1. Introduction

In Nigeria, the water and sanitation sector is highly underdeveloped with very limited

infrastructure. The 2006 population census estimated the Nigerian population to be

approximately 140 million, of which 75% is rural based with the majority still lacking

access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.

The provision of basic water supply and sanitation infrastructure including piped water,

boreholes, and latrine facilities; point of use water disinfection; and improved sanitation

and hygiene practices have been identified as focus areas to facilitate improved access to

safe drinking water and a reduction in morbidity and mortality due to water borne

illnesses.

2. Project Description

2.1 Enugu State Situation Analysis

Enugu State is located in southeastern Nigeria with a population of about 3.2 million

people. The state has 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and is predominantly rural and

agrarian, with a substantial proportion of its working population engaged in farming.

Figure 1: Enugu State and its Local Government Areas

Currently, most communities rely upon distant and contaminated water sources with only

37.8% of the population using improved sources of drinking water. The peculiar rocky

terrain and the low level of the aquifer of a good number of the communities in the state

are major obstacles to the provision of water infrastructure and the drilling of boreholes

in the state. With regard to disposal of excreta, approximately 38.9% of households

utilize sanitary means of excreta disposal. The percentage of household population using

improved sources of drinking water and also utilizing sanitary means of excreta disposal

is very low at just 11.5% (Water Aid Analysis 2005).

2.2. Goal and Objectives

The overall goal of this project is to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity

from waterborne and sanitation-related illnesses in Nkanu East Local Government Area

of Enugu State. Through these efforts, the Society for Family Health (SFH) will

contribute to the overall Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving the

proportion of people who have no sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic

sanitation in specified communities within the state.

Nkanu East Local Government area was selected due to the following reasons:

The LGA possesses a functional Water and Environmental Sanitation Unit

(WES). Setting up a WES unit in a Local Government and bringing it to a full

functional capacity takes about one year and is capital intensive. The short

duration of the project (18 months) and budget limitations makes it imperative

that an LGA with a functional WES unit be selected.

Nkanu East also possesses a favorable geographical terrain which will enable the

construction of shallow boreholes, which is less capital intensive and will ensure

quick and easy access to potable water.

Presence of other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in water and

sanitation programming will facilitate coordination of WADA’s efforts with that

of the other NGOs, contributing to the sustainability of the project.

SFH intends to show significant health impact by implementing community and school-

based water and sanitation programmes in three schools and three communities in Nkanu

East Local Government Area (LGA) of Enugu State by:

Increasing community access to improved water sources by the drilling of

boreholes in selected communities.

Increasing community access to basic sanitation hygiene by the construction of

latrines in selected communities.

Strengthening, where appropriate, community-based structures to ensure

community ownership and sustainability of the project.

Improving household hygiene and water quality thereby reducing diarrhea and

other waterborne illnesses by the promotion and distribution of affordable point-

of-use water disinfectant products (WaterGuard and/or PUR) in the communities.

Increasing access of school children to improved hygiene and sanitation facilities

by the construction of culturally appropriate school latrines.

Increasing access to improved water sources by drilling boreholes in selected

schools.

Establishing school health programs to promote basic sanitation and hygiene

behaviors with focus on children as agents of change in their homes and

communities.

2.3. Expected Results and Impact

2.3.1 Increasing access to improved water sources to the poorest and most

vulnerable in the project communities

The targeted rural communities will be supported to plan, install, own and manage

potable water schemes as well as improved sanitation facilities. The project will support

selected communities to establish baseline inventory of water and sanitation

infrastructure so as to generate benchmark information on which progress evaluation will

be made upon completion of the project. This will provide the basis for measuring

program impact and also inform future investment. Geographical Positioning System

(GPS) data will be used at the baseline and at the end of the project to produce maps of

water infrastructure in the project areas. This will aid effective record keeping and assist

the project LGA in future planning for the sector.

In addition, the project will adopt the Safe Water System (SWS), a household-based

water quality intervention developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Pan

American Health Organization (PAHO), and the World Health Organization (WHO) to

prevent mortality and morbidity associated with diarrhea. It employs simple, robust

technologies appropriate for the developing world and entails the following:-

Treatment of contaminated water at point-of-use, typically in the home with an

appropriate water disinfectant or method.

Promotion of water storage in clean containers with narrow mouths to prevent

recontamination.

Incorporation of behavioral change techniques, including social marketing and

community-based education.

