the Construction contracts in the Priority and Main Works tenders. The meeting was attended by: Mr Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Mr Nasser Yakubu, IPE, Jigawa State Mr Muslim Idris, IPE, Kano State Mr Muhammad Chiroma, IPE, Yobe State Mr Depo Adenle, IPE, Osun State Mr Alao Adebayo, IPE, Cross River State Mr Kabiru Abbas, IPE, Anambra State Mr Francis Ogunpitan, M&E Expert Mr Shedrack Asuareneme, Security Coordinator, TAT Dr Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT

The Agenda for this meeting covered: 1 End of Services Contract - Timetable - New ToR - New STTA? - Logframe - Personnel changes 2 Construction Contracts - State contributions - Population figures - Timetable 3 Elections - Security 4 Six Monthly Report, New Format 5 Any Other Business

Brief notes on meeting as follows. Item 1: - The TAT service contract ends on 17th March 2015 and we need to close our Accounts by then, therefore there will be no funding of workshops beyond 13th February 2015. All States are therefore required to get their accounts closed by 13th February 2015 and return February reports by the end of the month. All IPEs will need to inform the States that the initial contract ends on 17th March 2015, if no extension is granted before that date, there will be delays in resumption of the TAT office. The EU has written to NPC to clarify all issues surrounding contract extension, hence, we should expect minimal delay but this cannot be guaranteed. TAT staff can still travel within or outside their State and to Abuja, but these visits will need to be justified and approved before travel; - New ToR to clarify issues around sanitation in small towns, hygiene promotion, CLTS in small towns, WASH in schools and interventions in small towns. UNICEF WASH Consultant at LGA level should have their ToR to cover responsibility for monitoring and supervision of progress of WCAs in their respective LGAs; - Institutional Reform Expert, Water Policy and Law, Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), PPP options are among the positions recently approved, but some of the experts are no longer available; - With the baseline report is now ready, the Logframe needs to be reviewed. This cannot however be done now before 13th February and should be the first item to be reviewed and agreed upon resumption of the new or extended contract. The team 96 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 should meet at the appropriate time when we resume the second half of the contract to review the Logframe; - The IPE in Osun State is retiring on 16th March 2015 and the IPE for Cross River State has been designated to replace him. The search for a replacement IPE in Cross River State is ongoing. Item 2: - Extension of the deadline for signing all the Works contracts, from 27th June 2015 to 27th June 2016 has been secured by the EUD/NPC. This gives the States a further opportunity to pursue the collection and banking of counterpart funds. Perhaps this may also be the reason for NPC delays in launching the Priority and Main Works Tenders. The main reason for this delay is the difficulty in raising and committing to the 30% funding contribution for the cost of works by each State, who are required to contribute 25%, and their communities, who are required to contribute the remaining 5%. With the exception of Anambra State, who have collected and banked their 30% contribution in full, no other state has collected nor committed to both the Priority and Main Works. Osun State has collected and banked their 30% contribution for their Priority Works only. The other four states cited a number of reasons, ranging from political commitment to the ability of communities to pay, for the current lack of counterpart funds; - Anambra State, who have their 30% counterpart funds ready, are not happy about the delay. The Team Coordinator is to request the NPC to write to each State to inform them of the latest development; - Osun has counterpart funds for Priority Works ready, but is also about to secure their funds for the Main Works; - Jigawa does not have much hope as the State is still not happy with the process that denied them awarding the contracts. They are however mounting pressure on stakeholders to persuade the government to yield to EU rules; - Kano shows progress in that the amount has been included in the budget, but the Ministry of Local Government is asking beneficiary communities to pay their 5% while the government will pay their 25%; - Cross River has a ray of hope as the Government is about to secure a N10 billion bond to use to service all outstanding counterpart contributions including those of other donor programmes; - Yobe, the State is willing to pay, but funds are not available. However efforts are ongoing to prioritise the payment. A strategy of how to utilise the existing N90 million is being developed; - Anambra has all its counterpart funds paid up and even has excess funds available to undertake additional works on their programme; - Following the recent completion of the compilation of the current customer enumeration figures from the baseline survey in each State, it is apparent that some of the small town Main Works have been over designed. In some cases, the current base population figures used for projecting to the future 2025 design population is at least four times the number enumerated by the baseline surveys. This level of scheme overdesign is unacceptable as it not only burdens the small town communities with a capital and ongoing operating expense that they can ill afford, but it also renders such schemes technically unfeasible; - A decision was made that all the State WSEs should review and resize their schemes so that they serve the populations based on the recently completed baseline survey figures, which are more accurate and representative of the present 97 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 situation. These smaller schemes should be grouped together in a more regional based design, if two or more small towns are close by and can be linked together. Consideration should also be given to add more small town schemes to the Main Works tender, in order to fully utilise the total available funds of almost EUR 28 million; - Another concern with the selected Main Works schemes for the small towns is the fact that many of these fall below the 5,000 population threshold set. These smaller communities are defined as Rural schemes, which therefore fall into the category of schemes to be completed by UNICEF. However as the small town schemes have already been through their self selection process, and assigned to this Main Works tender, these and other similar small town schemes, which will not now be served by the UNICEF schemes, should be included in the Main Works tender dossier but the schemes designed appropriately in order to serve the smaller population sizes. Item 3: - Security was considered very important as no one could predict what will happen after the Presidential election on 14th February. Travelling during the few days run up to the election could be difficult. Post election violence in all parts of the country is possible. All Individuals need to be conscious of their safety and whereabouts during this period. All TAT offices will be closed between Monday 16th and Friday 20th February 2015. All IPEs are required to circulate a list of where all their staff will be during this period. Item 4: - Since it is not the end of the project, we will still submit our usual six monthly report. An improved version of the template will be distributed to all IPEs for completion and expanding on their reporting. Item 5: - All States to send in their February submissions by end of the month, more specifically by 27th February; - Shedrack will visit all the States to reconcile accounts, hence States are to get their accounts, including statements of Accounts since the inception of the project, ready for the reconciliation of all accounts; - Nick travels out of Abuja on 11th February, to return on 22nd February, assuming that the Presidential elections have concluded peacefully and it is safe to return to Abuja. He will travel finally on 16th March 2015, to resume when the next contract starts and the others will likely take a break until the next contract is announced.

