WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 6 1.1 Executive Summary
The United States Agency for International Development Tanzania (USAID) Water Resources Integration Development Initiative (WARIDI) promotes integrated water resources management and service delivery across multiple sectors, with the goal of improved water resources management and service access. Specifically, in selected districts of the Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu river basins, the project: Component 1 – Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Services: Increases access to sustainable multiple-use water, sanitation and hygiene services; Component 2 – Governance: Strengthens governance for sustainable and resilient management of water resources and services under a changing climate; Component 3 – Private Sector: Increases livelihoods through supporting private sector opportunities in sustainable WASH services, agriculture and natural resource management. WARIDI works through national and local government authorities, the two Basin Boards, communities, private entities and civil society to improve equitably le delivery of water-related services and to enhance integrated watershed management approaches from basin to household level. WASH and livelihood services focus on demand-driven requests from Local Government Authorities (LGAs) receiving project support, while emphasizing private-sector partnerships for efficiency and sustainability, through the lenses of climate change adaptation, gender integration and youth inclusion. Highlights of WARIDI achievement in Q2 of FY19 include: Component 1 • In Q2, WARIDI completed construction of two rural water supply schemes, Mwaya and Kiberege, which serve 42,416 people. This completes the construction of the 16 rural water supply schemes that began in FY17 benefitting 169,311 people. • Construction of ten solar water schemes in Kilosa and Mvomero LGAs is proceeding as scheduled with designs completed and concurrence from LGA District Water Engineers and local materials delivered to sites. COWSOs have been formed and trained, as well as MOUs developed with communities outlining community roles and responsibilities during scheme construction. • Rural water supply for new schemes is on schedule with 11 schemes (serving approximately 100,000 people) approved internally for intervention; construction services and materials procurement is in process. Fifteen (15) additional sites were scoped for possible intervention. • WARIDI’s urban water supply interventions progressed according to schedule with IRUWASA submitting designs to WARIDI for review. The revised average cost per beneficiary of the schemes is approximately $21.30 • In FY19 WARIDI expects to report 103,616 beneficiaries from construction activities (from Q1 and Q2) with the majority of beneficiaries from current construction activities being counted in Q1 and Q2 of FY20. • Estimates conducted during the quarter project that WARIDI will reach 350,000 beneficiaries through direct water supply construction over the life of project; additional beneficiaries will be reached through water distribution point repairs or extensions under COWSO grants. WARIDI is committed to reaching the target of 520,000 beneficiaries through direct implementation as per the terms of the MELP and ultimately the approved Task Order Modification No. 10. However, several unforeseen factors including: higher-than-anticipated cost per beneficiary (CPB), late start of construction activities than anticipated during work planning and uncertainty of projects duration meant that there would be neither sufficient funds to reach the target nor sufficient time to
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 7 complete all the schemes. We note the MELP PIRS and Modification No. 10 both allow counting of COWSOs. • WARIDI grantees in eight LGAs focused on providing technical support to COWSOs to strengthen their capacity. This includes support to rehabilitate or construct new water points, support to develop financial documents, update water user registries, develop business and facility management plans, calculate and set tariffs, and develop metering plans. Technical support to rehabilitate schemes and construct new water points resulted in customers receiving access to improved water services. Highlights for technical support include: – Rehabilitation and construction of approximately 46 water points in Wanging’ombe DC, 17 water points in Njombe 18 water points in Mufindi, 3 water points in Ulanga, 34 water points in Bagamoyo, 84 water points in Morogoro Rural and 21 Water points in Gairo – Construction of a new intake for Igosi COWSO in Wanging’ombe, a new electrical pump for Tambalang’ombe COWSO in Mufindi, and a rehabilitated intake in Ulanga for Rwamanchili COWSO – Pipeline repairs also fixed systems for approximately 60,000 people in Malinyi DC (based on COWSO population estimates) • In February 2019, LGAs received payments from PbR from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MOWI). Many LGAs expressed gratitude to WARIDI for supporting them to register and update their water point database, which allowed them to access additional funds. WARIDI support to rehabilitate and extend services is also helping the LGAs receive increased payments from the program. • WARIDI, through its partnership with Water.org, supported one financial partner, Equity Bank, to identify and shortlist high performing COWSOs that have received WARIDI support and are interested in loans. Forty COWSOs were shortlisted for further assessment and Equity Bank was able to complete due diligence for six COWSOs. • WARIDI received approval to extend nine ODF grants in Q2 for six months each, covering two additional milestones. Grants in LGAs with additional SWASH activities were extended for 10 months. • WARIDI awarded five follow-on grants in its first five LGAs (Kilosa, Mvomero, Kilombero, Kilolo and Iringa DC) which will be implemented from March-December, with a school WASH component. • WARIDI grantees delivered BCC messages through community sensitization meetings and local media. WARIDI provided grantees with materials from the national campaign to deliver BCC messages in their respective working areas. • In February, WARIDI hosted a joint monitoring visit with ministry officials from PO-RALG, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and LGA officials in Bagamoyo, Malinyi and Wanging’ombe. After the visit, the participants came together for a review workshop in Mikumi.
Component 2 • During the quarter WARIDI implemented the planned capacity building activities. In January, Rufiji Basin’s ten newly elected board members were trained on their roles, responsibilities and leadership in IWRM. • In February, WARIDI project supported the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board to carry-out ground water abstraction points survey in Chamazi ward, Temeke Municipal which is in Kizinga River Catchment. The exercise reached 779 unregistered boreholes. 55 applications for water use permits were received from Chamazai Ward within two months as a result of the surveys and 45 from neighboring wards. Normally the basin would receive 12 in the full year, • In March, WARIDI supported the Rufiji Basin Water Board to carry-out ground water abstraction points in Mafinga. The abstraction survey reached 128 boreholes, whereby all owners were
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 8 informed of the official procedures in place regarding drilling boreholes, permits, water quality observation needs and a 21 days’ notice to make sure they initiate the process of acquiring water use permits. • From March 25th and 26th 2019 WARIDI supported the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board to conduct a two-day workshop to increase Tanzanian media company’s awareness of and reporting on Integrated Water Resources Management in the two Basins and more broadly in Tanzania. A total of 36 Journalists from 23 media houses attended and eight related print, video and radio outputs were distributed by participating journalists. • WARIDI continued assisting the Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu BWB offices to improve the ability to collect, manage and use Hydromet data for more effective decision making. WARIDI experts supported both BWB Offices continue improvement of the rating curves; support data quality control, validation, and management. • A total of 135 participants (66 women) from 13 farmer field schools were trained on practical application of Conservation Agriculture and crop harvesting - weeding and crop protection, harvesting, storage, processing and marketing. • Through WARIDI Grant to TFCG, 17 village communities have been trained on Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) and assisted in establishment of nine (9) functional VSLA groups in 9 villages. Each of these VSLA is composed of 30 members (50% women). • With the unexpected closure of the Kilombero Plantation Limited (KPL) during the quarter, the Payment for Environmental Services (PES) scheme has been placed on hold, pending further discussions with TFCG and other players on alternative sources of buyers for the water services. WARIDI held meetings with grantee partner TFCG to identify possible ways forward. These included: TFCG to provide an estimate of PES funds to be paid to communities for Year 1 and 2 of the PES Scheme, TFCG/WARIDI to conduct a detailed analysis of possible budget savings and advise on amounts that will be unspent by end of YEAR 2 of the project and that TFCG makes extra efforts to consult other potential sources of funding (e.g. GoT Stieglers Gorge project, AWF and the new KPL buyer) • WARIDI conducted consultations with key players on Climate Change in Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu basins in order to discuss synergies and discover overlaps. A couple on-going initiatives largely address the core elements of WARIDI’s subtask 2.4.1 on climate change projections. In view of this, WARIDI is now finalizing discussions with BWBs on practical and complementary support towards BWB planning and decision-making. • WARIDI engaged a qualified STTA to facilitate development of the Village Land Use Plans (VLUPs) and Certificates of Customary Rights of Occupancy (CCRO) in 3 selected climate change hotspot village in Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu Basins with work to begin in full during Q3.
Component 3 • Finalized the baseline report and conducted a midterm review for the eWATERpay pilot in Mvumi and Msowero COWSOs, whereby information was collected from COWSO leaders and water users through Focus Group Discussions. Officials and 83 community members in Mvumi and Msowero COWSOs participated. The baseline report is included in Annex 8 and the midterm review will be reported in Q3. • Continued with final preparations in advance of launching the Medentech water treatment pilot. The pilot will be launched in Mvumi COWSO in early Q3. • With support of the IR 1 team, the Partnerships Team developed a COWSO survey report focused on shortlisting 24 COWSOs for financing. Equity Bank held meetings with shortlisted COWSOs in Q2 to prepare for financing. • WARIDI conducted a 1-day Microenterprise Training Review Meeting in Morogoro in which internal and external partners reviewed feedback from the first 10 LGAs.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 9 • Conducted 10 trainings across 10 districts/LGAs with a total of 286 microenterprise participants. The trainings covered marketing and sales techniques and development of WASH sales and marketing plans, bookkeeping, basic accounting and financing options, and business plan development. • The WARIDI Road Show continued in Q2 in 10 LGAs at Morogoro and Iringa regions. Ten road show partners were represented, reaching 18,590 people. 3,770 participants attended products demonstration booths, 3,192 attended women’s forums and entrepreneurship forums, and 11,628 (estimated) attended the open Roadshow. Two additional (partners (Proactive Solar Pump and Anglican Church Social Services) were engaged in the road show in Q2. Anglican Church Social Service will provide min drip irrigation kit which fit well to our MUS livelihoods approach. This approach includes advocacy for efficient use of water for domestic and productive use where trained farmers will have access to affordable irrigation kits for home gardens. Proactive Solar will provide a dual purpose irrigation solar and power generator technology. • The roadshow is contributing to for indicator namely: #1.4 number of new or improved commercial WASH products and services introduced in the WARIDI LGAs, #1.5 Number of villages and population verified for universal sanitation coverage of any latrine type and no open defecation, #3.2 Number of WASH and MUS service providers are assisted with technical, business capacity or access to finance and #2.5 Number of community leaders and resource personnel promoting gender equity and women and youth empowerment within their spheres of influence. • In Q2 WARIDI livelihoods team, conducted detail assessment of market opportunities for sanitation coverage through handwashing facilities in WARIDI operated areas. The assessment was conducted in seven LGAs (Gairo, Mvomero, Kilosa, Kilombero, Mufindi, Kilolo and Iringa DC) reaching 260 local entrepreneurs (63 male and 197 female). The assessment aimed to identify business opportunities available and obstacles facing entrepreneurs at community settings. Data were collected on potential business opportunities and obstacles, primary soft and technical skills needs. Through focussed groups discussions (FGDs) the team collected information on business premises and Gender based constraints. The major findings were a better understanding of the entrepreneurs’ capacity needs and priorities for growth. • Carried out livelihoods assessments in new water scheme scoped under IR1 in Gairo, Kilosa, Mvomero, Kilombero, Mufindi, Kilolo and Iringa DCs reaching 16 villages and meeting with 320 farmers (178 male and 142 female) and 32 community leaders through interviews and focus group discussion. The assessment focused on identifying promising existing MUS agricultural opportunities and the gaps where WARIDI could support to enhance farmers’ technologies adoption or improved management practices, increase community resilience to climate change and increase women and youth access to productive economic resources. The assessment also identified sustainability strategies for WARIDI’s interventions when the project is phased out. Findings are summarised in sub task 3.3.2 (page 70) while the full report will be shared in Q3. • During the quarter WARIDI followed upon adoption of improvement management practices and in Kilosa, Mvomero and Iringa DC and found that farmers are increasingly applying the technologies. In Q2 the recent visits showed that 440 farmers including TOTs farmers (181 Males, 259 Females), youth (243) and women (120) trained have applied new technologies and continue to disseminate improved techniques. • WARIDI subgrantee TFCG held farmer trainings on climate-smart agriculture for 135 participants (66 of whom were women). 963 tree seedlings of mango, avocado and orange were established by individual farmers adopted from training, and 1,213 seedlings of avocado were established by FFS in four villages. New FFS farms were established in Ihimbo and Kpanga and 56 (23 women) farmers were trained on the use of manures. 2.5 kg of beans were sown by each FFS group. • TFCG raised awareness in 17 village communities on Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) and established 9 functioning groups in Idunda, Uluti, Itonya, Mhanga, Ilutila, Idegenda, Masisiwe,

Cross-cutting Themes • The GIYI team convened two additional biannual progress meetings. The first was held in Iringa district and achieved participations from all nine districts. The second focused on the Coastal districts of Chalinze and Bagamoyo. • The GIYI team submitted an abstract on the UPWARD gendered social norms change activity to the annual Maji Week Scientific Conference sponsored by the GOT’s Ministry of Water. Among 92 submitted abstracts, the WARIDI UPWARD abstract was one of 42 selected and presented, and the only abstract with a gender equality focus. • Two USAID implementing partners from beyond the WASH sector have contacted WARIDI to feature the Project’s GIYI work (UPWARD), in their publications and best practice dissemination effort. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) invited WARIDI to contribute a case study on our experience integrating gender into resilience programming to a chapter on gender and resilience for the forthcoming ReSAKSS annual trends and outlook report (ATOR). • The Climate Change Specialist, Gender Specialist, and both Basin Water Board Coordinators presented abstracts and one poster at the Maji Week Conference which will subsequently be developed into scientific publications for publishing. • WARIDI participated in multiple events to promote WARIDI including the handover ceremony to the Basin Water Boards held on March 21 after which articles were published by major media outlets including Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation (TBC), Tanzania Standard Newspapers Ltd (Daily News/Habari Leo Newspapers), Independent Television (ITV), Guardian (IPP Media) and Mwananchi Communication Limited (the Citizen and Mwananchi Newspapers). • USAID/WARIDI received global coverage including article titled “Building Self-reliant Communities is Critical to Reliable Rural Water Supply in Tanzania” and USAID Global Waters article titled “Building Local Capacity to Protect and Manage Water Resources in Tanzania.” • During Q2 supported WARIDI supported Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board to conduct a two-day workshop with different media houses in Bagamoyo to raise awareness of and reporting on Integrated Water Resources Management in Tanzania. A total of 36 Journalists from 23 media houses attended and published multiple media pieces after participating. Project Management On January 17 the Deputy Chief of Party, Leif Kindberg mobilized to Morogoro, Tanzania, and assumed his responsibilities. WARIDI submitted the FY19 Q1 report on-time and this was approved after one round of revisions on 25 March. WARIDI had support from several consultants and home office staff during the quarter including Water4Life’s Bart Hilhorst and Brad Garner, Winrock home office Project Manager Mark Tribble as well as partner project SERVIR East and Southern Africa staff members Denis Macharia and Anastasia Wahome from Nairobi Kenya who will be supporting activities on climate change in Q3 and beyond. Two engagement agents changed titles and scope of responsibilities during the quarter. Lilian Mkusa, Engagement Agent in Mafinga TC was promoted to Enterprise and Partnerships Support Officer. Kanabora Saro, Engagement Agent in Njombe TC was promoted to Sanitation Assistant. A new position was added, Enterprise and Partnerships Specialist to support the ramp up and successful completion of the livelihoods and partnership activities.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 11 During the quarter discussions were held with the Tanzania Peace Corps Director, Nelson Cronyn on possible extension of Peace Corps Volunteer positions with WARIDI as the current volunteers phase out in May and August.