The SWS uses a sodium hypochlorite solution and has been evaluated through field

research by the CDC in South America, Africa (including Nigeria), and Asia. Consistent

use of SWS among PLWHAs has been shown to reduce diarrhea incidence by 53.5%

(ICASA 2005). The SWS provides families with the means to decontaminate their

drinking water supply and is an empowering intervention that improves household water

security.

2.3.2 Prioritizing hygiene and sanitation in the project communities

The primary community focus for the project will be Behavior Change Communication

(BCC). The BCC strategy will focus on promotion of appropriate hygiene and sanitation

(including hand washing) as a means of triggering awareness in the community and

building a commitment to improved personal hygiene and safe excreta disposal. The

project will work with the existing Water and Environmental Sanitation (WES) unit in the

LGA to establish the Water and Sanitation Committee (WASCOM).

Lessons learned will be shared with relevant stakeholders to influence policy reform as

well as to promote and maintain effective strategies for community improved water and

sanitation practices within the community.

The WES unit mechanism is in line with the National Water and Sanitation Policy of

2000 which states that the coordination of WATSAN activities is under the office of the

local.

Successes of the WES mechanism

Promotes community participation, a great sense of ownership and pride for the

project

Enhances project sustainability

WES units support and monitor the activities of the project in the community and

ensures participatory evaluation of the project

Serves as a mechanism for the promotion of responsiveness and accountability in

water sanitation and hygiene issues

WES supports the communities to keep record of the project’s activities and thus

enabling replication of project strategies for other project within the community as

well as other neighboring communities

Challenges of the WES Mechanism

Most LGAs have difficulties providing the counterpart funds needed to maintain

the WES schemes in the local government.

Identifying and engaging capable contractors transparently from within the state

Poor coordination between relevant agencies and sectors in Water and sanitation

within the States and local Governments

Human resource capacity problems – capacity Gaps within the Local Government

makes it

Unstable political climates leading to changes in the local government leadership

pose hurdles to the smooth implementation of the project

Indiscriminate transfer of trained WES staff to other LGAs and Units

2.3.3 Increased ownership of projects by the target beneficiaries leading to

sustainability

To ensure project sustainability, community institutions and management structures will

be put in place. Water and Environmental Sanitation Committees (WASCOMs) will be

set up in each selected community. These committees will guide and oversee project

implementation within the community. Communities will take the lead in all decisions

regarding the project and local hygiene promotion. Volunteers, masons and mechanics

for sanitation promotion and equipment repairs will be trained for the setup and the

maintenance of the water and sanitation project.

2.4 Linkages to USAID and other TCCC Programs and Objectives

- In 2005, SFH in collaboration with CDC documented the effectiveness of

WaterGuard (SWS) in the reduction of diarrhea among people living with AIDS

by 57%. This has led to the inclusion of SWS as part of the care and support for

PLWHAs. Currently, SFH is implementing a USAID – PEPFAR funded project

that includes provision of WaterGuard, storage vessels, IEC materials, Long

Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and the training of implementing partners on

SWS and malaria prevention.

- In 2008 Proctor and Gamble provided funds for the promotion and distribution of

PUR a water disinfectant as well as the support school health programs in

designated states.( Lagos, Enugu, Oyo, Benue, Adamawa and Edo states)

- SFH is collaborating with the Nigerian Government and key stakeholders to

finalize the national policy on water and sanitation.

- The project plan aligns with two objectives of the Water and Development

Alliance (WADA) namely The Water Supply and Sanitation Services Objective

and the Health and Hygiene Promotion Objective.

2.5 Technical Approach

To ensure program success, the following approaches will be carried out based on

existing best practices:

2.5.1 Sensitization and self-selection of communities.

The selection of specific project communities and the type of water and sanitation

facilities to be supported will be based on the Demand Response Approach (DRA) and

will be overseen by the Water and Environmental Sanitation (WES) unit of the LGA.

The WES unit will work with influencers, community leaders and other key stake holders

to sensitize them to apply for the project.

The criteria for the selection of the project communities will be decided by SFH in

collaboration with the WES unit of the local government and the Enugu state rural water

and sanitation agency (ENRUWASSA). The criteria for selection will include community

readiness to provide an in-kind contribution such as community labor for construction,

provision of materials, supervision and monitoring of project by the LGA and the

WASCOM and the existence of a school.