Next Visit This has yet to be finalised and will depend largely on the security situation following the Nigeria Presidential and State Elections on 14th and 28th February respectively. If these elections are concluded without incident and there are no security concerns, I plan to return to Abuja on 2nd March 2015, leaving London the night before, for 2 weeks in order to collate and evaluate the Main Works scheme populations and edit the Main Works Tender Dossiers to match the revised scheme designs. I also intend to complete the Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines and my Final Report, if it falls due, during this visit.

98 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Report 9 ABUJA: 23rd February to 13th March 2015 Remobilised on the project after arrival from UK on BA083 at 06:00 and met the project team in Abuja. Continued with the preparation of the Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines for the project. The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines will serve as a design guide pertinent to the viable design of water supply infrastructure and is applicable to all small towns and urban centres implemented during the previous WSSSRP and forthcoming implementation of WSSSRP II facilities. The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines will also be applicable to water supply infrastructure installed as part of other programmes and provided the basic principles and procedures are followed and implemented, reviewed regularly and updated to include future designs, it will provide a useful guide to improve the project preparation, design, financial viability, construction and operation and maintenance of urban and small town schemes across Nigeria. The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines covers the following core sections:  Introduction  Water Resources  Consumer Demands  Water Treatment  Borehole Schemes  Pipelines  Pumping Stations  Distribution Systems  Water Storage  Cost and Economics  Procurement and Implementation  Conclusions  Recommendations  References

The Water Supply Infrastructure Design Guidelines document is for guidance only and the Project Engineer and designers must satisfy themselves as to the appropriateness of the information presented in it. Designs must comply with Clients specifications and their particular requirements where available. These guidelines considers key factors which are relevant to the small towns and urban centres covered under WSSSRP I and forthcoming implementation of WSSSRP II facilities and should be used by the focal State Engineers as a basis for good design practice to International Standards. Where relevant, key data, information and criteria applicable to Nigeria have been included in these guidelines. These will change in time and updated information, relevant to particular projects, must be used for all new projects. This guideline document is intended to provide designers and constructors with key guiding principles which will cover the great majority of situations encountered on new as well as existing facilities and to encourage the use of best engineering practice for these installations.

Attended a meeting on 25th February 2015 at EUD in Abuja to discuss Priority and Main Works tender dossiers for the construction contracts. The meeting was attended by: Mr Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Mrs Kate Kanebi, EU Delegation, Abuja Dr Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT 99 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Brief notes on this meeting as follows. - The TAT service contract ends on Tuesday 17th March 2015 and the NPC have sent a letter to the EU formally approving the extension of services contract for a further two years. The TAT have not received a copy of this letter, the EU believe that a formal copy will be sent to the TAT Team Coordinator in Abuja later today, 25th February 2015; - The EU require the TAT to formally submit the new ToR and other key contract documents for the extension of services by 09:00 on Monday 2nd March 2015. The TAT Team Coordinator stated that it was not possible to submit all the required documents, which includes original signed statements of Exclusivity and Availability for all the Key Experts, in three working days particularly since the TAT have not been formally notified in writing of this requirement; - Regarding the Priority and Main Works tender dossiers, the EU are in discussions with the focal States and the NPC to split the Works in each State into two lots, one Lot comprising Works funded by the 70% EU component to be disbursed directly by the EU and administered by the NPC. The second lot for each State will comprise Works funded by the 30% State (25%) and Communities (5%) component to be disbursed directly by each State and also administered by the NPC, but with State participation. The exact nature, extent and agreement to this split lot tender dossiers have yet to be finalised through discussions between the EU, NPC and each focal State. The TAT expressed concern that while this split lot approach may not be against the letter of the Financing Agreement, it certainly goes against the spirit of collaboration for capacity building and institutional strengthening. The EU confirmed that they are also in the process of discussing and issuing riders, which will amend, clarify or replace some clauses in the Financing Agreement (FA), in order to implement the split lot tender dossiers and also extend the end date of the FA by another year. The TAT also expressed concern that it may not be possible to include the split lot approach within a single tender dossier due to limitations within the Instructions to Tenderers, Tender Forms, Contract and Conditions contained within Volumes I and II of the Tender Dossier package. The EU and TAT procurement specialists will be requested to investigate this concern and confirm if the split lot tender dossier can be prepared and implemented; - Due to counterpart funding issues in four of the focal States, the EU would like a split lot tender dossier prepared for Priority Works in Anambra and Osun States as a matter of urgency. The TAT requested a formal instruction in writing before preparing this, as it will be the third time that the tender dossiers will have been prepared and submitted to the EU and NPC. The EU will issue this instruction in writing today, 25th February 2015 for this rework of the tender dossiers. Further Priority Works Tender Dossiers will then need to be prepared at a later date once the other four focal States have collected and banked their 30% counterpart finds, which are a prerequisite before the EU and NPC can launch any tenders.

