  6. SUMMARY OF WATER AND SANITATIONTSUNAMI RECOVERY PROGRAM (CONT.)

  7. Modality of Operation • Takes place in the context of health promotion activities. • Preliminary health education is essential, including the identification of local volunteers for campaign. • Participation of the community at all stages. • Initial approaches, when feasible, through traditional and established leadership. • Adequate time - be allowed for preliminary consultation and agreement with the water committee.

  8. Modality of Operation (CONT.) • Simplest appropriate technology / use locally manufactured or available equipments. • Parts and tools for repair should be in the custodianship of water committees. • Integration with other sectors could produce maximum impact/benefit to communities. • Water supply projects should be evaluated. • Projects are consistent with IFRC strategy • Hardware • Hygiene Promotion • O&M Capacity Building

  9. CHALLENGES • Lengthy project assessments, design, revision, approval and start-up processes and procedures. • The staff turnover rate within the Movement has been high – not because of overworked delegates but probably underutilized and under worked delegates getting bogged down with some bureaucratic hurdles. • The experiences of the Tsunami and other recent natural disasters all point to the need to have local branches knowledgeable and active in water and sanitation.

  10. CHALLENGES (CONT.) • Standards/levels of service to beneficiaries are not consistent. SUGGESTION SECTION?? • In the true sense of coordination the IFRC should take a lead and assign participating PNS to fill specific needs, especially when there are many PNS in a particular country.