Each applicant community will be scored against the pre-determined criteria and the best

two communities based on these criteria will be selected. Community need for water,

readiness of the community to support the project, security of infrastructure provided and

willingness to provide sanitation volunteers. All determined criteria will be ranked and

assigned scores based on their priority to the project. Community need for water and the

presence of a school will be given greatest priority for the project.

2.5.2 Baseline Research

Baseline research will enable a broad understanding of the current water and sanitation

situation as well as existing practices within the target communities. SFH will work with

the local government and communities to collect and analyze data through physical

inventory, focus group discussions, Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) surveys,

availability and use of water treatment products, and collection of geographical

coordinates of water and sanitation facilities within the communities. Training sessions

will be provided for the Water and Environmental Sanitation Committee (WASCOM)

and the WES unit of the LGA, as well as the enumerators for collection and analysis of

baseline data using participatory techniques and observation. The baseline survey will

aid the establishment of a more detailed monitoring system for the project.

2.5.3 Prioritization of household hygiene and sanitation in project communities

Monthly communication campaigns will be held in each of the project communities for

the first few months of the intervention to sensitize the community on basic hygiene and

sanitation practices. Participatory Behavior Change Communication methodologies

including Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and peer education techniques will be

utilized by the project. Key drivers of behavior change, such as community leaders,

opinion leaders, religious leaders and children, will be particularly targeted.

Community Access to Safe Portable Water

Two communities in Nkanu East local government area will benefit directly from the

project. New boreholes will be constructed. Each community will be supported to drill

and construct shallow boreholes fitted with Mark IV hand pumps. Two shallow

boreholes will be provided in each community.

Water obtained from sources outside the home will require collection, transport to and

storage in the home, each step of which entails increased risk of contamination. In order

to ensure that households are consuming water safe from contaminants, Inter Personal

Communication (IPC) techniques will be used at the community level to promote the safe

water system focusing on water collection, appropriate storage, treatment and basic

hygiene practices. SFH has a robust distribution network with 24 detailers and 9 sales

representatives in 16 regions of the country including Enugu state and the project will

leverage on this existing network to establish and strengthen the promotion and

distribution of low cost water disinfectants in retail outlets (Pharmacy shops, patent

medicine stores, provision shops) as appropriate in the target communities. This will be

achieved through detailing support, point of sale materials and radio jingles to support

appropriate treatment of water at the point of use. The point of use water disinfectant-

PUR will be sold at the cost of $0.083 per sachet (If market forces remain stable).

Community Sanitation

Household latrine construction will be promoted using the Community Led Total

Sanitation (CLTS) approach. This approach aims at igniting self demand for facilities to

safely dispose of excreta in the household. The community will analyze their own

sanitation profile and work collectively to improve the sanitation situation in the

community. This initiative triggers real behavior change leading to households building

their latrines with no external support in form of subsidies. The project will support the

communities to build communal latrines and encourage safe disposal of feaces in homes.

It is expected that the project will provide 90% of the cost while the community efforts

and commitments will amount to about 10%. The benefiting communities will also serve

as role models to influence other neighbouring communities in the LGA to adopt

healthier sanitation practices.

The project will provide the initial cost of the sample latrine technologies for the sani-

center and also train the sani center operator. It is expected that the sample will be

available for inspection and subsequent procurement by community members at an

affordable price. WASCOM will monitor the quality and price of the slabs in the sani

center. A range of technologies for excreta disposal will be demonstrated and made

available within the communities, thereby offering affordable alternatives for every

household. New designs of water and sanitation facilities will be developed based on

inclusive design principles that are user-friendly for the widest possible range of users in

selected communities including women, children, the disabled and the elderly. Examples

include Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrines and Dome slabs.

Each target community will be supported to construct sex segregated public latrines each

of which with five compartments. The project will construct these very close to motor

parks, markets or village squares as dictated by community needs.

SFH and the WES unit will support the WASCOM in each community to set up a

management system for the public latrines within the community. WASCOM will

coordinate and oversee the management of the public latrines and this includes- selection

of Care takers, fee collection, maintenance and cleaning.

School Program

The school-based approach to hygiene and sanitation has been successful in other similar

interventions. SFH will leverage this and utilize existing methodologies to strengthen the

school-community relationship, sustain water hygiene and sanitation facilities within the

schools and communities and prepare the children as key change agents in the

community.