Attended another procurement meeting on Friday 6th March 2015 at EU in Abuja to discuss further the Construction contracts for the Priority and Main Works tender dossiers, particularly aimed at finalising the procurement process to be used for Anambra and Osun States. The meeting was attended by: Mr Klaus Gautsch, EU Delegation, Abuja Mrs Kate Kanebi, EU Delegation, Abuja Mrs Angeline Ayingeyene, Finance and Contracts, EU Delegation, Abuja Mrs Adedamola Oladeji, Finance and Contracts, EU Delegation, Abuja Mr John Akuse, NPC, Abuja

100 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Mr Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Dr Duraisaminathan Visvanathan, International Procurement Specialist, TAT Dr Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT

Brief notes on this meeting as follows. - Due to counterpart funding issues in four of the focal States, the EU confirmed that a split lot tender dossier should be prepared for Priority Works in Anambra and Osun States as a matter of urgency. The possibility of including the Main Works for Anambra as well, who have their counterpart funds available for this, was discussed but dismissed on the grounds that this would push up the total value of the tender dossier to more than EURO 5 million, thereby necessitating International tender procurement for this tender dossier in six split lots. - The TAT and NPC further suggested that the Priority Works for Osun and Anambra State should be procured using Competitive Negotiated Procedure as each State had less than EURO 300,000 worth of Priority Works. This procedure would be quicker as a minimum of only three contractors per state would need to be approached directly and tender evaluation would be quicker. The alternative approach of Local Competitive Tender comprising Priority Works for both Anambra and Osun States in a single tender dossier was favoured by the Finance and Contracts Department of the EU as this was the procurement process previously agreed. However they acknowledged that up to 60 tenders could be returned and each one would need to be evaluated if the Local Competitive Tender procedure was followed. The EU requested some compelling reasons from the TAT for reverting to Competitive Negotiated Procedure for Anambra and Osun States for up to EURO 300,000 worth of Priority Works so that this could be discussed internally by the EU Head of Finance and Contracts department on Monday 9th March 2015 when a final decision will be made by the EU on this issue. The TAT agreed to make the case for Competitive Negotiated Procedure and sent an email to the EU regarding this. Positive reasons for Competitive Negotiated Procedure include speed of tender evaluation, engagement of each State in nominating local contractors, exposure of States to direct Competitive Negotiated Procedure, the four other States may be encouraged by this rapid response and speed up their counterpart funding arrangements. Disadvantages include that there would be a minimum of two separate contracts to administer Priority Works in Anambra and Osun as two separate tender dossiers would need to be prepared; - A separate tender dossier for the Main Works in Anambra State should be prepared with two lots, one lot comprising 70% of the Works to be funded by the EU and the other lot comprising 30% of the Works to be funded by the State (25%) and beneficiary Communities (5%). The Main Works for Anambra State, cost estimate of about EUR 6 million, will be launched as an International Open Tender due to its contract value. - Post Meeting Note In a telephone conversation between Nick Foster and Kate Kanebi immediately after the meeting, the EU confirmed that the sanitation component of the Works should be included in the Main Works tender dossier for Anambra State.

Attended an IPE meeting on 12th March 2015 at ENPLAN in Abuja to discuss the Construction contracts in the Priority and Main Works tenders, among other issues. The meeting was attended by: Mr Nick Foster, Team Coordinator, TAT Mr Nasser Yakubu, IPE, Jigawa State Mr Muslim Idris, IPE, Kano State 101 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Mr Muhammad Chiroma, IPE, Yobe State Mr Depo Adenle, IPE, Osun State Mr Alao Adebayo, IPE, Cross River State Mr Kabiru Abbas, IPE, Anambra State Mr Francis Ogunpitan, M&E Expert, Abuja Mr Gabriel Ekanem, IWRM, Abuja Mr Shedrack Asuareneme, Security Coordinator, TAT Dr Masud Parkar, International WS Engineer, TAT

The Agenda for this meeting covered: 1 4th 6 monthly Report 2 Update on TAT extension, Interim and long term 3 TAT Workplan and budget 4 Approval and fund release process 5 Update on Works tender dossiers (over design and splitting of contract Lots) 6 Election issues (closure of office, travel and resumption) 7 AOB a Admin Update b Financial Update c Wrap up

Brief notes on meeting as follows.

