  1. The Problems – Piles of Poo, Disposal Costs and The Protein Crunch…

  2. The Intervention – Our Change Targets Micro Scale Medium Scale Global Scale • Credibility • Jobs • Paradigm replacement • Enable Aquaculture • Ground Swell • Viral & Social Media • PR & Retail acceptance • FREE FEED! • African mid scale farm development • Industry – restructuring • New supply chain, new opportunity • Carbon footprints slashed Systemic Change # in field use Bug Barrel Demonstrators x3 Waste impact Tonnes cleaned Jobs & carbon 100t factory Targets Measures For Every 1 tonne Of AgriProtein Magmeal produced a minimum environmental Saving Of $2,700 Is Made’ What if Magmeal could re-ignite African poultry production for Europe? 2

  3. Current Status & Research Questions • Programme Status: • Journal Research – Lab Trials – Garage Trials – Animal Trials • - Proof of Concept & Step Scaling • - Soup2Nuts @ base, Baby off site, Medium out of country • - Q4 2013 Municipal – Primary facility • Research Questions: • - What questions could Africa ask if it had FREE protein / Waste collection • - What is the effect on sanitation of monetising human waste – e.g. PET • - What entrepreneurial models can this technology be the catalyst for • - What is the effect of cost reduction on municipal service provision

  4. eThekwini Water and Sanitation -Durban Teddy Gounden

  5. eThekwini Municipality Responsibilities and approach • Provision of water and sanitation services to all customers in the municipality • Ring fenced entity (finance) • Innovative approach • free basic water • flow limiters • ground tanks and semi-pressure water service levels • urine diversion toilets • the use of grey water for urban agriculture • community ablution blocks (CAB)

  6. Challenges • Provision of services to communities that do not have access to basic water services • Difficulty in accessing dense informal settlements • Vandalism • Misuse and wastage of water • High levels of non-payment • Blockages of pipes • Leaks and illegal connections

  7. Improved Revenue Collection Background: • Currently NRW is 35% • 10% attributed to non-payment: loss of revenue – R855 000 (approx. $99 000) per day • Free basic water (9 KL/month/household) • Debt relief policy • Illegal connection • Disconnection policy

  8. Improved Revenue Collection • Overall goal: increased compliance for payment of metered, piped water • Target group: communities that qualify for social housing • Interventions to address barriers to payment (pilot project): • On-site billing • Use of technology for instant billing (e.g. cell phone) • Simplifying the bill • Rebates for prompt payments • Providing quantity of water that consumer is willing to pay for

  9. Community ablution blocks • Initiated in 2009 • Toilets, showers, laundry ,drinking water and caretaker manages facility • An estimated 1 million people will benefit from the project in informal settlements • 360 ablution facilities have been installed (Nov 2012) • Identify Business model /greater community ownership • Test different models • Evaluate sustainability • Test Community acceptance

  10. Development Workshop Angola Founded in 1981, DW is a professional non-profit organisation and important partner of the Government on water & sanitation, human settlements and urban development issues. We have a staff of 100 in 3 regional offices and work with about 100 interns & volunteers. • DW’s Aims: • Meet the post-war challenge of lack of data for urban planning, equitable water & sanitation services and pro-poor policy development. • Strengthen the role of civil society in poverty monitoring and advocacy capacity. • Enhance skills of Municipal administration and partners through training and capacity building in participatory planning and budgeting • Improve networking and the creation space through “ elected municipal forums” for consultation & negotiation between communities, government and non-governmental institutions

  11. DW’s Participatory Mapping Methodologies DW uses qualitative & quantitative research methods& household surveys with semi-structured interviews in peri-urban and rural areas. Surveys are conducted by teams composed of technicians from municipal government, bairro associations, university students under the supervision of DW’s research technicians. Geographic Information Systems Remote sensing & Participatory and spatial mapping

  12. Potential for J-PAL colaboration • Introduce more rigorous tools to strengthen DW Angola’s research capacity • More credible pro-poor advocacy for influencing public policy on access to services through evidence-based research and monitoring. • Building community and government ownership of information through public partnerships and civil society networks • Enhance our poverty monitoring using the MDG 11 indicators of: • Water • Sanitation • Environmental Risks • Land tenure • Housing quality

  13. Research Question(s) • Do the presence of active community association have an influence on leveraging improved urban water services? • Randomisation can be based on the bairro (neighbourhood level). • Luanda’s population is about 6 million. • We have mapped and are monitoring 250 bairros. • Will emerging community advocates/leaders be elected into municipal councils in the first local government elections planned for 2015?

  14. IMPROVING SANITATION IN PERI-URBAN MAPUTO: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR FECAL SLUDGE MANAGEMENT SERVICE PROVISION Peter Hawkins, Odete Muximpua and Luis Macário WSP Mozambique J-PAL USI Matching Conference, Cape Town, January 2013

  15. WSP Global Priorities FY11-15 WSP Global Priorities FY11-15 FECAL SLUDGE MANAGEMENT SERVICE PROVISION Monitoring and Gender are cross cutting areas *Mali is not among the 12 focus countries but is a SS-DPSP country

  16. The JSDF/WSP/WSUP Project ($1.86 m) Objective: improve the sanitation conditions and practices in 11 peri-urban neighborhoods of Maputo, piloting and developing effective approaches for replication, thus contributing to improved health, and reduced poverty.

  17. Project Components • Promotion and monitoring of sanitation and hygiene: • Promotional programs, for households to change their behaviors and sustain sanitation improvements; • Monitor to provide continued downward pressure on community members and upward pressure on the authorities; • Sanitation infrastructure: • Construction of shared user facilities • Promotion of the construction or improvement of household facilities • Development of desludging services: • Supporting desludging service providers to provide professional and hygienic services