School-based Safe Water System (SWS) and sanitation programs will be carried out in

one school in each community. The SWS program uses a multi-pronged approach

focusing on distribution of water disinfectants, such as PUR and Waterguard, promotion

of appropriate water storage techniques, i.e., small mouthed lidded containers, as well as

behavior change communication to promote improved personal hygiene with emphasis

on hand washing and environmental hygiene practices. It is expected that each

community will have a primary and/or secondary school and one or the other of these will

be used for project implementation within the community. Boreholes will be provided in

selected schools depending on the possibilities of the school. Daily water treatment will

be carried out by the children in all the classes in each school to prevent diarrhea

incidence as a result of receiving contaminated water during the school hours and

improve school absenteeism and overall health of the children.

Culturally appropriate sex-segregated latrines will be provided in the project schools

located within the target communities. .

School hygiene clubs will be established and basic sanitation and hygiene practices will

be promoted within the schools to strengthen the school/community relationship, sustain

water hygiene and sanitation facilities in the schools and communities, and enhance

leadership skills of the children. Information leaflets and brochures on sanitation and

hygiene practices will be provided in the schools.

2.6 Gender Consideration and Action Plan

Water collection is one of the most physically demanding and time consuming of

household tasks and, in most homes in the eastern part of Nigeria, this responsibility falls

to females. As a result of the project, women and girls’ time will be saved in collecting

water. There is evidence to show that women use some of the saved time to rest more

and spend more time with their family, but it is anticipated that some of the time saved

will also be spent on more productive activities. In the case of young girls, increased

school attendance is expected due to reduction in the amount of time spent on collection

of water as well as reduction in school absenteeism due to water and sanitation borne

illnesses. The project will ensure the inclusion of at least one woman leader in the

WASCOM in each community. Key women groups within the community will be

actively involved in the implementation of the BCC components of the program as peer

educators and community mobilizers

2.7 Environmental Review Form and Mitigation Plan,

See ERF document under separate cover.

2.8 Sustainability Consideration

To guarantee the project’s sustainability, the design has incorporated deliberate steps to

ensure the continuity of the activities and functionality of the facilities provided by the

project.

Contributions of labor, finances, time and materials which the project will request that

the communities provide will ensure that the communities take ownership of both the

process and the resulting facilities.

Retail outlets for the POU water disinfectants will be established within the project

communities and linked onto SFH’s distribution network to ensure continued

availability and access to the POU water disinfectants.

In line with the National Water and Sanitation Policy (NWSP 2000) and the decision

of the 2005 National Council on Water Resources, the project will be coordinated by

the WES unit/Heath Department in Nkanu East Local Government Area. The WES

unit will coordinate the community self selection process, build the capacity of the

community members, ensure the execution of projects within the communities and

monitor and evaluate project to ensure proper and effective execution and service

delivery.

An LGA management committee will also be set up to review the progress of the

project in each LGA. The committee will be comprised of a member from the LGA

Head of Department, the Traditional Ruler/representative of the community, and any

other two representatives of each community selected by the coordinator of the LGA

Water and Environmental Sanitation (WES) unit and SFH.

The project will facilitate the establishment of a local Water and Environmental

Sanitation Committee (WASCOM) in each community benefitting from the project.

WASCOM will permanently manage the water and sanitation infrastructure supported

by the project, including performing routine maintenance, collecting user fees,

ensuring needed repairs are completed, ensuring the facilities are cleaned regularly,

etc.

The project will also identify through a competitive process four plumbers within each

of the selected communities. The plumbers will be trained by the Enugu State Water

and Sanitation Agency (ENRUWASSA) in conjunction with consultants engaged by

SFH to oversee the maintenance and operation of the water facilities. The plumbers

will be selected by the target communities and made to sign MOUs (memorandum of

understanding) with the WES unit this is to ensure that they remain in the community

after the training. The chosen plumbers will work for the community and will

constitute part of the in-kind labor contribution provided by the community to

maintain the facilities provided.

Dissemination of strategies and successes to other water and sanitation donors and

organizations, relevant state ministries, LGAs and communities to enable replication

of the strategy and sharing of lessons learned.

Opening commercial distribution channels for POU water disinfectants through

community retail outlets which will be linked to SFH’s distribution network. This will

ensure that the Water disinfectants are available and accessible within the

communities.

2.9 Implementation Schedule and Project Milestones

Attachment 1 shows the implementation schedule for the project with the proposed timelines.