1: 4th 6 monthly Report: - Only one State has submitted their six monthly report contribution. The other five States will submit their contributions to the report by Monday 16th March 2015. 2: Update on TAT extension, Interim and long term - This will now be done in two stages, an initial two month extension of the TAT services contract, followed by a new TAT services contract for 2 years. Both proposals are being submitted to the EU/NPC this week, with a view to finalising them as soon as possible; - Alao Adebayo, current IPE of Cross River State will be moving to Osun State to take up the IPE position there, vacated by the retirement of Depo Adenle. A new IPE, Mr Matthew Ocholi, is being considered for this position in Cross River State. 3: TAT Workplan and budget - Major items include the prioritisation of a workplan and budget for the 2 month extension period, followed by the same for the 2 year period. 4: Approval and fund release process - The procedure for application, approval and disbursement of funds will be updated and made clearer. It is important that the new application format template only is used for all applications, otherwise approvals and subsequent funds will not be forthcoming. At least five working days are required in order to transfer funds to the States, after approval has been granted, so the applications should be made well in advance of the proposed programme dates. 5: Update on Works tender dossiers - Due to counterpart funding issues in four of the focal States, the EU confirmed that a split lot tender dossier should be prepared for Priority Works in Anambra and Osun States only, as a matter of urgency. The TAT and NPC have suggested to the EU

102 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 that the Priority Works for Osun and Anambra State should be procured using Competitive Negotiated Procedure as each State had less than EURO 300,000 worth of Priority Works. This procedure would be quicker as a minimum of only three Contractors per State would need to be approached directly and tender evaluation would be quicker. The alternative approach of Local Competitive Tender comprising Priority Works for both Anambra and Osun States in a single tender dossier was favoured by Finance and Contracts department of the EU as this was the procurement process previously agreed. However they acknowledged that up to 60 tenders could be returned and each one would need to be evaluated if the Local Competitive Tender procedure was followed. The EU requested and have now received compelling reasons from the TAT for reverting to Competitive Negotiated Procedure for Anambra and Osun States for up to EURO 300,000 worth of Priority Works and a decision on this issue was due on Monday 9th March 2015 but there has been no confirmation yet from the EU. The other four states, namely Cross River, Jigawa, Kano and Yobe have indicated that their States’ counterpart funding will not be forthcoming unless they are well represented in the tender evaluation committee and authorised to disburse their 30% component through contract administration of their split lot. All the States requested that the EU/NPC should communicate directly with each State regarding the issue of 70:30 split lots in the tender dossiers, the make up and roles and responsibilities of all the tender evaluation committee and the procedure for disbursing their 30% component through contract administration of their split lot; - A separate tender dossier for the Main Works in Anambra State should be prepared with two lots, one lot comprising 70% of the Works to be funded by the EU and the other lot comprising 30% of the Works to be funded by the State (25%) and beneficiary Communities (5%). The Main Works for Anambra State, cost estimate of about EUR 6 million, will be launched as an International Open Tender due to its contract value and the EU have confirmed that the Sanitation component of the works should be included in the Main Works tender dossier for Anambra State. 6: Election Issues - Security is still considered very important as no one can predict what will happen after the Presidential election on 28th March 2015, although tensions seem to have eased. Travelling during the few days run up to the election could still be difficult. Post election violence in parts of the country is also possible. All Individuals need to be conscious of their safety and whereabouts during this period. TAT offices should remain closed between Monday 30th March and Friday 3rd April 2015 if necessary and each State should consider the post election security situation carefully and stay safe. 7: AOB - The meeting was wrapped up following a brief update on administrative and financial matters.

Next Visit This has yet to be finalised and will depend largely on the extension to the TAT services contract after 18th March 2015.

2. NIWRMC strategy assessment The IWRM team met with staff from the National Integrated Water Resources Management Commission (NIWRMC) and were brought up to date with regards to the previous and existing strategy documentation by the Coordinating Director, Eng. Reuben Abu and other NIWRMC staff.

The Technical Advisory Team (TAT) carried out a review and prepared draft documentation for potential use in a revised draft of the NIWRM strategy.

Linkages were established with the ongoing work at state level by the TAT and a framework established for linking the national and state level IWRM planning together. This was based on the framework prepared in the previous inputs and developed further at State level.

3. National IWRM strategy integration workshop The WSSSRP ll National IWRM Strategy Integration Workshop was carried out in the Sandralia Hotel, Abuja with representation from the national/federal, state and stakeholder levels. A separate workshop report has been prepared but in summary:-

108 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 Background and objectives The NIWRMC, as part of its existing strategy, plans to develop catchment level institutions in the eight hydrological catchments as identified in Nigeria. The Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Reform Programme of the European Union (WSSSRP ll), supported the establishment/revitalization of State IWRM Committees (IWRMC) in the six focal States in Nigeria (Anambra, Cross River, Jigawa, Kano, Osun, Yobe). Each IWRMC has developed a strategic plan for IWRM implementation at the State level.

The objective of the two day workshop, held in Abuja on the 2nd and 3rd of February 2015, was for the integration of the NIWRMC IWRM Strategy, and the strategic plans of the six State IWRM Committees.

Participation and Activities 79 participants attended, made up of Government officials from the Federal and State levels, Civil Society Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, and development partners, attended the two day event. The mix of participants was deliberate, to ensure that issues were viewed from a multi-stakeholder perspective. Care was also taken to ensure that the State IWRM Committee members were represented. Edo State is interested in setting up its IWRM committee, with the support of the Niger Delta programme of the EU, and therefore sent in three participants to learn and interact with other States with established IWRM committees

Agenda See Annex A Outcome and Next Steps Apart from the main objective of integration of work plans between the State IWRM Committees and the Nigeria IWRM Commission, the workshop also successfully created an opportunity for knowledge sharing, learning, and networking between the State IWRM Committees. Sharing and learning between State IWRM committees must be encouraged in this nascent phase of IWRM development in Nigeria.