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 24 ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
Implementation Status of Planned Activities
The following narrative describes progress implementing Tasks and Sub-tasks outlined in WARIDI’s approved Year 4 (FY 2019) Work Plan during the period of 01 January to 31 March 2018. Activity tables included in the work plan for Q2 are provided, with comments, to demonstrate progress with each of the activities planned during the period.
Intermediate Result 1: Services: Increased Utilization of Sustainable Multiple-Use Water and Sanitation Services (MUS)
Task 1.1: Access to sustainable MUS in Rural LGAs In this quarter, WARIDI completed construction of two rural water supply schemes, Mwaya and Kiberege, which serve 42,416 people. This completes the construction of the 16 rural water supply schemes that began in FY17. Construction of the solar schemes is proceeding as scheduled. The designs have received concurrence from LGA District Water Engineers and local materials are on site. Contractors will commence construction activities in April 2019. COWSOs have been formed and trained, as well as MOUs developed with communities outlining community roles and responsibilities during scheme construction. Rural water supply for new schemes is on schedule, 11 schemes have been approved for intervention and construction services and materials are being procured. WARIDI expects all construction to begin in Q3 for these sites. Fifteen additional sites were scoped for possible intervention. Remaining sites for construction will be selected in Q3. WARIDI’s urban water supply interventions are also on schedule. In Q2 IRUWASA submitted designs to WARIDI for review. Procurement is expected to take place in Q3, with construction beginning at the end of Q3.

• Overall, construction is on schedule for rural and urban water supply. 40 rural water projects were scoped in Q1 and Q2 of FY19 for possible construction. As of Q2, 11 schemes have been approved for intervention, which will serve approximately 100,000 people. However, due to budget limitations, WARIDI will only be able to approve a limited number of additional projects depending on average cost per beneficiary. Given this limitation, the project expects to only reach approximately 350,000 people through direct water supply construction over the life of the project based on current projections for cost-per-beneficiary. WARIDI expects to come to close to achieving its life of project target of 520,000 beneficiaries through repairs to water distribution points and system expansions under the COWSO grants. WARIDI is committed to reaching the target of 520,000 beneficiaries through direct implementation as per the terms of the MELP and
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 25 ultimately the approved Task Order Modification No. 10. However, several unforeseen factors including: higher-than-anticipated cost per beneficiary (CPB), late start of construction activities than anticipated during work planning and uncertainty of projects duration before the scoping assessments meant that there would be neither sufficient funds to reach the targets nor sufficient time to complete the schemes. We note the MELP PIRS and Modification No. 10 both allow counting of COWSOs and during Q3 WARIDI will verify the number of beneficiaries who have directly gained access to basic drinking water services through repairs/extensions carried out by WARIDI trained COWSOs to see if there are verified improvements in basic drinking water service. • Rural water supply beneficiaries were estimated based on an average CPB of $13 per person, similar to the $13.54 from the first 16 schemes implemented. To date, 26 schemes have been approved for intervention in FY19 at an average CPB of $20, based on scoping assessments and preliminary engineering estimates, which are subject to change. • In addition, the average cost per person of the solar schemes was estimated to be $45 per person based on the scoping studies. In reality, the average cost per person went up to about $185 given the actual designs and infrastructure required to serve an extremely remote population with reliable solar-powered water supply. The budget set aside for solar schemes, $225,000 USD, was woefully inadequate and increased to $925,965. Sub-Task 1.1.1 Implement Solar Pumped Schemes in Remote Villages Construction of 10 solar schemes in three remote villages in Kilosa and Mvomero LGAs is in progress. In this quarter, designs were completed and received concurrence from the LGAs. Pipes and Fittings were purchased for Nyameni, Ilakala and Maharaka and have been delivered to all sites; all of the pipes passed WARIDI’s third-party quality assurance testing. Cement and rebar for each site has also been purchased and delivery is in progress. An RFQ for ten submersible pumps has been released for tender and is expected to be awarded in Q3. Subcontracts for construction services have been approved and construction will begin in Ilakala and Maharaka in mid-April. Construction for Nyameni will begin in mid- to-late April. A summary of procurement values and VAT exemptions for the quarter is included in table 2. Costs for solar schemes are shown in Table 3 below.

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 26
*WARIDI is currently approximating that 5,000 people will be served due to the isolation of some households. This would be approximately TZS 424,091.84 per person, or $185.19 per person based on a 2,290 exchange rate. WARIDI’s MEL team is currently verifying the number of people served by the schemes and an exact number will be available in the future. Sustainability To ensure sustainability, WARIDI is working closely with LGA District Water Engineers, including village government in community sensitization and providing technical support and mentorship to COWSOs to take over the schemes once the project ends. WARIDI is working with communities to provide in-kind and cash contributions towards their schemes to create a sense of ownership, including in-kind labor for trench digging and backfilling, and materials storage. Table 4 below summarizes cash and in-kind contributions for schemes under planning in the reporting quarter.

COWSOs were formed and trained by Kilosa DC in Nyameni and Ilakala with WARIDI financial support. The COWSOs have representation from each sub-village receiving a scheme (5 in Nyameni and 3 in Ilakala), and sufficient personnel were selected and trained to cover all schemes. The previously formed COWSO for Maharaka scheme was also trained by Mvomero LGA with WARIDI support. WARIDI will continue to work with these COWSOs throughout the project’s duration. Additional technical support will be provided during project implementation on operations and maintenance and finance (tariff setting, revenue collection, budgeting).

Sub-task 1.1.2 Rural Water Supply Construction In this quarter, WARIDI completed construction of two rural water supply schemes, Mwaya and Kiberege, which serve 42,416 people. This completes the construction of the 16 rural water supply schemes that commenced in FY17. Mwaya was commissioned in February and Kiberege will be commissioned in April or May, depending on the availability of LGA officials. Also, in this quarter Hembeti and Melela schemes were commissioned in Mvomero District. Soon after commissioning, Mwaya scheme in Kilombero DC was sabotaged, where all taps were stolen from water points. WARIDI facilitated several community meetings to resolve the issue and get the project functional again. Police were able to identify a suspect in the theft of the taps and the COWSO is currently working to purchase new taps and repair the scheme. The full project completion reports for all 16 schemes are included as Annex 1. The LGA Engagement Team is currently finalizing Lessons Learned reports on these schemes, which will be submitted to USAID in Q3.
Eleven (11) new schemes have been approved for intervention in Gairo, Mufindi, Kilolo, Kilosa and Kilombero DCs. DWEs have received the designs and all of them have received a “no objection” from LGA authorities (See approval letters in Annex 15). All 11 schemes are under procurement; five RFPs for construction services were released in Q2 and the remaining six will be released in April 2019. Image scheme in Kilolo DC was dropped due to the complexity of the intervention and WARIDI’s remaining timeline to finish construction. During this process WARIDI organized site visits for contractors and evaluated more than 50 bids. The status for each scheme is listed in the table 5 below.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 28 A hydrogeological survey was conducted in Mbigiri to locate a site for borehole construction. Borehole drilling is scheduled for Q3.

11 Mbigiri Kilosa April July 2019 July 2020 14,197 $22.90
Total 104,166
Estimated CPB of these schemes are shown on Table 5 with an average cost per beneficiary of approximately $21 USD19. This is $7 more dollars per person than the first 16 schemes, which will affect WARIDI’s ability to meet its targets. This is due to the fact that WARIDI’s realigned construction budget is based on the average cost of the first 16 schemes. Cost per beneficiary is higher for this round of projects because selection criteria prioritizes prior COWSO support under grantees, and LGA priorities, over cost per beneficiary.
Tentative completion dates for the new schemes are projected for Q1-Q3 of FY20. As previously described, this means targets set for FY19 water supply will not be achieved in full this year. In FY19 WARIDI expects to report 103,616 beneficiaries from construction activities (from Q1 and Q2). This will result in 169,331 beneficiaries reported from FY16-FY19 for the project. These beneficiaries are
18 Estimates based on scoping reports
19 Original submission of the Q2 report placed this figure at $24 per person but since then estimated cost per beneficiary for Lukicha had been revised as the population served was later confirmed to be significantly higher during a due diligence visit by the water services technical lead.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 29 from the first 16 schemes. Any additional beneficiaries reported for Indicator 1.1 this fiscal year will be as a result of the COWSO strengthening grants, reported under Task 1.3. Additional scoping took place in Mufindi, Ulanga and Malinyi in this quarter. A list of possible sites that are under consideration for new schemes is included in table 6.
Table 6: Scoping Trips completed in Q2 FY2019 Estimated Per LGA Scheme Name Population Capita Cost20 1 Mufindi IHEFU 4,718 $35.55 2 Mufindi Nyigo 3,538 $36.35 3 Malinyi Ihowanja 7,937 $19.21 4 Malinyi Lupunga 3,464 $29.74 5 Malinyi Ngoheranga 3,905 $28.66 7 Malinyi USAMTI 58,509 $7.58 8 Ulanga Chikuti 7,652 $19.27 9 Ulanga Gombe-Lukande 8,280 $18.58 10 Ulanga Igumbiro 11,275 $16.11 11 Ulanga Isyaga 5,089 $21.68 12 Ulanga Mavimba 8,258 $26.71 13 Ulanga Minepa 6,522 $28.62 14 Ulanga Mwaya Chikwela 8,750 $21.55 15 Ulanga Uponera 5,316 $27.92
The estimated cost per beneficiary for these schemes is approximately $25.38. An additional site was scoped in Malinyi called Njimila, which serves 27,926 people. This scheme was dropped due to ownership conflicts between the COWSO and church that built the scheme. Ten additional sites were scoped in Gairo DC and Morogoro DC. Reports for these schemes will be available in early Q3 for review. This will make a total of 25 sites for WARIDI to choose its remaining projects from. With this, WARIDI plans to cease scoping and move to procurement and construction of its remaining selected schemes. In Q3 the project may scope one additional site in Kilosa for possible intervention in an area where we are intervening in three schools receiving WASH support under our School WASH (SWASH) grant.
Community Engagement and COWSO support for Rural Water Supply Schemes WARIDI’s LGA engagement team will be leading community engagement and COWSO support for each identified intervention. A COWSO support strategy was developed in this quarter which will guide the team in COWSO capacity building including training, technical support, and mentorship. COWSO
20 Cost per capita is based on scoping report estimates.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 30 support will be facilitated by WARIDI in collaboration with LGA officials unlike in the first 16 schemes, where COWSO training and support was the responsibility of subcontractors.
Each community will also be facilitated to sign an MOU detailing roles and responsibilities of all parties, provide cash contributions to ensure buy-in and ownership, and develop work plans to support in-kind contributions, the largest of which is trench digging and back filling. WARIDI will hold monthly meetings in each community to check-in, update plans, and ensure everyone is clear on the intervention’s scope of work and roles of each stakeholder. We believe this will facilitate smooth implementation and limit any delays that may result from miscommunication between the community, subcontractor, the LGA and WARIDI.
WARIDI has begun to collect cash contributions from communities for the new schemes, which will be deposited into the COWSO’s bank account as a start fund when the project is handed over. These contributions will contribute to scheme sustainability by jump-starting the COWSOs’ operations and management funds. It also creates buy-in amongst community members who will take greater ownership in the scheme’s construction and operations and maintenance since they financial contributed towards its completion. For an overview on the status of community cash contributions please see Annex 2.

As agreed during the kick-off meeting held in Q1, IRUWASA submitted four designs to our engineering team for review in March 2019. The design review was completed in March and a meeting will be held between IRUWASA and WARIDI in early April to finalize the designs and move to procurement. Selected schemes and beneficiaries are described in table 7.