3.0 Implementing Partners

The Society for Family Health (SFH) is an indigenous non-governmental organization

established in 1984. SFH is dedicated to the alleviation of poverty and suffering by

empowering the poor and vulnerable to live healthier lives. SFH possesses 16 regional

offices nationwide, including a regional office in Enugu State. Each regional office carries

out community-based health projects and Behavior Change Communications (BCC) activities

for health interventions including prevention and treatment of malaria, HIV/AIDS counseling

and testing services, HIV/AIDS prevention, and reproductive health. SFH coordinates sales

and distribution networks spanning multiple affordable health products and outlets within the

state supported by retailers and sales representatives.

SFH will engage a consultant, Mr. Francis Ogunpitan, who has assisted in the implementation

of similar projects in the Enugu State. Mr. Ogunpitan possesses past and present experience

with similar projects including; planning, monitoring and evaluating for Water Aid projects

and serving as the Programme Coordinator for Agriculture and Rural Development of the

Justice, Development and Peace Commission. Mr. Ogunpitan will oversee the

implementation of project components together with the SFH team in Enugu State. This will

include the selection of communities, the establishment of project committees, and the

identification and advocacy to the relevant stakeholders in the State. He will also facilitate

the training component.

Roles of local government and community organizations

The WES unit in the LGA will support project implementation and work with SFH to ensure

the project components are carried out effectively in each community. The WASCOM an

each community implementing the project will be involved in key decisions concerning

project implementation as well as monitoring of project activities.

4.0 Local Project Management

SFH, the primary implementing partner, will be responsible for the overall coordination and

implementation of the project components. Supervision of activities will be handled by the

SFH project coordinator in the State. The consultant engaged by SFH will provide technical

assistance in the coordination and implementation of strategies for the project. An

organizational structure showing delegation of roles and responsibilities as well as reporting

lines is shown in Figure 1 below.

A project management committee will be set up to review the progress of the project in each

LGA. The committee will meet as frequently as necessary for appropriate advisory role for

the project. The committee will be comprised of the LGA Head of Department (preferably the

health department), the traditional ruler/representative of the project communities, two

representatives as appointed by the LGA Chairman, the coordinator of the LGA WES unit

and SFH. The committee is purely advisory.

5.0 Monitoring and Evaluation

Project monitoring and evaluation will include innovative and flexible approaches to identify

appropriate corrective actions to ensure project success. As described above, a complete

baseline analysis using house hold surveys will be conducted at the beginning of the project

that will provide data on awareness of sanitation and hygiene practices, community

perception of sanitation, SWS and hygiene issues, health status of community members.

Figure 1: Proposed Organisational Structure

Ongoing data from the project on inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impacts will be measured

systematically. The environmental impacts of the project will be monitored and evaluated

using the Environmental Review Form and Mitigation Plan as a guide. Regular planning and

review meetings will be held to assess projects performance and problems. Gender specific

indices will be included to monitor the level and quality of female participation and how most

vulnerable groups are benefiting from the services provided.

The end of project evaluation will include the evaluation of changes within the communities

that are attributed to the project’s impact, Monitoring and Information System (MIS) showing

use of POU water disinfectants sold/bought within the target communities, GPS map outline

of water and sanitation points supported by the project and number of people assessing

facilities.

6.0 Proposed Outreach and Communication Plan

Communication is key to the successful implementation and sustainability of the project. To

effectively achieve behavior change, a wide range of strategies will be adopted. The key

behavior change messages for the communities will be disseminated through interpersonal

communication techniques focusing on safe excreta disposal; environmental cleanliness; and

appropriate water collection, treatment and storage for improved health for the family. Peer

education techniques targeting opinion leaders, traditional heads and religious leaders will

also be used. The community will take ownership of the project through constant dialogue

and discourse with key stakeholders within the community. They will identify and engage the

services of volunteers for various tasks i.e. security, plumbers, collection of special levies and

preside over disputes. Based on the awareness generated by the project, the community will

advocate to the state, local government and private individual for additional resources and

services to further improve community sanitation and hygiene.

In addition to the above mentioned techniques, community structures will be established to

monitor and document project progress. The transfer of skills and knowledge through

training of relevant methodologies and strategies for the selected LGA and WASCOM of

benefitting communities will be carried out through the following:

Forming community water and sanitation committees to disseminate important

messages to the community on the project.

Transforming knowledge and skills through on-the-job-training in the schools and

communities.

Establishing a project management committee to manage the progress of the project as

well as to evaluate and track project success.

Producing and printing various information and training materials, i.e., brochures,

leaflets, wall paintings, and IPC manuals for peer education to distribute within the

project communities.

Preparing a case study document upon completion of the project presenting the

projects strategies and successes.
