  1. Global Assessment and Analysis of Sanitation and Drinking Water (GLASS)Ghana Process Briefing and Launch12th Sept, 2013 Coconut Grove Hotel Accra

  2. Outline Background of UN-Water GLAAS Highlights of 2012 GLAAS Report Features of GLAAS Significance of GLAAS Survey Composition GLAAS Process Methodology Key deliverables Conclusion

  3. UN-Water GLAAS: Background • GLASS is a UN-Water initiative that collates a comprehensive overview of data aimed at determining factors that are constraining or enabling progress towards meeting the MDG target for sanitation and drinking-water. • Monitors global inputs and self-assessed national capacities to deliver sanitation and drinking-water services. • Major objective is to identify drivers and bottlenecks to progress towards MDG/national targets and to serve as a repository of global data for decision-makers (e.g. Sanitation and Water for All) • Considers both donor and country strategies + action on WASH • Initiative implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO). • Report produced every 2 years by WHO • First assessment report was released in 2010, the second in 2012 and this assessment to be released in 2014. • WSA to facilitate process in 20 countries including Ghana

  4. Highlights of 2012 GLAAS Report • GLAAS 2012 report included 74 developing countries and all major donors • Report highlighted: • low capacity of many governments to spend the limited resources allocated to WASH; • challenge of extending and sustaining coverage; • lack of focus on managing WASH assets; and • re-emphasized lack of robust data, particularly on financial flows to WASH

  5. Features of GLAAS • Measurement of trends • Benchmarking between countries • Catalyzes in-country monitoring • Link to global platform, the SWA HLM • Monitors both developing countries and donors • Complements and does not compete with JMP • Highlights data gaps 5

  6. Significance of GLAAS • GLAAS is a sister report to the JMP - GLAAS monitors inputs and the enabling environment JMP monitors sector outcomes • GLAAS provides a regular (biennial) global update, complementing the JMP • GLAAS is an instrument used by Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) to: • provide the evidence for the biennial HLMs • help countries prepare their WASH country profiles for the HLM

  7. Quick Landscape for monitoring WASH Inputs and Sector Processes Global Regional National UN-Water GLAAS UNICEF WASH-BAT AMCOW Monitoring Sector monitoring Joint sector reviews Outcomes WHO/UNICEF JMP Household surveys Census

  8. Survey Composition: Main sections of questionnaire • 1. Section A: Governance • Rationale: • Targets and measures in policies and plans for the provision and sustainability of WASH services including for disadvantaged groups; • Levels of implementation of policies and plans • Coordination between actors • Participation and transparency; during planning stage and complaint mechanisms • 2. Section B: Monitoring • Rationale: • Sector review existence and impacts • Surveillance • Availability and use of data • Key indicators used in monitoring

  9. Continuation.................. • 3. Section C: Human resources • Rationale • Existence of HR strategy; • Limitations on WASH sector due to HR; • Constraints to HR capacity. • 4. Section D: Financing • The aim is to understand bottlenecks in financing, which may not necessarily be related to availability of funds • Rationale: • Content and implementation of financing plan • Provisions for sustainability and cost-recovery • Provisions for disadvantaged groups • Allocation and reporting • Absorption and sufficiency

  10. GLAAS Process methodology Notification of government to provide leadership Nomination of a national focal person Face to face discussions with relevant agencies Questionnaire distribution through focal person to relevant key Agencies Complete a draft questionnaire Final draft data collection completed National validation workshop Final completed questionnaire submitted to sector Minister for approval Submit through WSA HQ to WHO HQ

  11. Key Deliverables Completed survey form Signed consent form Process report

  12. Conclusion Another opportunity is here for us to benchmark self-reported data, by working together on developing indicators and standards more relevant to our country
