  1. Water Point Mapper, Nabaka Pilot- Fiji (Nov 2012) Piloting Water Point Mapper in a rural Fijian village- preliminary results

  2. The Water/Sanitation scene • 2010 UN Declaration of water & sanitation as a human right- efforts in the Pacific through regional development partners/stakeholders • Water & Sanitation are key elements for development • What are the statistics for Fiji? • How can coverage of water & sanitation be used to leverage support in PICs! • Does putting information in the hands of the people enhance development in small island communities by improved decision making?

  3. Joint monitoring programme data from WHO/UNICEF(2012)

  4. Partnerships and background to the Water Point Mapper (WPM) Pacific WASH Coalition/WaterAiD (UK) Nabaka WPM Pilot SPC/WSP&DRP teams Nabaka Village, (Fiji)Development Committee

  5. Methodology & team • Team configuration of the use of WPM for Fiji *technical assistance with WaterAid(UK) • Team confirmation with village development committee and homeowners of visit and assistance in survey work • 5 staff; SPC/SOPAC with 1 local consultant • HH survey teams and Juno SB teams mapping tanks

  6. Objectives: Conduct a WASH survey in a rural Fijian village using various data collection tools with the WPM

  7. Paper forms 2pg paper forms were combined into the Junos and also formatted into the episurveyor app-online, downloaded and run off an android phone.

  8. Episurveyor Mobile phone based data collection tool: Nokia, iphone, Blackberry and Android based phone compatible

  9. Water Point Mapper • Designed by WaterAid (UK) as a monitoring mapping tool for monitoring the status of water & sanitation services. • Used extensively in Africa, India and Nepal in poor communities, by various partners and NGOs • The Nabaka pilot combines use of paper based forms, mobile phones and Juno SB handhelds to collect water/sanitation points and data.

  10. Episurveyor+ Water Point Mapper Forms added via episurveyor are exported into excel files for use with Water point mapper

  11. Water point mapper- generating maps Water point and water quality maps can be generated given all data-sets are available and entered into the excel file.

  12. Water point mapper- entering data Once data is entered into the pre-set fields under water point data and maps are generated to KML files viewable via Google earth

  13. Nabaka Demographics • Piloting the work in a rural Fijian village, Nabaka- Navakavu Fiji. • Initiated by community development committee from work completed by WSP team in 2011, WASH survey was recommended as follow-up action • Key information about Nabaka; • 29 households • Total population: 135 people, ~34% <15yrs of age. • 9/13 shared RWT’s household connections/ strategically placed rainwater tanks • Water sources: 90% plastic rainwater tanks, and 10% ferrocement tanks. • Sanitation: 69% water seal, 21% flush toilet systems, 7% pit toilets and 3% beach/bush

  14. Water point mapper- on Google earth Generating and using maps for various purposes, source type maps

  15. Water point mapper- on Google earth Generating and using maps for various purposes, coverage maps, acceptable distance etc.

  16. Water point mapper- on Google earth • Lessons learned/preliminary findings • Initial setup/troubleshooting issues • Application across PICs-Pacific WASH Coalition • Accuracy/connectivity issues with mobile phones • Next steps: • Shared results and maps with community development committee, making connections • Planned implementation of WPM for PIC communities in Tokelau (2013)