The immediate next step from the workshop is the sharing of the documents highlighted in the presentation of the Nigeria IWRM Commission, including the National IWRM Strategy and Water Efficiency Plan, and the Catchment Management Plan for the basins that have commenced or are in progress. Other activities planned include the planning for the establishment of a catchment stakeholder’s forum and the catchment consultative council, which are critical catchment governance structures that will complement the work of the State IWRM Committees and the Nigeria IWRM Commission.

The workshop proved to be significant in that the existence of State IWRM committees, are already being shown to be of great importance. It was clear from the three case studies that the planning process benefits strongly from the dialogue, understanding of the different perspectives given from within the IWRM committees and data/information (where the IWRM committees are able to provide it). The three case studies presented were:  the Hydro-electric potential in Cross River State (as presented by GIZ)  the HJKY strategic planning (as presented by the HJKY trust fund)  the Irrigation development in KRIP/HVIP (presented by Haskoning)

109 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 The following are the major elements of integration that the workshop arrived at: 1. The objective of the integration exercise is to ensure coherence and not uniformity between the various plans. 2. The state IWRMCs and the NIWRMC have the common goal of promoting the implementation of IWRM at the national and state levels respectively. 3. In general the workshop agreed on the need for joint/coordinated action in the following areas of promoting the implementation of IWRM. a) Rising of awareness of IWRM among line MDAs and the general public. b) Advocating for the passage of Water Resources Policy and Water Resources Law c) Catalyzing the improvement or creation of data base 4. The following aspects of the plan of the NIWRMC are to be engrained into the plans of the SIWRMCs: a) Regarding the provision of Enabling Environment:  Advocacy within states for the passage of the Water Resources Law and Policy.  Catalyzing the creation of Water Resources Information Management Systems b) Regarding Institutional Framework and Capacity building:  The State IWRMs should link up with the CMOs  Ditto with RBDAs  Facilitate undertaking of capacity needs assessment c) Regarding Stewardship and Regulation of Water Resources:  Catalyse the development of CMPs and Water Charter  Catalyse the development of Water Allocation/Apportionment Systems.  Contribute towards the identification and building of water quality data base d) Regarding Comprehensive Drought and Disaster Management:  Identify and link up with SEMA

INTRODUCTION

This report is an outcome of the procurement team’s second visit between 24/10/2014 and 14/11/2014. Dr. Duraisaminathan Visvanathan, International Procurement Expert travelled on 23/10/2014 and started his mission on 24/10/2014. This report presents the objectives, activities undertaken so far and future plans for the procurement of works and supplies under this Programme.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives set out in the ToR are as follows

The Procurement Experts have been recruited to fulfil the following programme objectives and results: Project objective 3: To support urban and small towns water institutions in the six states to deliver sustainable water supply service. Result 3b Access to safe water supply in urban and small towns is increased

Specific activities in the TAT Terms of Reference and the focal states first year work plan to which the experts are expected to:  Provide support to the NAO, and to the project implementing and recipient agencies in the FMWR and in the six States in the preparation of ToR's, tender dossiers and tender evaluation and supervision of implementation as may be required for contracts under specific commitments.  Assist the State in adapting to the national procurement procedures, established in the 2007 National Procurement Bill, and to build the capacity of State institutions to carry out fair and transparent procurement.  Support the States in preparing technical specifications and producing tender dossiers for procurement of contractors for construction and O&M.  Assist the NAO in launching and evaluating tenders, award recommendations and preparation of contract documents.  Liaise with the NPC/EUD in Abuja to confirm Contractual, Commercial and Financial Terms and Conditions for the Tender Dossiers.

SUMMARY OF EARLIER ACTIVITIES ON PROCUREMENT NEEDS

During the previous mission, procurement team helped the NPC and EUD in the preparation of tender dossier for the following.

Works contracts Priorities works (local open tender procedure) Main works (international open tender procedure)

115 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES DURING THIS PERIOD

Supply Contracts

Supply requirements have been divided into two groups (a) office equipment and (b) water resources monitoring equipment.

Tender document for the office equipment prepared during the previous mission was discussed and modified for launching. Finally it was sent to NPC and EUD for approval.

The tender document for the water resources monitoring equipment has been prepared during the second mission. It was discussed and modified and finally submitted to EUD for their review.

Works contracts

Contributions from States and the level of participation of States in the procurement process delayed the launching of tenders. None of the states have set aside this contribution money except Anambra state. Several meetings (24/10, 29/10, 07/11, 12/11 and 13/11) were held with EUD and NPC to discuss these issues. Finally it was agreed to present the case to States to take a decision on the contribution and level of engagement. The presentation made to the State participants on 13/11 is presented in the Annexure 1.

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED BY NPC/EU

1) Persuade the States to set aside their contributions in a separate bank account as soon as possible. 2) Appointment of tender evaluation team including representation from the States.

FUTURE WORKS

Still most of the objectives are to be completed and we will give importance to the launching of works and supply tenders during future missions.

ITEM DESCRIPTION & ACTION DEADLINE RESPONSIBLE

1 Main works PI Notice issued

It has been informed that the PI Notice for the main works have been issued both in the local paper and also on the EU website.