Task 1.3 Access to Sustainable MUS through COWSO Strengthening SUB-TASK 1.3.1 Sustainably Improved Services through COWSO Strengthening Grants In this quarter, WARIDI grantees in eight LGAs focused on providing technical support to COWSOs to strengthen their capacity. This includes support to rehabilitate or construct new water points, support to develop financial documents, update water user registries, develop business and facility management plans, calculate and set tariffs, and develop metering plans. A final report of COWSO achievements for each LGA will be completed in Q4 of FY19 after the grants close and will show completed activities, challenges and lessons learned for each LGA.

Technical support to rehabilitate schemes and construct new water points resulted in customers receiving access to improved water services. WARIDI grantees are working to collect MEL data on these beneficiaries, which will be verified in Q3 by WARIDI staff following a verification protocol that follows the Performance Indicator Review Sheets (PIRS) in the revised Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (MELP). Beneficiaries will be officially reported in Q3 after the verification exercise is completed.
Highlights for technical support include: • Rehabilitation and construction of approximately 46 water points in Wanging’ombe DC, 17 water points in Njombe 18 water points in Mufindi, 3 water points in Ulanga, 34 water points in Bagamoyo, 84 water points in Morogoro Rural and 21 Water points in Gairo • Construction of a new intake for Igosi COWSO in Wanging’ombe, a new electrical pump for Tambalang’ombe COWSO in Mufindi, and a rehabilitated intake in Ulanga for Rwamanchili COWSO • Pipeline repairs also fixed systems for approximately 60,000 people in Malinyi DC (based on COWSO population estimates) In Q2, WARIDI worked closely with LGAs to identify water points requiring rehabilitation and supported LGA staff to assess functionality and direct COWSOs on how to rehabilitate points. Many LGAs have used this opportunity to identify water points that require external support for rehabilitation and have followed up to fix them with their PbR funds from the Department for International Development’s (DfID) Payment by Results scheme (PbR). In turn, they will receive additional funding from PbR for increased functionality of water points in their LGAs.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 34 In February 2019, LGAs received notification of their next payments from PbR from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MOWI). Many LGAs expressed gratitude to WARIDI for supporting them to register and update their water point database, which allowed them to access additional funds. WARIDI support to rehabilitate and extend services is also helping the LGAs receive increased payments from the program in the next round. The LGAs in turn have used those funds to support COWSOs under the WARIDI grantees to fix water points, which supports our grantees to strengthen the capacity of the COWSOs. WARIDI’s grants program has supported LGAs to access greater amounts of funding than they could have otherwise secured. The Morogoro Rural District Water Engineer (DWE) put it this way. “Previously, LGAs worked with contractors to install new waterpoints, then handed them over to the community and absolved themselves of all responsibility to make sure they keep working. Around a quarter of new waterpoints stopped working within two years. But due to efforts from WARIDI we have managed to secure enough PbR funds to repair more WPs and to win much more funds in the next round.” In total, WARIDI supported LGAs received 3.2 billion TZS in PbR payments as of February 2019 as summarized in Table 9 below.

Sustainability WARIDI is working closely with the DWEs office to strengthen relationships between the LGA and COWSOs. WARIDI is providing support for water point mapping and repair which will cause a positive
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 35 feedback loop where the LGA obtains PbR funds and is able to use it to make additional repairs to improve services. Strengthening COWSOs has proven to be an important contributor to overall sustainable operations of water schemes and should continue to be supported.

Forty COWSOs were shortlisted for further assessment and Equity Bank was able to complete due
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 36 diligence for six COWSOs to assess their operations and possible risks. Equity Bank was positive that the COWSOs could be candidates for loans following some financial education and 6-months of financial documentation. WARIDI will continue to support Equity Bank to identify potential COWSOs that are interested in accessing loans but will not become directly involved in the banks processes’ so that these transactions remain business oriented. WARIDI’s capacity building to COWSOs has supported credit worthiness and prepared them to access to financing from Equity Bank and other financial institutions which will support sustainable operations in the long-term.

Task 1.4 Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion SUB-TASK 1.4.1 Promote Household Sanitation and Hygiene In quarter 2 the sanitation team continued its close monitoring and follow-up to the nine grantees implementing sanitation grants. Training sessions on the ODF verification guide were completed in eight LGAs (Wanging’ombe, Gairo, Bagamoyo, Mufindi, Ulanga, Chalinze, Morogoro DC and Malinyi). WARIDI supported external verification assessments in 152 communities, results of which are shown in table 10.

8 LGAs 142 16 95 6 17 *Villages that fail ODF verification either have households that do not have latrines or share latrines, or have signs of open defecation.
LGA coordination under DHO leadership determines the success of reaching ODF status in villages. This coordination starts at the beginning by preparing a joint implementation plan where the LGA sets its own targets, which include WARIDI’s contribution. For example, Wanging’ombe set a target of 20 more villages apart from the 30 villages that WARIDI targeted, which necessitated a joint strategy to attain this goal with available resources. On the other hand, Gairo DC has been a difficult partner in achieving joint coordination on the project. Significant time and resources are spent in discussion with the Gairo DC CLTS team on how to handle field work and attain expected results on time. The WARIDI team has engaged the regional office and higher-level LGA officials (DMO, DED) so that the DHO and CLTS team abide by signed agreements with WARIDI. That said, success may be more difficult in this LGA than others.
WARIDI obtained approval from USAID to extend the ODF grants in Q2 for six months each, covering two additional milestones. Grants were extended so that WARIDI can achieve its target for indicator 1.2, access to basic sanitation which is set at an ambitious 750,000 people. This will also affect WARIDI’s other sanitation indicators (ODF verification and handwashing), causing WARIDI to overachieve some targets that are set at only half of 1.2 or less. ODF Verification will continue in Q3.
The grantees have continued to facilitate sanitation data collection for NSMIS and report progress to WARIDI. Grantees have involved key sanitation actors at all administrative levels to support villages to become ODF through advocacy and sensitization. This includes facilitating availability of existing tools used by National Sanitation Campaign (NSC) like Household registers (Form A-1), Form A-2, Form Vl- VlO, Toolkit lA-lC (for baseline, quarterly updates and processing, verification and certification both in community and institutions), and providing capacity building on data collection at the community and ward levels. During data collection, community health officers and village leaders are also instructed to enforce sanitation by-laws and deliver behaviour change messages. Grantees conduct triggering sessions with local government, amongst institutions and with communities through the Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach and hold monthly follow-ups to selected villages to push them towards ODF status. This has resulted in households building increased numbers of improved latrines to avoid penalties by their village government. Usually a list of defaulters is shared to VEO during the follow-up visits for action. Villages have also spread news about their achievements to nearby villages which has affected positive change. Sanitation progress by LGA is listed in table 11.

Sustainability Sustainability is built into WARIDI’s approach to supporting sanitation. The program does this by supporting the already existing National Sanitation Campaign run by the Government of Tanzania, putting the approach and tools into practice across its intervention LGAs. In this quarter, the annual joint monitoring and review sessions gave yet another opportunity for high-level stakeholders involved in the campaign to discuss successes, challenges and how to move forward over the next six months with WARIDI interventions. This level of buy-in will support sustainability of the sanitation work post- project.

SUB-TASK 1.4.2 Support Institutional Sanitation and Hygiene In Q2 of FY19 WARIDI awarded five follow-on grants in its first five LGAs (Kilosa, Mvomero, Kilombero, Kilolo and Iringa DC) with a school WASH component. The grants will complete school WASH activities in 25 communities that achieved universal sanitation under the first grants (Oct 2017- Oct 2018) but were unable to achieve ODF Level I or II certification because they lacked improved sanitation facilities in government run schools. Each of the selected communities has one school that requires construction support to meet ODF certification requirements. A list of selected schools is below.

In Q2 WARIDI hired a School WASH Engineer, who started in February 2019. Upon joining WARIDI he began a technical assessment and cost analysis of the selected schools. This report and its recommendations will be finalized early in Q3 and the schools moved into procurement for construction services and materials. Given the delay in hiring the School WASH Engineer, the construction may not be completed before the grants are finalized in December 2019. This will require
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 42 WARIDI to manage certification directly once construction is complete and hire an artist to paint murals on the schools. Currently mural painting is included in each grant.
Each awarded grant will also provide continued support to the National Sanitation Campaign, through data collection support, close follow-up in 40 villages to obtain universal coverage and delivering behaviour change messages and enforcing by-laws so that access to basic sanitation increases in each LGA by at least 30% over baseline. Grants began on March 1st and will last for nine months ending on December 31, 2019.
Grantees were able to collect baseline data LGA-wide during their first milestone of the grant, as shown in tables 14 and 15 and overall change shown in figures 1 and 2.

SUB-TASK 1.4.3 Implement National Behavioral Change Communications Campaign In this quarter, WARIDI grantees delivered BCC messages through community sensitization meetings and local media. WARIDI provided grantees with materials from the national campaign to deliver BCC messages in their respective working areas. To date, materials from the national campaign are minimal and focused on videos which are not applicable in the rural context where our grantees work. The grantees have also been linked with WARIDI roadshows and microenterprise training for MEs to increase the availability of sanitation products. In February, WARIDI hosted a joint monitoring visit with ministry officials from PO-RALG, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and LGA officials in Bagamoyo, Malinyi and Wanging’ombe. After the visit, the participants came together for a review workshop in Mikumi. The joint visit and review session focused on sanitation and hygiene data quality in registers, data validation, and physical verification, monitoring participation of community health workers, village leaders and ward leaders, and observing the current sanitation and hygiene progress in each LGA.

Task 2.1: Strengthen Management Capacity of BWBs, Catchment, Sub catchment Committees and Water Users Associations Sub-Task 2.1.1: Strengthen Management Capacity of Basin Water Boards In Q2 WARIDI implemented the planned capacity building session and abstraction surveys. Towards the end of January 2019, Rufiji Basin’s ten (10) newly elected board members were trained on their roles, responsibilities and leadership in IWRM. In February, WARIDI project supported the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board to carry-out ground water abstraction points survey in Chamazi ward, Temeke Municipal which is in Kizinga River Catchment. The abstraction survey in Chamazi followed a request from the Basin Water Board to address the high concentration of unregistered and un-regulated drilling and use of Boreholes as demonstrated by the Shahidi Wa Maji survey. The following information were collected during surveys; • Location/coordinates of every visited boreholes • Uses of the boreholes, i.e., domestic, business • Borehole depth and water quality report • Basic information, i.e., Borehole owner’s name, phone contacts The exercise reached 779 unregistered boreholes. See Annex 3. During the abstraction surveys users were informed on the official procedures in place for drilling boreholes, requesting permits, water quality observation needs and the 21-day notice period to initiate the process of acquiring water use permits. Similarly, in March WARIDI supported the Rufiji Basin Water Board to carry-out ground water abstraction points survey in Mafinga. The survey reached 128 boreholes, whereby all owners were informed of the official procedures in place regarding drilling boreholes, permits, water quality observation needs and 21-day notice period. See Annex 4. The abstraction survey activities resulted in a significant improvement in registration of boreholes and has raised awareness among borehole owners and Street/Village Council and Ward Leaders of the National Water Policy and the Tanzania Water Resources Management Act No. 11 of 2009 which grants Basin Water Boards with the authority to issue water use permits. The Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board received more than 100 applications for Water Use Permit from Chamazi Ward and neighbouring wards. Normally the basin would have received 12 applications from one ward in a full year entire year. This higher application rate is a direct result of the abstraction survey activities
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 47 including working with communities to sensitize them on the process for submitting applications for drilling permits and water use permits. Sustainability The abstraction survey is one of the important tasks for the basins to be able to implement smooth annual water fees’ collection from identified water users. The activity improves permitting and revenue collection by the BWBs as demonstrated above with over 100 applications for Water Use Permits from Chamazi Ward after WARIDI’s support for the abstraction survey. It also influences behavior change with water users becoming more aware of the requirement to apply for permits and pay for water use. This activity needs to be included in the basin yearly plan and WUAs and local government authorities incentivized to report new water users. The strong linkage between basins and LGAs can promote information sharing on potential water users in their localities. Basin Support Specialists are working closely with the Basin Water Officers to help set aside budgets to continue this work due to its success.

This has been delayed with the delay in filling the IWRM Advisor position which WARIDI has agreed not to fill as per USAID’s guidance. As of this writing, WARIDI has identified STTA to assist with development of Capacity Development Plan for WUAs and this work will begin immediately in Q3.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 48 Sustainability WUAs are the most basic institutions responsible for water resources management in Tanzania, usually established as a response to demands to resolve conflicts related to water resources management, regulations enforcement and overall local-level water management. Strengthening their institutional capacity is critical to ensure availability of water for socio-economic development and environmental sustainability through improved governance. Upon completion of capacity building activities to the 10 WUAs, 5 in each basin, the two basins will be better placed to sustainably perform their core activities and expand support to other WUAs.

