Key features • What is going well • Commitment and interest among some of the selected pilots • Increase awareness among pilot utility • Community commitment and mobilisation • Ownership of programme at subnational level • Partnerships with relevant organisations and educational institutions • Opportunity to compliment related existing programmes for ADB, JICA, WSP-WB, UN-Habitat and others • Where there is need for improvement • Changing perception to value all stages of risk management • Changing thinking beyond infrastructure improvement alone • Environment for institutionalisation at national level • Need better coordination among external agencies (especially around urban for WSPs). • Need more frequent refresher training to core trainer, similar situation to community training.

3. Main targets and achievements - 1 1. Increased WSP development and implementation and improved water safety practices 2. WSP approaches will become an integral part of policies and institutional frameworks

4. Main targets and achievements - 2 3. There will be continued advocacy and mobilization of resources to support infrastructure improvements identified through a WSP 4. Resources and tools will be developed to support WSP

5. Challenges • Turn over staff including high level decision maker. • Consider only point of consumption is necessary for improvement. • Capacity of core trainer group is limited. • Process needs to proceed gradually step-by-step-routine support, monitoring and follow-up.

6. Challenges • It is often seen as big burden for infrastructure improvement. • Involve so many stakeholders and need strategic coordination (e.g source protection, community led adoption WSP) • Water utilities have limited capacity to influence issues affecting water source and distribution systems.

7. Lessons learnt • Water Safety Plan process must be link to related activities by others partners (e.g WSP-WB support capacity building on system management, WQ training, JICA/ADB support development of infrastructure and SOP). • Promotion of Rural WSP has led to broader behaviour change for sanitation/hygiene practices (e.g family build latrine, relocate latrine, cleaning up around water source as well as household compound). • Local authority can play leading role in mobilizing human and financial resources for WASH improvement. • Multi-stakeholder coordination needed to address catchments level issues. • Importance of identifying and utilizing national technical resources for capacity building. • Utilising ‘seeing-is-believing’ water testing kits effectively motivates behaviour change (e.g H2S testing kit)