2 Procedure for sharing of contract costs for Priority and Main Works. As per the Financing Agreement, 70% should be paid by the EU and rest 30% (25% from each of the 6 focal States and 5% from the community) by the State and the community. In today’s meeting, it was decided to split the Lots into 1a & 1b, 2a & 2b,…, and 6a & 6b, in which ‘a’ will cover As soon as possible NPC EU’s 70% contribution and ‘b’ will cover States’ 30%

contribution.

A letter in this regard has not yet been sent by the NPC

to States.

The contracting modalities for this split discussed are as below. (a) There will be two separate contracts for ‘a’ and ‘b’, which will be signed by NPC and State respectively. (b) There will be separate evaluation committees for ‘a’ and ‘b’, where NPC and State takes chairmanship respectively. (c) The sanitation component could be included under the ‘b’ – State lots. However these contracting modalities (mainly in the Week starting by 27th TAT Sections 1 and 2 of the tender dossier) have to be Oct 14 decided by TAT and sent to NPC and EUD for their view.

ITEM DESCRIPTION & ACTION DEADLINE RESPONSIBLE

1 Priority Works

Due to the contractual difficulties, it is agreed to go ahead with the Priority Works (PW) as one tender with On or before 10th NPC and TAT six lots rather than breaking it up further. In order to November 2014 proceed with the launching of this tender, EUD wanted to see the bank statements of the States where the money (at least 20 million Naira) sits in for this purpose (and/or) a letter from the States saying that they are committed to make the 30% of the PW contract to the contractor on signature of the supervising authority appointed by the NPC for this work. This letter should be obtained before signing of contract with contractors. However EUD will allow launching of the PW tender only on receipt of the bank statement.

2 Main Works

Two options were discussed. First option is same as Priority Works, as discussed above. Second option is preparation of seven tender documents one for each state (30% component of their works) and one for the EU component (70%) of all States together. The States need to be sensitised and trained on the EU tender procedures in order to implement it.

It will be decided based on the response from the States on the deposit of 30% in advance in the specific bank accounts.

3 Priority Works Tender Corrections

Construction work schedule has to be prepared in State TATs ASAP State TATs order to decide the contract period.

Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Reform Programme II (WSSSRP11) Nigeria National Water Resource Policy Mission Report – January to March 2015

The period covered by this mission report is January to early March 2015 with an input of 30 working days. The location of Mission was Abuja Nigeria.

Introduction 1. The current assignment was to revise and update the 2004 and 2009 Nigerian Water Resource Policy. In reality the Policy Document consists primarily of a long list of things that the Federal Ministry of Water Resources want to do in the coming years. It is lacking in any coherent policy or meaningful directives and was largely put together by soliciting the States for the projects that they would like to see done.

2. What is lacking in the document is a long term vision and any coherence in the policy. Areas that have been ignored in previous years such as monitoring of water quality, pollution, sanitation and groundwater continue to be ignored. There is no effort on the part of the FMWR to accept that they are, or ought to be, the stewards of Nigeria’s water and no meaningful management role envisaged for FMWR. At present the Ministry are carrying out such ‘projects’ as drilling boreholes for rural water; not something that a Federal Ministry should be tasked with.

3. As the 2004 and 2009 documents have failed to move forward, it would seem to time to produce a document that would encapsulate a long term vision for the Ministry capturing the tasks that the Ministry should be doing. The first step being to acknowledge the oft repeated statement “Nigeria has an abundant supply of water” is almost certainly wrong with no attempt being made to determine the extent of water pollution and with the drilling of boreholes under no control at all. What is attempted is to produce a Water Policy that looks to the long term and tries to lay down a set of functions for the FMWR that will give them a set of responsibilities that would make them the Ministry who have the overall responsibility for the and management of control of Nigeria’s water resources.

4. There is an additional urgency to producing a water policy that the FMWR seemed to be unaware of until the consultant drew their attention to it. The United Nations 2015 population figures show that Nigeria has a population of just over 183,500,000, by 2045, just thirty years time, this number will have more than doubled to 394,300,000. This assumes a falling birth rate. Nigeria will be the third most populated country on the planet with only India and China ahead of it. Pressure on water at this point will be extreme, particularly in and around urban and peri-urban areas. The intention is to address this with a Nigeria National Water Resource Policy that will change the FMWR from the entity it is today to the active player in charge of ensuring everyone in Nigeria has access to clean water and to sanitation

The Proposed Policy 5. Surface and groundwater bodies in Nigeria are frequently of poor quality due to pollution and, in and around large urban areas, are particularly bad with industry typically sited around and close to urban centres. Most streams that flow through urban centres flow like waste sludge because of the indiscriminate disposal of both solid and liquid household waste in storm drains that eventually discharge into these streams; additionally the unregulated cottage industries and automotive repair shops add to this waste disposal as well as poorly located refuse dumpsites. In Lagos the commercial companies that empty septic tanks usually dump it into the lagoons around the city resulting in waters that are near toxic

6. Surface water bodies into which industrial effluent discharges are made are also severely polluted and the groundwater that is downstream of industrial areas is generally polluted to varying degrees

7. Nigeria does not have a nationwide network programme for water quality monitoring and all the monitoring that has been done has been undertaken by various organizations to meet their specific requirements. Groundwater in particular is overlooked with no regulations governing the quality of groundwater nor any overall responsibility for monitoring the quality of groundwater throughout the country.