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 49 Sub-Task 2.1.3: Enhance Stakeholder Awareness, Consultation, Involvement, and Participation in IWRM Activities In March WARIDI supported the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board to conduct a two-day workshop with different media houses in Bagamoyo. The objective was to engage media in awareness of and reporting on Integrated Water Resources Management in Tanzania. The activity was conducted as a way of implementing the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board (WRBWB) communication strategy which is being supported by WARIDI. A total of 36 Journalists from 23 media houses attended. See Annex 5. The workshop laid the foundation to increase visibility of the basin’s core activities and mandate, enhancing media stakeholders’ participation in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) related matters. Journalists had the opportunity to get an overview of core functions of the WRBWB as well better understanding of the Tanzania Water Resources Management Act No. 11 of 2009 and respective regulations. Journalists learned about Tanzania Water Sector Reforms, the Institutional Framework for Water Resources Management (WRM), participated in a field visit to the DAWASA Lower Ruvu Intake where they learned how the upstream human activities, especially farming, impact Water Resources Management. Following the workshop, several news stories on water resources were published by the media. A few of the covered stories are accessed through links: • https://www.ippmedia.com/en/michezo/tanzania-risks%20water-stress-%C2%A0-2025 • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSbyV_VfxI • https://fullshangweblog.com/home/2019/03/27/utunzaji-wa-vyanzo-vya-maji-hulinda-taifa/ • https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=1548860185248815&story_fbid=1558228434311990 • https://www.mwananchi.co.tz/habari/Kitaifa/Tahadhari-ya-upungufu-wa-maji-yatolewa-/1597296- 5041914-fqvhnk/index.html • http://presstz.net/bodi-ya-bonde-la-wami-ruvu-vyanzo-maji-visimamiwe-kwa-vizazi-vya-sasa-na- vijavyo-48218585 • https://twitter.com/wamiruvu • https://www.ippmedia.com/sw/habari/vyanzo-vya-maji-vilindwe-kukabiliana-na-upungufu-wa-maji
Effective communication for stakeholder participation is e proven reliable way of enhancing engagement of different stakeholder’s in water resources management. Through supporting implementation of various activities stated in Wami/Ruvu and Rufiji Basin Water Boards Communication Strategies, WARIDI will facilitate the BWBs in implementing their IWRMD Plans. Building on this momentum, WARIDI will support the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Board plan to convene a Multi-Stakeholder Forum in Q3. Upon receiving the scheduled dates WARIDI will also support convening Rufiji’s Multi Stakeholder Forum in Q3. Sustainability Effective communications and sharing of information related to water resources management is critical to the management role of the BWBs. After the above-mentioned workshop, the BWB took several important actions to build on effective communications, including: • Appointment of a focal person responsible for communications with Media • A three-month work plan to identify themes for journalists to develop stories on different topics from the workshop. Radio interviews will also be conducted. • All coverage materials from the workshop and field trip have been secured by the Board and such materials are being shared via the Basin Social networks (Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp). • A WhatsApp group has been formed by the Basin as a forum to discuss water resources management with journalists and raise the Basin’s profile in water resources management.

WARIDI experts supported both BWB Offices to continue improvement of the rating curves; support data quality control, validation, and management. Between January and February 2019, WARIDI through W4L experts worked with Wami/Ruvu and Rufiji Basin Water Boards Basin technical staff and achieved the following; 1. Development of draft data structure improvement as part of the Information Management System (IMS) work plan for the remaining period of the WARIDI project. The main purpose of each of the hydrological monitoring station has been defined and will be flagged in Aquarius taking into consideration needs for decision making on IWRM, water permits, domestic supply, irrigation, hydropower, and environmental flows and the priority stations in each basin. 2. All historic river water level data have been migrated into Aquarius from the HYDATA archive and Excel sheets. The quality control and validation of this data have been initiated. 3. All historic HYDATA rating curves have been archived in Aquarius, and most rating curves have been redeveloped with the Aquarius Rating Tool. The number of curves redeveloped is over 36 that were identified for this mission. 4. A group of 8 hydrographers from the Rufiji basin participated in this intensive hands-on training program; also 8 hydrographers from the Wami-Ruvu basin participated in the training but most had no previous knowledge of Aquarius. Hence, the group of proficient Aquarius users at the Wami- Ruvu numbers only two or three.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 51 The quality control exercise exposed many data issues that require verification with original paper records in the field offices, or through a select number of field visits. The quality of the historic water level data will gradually improve as data issues are progressively verified and corrected. Both BWBOs have no adequate data backup systems. Servers need ongoing maintenance and administration. Recommendations were made by W4L experts to purchase of IT infrastructure for effective data backup and for reliability of power supply, and to establish services for server maintenance. See Annexes 6 and 7 for more on W4L support during Q2. This quarter witnessed the completion of the procurement of the majority of the hydrometeorological equipment via WARIDI grants to the Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu BWBOs, and official handover of this equipment by USAID to the two BWBOs. In Q3, W4L experts will continue supporting both BWBOs IMS groups in the validation of surface water time-series data into AQUARIUS and ensure that original field measurement files, photos, videos, etc., are migrated into AQUARIUS. A field training program for the two BWBs staff on High Flow measurements using the newly procured Acoustic Doppler Profilers (ADCPs) via WARIDI hydromet equipment grant will be organized in May. WARIDI will also support the two Basin Water Boards to deploy low-cost hydroclimate stations to local partners and to initiate inclusion of Earth Observations in BWB Offices data streams. During March of Q2 staff from the SERVIR East and Southern Africa (SERVIR E&SA) program traveled to Morogoro to discuss WARIDI’s planned climate change and natural resources management decision making activities. SERVIR E&SA has been an important partner in past quarters and identified several areas of support that can fill gaps in information on precipitation and temperature needed by BWB and LGA decision makers. WARIDI will continue to work with SERVIR E&SA to jointly plan activities where complementarity exists. Sustainability The establishment of community partnership in hydromet monitoring areas guarantee safety of monitoring stations and being free from vandalism. Engagement of Citizen in science like the low-cost monitoring stations reduce the operations and maintenance costs to the BWBs when compared with the traditional hydromet stations. Also, the trainings on troubleshooting and proper use of the provided hydromet equipment together with proper maintenance plan will promote sustainability of provided equipment. With this in mind, BWBs need to get access to additional government funds to support basin activities. Basin support specialists will continue to encourage the basins to access public finance.

Task 2.3 Facilitate Adoption of Integrated Water and Land Management Planning Approaches During this quarter the grantees continued with implementation of the project in line with year two work plan for this project. Key activities implemented are discussed below: a) Farmer training on climate-smart small-scale agriculture including agroforestry using farmer field school approach and value addition strategies. A total of 135 participants (66 women) from 13 FFS were trained on step 7 and 8 of the training series whereby step 7 involves theory and practical trainings on Conservation Agriculture - weeding and crop protection and step 8 involves theory and practical trainings on Conservation Agriculture - harvesting, storage, processing and marketing. b) Training to community members to establish and operate VSLAs. This activity focused on training 17 village communities on VSLA and establishing 9 functioning groups. This was completed in17 villages and was facilitated by the experience trainer from Ruvu Credit and Development Organization. Trainees included Community Development Officers, Ward Executive Officers, Councilors from both Kilolo DC, Mufindi DC in Iringa and Kilombero DC in Morogoro. Others included VEOs, representatives from the VNRC, Village Land Use Management, Women youth, Men youth, religious leaders, Men and women elders, political part representatives, members of Field Farm School and Water User Association (WUA). As part of this process Village Council and assembly meetings were also held to discuss and agree on modalities for running the VSLAs including benefits, challenges and criteria for selecting members for VSLAs with diverse gender involvement. Following these meetings, a total of nine (9) VSLA groups were formed with one VSLA for each village composed of 30 members (50% women) c) Baseline and end line household surveys with a focus on climate change resilience and adaptation. During the quarter, a baseline household survey was conducted in 13 villages, involving some 352 household which were randomly selected and interviewed using a predesigned questionnaire. The collected data were being analyzed at the time of writing this report and will be reported in the next quarterly report. SUB-TASK 2.3.1: Develop and implement payment for environmental services (PES) schemes and land use management strategies in selected villages of Mngeta sub-catchment Following a notification email from Kilembero Plantation Limited (KPL) in December 2018 regarding potential closure of business, KPL officially closed on January 31st, 2019. KPL’s role as a buyer of environmental services from communities jeopardized the overall PES particularly given the PES agreement was signed by all the participating villages in December 2018. WARIDI has conducted several follow up discussions with Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) to explore options to safeguards the interests of both WARIDI and the village communities. As part of this effort, a meeting joint meeting that was held on February 15th at WARIDI agreed on the following key action items as part of the solution to the challenge: 1) TFCG will analyze its finances to identify potential savings that may be available to fund the PES component for at least one year one while the grantee is looking for alternative sources of funding for year 2 and 3; 2) TFCG will consult other potential donors/buyers (including GoT – Stiegler’s Gorge project, Kilolo and Kilombero LGAs) and submit feedback to WARIDI regarding possibilities for funding the PES Scheme; 3) TFCG and WARIDI will plan a visit to Kilolo and Kilombero to inform the LGAs about this development. WARIDI will continue to work with
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 54 TFCG and the communities to possibly revive this project. Without a buyer of the environmental services, this activity is unlikely to be sustainable. Sustainability The process for establishing the PES had been approached in participatory manner whereby villagers understood the concepted and consented for development. Without a sustainable source of financing following the closer of KPL, a new buyer of the environmental services is needed. The project and the grantee will continue to work on this in the coming quarters by exploring sustainable sources of funding such as the government of Tanzania to discuss possible establishment of a PES fund given the contribution of Mngeta catchment to the Stieglers Gorge/Rufiji hydropower plant.

This involved preparation of SOW for the STTA for this task as well as the conducting desk review to determine what has already been done or is in the pipeline in relation to this assignment in order to determine possible synergies and avoid duplications. While the SOW was successfully completed, the desk review revealed two on-going initiatives that are closely related in scope and objectives to the WARIDI planned intervention. WARIDI held a stakeholders meeting in Q2 with Future Climate for Africa (FCFA), led by the London School of Economics and Sokoine University of Agriculture in the Rufiji basin, Freshwater Resilience by Design (FWRBD) led by the Hydrosystems Research Group of the University of Massachusetts with financial support from World Bank which are implemented in both basins of Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu basins. The BWBs and WARIDI subcontractor W4L discussed with these partners the overlap in technical support WARIDI was to provide with these projects. FCFA produced in 2017 a brief on climate scenarios for Tanzania and more recently developed a hydrological model of the Rufiji basin that uses modifications to a global hydrological model based on available flow data from the Rufiji Basin Water Office to calibrate and validate the model. Running the model with climate scenarios the FCFA initiative is able to produce catchment by catchment results on
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 55 climate impacts at the monthly timescale out to the 2050s with particular focus on seasonal level. All these aspects have a primary goal of assisting the basin with better planning and decision-making for WRM and overlap with the projections WARIDI anticipated developing with the BWBs. The FWRBD initiative similarly offers complementary interventions in support of better planning an decision-making. The initiative’s goal is to evaluate investment scenarios (different combinations of infrastructure investments and management options) to identify water resources management solutions which are robust and resilient to future conditions and uncertainties. As part of this, the FWRBD is currently finalizing the water balance assessment, which will be a baseline accounting of water availability and use in Wami-Ruvu basin. This baseline is to be used in conjunction with the IWRMD plans to carry out the investment prioritization analysis. This analysis evaluates all CMIP5 climate projections for Tanzania and utilizes ranges of expected changes firstly to estimate how the Wami-Ruvu system responds by testing what would happen when temperature increases by 0-7 deg C, and if precipitation changes-say by -30 to + 30%. These ranges then provide opportunities to evaluate which climate future conditions will be problematic for management of water in the basin. In both basins, the analysis focuses on evaluation of monthly timestep analyses. Following the stakeholders meeting, WARIDI will discuss with the BWBs actual gaps (i.e. key questions) have not been/will not be addressed by the two initiatives mentioned above. This will take place in Q3. Subtask 2.4.1: Conduct Climate Change Projection for Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu Basin to enhance planning and Decision Sustainability Training BWB staff on how to use the various tools and equipment to collect and analyze hydro- climatological data will ensure that BWB are able to process (i.e. calibrate and update) maps and other products as frequent as necessary to inform planning and decision-making. The Core Development Team (CDT) approach used by WARIDI ensures BWB staff and others are part of the development process.

As part of dissemination, both the climate study technical reports and vulnerability maps produced for LGAs and Basin were shared with the consultant for the Rufiji Hydropower Project (a.k.a. Stieglers Gorge Project) at Sokoine University of Agriculture who requested these materials to inform their Strategic Environmental Assessment Study which was commissioned by the Ministry of Energy through Tanzania National Electrical Supply Company (TANESCO). Development of fact sheets for LGAs and BWBs was not completed during Q2 due to difficulties in getting all the relevant data (especially socio-economic data) for LGAs. However, the developed maps as noted above, form an important step and are important inputs in finalization of the fact sheets. Sustainability Supportive field visits to project partners is practical way of ensuring project partners (BWB and LGAs) localize/domesticate approaches and strategies for analysis and processing of climate change data/information based on their own needs. Through a one-on-one consultation/discussion with these partners, all bottlenecks are identified and addressed through both discussions and practical sessions in partners’ offices using their own computers and other analytical tools.

Following finalization of the SOW, WARIDI recruited a a qualified STTA for the assignment. The STTA is expected to advance the task more in the subsequent quarters in line with the workplan. Sustainability This activity seeks to assist three hotspot villages with development of village land use plans and securing CCROs for their individual plots of land. Having the two items in place (i.e. land use plan and CCRO) is a critical step in addressing misuse of natural resources (i.e. land, forests and water resources) as well as addressing associated societal conflicts that are increasingly becoming norm in these areas following population growth and climate change threats. Therefore, these two tools will help to ensure sustainable use and protection of such scarce but crucial resources for their survival. Additionally, development of these tools will be done collaboratively with the National Land Use Commission and Local Government Authorities including the village governments and individual community members in selected villages.

