  3. Background

  4. Monte Verde,, Nicaragua

  5. Nation – Nicaragua District – Matagalpa Municipality – Terrabona Comarca (Group of Villages) – Payacuca Village – Monte Verde Geographic Structure

  6. Population: 5.6 million (July 2011) Life expectancy: 71.9 years Probability of dying before 5 years old: 26/1000 live births Population below poverty line: 48% Literacy: 67.2% Access to improved water source: 85% Nicaragua Demographics

  7. Population: 720 Households: 129 Literacy: 54% Households without electricity: 121 Households without access to improved water source: 80 Households without improved sanitation: 54 Monte Verde Demographics

  8. Organizations in the community • World Vision distributed ceramic filters to families with children in school • El Porvenirhas completed an appraisal and has active presence in the community • FISE built 70 latrines in 2005 • ENACAL promised to dig a well, but has not done so

  9. Community collects drinking water from • small unprotected springs • the creek • rain water • During the dry season • creek and springs dry out • women walk 2km to get water from the neighboring community (La Pita), or • water is trucked in by the local government Review of Existing Data

  10. Preparing for Participatory Appraisal

  11. Team Member Matrix

  12. Contributions

  13. Interest Group Matrix

  14. Analysis of Appraisal Results

  15. SWOC Analysis

  16. Vulnerability Analysis

  17. Lack of access to clean water Incomplete education Lack of access to improved sanitation Key Concerns

  18. Key Concerns-Weighted Analysis

  19. Provide consistent access to clean water for the community of Monte Verde to improve quality of life Identified Objective

  20. Reduced quality of life Increased money spent on medical care Less capital growth No development projects Less productivity Less skilled labor Hygiene-related diseases Lost time collecting water Lost work & school days Community is less empowered Need to walk far for water Poor hygiene Water related diseases Lack of access to clean water Water sources are polluted Lack of water No distribution system Lack of treatment Nicaragua Problem Tree Not enough sanitation systems No protection of surface water sources No ground-water collection No rainwater collection No money for infrastructure Poor education Lack of community organization Springs dry up in summer No govt regulation Lack of land ownership Lack of road infrastructure Lack of $ to pay teachers No community empowerment Lack of income Lack of job creation

  21. Four Main roots Lack of access to clean water Lack of water Water sources are polluted No distribution system Lack of treatment Nicaragua Problem Tree Not enough sanitation systems No protection of surface water sources No ground-water collection No rainwater collection No money for infrastructure Poor education Lack of community organization Springs dry up in summer No govt regulation Lack of land ownership Lack of road infrastructure Lack of $ to pay teachers No community empowerment Lack of income Lack of job creation

  22. Improved agriculture Community well being More income Improved education More skilled labor More productivity More development projects Ability to attend school & work Less spending on medical care Less travel time Community empowerment Improved health Improved hygiene Less distance to water Access to clean water Clean water sources Water availability Distribution system Treatment Protection of surface water sources Full sanitation coverage Rainwater collection Money for infrastructure Wells Poor education Govt enforcement Community organization Land ownership Road infrastructure Money to pay teachers Community empowerment Money Job creation

  23. Rainwater Catchment System • Treatment: Filtration and Chlorination • Drill Deep Wells • Treatment: None or Chlorination • Spring Water Storage and Distribution System • Treatment: None or Chlorination Solution Ideas from PAR Results

  24. Determines which solution would work best for Monte Verde. • ROC Method • Determine a list of factors that are of concern • Assign a value to every factor for each alternative • Rank the factors in order of importance • Calculate and analyze results Decision Analysis: Rank Order Centroid (ROC) Method

  25. ROC Matrix

  26. ROC Results According to the ROC results, deep wells provide the best overall solution.

  27. Shows the community relationships from a systems perspective. How would the installation of a new well impact Monte Verde? Stella Model

  28. Stella Model

  29. Stella Model Results Current situation. People lose access to water during the dry season. Simulation ran over a three month time period.

  30. Stella Model Results Well installed. People have access to clean water through the dry season. Simulation ran over a three month time period.

  31. Feasibility Matrix Jim Problem, Group, Action Feasibility Matrix

  32. Logical framework

  33. Logical Framework

  34. Closing thoughts

  35. The right to water is the right of everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable, and physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses. (UN, November 2002) The UN reconfirmed Right to Water and for the first time Right to Sanitation. They are essential to the realization of all human rights. (UN, July 2010) Rights-Based Analysis

  36. Benefit - We are addressing one of the communities’ human needs. As part of the Key-Concerns Weighted Analysis, the community identified access to potable water as one of their top three concerns. • Benefit/Harm The construction of a well has the opportunity to supply the community with water for years. We want to come up with a sustainable well design; otherwise, we could harm the community by giving them false hope and delaying meeting this important need in their community. Benefit/Harm Analysis

  37. Inequality– The goal is to meet the community’s need for safe water, but we risk creating inequality if we do not provide potable water for the entire community. Inclusivity - A benefit of the project is to provide everyone a chance to contribute to the well-being of their community. Our appraisal attempts to include all representative groups. Benefit/Harm Analysis

  38. Capacity and risk analysis Detailed solution design Detailed implementation plan of activities Monitoring and evaluation Exit strategy Next Steps