127 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

8. There is no pollution monitoring system. What the Federal Ministry of the Environment (FME) describes falls short of real monitoring. The monitoring that is done is usually periodic by an accredited consultant whose services are paid for by the polluter. This is line with guidelines that industries should monitor their effluents in-house while FME will crosscheck the effluent characteristics to ascertain the degree of compliance. The existing system as described above is ineffective. FME’s guidelines stipulate that persistent offenders should be prosecuted in court. As far as can be determined no such prosecution has ever been taken to court.

9. It is not sufficient to have standards for drinking water quality only. All water, both surface and groundwater, needs to be maintained to standards that make it suitable for all economic uses. At present there is no effective system for ensuring the quality of water. There are:

 No clear responsibilities  No mandated water quality standards  No effective water quality monitoring  No enforcement  No sanctions for polluters  No remediation  No overall picture of the extent of the problem

Responsibility 10. The only Ministry that is in a position to deal with both quantity and quality of water in an integrated manner is the FMWR. This does not preclude other ministries and other layers of government having a role in monitoring or enforcement of water quality standards. However there need to be clear responsibilities that are properly discharged.

11. The FMWR needs to examine the existing water laboratories and monitoring systems and their adequacy for national surface and groundwater monitoring and modelling. It would examine changes that might be required in terms of increasing the number of laboratories or modifying the monitoring system. It should also recommend modelling systems for pollution in order to be able to make adequate assessments of the state of surface and groundwater resources in Nigeria.

12. It is also necessary to address remediation. It will not be sufficient to address future water pollution; there is a legacy of pollution of the surface and groundwater resources in Nigeria that needs to be addressed and cleaned up. This applies particularly with regard to non-point pollution such as human waste which is a major component of water pollution. It is necessary to develop measures for remediation of the pollution of Nigeria’s water resources together with an action plan to implement the remediation.

13. This Water Policy should not only encompass projects going forward. In the spirit of an IWRM approach it will also seek to undo the harm that has been the result of earlier poorly thought out policies, decisions and projects. It is no small matter, it will involve a major rethink in how we all operate, and what our objectives are.

Drinking Water 14. The primary objective of a Water Resource Policy needs to be the provision of satisfactory drinking water, available to all.

15. Two strategies have been proposed to achieve policy objectives, both centre on affordability - "ensure affordability of water supply and sanitation services for all citizens; and guarantee affordable access for the poor". Both strategies imply elements of tariff and subsidy. The people who are currently benefiting from subsidized water are the relatively well off. On average, domestic consumers in both low and high- density areas pay for only about 30% of their actual consumption. There are health implications associated with the poor paying higher prices for water. They resort to using alternative sources of poor quality and use less water. The latter situation also has hygiene implications.

16. The three tiers of government (Federal, State and Local Government) have been making attempts at improving access to low income areas and shanties using motorized boreholes with overhead tanks in various sections of the urban centres. This is because of the cost needed to rehabilitate or extend distribution pipes to the shanties and new peri-urban areas. The input from the federal level comes in form of “constituency boreholes” which are allocated to each senatorial district for political reasons. The 128 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015

state and local governments are also sinking boreholes in various sections of the urban community. However, these efforts are uncoordinated; furthermore these boreholes are dumped on the benefiting urban and peri-urban communities without prior consultation. They are not demand driven and there is frequently no sense of ownership by the beneficiaries. This usually results the facility becoming non- functional within a short time of completion.

17. Very few people in small towns have access to a safe water supply. Only 5% get water from protected groundwater such as boreholes and less than 0.5% enjoy pipe-borne water. About 80% of all government owned water systems in small towns are non-operational.

18. UNICEF and WaterAid are active in rural water supply and sanitation. Unlike the FGN their programmes are demand driven. These programmes usually achieve their objectives because not only are they demand driven but they are also managed by the benefiting communities. The two programmes incorporate sanitation because of the fact that morbidity and infantile mortality are more significantly reduced once the two go hand-in-hand. However, these ESAs have limited coverage. UNICEF is a major player in WSS but it covers only 111 LGAs (out of 744 nationwide) and only 222 communities, i.e. two focus communities in each of the LGAs (out of tens of thousands nationwide).

19. At present Water Companies in urban areas are selling water at a price that is lower than the cost of supplying it; that is when they are charging for it at all. This is obviously not sustainable. Water Companies must be run as businesses that cover all of their costs just like any successful business. Water will need to be charged for in all of its uses and regardless of its source, so there will be, as made clear in the NWRP, extraction charges for both surface water and for groundwater.

20. Water pricing should be set at levels that ensure financial viability of the providers of water; an essential underpinning to government efforts to involve the private sector in the provision of water, particularly drinking water. The provision of drinking water should be charged. At present, the low flat rate charges that are most commonly applied represent a subsidy for water. This subsidy leaves the water supply authorities with insufficient funds to operate effectively or to carry out maintenance and works for the conservation of water. It is frequently argued that low prices are necessary in order to protect the poor however most of the urban poor do not have piped water and are dependent upon water vendors.