Task 3.1 Strategic Partnerships In Q2 WARIDI continued with implementation of its six strategic partnerships as summarized in the table below. Sub Task 3.1.1 Strategic Partnership Implementation and Scale The WARIDI Partnerships team accomplished the following: • Conducted a midterm review for the eWATERpay pilot in Mvumi and Msowero COWSOs, whereby information was collected from COWSO leaders and water users through Focus Group Discussions. The midterm review collected COWSO and user feedback on performance of the eWATERpay meters, system, and pilot implementation to date, to allow for any needed trouble shooting. Baseline report was completed in Q2. See Annex 8. The midterm review collected input from Mvumi and Msowero COWSOs officials and 83 community members in Mvumi and Msowero COWSOs and will be reported in Q3. According to preliminary findings, the technology increased water revenue especially at Msowero COWSO from an average of TZS2.9m/= per month to over TZS4m/= a month. Installation of the eWATERpay system resulted in a 38% increase in profits in Msowero and a 22% reduction of losses in Mvumi. Further, hours of access to water increased in both COWSOs from 8-10 hours per day between the hours of 7am to 7pm before the pilot to 24- hours with the eWATERpay system. On the other hand, COWSOs reported continuous flow of water at some DPs (at an average of 2 taps per month) resulting in water losses. EWATERpay are aware of this problem and actively seeking a solution. Lastly, the performance of the eWATERpay system at Mvumi COWSO was reported to be adversely affected by water rationing due to low water flows in the COWSO’s water system. • Finalized the baseline survey report for eWATERpay pilots conducted in Q1 at Mvumi and Msowero. The baseline study found that water users at Mvumi were not happy with water availability at their DPs due to insufficient water supply caused by low pump capacity and leakage in some storage water tanks. In both COWSOs, water users reported poor customer care from DP attendants. Despite Msowero COWSO having a new water scheme, the study found that some community members still drink unsafe water from the nearby river and hence more community awareness creation is required on the health risk of drinking unsafe water. • Continued with final preparations in advance of launching the Medentech water treatment pilot. The pilot will be launched in Mvumi COWSO in early Q3. With support of the IR 1 team, the Partnerships Team developed a COWSO survey report focused on shortlisting 24 COWSOs for financing. The WARIDI team conducted a survey in Q1 of Y4 with 40 high performing COWSOs, focused on financing need, interest, and credit worthiness. The survey yielded a shortlist of 24 COWSOs which was shared with Water.org financing partner Equity Bank for further review. Equity Bank held meetings with shortlisted COWSOs in Q2 to prepare for financing. The following table presents the strategic partnerships advanced during the quarter.

Resonance will discuss with WARIDI leadership and Viamo to determine the best way forward.
Sustainability In order to ensure sustainability of partnership interventions, WARIDI is undertaking the following activities:
• Share the pilot results (eWATERpay and Medentech) with potential partners and stakeholders to provide evidence of the pilots’ impact and encourage buy-in and support for scale-up where the pilots are found to be impactful. Both companies – eWATERpay and Medentech – have a strong interest in using these pilot partnerships as a launch point for further scale and long-term engagement with COWSOs in Tanzania. Water.org may be able to support access to finance for these initiatives to scale, where needed. • LIXIL will continue to build a marketing and sales presence for SATO products in Tanzania, building on WARIDI-supported activities. • Water.org and partner finance institutions (particularly Equity Bank) are looking to develop longer term pathways and loan products for financing COWSOs in Tanzania. The WARIDI partnership is helping to launch these activities and we expect continued engagement and scale from partners (even after the WARIDI project ends).

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 64 Sub Task 3.1.2 Engage Companies for WASH Product Distribution Expedited partnerships with WASH vendors/companies for the WARIDI WASH Road Shows In Q2 WARIDI finalized engagement of additional road show vendors. Currently, WARIDI has signed partnership agreements with eleven companies as summarized in table 17 below, with two new agreements signed in Q2. Table 17: Expedited Partnerships Company Product Signed Agreements Anuflo Industries Feminine hygiene products and general hygiene products; Menstrual cups DayOne Response Water turbidity filters Gongali Model Limited Water filters – remove water contaminants including heavy metals Kasole Secrets Feminine hygiene products; Glory pads KickStart International Irrigation pumps LIXIL SATO latrine pans MSABI Ceramic water filters Nazava Ceramic water filters SON Biosand water filters Proactive Solar Pump Company Mobile solar pump and power generator Anglican Church Social Services Micro-drip irrigation kits
The WARIDI Road Show continued in Q2 in 10 LGAs at Morogoro and Iringa regions. Ten road show partners were represented. Although many road show attendees have expressed interest in MSABI’s Tembo water filter, and despite much follow-up, MSABI has not provided a supply of filters and has been generally unresponsive. Therefore, WARIDI is considering disengaging MSABI. The road show, to date, has held 39 events in 39 wards, exposing an estimated total of 15,398 people to key WASH messages and a range of WASH products. A total of 2,552 glory pads (Kasole Secrets), 350 LIXIL SATO toilets, nine menstrual cups (Anuflo Industries), One Tembo filter (MSABI), two Nazava filters, two SON filters, and one money-maker pump (KickStart International) were sold in Q1 and Q2 as part of the WARIDI road show. See Annex 9. Sustainability In order to ensure sustainability, WARIDI has started working with road show partners to establish/strengthen sustainable product supply chains from the manufacturer to the consumer. As part of this, WARIDI is encouraging partners to enter written agreements with local microenterprise retailers and/or local products suppliers. As one of our sustainability strategies, WARIDI verified and
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 65 was satisfied that the selected companies would provide genuine products to consumers. Before the companies were engaged we did due diligence (DD) which covered public reputation of products, environmental compliance, cost and quality of the product which included certification from relevant government institutions like TBS/TFDA. Further to this, the DD exercise examined potential risks to WARIDI/USAID. The companies which failed to meet these standards were not included in WARIDI activities. WARIDI will also engage the new full time Enterprise and Partnerships Specialist as well as local consultants in Q3 and Q4 to conduct additional networking and research to uncover any additional, locally available WASH products that WARIDI might promote via the WARIDI microenterprise network.

Task 3.2 WASH Microenterprise Capacity Building Program Sub-Task 3.2.1 Microenterprise Selection and Training for 10 New LGAs In Q2 WARIDI commenced capacity building for microenterprises for 10 additional LGAs after a recruitment survey that identified 292 MEs for the second round of the training program, covering Ifakara TC, Malinyi DC, Gairo DC and Morogoro MC in Morogoro region; Mbarali in Mbeya region; Wanging’ombe DC, Njombe DC and Njombe TC in Njombe region; and Bagamoyo DC and Chalinze DC in Pwani region. The following activities took place in Q2: Review Training Design: Before the launch of the second round of training in 10 new LGAs, WARIDI reviewed the training design to refine and streamline the training program, as well as to maximize WASH impact to incorporate feedback from MEs trained in Round 1 and feedback from the WARIDI
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 66 team and relevant partners. Reviewers included: the Gender Integration and Youth Inclusion (GIYI) team, IR 1 (water and sanitation) team, institution support (COWSO) team and private sector team, strategic Partners - ENGINE team (a USAID project supporting businesses with BDS and access to finance) and Water.org (providing COWSO and MEs financing options). As part of MEs training design review and training preparations, WARIDI conducted a 1-day Microenterprise Training Review Meeting in Morogoro in February. Three trainers participated together with WARIDI team and reviewed the detailed agendas and training materials for all modules to get ready for upcoming training activities in the second round of 10 LGAs. As a result of this meeting and the review process described above, the training approach was revised with a greater focus on linking MEs with WASH products suppliers, potentially through dealership agreements from the start of the training program. Training Delivery: WASH microenterprise capacity building activities started in February 2019 with a focus on three training modules: (1) marketing and sales techniques and development of WASH sales and marketing plans, (2) bookkeeping, basic accounting and financing options, and (3) business plan development. In Q2, the WARIDI Enterprise Development Specialist – with the support of a team of three local BDS expert trainers/consultants – delivered a total of 10 trainings across 10 districts/ LGAs of Morogoro, Njombe, Pwani and Mbeya regions for Module 1. A total of 286 microenterprises across 10 districts participated in the 10 Module 1 trainings covering Ifakara TC, Malinyi DC, Gairo DC and Morogoro MC in Morogoro region; Mbarali in Mbeya region; Wanging’ombe DC, Njombe DC and Njombe TC in Njombe region; and Bagamoyo DC and Chalinze DC in Pwani region.

Linking microenterprises to new WASH products suppliers: To support sustainable commercial markets for WASH products and services in rural Tanzania, WARIDI invited WASH companies to present their products to the participating microenterprises during trainings to encourage possible linkages, WASH product distribution and sales. Three WASH products suppliers presented products during Q2 trainings including (i) LIXIL – WARIDI partner and producer and sellers of the SATO improved latrine pans, (ii) Kasole Secret – producer and seller of feminine hygiene products (glory pads), and (iii) Anuflo Industries – producer and seller of feminine hygiene products (hedhi cups). A total of 102 Lixil’s latrine pans, 852 glory pads and 30 hedhi cups were supplied to MEs through WARIDI for trial sales in their communities. Linking MEs with Additional BDS and Finance: ENGINE – a USAID project, participated in eight ME trainings and presented ENGINE project activities and potential benefits to MEs for additional (subsidized) BDS, access to finance, and the use of ENGINE’s online platform, BIZFUNDI, to access ENGINE services. This partnership is expected to create sustainable support and relationships between BDS providers and MEs even in the absence of WARIDI. Due to the demand of the participants, WARIDI invited CRDB bank to participate in the Ifakara TC training, in which CRDB presented its financial products and services, including how to easily access business loans. Sub-Task 3.2.2 Microenterprises Mentorship Program & Follow Up Monitoring The planned activities to provide on-site microenterprise mentorship for the selected 80 trained microenterprises (MEs) from the first 10 districts/LGAs was not completed in Q2. ME mentorship activities will commence in Q4 after completion of all MEs Round 2 trainings in June 2019. A summary of partners and enterprises is included as table 19 at the end this section. Sustainability The MEs mentorship activities will take the following measures to ensure the sustainability of WASH product distribution throughout Q3 & Q4 and beyond:
• Link MEs with WASH products suppliers and expand WASH products and sales – to help build an effective distribution model. A key aspect of this will be to have at least one WASH product distributor in each district and many retailers with formal agreements with WASH product suppliers. • Offer supportive BDS, including: – Business plan development, accounting system and marketing plan development – Access to finance, depending on needs and readiness (supported by Water.org and USAID ENGINE project)

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 70 Task 3.3 Increase alternative livelihood opportunities Sub-task 3.3.1 Promote Opportunities for Livelihoods in WASH Sector. WASH and livelihoods Product Demonstrations and Road Shows in 20 LGAs: In Q2, WARIDI and subcontractor (EXP) continued to implement the roadshow in three centres per each LGA. for this reported period the roadshow has reached 30 centres in 10 LGAs. In Morogoro (Morogoro MC, Morogoro, Ifakara T.C, Kilombero, Ulanga and Malinyi DCs. In Iringa (Iringa MC, Iringa DC, Mafinga and Kilolo). The progress to date has been 39 demonstration centres have been reached with product demonstrations and roadshow in 13 LGAs. A total of 15,398 people were reached through women’s forums, entrepreneurship forums and roadshow public audiences. During the roadshow event total of 2,915 sales of the promoted products were made. (Menstrual hygiene, Glory pads/ Hedhi cups), SATO latrine pans and Money maker water pump and water filters have been sold. 152 micro enterprise, some from WARIDI trained MEs and others who have shown interest from the roadshow locations, have been identified and connected with major product suppliers for distribution of WASH products. WARIDI will continue to coordinate, supervise and monitor the implementation of the roadshow in Q3. Identify and promote locally existing and new sanitation products. In Q2 the livelihoods team conducted a detail assessment of interested individuals and groups on establishing market opportunities, identify technical and skill gaps to tailor training to improve their products, meet the community demand and extend sanitation coverage through handwashing facilities. The assessment was completed in seven (7) LGAs (Gairo, Mvomero, Kilosa, Kilombero, Mufindi, Kilolo and Iringa DC). 260 local entrepreneurs were reached and interviewed (63 male and 197 female). Findings included identification for market opportunities for locally produced soap and detergents with youth and women showing a high interest in sanitation and detergent making business opportunities. There is opportunity for LGAs to provide financial support through youth and women’s development funds where WARIDI could offer technical and business skills training. However, detergent entrepreneurs lack necessary business skills including marketing strategies, record keeping, pricing and leadership knowledge. WARIDI plans to design and deliver demand driven technical and business skills to fill these gaps. Women primarily engaged in production and selling of antiseptic and detergents which requires them to move from one place to another to look for costumers. Women are facing harassment from men which adversely impacts their desire to be entrepreneurs. WARIDI will be working with these women to improve their products to meet the community demand and extend sanitation coverage through handwashing facilities in WARIDI operated areas. Sustainability WARIDI will facilitate establishing of sustainable distribution network of WASH products through fostering agreements between WASH suppliers and local distributors. WARIDI will link local sanitation and detergent entrepreneurs with existing sanitation and hygiene market actors for capacity building and support, these include networks and business chamber of commerce and Industries. Also, leveraging partnership with soft microfinance service providers and government institutions such as LGAs-Women and Youth Development Fund and Small Industry Development Organization (SIDO).

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 72 Sub-task 3.3.2 Promote Opportunities for Agricultural Livelihoods Activities MUS Agricultural Livelihoods Assessment In Q2 the livelihoods team and support from technical advisors carried out livelihoods assessments in new water scheme scoped under IR1 in Gairo, Kilosa, Mvomero, Kilombero, Mufindi, Kilolo and Iringa DCs. The assessments identified promising existing MUS agricultural opportunities and the gaps where WARIDI could support to increase women and youth gain access to productive economic resources and facilitate farmers to adapt practices and/or improved management practices. 16 villages were assessed and meetings were held with 320 farmers (178 male and 142 female) and 32 community leaders through interviews and focus group discussions. The preliminary findings of the assessment revealed that there is huge potential for improvement of the livelihoods of the smallholder farmers by better utilizing livelihood assets (human, natural, physical, social and financial capital) and developing business opportunities. Despite these significant and diverse opportunities, there are constraints that adversely affect the livelihood systems. The identified constraints included low literacy levels among communities, food and nutrition insecurity, gender imbalance in decision making on economically productive roles at the household level, low level of extension services that affect farmers’ innovation and technology adoption, high community vulnerability caused by effects of climate change and market shocks, non- sustainable rural financial services (loans and credit), high production costs, and lack of business skills among farmers. These constraints primarily affect crop cultivation, animal husbandry, horticulture, markets, knowledge and skills. Link farmers to services and Markets In Q2 WARIDI facilitated trained farmers on indigenous chickens keeping at Magubike to register their oultry producer group at Iringa DC in order to sustain farmers access to agricultural inputs, finance and markets. The registered group will facilitate access by women and youth to credit funds and other extension services to help them expand production and develop local markets. In addition, WARIDI facilitated communication between trained farmers from Ifunda (Iringa DC) and Irindi (Kilolo), Irindi to start selling orange fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP) vines to producers.
Assessment and follow-up to track adoption and improved management practices Follow-up and monitoring aimed at assessing farmers’ capacities and rates in adopting the trained or disseminated technologies and it’s impacts of the livelihoods trainings to the communities. WARIDI continued with monitoring and follow-up visits in Kilosa, Mvomero and Iringa DC to assess the adoption of technologies and any improved management practices from Training of Trainers (ToTs) on home garden production, animal husbandry and bee keeping. The follow-up revealed that farmers are increasingly applying the technologies. For example, 440 farmers including TOTs farmers (181 Males, 259 Females), youth 243 (58.86%) and 120 women (27. 27%) trained have applied new technologies and continue to disseminate improved techniques and appropriate technologies to fellow farmers under the MUS approach. Review of Available Training Materials In Q2 the livelihood team continued to review the farmers training materials used in year 3 and other materials used by other USAID Projects such as Mwanzo Bora Nutrition Project, Tanzania Agriculture Productivity Program, IMARISHA and CEGO-NRM project by Lawyers’ Environmental Action Team (LEAT) to adapt and integrate them into our training delivery materials. Also, WARIDI consulted USAID IPs: NAFAKA / AFRICA RISING and Mboga na Matunda and local Authorities agricultural department and Government Agricultural research institutions and Departments for recommendations. The information gathered from the review together with findings from livelihoods assessment will inform the
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 73 design and development of famers user-friendly materials and tailored agriculture trainings that meet the needs of diverse people including priorities of women and youth. Sustainability • WARIDI is building the capacity of local extension workers on extension service facilitation and private sector collaboration to improve their professional interactions with farmers, private sector and other development actors. • WARIDI identified and trained committed TOTs farmers who have applied new technologies and shared these improved techniques and appropriate technologies to other farmers. The trained TOTs farmers and entrepreneurs are being connected with representatives from their respective LGAs for more support. • WARIDI is working with private sector service providers (MFIs and Inputs suppliers) and agricultural research institutions and agencies to develop supplier relationships for inputs especially seed and propagation materials. • WARIDI will develop farmers’ information education and communication materials (IECs) to disseminated good practices to sustain and scale up for brooder target group. Agricultural livelihoods activities implemented by TFCG guarantee WARIDI partner TFCG conducted farmer training on climate-smart and small-scale agriculture including agroforestry using farmer field school approach and value addition strategies in Mbawi, Ukami, Chita, Ikule, Udagaji, Itongowa, Ihimbo and Kipanga. This makes total of 13 FFSs trained in this period. Training on Conservation agriculture involved series of training steps. TFCG continued to implement training on Conservation Agriculture in steps 7 and 9 in six villages which involved farmers field school (FFS) members established over the past year. The trainings were led by project Agricultural officer, District Livestock and Agricultural Officer and Ward Agricultural and Extension Officer. Training participants totalled 135 (66 women). 963 tree seedlings of mango, avocado and orange were established by individual farmers adopted from training and 1,213 seedlings of avocado were established by FFSs in four villages. At the same time, new FFS farms in Ihimbo and Kipanga was established. This is a continuation of the training on the use of manure during the planting. Under this exercise, the project has supported the FFS groups with manure as a demo plot for them to realise the value of using manures. In each farm three sections were made. One was planted using manure from cattle, the second from chicken and the third as control. Farmers will monitor the progress of each of the three sections, at the end the variances will be recorded and used as bases for improving agriculture techniques. 56 (23 women) farmers from Ihimbo and Kipanga village were trained and practicing the use of manure. 2.5 kg of beans were sown by each FFS group. At Ihimbo, two non-FFS members attended the training so that can also apply the techniques on their farms. Training to community members to establish and operate village saving and loan associations (VSLAs). In Q2 TFCG trained 17 village communities on VSLA and established 9 functioning groups. In Idunda, Uluti, Itonya, Mhanga, Ilutila, Idegenda, Masisiwe, Mbawi (Kilolo DC), Kipanga, Ihimbo, Uhafiwa, Ukami (Mufindi DC); Ugadagaji, Chita, Ikule Itongowa and Mngeta (Kilombero DC). The activity involved different stakeholders including Community Development Officers, Ward Executive Officers, Councillors from both Kilolo DC, Mufindi DC in Iringa and Kilombero DC in Morogoro. In addition, the VC’s, VEO, representatives from the VNRC, Village Land Use Management, female youth, male youth, religious leaders, Men and women elders, political leaders’ representatives available in the village, Farmers field School and Water User Association (WUA) were also part of this training. The training was facilitated by the project officer from Ruvu Credit and Development Organization (RUCDO),

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 81 Cross-Cutting and Integration Activities
In Q2 WARIDI advanced implementation of its gender integration and youth inclusion (GIYI) strategy in keeping with the timeline laid out in the Year 4 work plan. Key tasks accomplished are summarized below. Task 4.1 Gender Integration and Youth Inclusion Sub-Task 4.1.1 Gender and Youth Capacity Building and Learning LGAs As the LGA GIYI trainings have all been completed, the work in this area has shifted to follow-up and results documentation for those already trained. Building on the approach used in Q1 with Morogoro district LGAs, the GIYI team convened two additional biannual progress meetings. The first was held in Iringa district and achieved participations from all nine districts. The second focused on the Coastal districts of Chalinze and Bagamoyo. The two 1.5-day meetings were designed to meet the following objectives: • Share and document any progress made on GIYI activities since initial training; • Identify key sources of support and challenges faced while advancing GIYI-related agendas at the district level; • Provide opportunity for districts to learn from and support each other; and • Engage CDOs in WARIDI’s efforts to capture GIYI-related results under indicators 2.5 and 3.1.

Sub-Task 4.1.2 Implement Gender Integration and Youth Inclusion Strategy across WARIDI Under this subtask the GIYI team continued their support to IR teams on gender integration and youth inclusion across their activities. For example, in IR1 the Gender and Youth Advisor attended a village planning meeting for community mobilization with engagement team in Maharaka Mvomero, and recommended scheduling adjustments to better facilitate the participation of women in community meetings. In IR3, the Gender and Youth Advisor also participated in the Morogoro Road Show, at the invitation of the LGAs, who valued WARIDI’s previous support on gender issues. She supported Road Show women’s forums, including advocacy on gender issues in sanitation and economic opportunities for women also review livelihoods assessment tools to capture gender issues and supported the team to conduct Focus Group discussions to women and youth in Maharaka Mvomero. The GIYI team also contributed to the eWaterPay midterm evaluation tools, advising and structuring questions to better capture gender issues. The Gender and Youth Advisor has redoubled efforts on the capture of GIYI-related results under indicators 2.5 and 3.1. Specifically, she has worked with the WARIDI Engagement Coordinators to ensure that Engagement Agents are capturing results as part of their routine monthly deliverables. She has also worked with the Institutional Support Coordinators to require that COWSO-supporting grantees report on GIYI indicators. Together with the MEL team, the Gender and Youth advisor is establishing targets for quarterly GIYI results by COWSO grantees. Finally, she translated the GIYI M&E tool into Kiswahili for easier use by grantees and Engagement Agents attended the Livelihoods’ road shows to capture results under 2.5 and 3.1. In the area of disseminating GIYI best practices, the GIYI team submitted an abstract about the UPWARD gendered social norms change activity to the annual Maji Week Scientific Conference sponsored by the GOT’s Ministry of Water. Among 92 submitted abstracts, the WARIDI UPWARD abstract was one of 42 selected, and the only abstract with a gender equality focus. An oral presentation to the full conference was delivered on day 1 of the event. A similar abstract was submitted to the World Water Week conference in Stockholm. Though not accepted in first round, the WARIDI GIYI abstract has been listed as an alternate for presentation. Two USAID implementing partners from beyond the WASH sector have contacted WARIDI to feature the Project’s GIYI work, and specifically UPWARD, in their own publications and best practice dissemination effort. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) invited WARIDI to contribute a case study featuring our on-the-ground experience on integrating gender into resilience programming to a chapter on gender and resilience for the forthcoming ReSAKSS annual trends and outlook report (ATOR). The report has an overall gender theme this year, and it will be published in September 2019. The chapter will focus on the social/gender dimensions of resilience and develop strategies that respond to different people’s constraints and opportunities. Second, the USAID-

WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 85 Sub-Task 4.1.3 Increase women’s and youth decision-making The UPWARD gendered social norms change intervention has reached an important milestone during Q2. From January through March, UPWARD Coordinator Christina Donasio continued to make monthly monitoring visits to the two participating communities – Lulanzi (Kilolo) and Kanolo (Kilombero). She used a monitoring tool to interview community leaders, LGA officials, and UPWARD participants about any observed changes in women’s participation in community decision-making. Throughout March, the GIYI team designed an end-line evaluation methodology which, paralleling the baseline, employs the use of vignettes, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews to detect any shift in gender norms around women’s participation in water-related governance as a result of the UPWARD intervention. In late March, the evaluation team assembled at WARIDI’s Morogoro office. The evaluation team lead trained two FGD facilitators and two notetakers in the evaluation tools and approaches. They initiated community-based data collection on March 26 in Kanolo, a phase which will be completed by April 15. The GIYI Team was also requested by USAID to produce a social norms change article which was posted on Twitter and Facebook during International Women’s day. The title was #Balance for Better— transforming social norms to advance gender equality. Quarter 3 will see the generation of an evaluation/end-of-intervention report as well as planned dissemination events to share findings and promising practices in the area of gendered social norms change. Sustainability As the UPWARD activity trained CFTs, leaders and women’s groups, we are expecting this knowledge will spread to the entire villages hence bring changes in social norms which hinders women’s participation in decision making.

Task 4.2 LGA Engagement SUB-TASK 4.2.1 Coordinate project activities across IRs. In Q2 the LGA engagement team in collaboration with the institutional support team facilitated the development of a COWSO Support strategy for water supply scheme construction sites. In this round, COWSO Support will be facilitated by WARIDI in collaboration with district officials unlike in the previous arrangement for 16 water supply schemes where the sub-contractors were responsible for both hardware and software activities. To kickstart the implementation of the strategy, the LGA engagement team participated in the LGA-facilitated COWSO trainings for the solar schemes to help them understand the practicability of the modules. Follow up with communities and gathering of lessons learned continued in this quarter in Morogoro and Kilombero. This exercise aims to identify, document and disseminate good practices from first 5 LGAs. The lessons learned will help the project team to improve its strategy for community mobilization and inform the project approach. In this quarter the following lessons were drawn: • Cash contribution inspires the community to participate and own the project • After signing of MoU, it is crucial to refer to it with actors during planning meetings with involvement of WARIDI, LGA, Village leaders and COWSO-in order to ensure each actor adheres to their roles and responsibilities, and to enable communities to be clear on expected deliverables from WARIDI. • It is important to liaise with LGA, i.e., DWE to ensure community cash contributions are deposited in COWSO accounts by village leaders before project commissioning is done. • More coaching and mentoring to COWSOs is key so that they acquire skills to positively influence communities to accept the use of water meters especially for private connections; and to have skills in reading the water meters in order to be able to cross check if the amount collected and submitted by care takers correlates. A full report will be submitted in Q3. Sustainability To ensure sustainability WARIDI will share lessons learned with LGAs to disseminate best practices.