21. Those who are currently benefiting from subsidised water are the relatively well-off who are connected to piped water. The poor at present are purchasing water at a price many times above that of the water the more affluent are using to wash their cars. If the poorer sections of the population were provided piped water at the marginal cost of that provision they would almost certainly use more water than they do at present and would be paying far less.

22. The poor should have access to piped water provided by the water authorities and, if the poor are to be protected, it is not necessary to for Government to subsidise water supplied. A simple stepped, block tariff system, could protect the poor while managing demand and encouraging conservation. The stepped tariff not only ensures that the basic needs of the poor are met at an affordable price it also ensures that the wealthier section of society, who use more water will, when faced with a higher price per/lt. have a strong incentive to avoid wastage. This type of demand management will conserve water and reduce the capital cost of the water supply system.

Sanitation 23. Nigeria has an unenviable public health record; most problems are due to the absence of clean water and adequate sanitation and, where potable water is available, the potential gains are frequently negated by contamination of the water after delivery due to poor sanitation practices. Diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, paratyphoid, guinea worm, bilharzia and shistosomiasis are all common. Every one of these diseases is preventable with good public health.

24. For there to be effective public health there is a need for both potable water and effective sanitary disposal of human waste. There has been insufficient recognition of this in both water projects and in government policy until recently.

25. According to the 2003 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, 10.1 percent of the urban population have no toilet facilities of any type whilst 61% use pit latrines and 28% use flush toilets. Rural households are less well served with more than 34 percent having no toilet facilities. In the peri-urban centres, children as well as adults defecate indiscriminately at dumpsites, gutters or any available open space. These unsanitary methods of excreta and sewage management have tremendous negative effects on the health of the public and the environment.

26. The National Environmental Sanitation Policy (NESP) was developed by the Federal Ministry of Environment. The policy covers:

 Solid waste  Medical waste management  Excreta and sewage management  Food sanitation  Sanitary inspection of premises  Market and abattoir management  Adequate potable water supply  School sanitation  Pest and vector control  Management of Urban drainage  Control of reared and stray animals  Disposal of the dead (man and animals)  Weed and Vegetation control  Hygiene education and promotion 27. The FME has responsibility for a range of environmental issues including many that had previously been under the Ministry of Health. These responsibilities include the provision of potable water and excreta and sewage management but it is recognised in the policy document that the FMWR will collaborate with the FME on water sanitation activities including sewage, storm water control and quality control of water supply sources. Furthermore the document recognises that the FMWR should be responsible for ensuring access to adequate potable water supply to all Nigerians.

28. With regard to sanitation the FMWR needs to concentrate on the interface between sanitation and water. Urban areas are major sources of pollution, some of this is industrial pollution and a much is the result of unsanitary disposal of human waste. Existing pollution regulation, insofar as it exists, has a tendency to ignore the contribution of human waste. However, if the FMWR is to fulfil its mandate of ensuring water quality it will have to address this issue. At present there is no measure of the amount of pollution of surface and groundwater that is caused by human waste.

29. The present sanitation policy is an adequate framework on which to build an implementation strategy. Areas of particular interest to FMWR are:  Provision of water supply  Sewerage,  Storm water control, and  Quality control of water supply sources. 30. There is a need to move beyond the policy document and develop an implementation strategy. The FME has produced an “Action Plan” but it falls far short of an implementation strategy. Additionally there are areas which are not being adequately addressed, particularly those at the interface of water and sanitation. Neither the Policy Document, the Action Plan, nor the Policy Guidelines give sufficient recognition of this interface. For sanitation this is the area that the FMWR should be concentrating on and addressing the following issues:  The pollution of groundwater from septic systems  The pollution of both surface and groundwater by industry, including small and cottage industry  The pollution of both surface and groundwater from defecation in open spaces and public drains  Pollution of surface water from raw sewage emptying into public drains  Pollution of surface water from sewerage systems failing to treat wastewater  The pollution of surface and groundwater from improper dumping of sullage from septic systems  Urban drainage, which is linked to all of the above. The worst sanitary conditions now occur as the result of rapid urbanization and uncontrolled population growth. On the peripheries of cities shanty towns and squatters have led to the growth of slums with people 130 WSSSRP II TAT Six Monthly Report 4, March 2015 living in appalling squalor. These peri-urban neighbourhoods often remain officially invisible with their illegal status meaning that they are not taken into account in municipal programmes to improve or extend sanitation. They represent the major public health risk. Without addressing these issues the FMWR cannot adequately fulfil its surface and groundwater quality mandate. If water quality standards are to be met then it is necessary to clean up urban and peri-urban areas; this requires addressing drinking water and sanitation, including solid waste disposal. Major cities are growing, as they are in all developing countries, as a result of rapid rural-urban migration. This is leading to the uncontrolled growth of shanty towns and slums around the periphery of large cities. These present particular difficulties for the provision of clean water and adequate sanitation; these difficulties have to be addressed and dealt with. The FMWR should be taking the lead in addressing the issues of the pollution of drinking water in and around Nigerian cities. It has to be realised that pollution in and around cities, in particular, can pollute the very resource that is used for drinking water. There needs to be a real educational effort linked with hygiene education to create an awareness that current behavioural practices contribute to disease and ill health. Two PowerPoint presentations were given; the first laying out the areas that needed addressing and the second emphasising the situation faces by Nigeria with regard to the future need for clean water given the rapid population growth.