The team organized and participated in regional, district and community level meetings, conferences, forums and workshops to make sure the project focus is well understood by different stakeholders.
• WARIDI continued its participation in USAID integrated activities in Iringa which has a total of 18 USAID Implementing partners (IPs). In Q2, two USAID monthly touch base meetings were conducted and WARIDI was able to attend both of them. For FY19 the emphasis has been on information sharing among IPs including communication materials, improving and managing relationships with LGAs and leveraging available resources including joint monitoring, use of community-based trainers and linking complementary activities. Furthermore, each IP is following up on the progress of the Kilolo comprehensive action plan that was developed in Q1. WARIDI will host a monthly Touchbase meeting in July at its Iringa office. • The LGA engagement team facilitated district feedback and community mobilization meetings for new water supply construction sites to create awareness on the selected projects, our approach, and conditions. In every selected community, two meetings were facilitated; one with the village and COWSO leaders, and a second one with the village general assembly. In all of these meetings, village and COWSO leaders together with villagers were taken through the draft MoU for them to understand roles and responsibilities of each party and developed an action plan for implementation of the activity. The MoUs will be signed after the selection of the sub-contractors. At the district level, feedback on the selected projects and criteria for their selection were shared, including
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 88 modalities for community participation. In the pre-construction phase, the team will follow up on community cash contributions, introducing contractors to the community, and COWSO capacity building. During the construction phase, the community will be encouraged to participate and provide support to unskilled activities like trench excavation to fast track project implementation. • WARIDI continued to commission the remaining completed water supply schemes at the community level, whereby both leaders at district and community level were involved as lead guests. In Q2, four out of 5 remaining projects were commissioned: Ikela and Mwaya in Kilombero district, and Hembeti and Melela in Mvomero district. Kiberege water supply scheme has been completed and is waiting for official commissioning in May 2019. In the commissioning process, as-built designs, project reports and completion status reports were shared with the respective communities and LGA. Sustainability The aim of integrating USAID supported activities in Iringa is to improve the quality of service and leveraging of resources (for example community-based volunteers) which in turn will help to bolster the impact of USAID interventions. Also, to improve the quality of life and livelihoods of the beneficiaries by linking the activities and interventions to their needs. They will eventually manage the relationship with the LGA and require increased levels of awareness. Community awareness and mobilization events focus on increasing community participation in project activities, and encourage project ownership and buy-in. All activities involve the district staff and village leadership to create a chain of communication for sustainable follow up.

Working closely with EAs, all plans were channelled from the IR leads to the respective districts. The EAs have also been involved in stakeholders’ meetings at the district level, sharing plans with LGAs and supporting grantee activities. The engagement team supported coordination of bi-annual progress on GIYI in Chalinze and Bagamoyo. Through the engagement agent based at the district level, follow up on each LGA’s action plan for GIYI, CC-A and MUS was conducted and progress reported to the MEL team. EAs also updated indicator 2.5 (gender). Furthermore, the team continued supporting the organization, monitoring and identification of MEs to participate in the microenterprise training program in all districts. The EAs have been and will continue supporting follow up of trained MEs’ sales of WASH products and successful market channels created as a result of the MEs trainings. Additionally, the LGA engagement team participated in the water week stakeholder’s dialogue in Iringa. The event was organized by the Iringa RS and subsequently followed by a community level event organized by Iringa district in Ifunda village. WARIDI also participated in a Meeting with Njombe LGA staff to prepare for International Women’s Day. The event was well organized and a WARIDI contribution of TZS 500,000 was highly appreciated by both District Commissioner, DED, DCDO and LGA authorities of Njombe DC.

Science, Technology, and Innovation WARIDI has support several important innovations and pilots in Q2 on water resources and natural resources management in Tanzania. These include Aquarius software for monitoring water resources management in the Wami/Ruvu and Rufiji Basins. This important platform automates much of the traditionally manual data entry and analysis that was needed for monitoring water flows in these rivers. Over two decades of data are now available online and are informing decision support related to water permitting and other applications in the Basins. Three success stories on this application have been submitted to USAID for approval at the time of this writing.
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 97 eWaterPay has proven to be a highly effective pay for service platform for community water delivery. As described, this hardware and software has been installed in two communities and demonstrates reduced water waste, increased water revenue, increased water access, and job creation in the communities. An evaluation report is under finalization at the time of this writing.
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES
On January 17 the Deputy Chief of Party, Leif Kindberg mobilized to Morogoro, Tanzania and assumed his responsibilities. WARIDI submitted the FY19 Q1 report on-time and this was approved after one round of revisions on 25 March. Tetra Tech ARD’s home office Water Resources and Infrastructure (WRI) Sector Director, Andrew Keck visited WARIDI and met with USAID/Tanzania to discuss overall progress and lessons learned. The Deputy Chief of Party participated in the USAID environmental partners meeting held February 21 in Dar es Salaam. He presented a brief overview of WARIDI’s relevant environmental and water activities and shared some successes and challenges on implementation. The Chief of Party presented on WARIDI experience working with Government of Tanzania and other learning during the USAID Learning Summit held 13 March in Dar es Salaam. WARIDI senior management had multiple opportunities to make courtesy call meetings including visiting the Magubike Water Supply Scheme with Deputy Minister for Water, Hon. Juma Aweso on 13 February; with the USAID/Tanzania Mission Director on 19 February; side meetings with the Permeant Secretary, Prof. Kitila Mumbo and Dr. George Lugomela, Director of Water Resources during the WARIDI handover ceremony held 21 March in Dodoma. Notable comments from the Deputy Minister for Water during the brief presentations, included: “...On behalf of the ministry, I really appreciate the quality and timely completion of the projects implemented by WARIDI….” (Hon. Juma Aweso) “…We (MOW) really need to write an appreciation letter to WARIDI. But we also need to ask them to share their ideas and experiences with us.…” (Hon. Juma Aweso) “…From what I have seen in Kilolo and here in Magubike, there are good examples of good workmanship that we can learn from WARIDI supported water supply schemes and use them in our other government projects…”. (Hon. Juma Aweso)
“…We greatly appreciate WARIDI’s support in our district. I really like WARIDI’s approach of maintaining the work quality by buying bulk materials from suppliers and letting the contractors concentrate on construction works….” (Iringa District Commissioner)
WARIDI had support from several consultants and home office staff during the quarter including Water4Life’s Bart Hilhorst and Brad Garner, Winrock home office Project Manager Mark Trible as well as partner project SERVIR East and Southern Africa staff members Denis Macharia and Anastasia Wahome from Nairobi Kenya who will be supporting activities on climate change in Q3 and beyond. Two engagement agents changed titles and scope of responsibilities during the quarter. Lilian Mkusa, Engagement Agent in Mafinga TC was promoted to Enterprise and Partnerships Support Officer. Kanabora Saro, Engagement Agent in Njombe TC was promoted to Sanitation Assistant. A new position
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 98 was added, Enterprise and Partnerships Specialist to support the ramp up and successful completion of the livelihoods and partnership activities. During the quarter discussions were held with the Tanzania Peace Corps Director, Nelson Cronyn on possible extension of Peace Corps Volunteer positions with WARIDI as the current volunteers phase out in May and August. WARIDI hired a School WASH Engineer, an Urban Water Supply Engineer, and one more rural water supply engineer, all of whom started work in February 2019. The Rural Water Supply Engineer, Helen Ufwinki was formerly the Engagement Agent for Morogoro DC. WARIDI also hired an additional accountant during the quarter. The WARIDI Procurement and Logistics Specialist resigned during the quarter and a replacement was hired, Lwitiko Ephraim with an anticipated start date of April 8th. The Rufiji Basin Water Board Coordinator resigned during the period and the Iringa Engagement Agent, Joshua Dismas was promoted to this position due to his hydrology and natural resources management background and knowledge of the Rufiji BWB operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE
For its environmental mitigation and monitoring reporting, WARIDI uses the environmental forms provided by USAID/Tanzania and the WARIDI EMMP which is based on the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for the WARIDI initiative dated April 2014. In 2018 USAID provided WARIDI with a revised Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Report (EMMR) template. WARIDI has begun using this template to report on environmental management and compliance. For activities included as Categorical Exclusion in Table 5 of the WARIDI EMMP, no further environmental reporting will be required. For all activities in the Negative Determination with Conditions category, WARIDI will use this EMMR form as replacement to the EMMR Part 1 of 3: Environmental Verification Form, EMMR Part 2 of 3: Mitigation Plan, and EMMR Part 3 of 3: Reporting Form as described in the WARIDI EMMP. For all other activities that receive a Positive Determination, a complete Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be conducted with prior approval from USAID/Tanzania. IR1 – Increased Utilization of Sustainable Multiple-Use Water and Sanitation Services (MUS) Environmental Compliance Monitoring Forms for water and sanitation were improved upon during the quarter. Forms include Site Selection, Spot Check and Training Completion Forms for both water supply and sanitation blocks. WARIDI use these improved forms on each new water supply (11) and School sanitation site (25) during Q3. One Borehole location proposed by consultant, site evaluation report completed and borehole drilling will take place in Q3. This further elaborated on in Annex 12. IR 2 Strengthened Governance for Sustainable and Resilient Management of Water Resources and Services Under a Changing Climate Under water resources governance and climate change activities, WARIDI ensures improvements in planning and management of land and water resources do not cause destruction or degradation of forests, wetlands, loss of biodiversity, erosion or loss of soil fertility, siltation of water bodies, reduction in water quality, and introduction of exotic or non-native plants or animals. Most IR 2 activities are focused on improved management of natural resources through land use planning and decision support. Monitoring and mitigation measures taken during the quarter are identified in the EMMR table in Annex 13. Limited activities such as installation of water level recorders along the Wami-Ruvu and Rufiji rivers
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 99 are reviewed and monitored, and mitigation measures taken to avoid erosion and introduction of non- native species. IR 3 Increased Livelihoods Through Private Sector Investment Opportunities for Sustainable Water Services and Water Resource Management Environmental compliance in private sector and alternative livelihoods activities in WASH and agriculture focuses on environmentally beneficial technologies. The trained farmers, per the Q1 and Q2 follow-up have increasing using organic farming methods in growing their home gardens. Innovative farmers are using farm yard manure (FYM) for growing vegetables and most of them keep rabbits for getting manure and rabbit’s urine which they have proved it supplies Nitrogen to the plants twice as much as any Nitrate inorganic fertilizer does. Farmers have adapted appropriate technologies introduced in environmental conservation measures. Private sector partnerships consider water conservation benefits, responsible disposal of environmentally hazardous products, and improved benefits of environmental contaminations. For example, the partnership with eWATERpay has largely eliminated water waste at the distribution points due to automated cut-off and control of water dispensed. Similarly, the partnership with SATO uses very little water in the system. Further details on environmental mitigation and monitoring for each of these areas of intervention are reported in Annex 13.
GRANTS MANAGEMENT
The WARIDI grants program launched in May 2017 with an award to TFCG. Ten grants were then awarded to seven NGOs for a district-wide COWSO capacity-building, and ODF campaigns in September and October 2017 for the first five WARIDI selected districts (i.e. Kilolo, Iringa, Kilombero, Kilosa and Mvomero).

MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING
The Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) team added two new members to the Team during Q2, MEL Specialist Rogers Sabugo and MEL Data Entry Operator Sophia Joseph, who will begin work in early Q3. During Q2 the MEL Team undertook multiple activities to improve data collection and quality, build the capacity of grantees and operationalize collaborative learning between technical, MEL and program partners. The MEL team reviewed and confirmed milestone deliverables from all COWSOs and ODF grantees for milestone reimbursement during the quarter. DATA COLLECTION AND QUALITY ISSUES To ensure smooth and accurate data collection and data quality, the MEL team conducted several field visits to project grantees and provided technical support by field staff on proper methods of data collection and use of proper tools across all activities during Q2. During these field visits the MEL team undertook data review, verification and spot checks with beneficiaries and LGAs. COWSO and ODF MEL activities are described below. The MEL team conducted follow-up on data collection and data verification activities related to land and/or water management and climate change which contributes to indicators 1.1, 2.4, 2.5, 2.7 and 2.8. The MEL team visited 5 LGAs with a total of 19 COWSOs in Morogoro, Pwani and Iringa respectively (Table 21) to capacitate the grantees on how they can carry out climate change impact survey to COWSOs. Also, to conduct data review and verification in order to identify and observe the areas of improvement made by COWSOs after the capacity building program.

The MEL team developed a Climate Change Impact evaluation tool to measure COWSO member’s capacity to address and adapt to the impact of Climate Change through training provided by WARIDI. In Q1 of, a total of 142 COWSO in nine LGAs had been trained on Climate Change. By the end of Q3, WARIDI will measure their capacity in addressing and adapting Climate Change. The tools exist in English and Swahili language. The tool will measure achievements for WARIDI indicators 2.7 and 2.8, to be reported in Q3. MEL team worked with the livelihood team to pilot the assessment survey tools for sanitation and hygiene antiseptics and detergents entrepreneurs and agricultural livelihoods assessments. The survey tools were prepared and digitized for online submissions. The MEL team jointly supported data management through the online entry of the livelihood assessment survey. Livelihood assessment results are presented earlier in the report. The WARIDI MEL team has designed data collection tools, standard operating procedures and data review and verification checklists which guide and ensure the data collected is accurate and of quality. In this quarter the team reached both COWSO and ODF grantees for data review and verification in Bagamoyo, Gairo, Mufindi, Njombe and Malinyi. A joint sanitation and hygiene data review, verification and household spot check was conducted by ODF Grantees, WARIDI MEL, ODF and Sanitation Teams and District Health Officer (DHO). The team divided themselves into four groups. A total of twelve (12) villages out of 14 villages were selected for data review, verification and spot check. A minimum of five (5) households in each sub-village were visited by each sub-group. Data collectors accompanied each group on household visits by verifying the names of heads on households if indicted in the registers together with other variables specifically on latrine options. Each team filled in the data verification checklist for the household visited. The sub groups were also responsible for compiling their own assessment results. The teams visited 12 villages, 36 sub-villages and 182 households out of 14 villages. Of the visited villages, 11villages (91.7%) qualify for the ODF external verification exercise at the initial stage since the households visited in these villages had latrines varying in the status. One village out of 12 visited namely Mabanda village did not qualify by having three households with no latrines and the most available latrines are traditional latrines with poorly constructed mud walls, no roofs and doors (doors are made of cloth). Thus, more effort is required to emphasize on construction and upgrading the latrines from poorly constructed traditional to improved ones to qualify for external verification. The team shared feedback and observations collected during data verification in village at the end of each day and conducted feedback meetings with the Village Executive Officers and data collectors after the physical verification exercises mainly to discuss the major issues, identify follow-up actions and express appreciation. The MEL Team found that community awareness on latrine construction, upgrading and use in most of
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 107 the villages is promising. Commitments and support of community leaders including VEOs, Village chairpersons and other village committees in follow up on sanitation activities has brought positive improvements in most of the villages visited for data review, verification and spot check. Data collectors are well trained and able to collect and aggregate data through registers, however most of them are demoralized by the incentive of TZS10,000/= per quarter. Some of the sub villages are scattered and it is difficult to reach households on foot for data collection hence do not visit those households located far from the sub villages centres especially among pastoralist. Furthermore, latrine options classification by data collectors in some villages, specifically Kipingo, needs to be clearly elaborated as most of the households have improved latrines from type B to D but indicted as type A. This incorrect classification of latrines types has led to underreporting of improved latrines. In some villages, including Mabanda Traditional pit latrine is still dominated in turn collapse during rain seasons, this may decelerate the reporting in numbers. Lastly, hand washing promoting in most of the villages is still a challenge-some household with no hand washing facilities and the available ones not functioning, with no water and soap. The MEL team noted that follow-up on accurate, complete and relevant data collection, aggregation, reporting and conducting a thorough spot-check is required by the grantee in all villages to ensure that the submitted data is accurate, relevant, complete and verified. Incentives and motivation of data collectors needs to be revisited. To help address this, the LGA’s budgets need to provide adequate support to data collectors. SUMMARY OF FIELD VISITS During field visits the MEL team undertook data review, verification and spot checks with beneficiaries and LGAs to ensure data quality. MEL visits to COWSOs and ODF grantees are further described below. Field visit to SAWA ODF grants in Gairo for technical support on data collection tools used, data verification and milestone review. The MEL team jointly worked with the grantee staff to conduct data review i.e. documentation review of the quarterly update of the sanitation and hygiene data to observe data quality and documentation of data review, verification and household spot-checks. Two villages Makuyu and Igava in Italagwe ward were randomly selected for quarterly sanitation and hygiene data review and verification. The team in groups carried out desk data review to crosscheck accuracy and correctness of village summary against sanitation register book kept at WEO’s/VEO’s office. The team randomly selected 10 household for field visit and HH spot check to observe accuracy and reality of data recorded on sanitation hygiene register book against the reality. General field visit observations included: • VEOs and WEOs have the capacity to carry out data aggregation and well supervise the data collectors. • Data collectors are well trained, they can collect data correctly according to the household status. The team also identified some challenges, including: • Data collectors are unable to record shared toilets especially for rented houses, where they recorded the household owner as household head leaving out tenants. Clarification was given on how to record shared toilets according to the NSC guide. • Majority of the households visited do not have functional handwashing facilities. Some do not have at all, others have tip tap but there is no evidence of using it. • Majority of households in Igava village have traditional latrines. • There was some confusion on how to correctly fill in the registers, which was addressed directly addressed to data collectors. The MEL Specialist was able to observe and provide more technical support to grantee staff on:
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 108 • Proper documentation of findings on sanitation and hygiene data review, verification and Household spot check checklist. • quarterly data analysis of the sanitation and hygiene data to present the results, progress and challenges. Also, documentation and follow ups of ODF internal assessment and external verification supporting documents. • Reporting Social Behavior Change Campaign activity • Cross checking grantees milestone deliverables documentation both hardcopy and soft copy. TAEES- Bagamoyo. The grantee worked with a total of 15 COWSOs. Of these, 11 COWSOs were reported in the WARIDI database. It was observed there have been positive changes in COWSO leadership because of gender training which raised awareness on equal opportunity for both men and women holding leadership positions. More results on gender analysis for all 142 COWSO will be reported in the Q3 report. In addition, six COWSOs were visited and three of them (Table 22) through the COWSOs’ own efforts had made water scheme improvements by extending new water points and conducting water point repairs. Following such changes, the MEL team will conduct data verification in Q3 to verify these new water points and report on them in indicator 1.1. Table 22: TAEES Grantee Overview COWSO Achievements # of beneficiaries Mapinga 8 new extended water points 51 (private connections) Mataya Five water point (one 73 repaired and four new extended) Nzinga – Nguvu Kazi24 Two new extended water 10 points (private connections)
The MEL team spot-checked the correctness of figures reported through the data collection tool and analysed the database against the source data from the COWSOs. It was observed that data reported reflects the reality in most cases. For example, the number of water users, leaders and number of water points were reported correctly. However, the grantee will be required to update data during Q3 implementation. Gathering end-line data to obtain improvements made will increase WARIDI achievements particularly on WARIDI indicator 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, and 2.8. EMAC – Gairo. The grantee is working with 8 existing COWSOs and there are four new COWSOs that will be reported in Q3 to make a total of 12 COWSOs. Out of the total number of COWSOs, 3 of them (Table 23) were visited and reported the following achievements.
24 The scheme has been supported by the LGAs, however the COWSO through COWSO capacity building program has been able to begin extending the water services to other water users.

IECA- Mufindi. It was observed that IECA is currently working on 13 existing COWSOs instead of 17 COWSOs. There has been drop out of four COWSOs because the latter lacks functional water scheme. Thus, the MEL team identified the dropped COWSOs in the database, and the grantee updated the database with additions of four new COWSOs that were not yet recorded for a total of 13 functional COWSOs. Out of 13 COWSOs, 4 COWSOs were visited. The below observations on their achievements due to WARIDI support were observed. Jumuiya ya watumia maji Magunguli (JUWAMAMA) extended water scheme by constructing 11 new water points. The latter benefits a total of 350 beneficiaries. Following the achievements obtained from COWSOs because of capacity building program. The process of registering water users in progress. WARIDI MEL team will conduct data verification in Q3 and report these under indicator 1.1. Jumuiya ya watumia maji Idunda, Malangali, Ihowanza (IMAI). The COWSO was observed as having a very old water scheme which serves three wards with a total 16,000 people who can contribute work force. After the WARIDI capacity building program two women ward leaders, village leaders in collaboration with the COWSO leaders created raised community awareness on the importance of improving the water tariffs that as an approach to increase revenues for scheme rehabilitation. The impact of the training results led to the collection of 1,000 Tshs per person for six months consecutively which raised a total of 61,000,000 Tshs. These funds are being used for rehabilitation of the IMAI water scheme. The process of registering water users is in progress. The number of beneficiaries will be verified in Q3 which will contribute to indicator 1.1. JUMUIYA YA WATUMIA MAJI Tambalang’ombe. The COWSO manages a pumped scheme, which was not functional. It was observed after the WARIDI capacity building program that COWSO leaders in collaboration with ward and village leaders mobilized the community to contribute towards the purchase of new pump by collecting 6,800 Tshs per head for every individual member 18 years and above during a three months period. Currently the pump has been bought and replaced the non- functional pump and water is now flowing. The process of registering water users is in progress. The number of beneficiaries will be verified in Q3 which will contribute to indicator 1.1. Jumuiya ya watumia maji Udumka. This COWSO uses a solar pump scheme which was non- functional. After WARIDI’s support the community raised awareness and contributions to purchase a new solar pump. In total the COWSO was able to raise a total of 2,400,000 Tshs. The COWSO was also able to receive support from the LGAs through PbR funds. The system is now functional, and the process of registering water users is in progress. The number of beneficiaries will be verified in Q3 which will contribute to indicator 1.1.
25 This water scheme has been supported by the LGAs
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 110 SHIPO- Njombe. The grantee is working with 22 existing COWSOs. All baseline data for 22 COWSOs has been collected and recorded in the WARIDI database. However, the grantee will be updating the required information as end-line data in Q3. Out of 22 COWSOs four COWSOs were visited. The process of registering water users in progress. The number of beneficiaries will be verified in Q3 which will contribute to indicator 1.1. The following achievements (Table 24) were observed. Table 24: SHIPO Achievements COWSO Achievements
Igongolo Kivitu Two water point repairs Ibiki One water point repairs Nyave Extended one water point Wanginyi One water point repairs, metering and private connection
EMEDO- Malinyi. A technical support meeting was conducted with the grantee staff. The MEL team observed that the grantee is building the capacity of 10 COWSOs, 5 existing and 5 new. Eight of them manage pumped schemes and only two have gravity schemes. The COWSOs collect water bills at flat rate on a monthly basis even for the metered DPs. The grantee will be providing the COWSOs with more support for meter installation and meter reading. Water payment to most of the COWSOs is still a challenge due to political issues from village leaders and council representatives at the district which advocates for free water service. Following the capacity building program some COWSOs have made improvements to the water system for example Jumuiya ya watumia maji USAMTI installed meters in 30 water points and Lupunga in 2 water points. The process of registering water users in progress. Technical support to 1st five LGAs- extended ODF grantee. The visit was done to SAWA- Kilosa, HAPA -Kilombero, SEMA-Mvomero), IECA Iringa and MAMADO-Kilolo for provision of technical support on proper reporting of sanitation and hygiene data. IECA and MAMADO phased out implementation of the Sanitation and Hygiene interventions in September 2018. Then they were selected for a second phase to implement NSC district wide activities for FY19. The MEL team saw the need to reach the grantee teams and equip them with proper reporting of sanitation and hygiene data for smooth implementation. Technical support provided was based on three major areas:
• Use of Quarterly Sanitation and hygiene register database • Use of Data analysis and report writing guidance • Use of Sanitation and Hygiene data review, verification and HH spot check tool and standard operating procedure for documentation purpose. MEL CHALLENGES AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR FUTURE QUARTERS The MEL team has been collecting number of beneficiaries as a result of water point repairs due to COWSO capacity building program. This was reported in narrative during the Annual report of FY2018. In order to include the number of beneficiaries under indicator 1.1 WARIDI MEL team revised the data collection tool by focusing on two areas which include water point repairs and scheme extension (new or rehabilitation). To meet the indicator criteria as per Performance Indicator Reference sheet which counts for distance that is 30 minutes or less than for a round trip, 20 liters per day/person and newly constructed or rehabilitated. The team prepared a verification checklist to be used to verify the number
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 111 of beneficiaries reported in 1st Five LGAs and nine LGAs in the current implementation. This will be conducted and reported in the Q3 FY4 report. By using the Sanitation and hygiene data review, verification and household spot check checklist the team will continue to monitor grantees use and documentation of quarterly updates follow up on data collection, verification, validation and reporting in all sub villages in the districts. In addition to that the team will provide more technical support to the team on undertaking learning activity based on existing learning themes, but also proposed additions themes. The MEL team has designed a learning tracker to be used by the team to systematic collect /document lesson learn that will eventually be prioritized for Learning activity LEARNING ACTIVITIES Major project learning highlights in the reporting period focused on the current three learning themes:
• Gender integration and youth inclusion. • Private sector participation in WASH and livelihood activities. • Adaptation to climate change (although formally contained under IR2, effectiveness relates to human activity across all IRs). Gender integration and youth inclusion. GIYI Team conducts bi annual progress meetings with LGAs to acquire feedback on the impact of the training conducted. Training provided to LGAs was important to influence departmental planning and budgeting for gender and youth activities. Through follow-up consultations, we have learnt that there are challenges in ensuring that the training affects how GIYI approaches are adopted by LGAs. For example: • Knowledge is not always shared with other LGA staff; • Trained staff can be transferred to other districts, thus moving with their acquired knowledge; and • There is lack of funds among LGAs to implement gender and youth activities that trainees. Private sector participation in WASH and livelihood activities. Private sector participation in WASH and livelihoods activities has a positive impact on COWSOs capacity and services provided to water users. The internal mid-term evaluation of the eWATERpay pilot scheme in Msowero and Mvumi COWSOs conducted during the quarter identified the following lessons on water users and COWSOs: • Improvements to water revenue especially at Msowero COWSO from average of 2.9m TZS per month to over 4m TZS a month (over 37% increase). There were also notable improvements in access to water in both COWSOS. Further, the technology has created nine part-time jobs for water sales agents and at Msowero COWSO, the COWSO has decided to maintain previous domestic water point attendants to ensure domestic water points (DP) upkeep. • Water users and COWSO leaders reported challenges related to the introduction of eWATERpay meters in their community such as limitations of water balance information in the users’ tags when fetching water, continuous flow of water at some DPs (at an average of 2 taps per month), theft of high value electronic equipment in Mvumi. Mvumi COWSO was reported to be adversely affected by water rationing due to low water levels in the COWSO’s water system. Adaptation to climate change (although formally contained under IR2, effectiveness relates to human activity across all IRs).
WARIDI Quarterly Report, Q2 FY19 112 WARIDI started engaging media practitioners in increasing stakeholder awareness, consultation and engagement in IWRM. The first workshop with journalists resulted to coverages in several good media houses, blog posts and exchange of short video clips through different social media platforms. It has been learnt that many stakeholders have been reached through the various means of communication. However, WARIDI is thinking of next steps to counting the stakeholders reached. In addition to this, WARIDI also learnt that a single event workshop and training on the Integrated Water Resources Management and other water related issues is not sufficient to create the desired awareness, it is therefore important to constantly follow-up on the outcome of such trainings.
SPECIAL EVENTS FOR NEXT QUARTER
• Mid-term Review of WARIDI Progress in the first two quarters of FY19 to be conducted with reflection on how to ensure WARIDI interventions are sustainable. • Anticipated quarterly review meeting with COR, Francis Mtitu, Judith Kitivio and Janeth Said. Site visits in around Iringa DC. • Vice-presidential visit expected at the Kiberege scheme in early May.
