In-depth Look at Water

www.developpakistan.org

The Big Picture - Global

13Sources: WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation. (2012); World Health

Organization (WHO). (2008). Safer Water, Better Health: Costs, benefits, and sustainability of interventions to protect

and promote health; Water.org| Sources: WaterAid.org, http://www.wateraid.org/where-we-work/page/pakistan

• About 800 million people in the world lack access to clean drinking water; that’s 1 in every 9 of us

• 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation facilities; that’s 1 in every 3 of us

• 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes. Nearly all deaths [99%]

occur in the developing world

• Women all over the world spend 200 million hours a year collecting water

• 16 million people lack access to clean drinking water [some reports estimate the # to be as high as 40M]

• Over 93 million people do not have access to adequate sanitation facilities

• ~ 200,000 children die each year from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation in Pakistan

In Pakistan

The Big Picture – The Urgency to Invest

14Sources: Facts and Figures, Water, Sanitation & Health, WHO

Clean water alone can reduce water related

deaths by 21%

Sanitation alone can reduce water related

deaths by 37.5%

Hand washing alone can reduce water related

deaths by 35%

► GoalOur goal is to provide convenient access to clean drinking water

• Water quality above globally accepted standards

• Water access without excessive hardship to women and children

► Our evaluation is focused on ensuring technical feasibility,

community adoption, sustainability and low cost • Proven solutions

• Unfettered community access

• Low cost per beneficiary

• Long useful life / simple maintenance needs

• Community investment

• Partner with experience and local presence

Public Schools

► SOS • Founded: 1980s

• SOS runs the Rural Support Program(RSP) as well as the Herman Gmeiner Schools (HGS) to cater to

different segments of the population. It functions across 13 cities in Punjab, AJK and Baluchistan. It currently

reaches out to approximately 10,000 students

• Financial Sustainability: SOS charges fees to cover its operating costs, making the schools self sufficient.

While for RSP schools these may fall between PKR 400-500, for HGS these can go up to PKR 1,200

• Quality: 100% of teachers in HGS and 90% in RSP schools have BA degrees or above. 87% students

received 1st division in Matric from the Sindh Chapter. Attendance rates are close to 90% for both students

and teachers and survival rates to secondary school are also high

Updates and Management

Volunteer Management

30

► Statistics• Total# of Volunteer Signups in 2014: 136• Total# of Volunteer Signups in 2013: 63• Total# of PTMs promoted to PTLs (this

quarter): 4• Total# of new signups staffed on project

evaluation: 13

► Communication and Recruitment• More direct calls with volunteers and

arranging casual gatherings (within Lahore) to improve communication, creating a better relationship between them and ADP.

• An unofficial partnership with LUMS has created a ground for recruiting more good quality volunteers with higher potential for being part of evaluation

► Increased Opportunities• Volunteers unsuitable for project evaluation or site

visits are still being kept on record for other opportunities. Their contacts or expertise to benefit ADP in other ways.

• Volunteers already engaged with other development organizations express interest in collaborations/partnerships with ADP.

• Visits to past project sites arranged for 2014, increasing staffing of site visit volunteers

► Feedback• Inquiring constant feedback from project teams has

helped improve staffing mechanisms e.g. selecting teams within suitable time zones only.

• Questions for Net Promoter Score have been added to feedback forms. Calculation of quarterly NPS to begin at project completion.

A. Water Intervention Models

35

SOLUTION BENEFITS SUITABALITY CONCERNS PARTNER

Hand pumps Can reach a large number of beneficiaries (though

not more than 200 per pump)

Low cost per beneficiary

Minimum maintenance and repair required

Simple technology

Water fit for drinking purposes is

available at a maximum of 100 feet

No drainage/contamination issues are

prevalent

Community is comfortable and familiar

with hand pumps

Water must only be for household

consumption and not for agricultural

purposes

Hand pumps will last no more than 5-7

years (depending on maintenance,

weather conditions etc)

Can be affected by natural disasters like

floods

Can fall into disrepair if not properly

maintained

most recent ADP project:

PRDS

Water

filtration

plants

Model can be specified depending on the

particular type of contamination present

High number of beneficiaries can be reached

Constant water supply is already

available

A safe place must exist for the

installation of the filtration plants (e.g

school/office building)

Maintenance and repair

Community involvement

Complicated technology and unsuitable

for remote villages

most recent ADP project:

BDS

Rainwater

harvesting

Communities with very little access to water can

get water almost all year round

Rainwater harvesting structures (ponds) can last a

life time

Very little maintenance/repair is required

Needs of the entire village can be met

suitable in desert areas or in some cases,

in mountainous areas

access to clean drinking water is difficult

drought ridden areas

Dependence on rainfall

Risk of contamination (proper use of

filters)

Cost per beneficiary is high as compared

to other ADP projects

most recent ADP project:

SF

Solar pump on

existing dug

wells

Needs of the entire village can be met

Depends on solar energy (no energy costs

associated with the project

Solar pump can last for 20 years with minimal

maintenance and repair (hardly any costs

associated with this)

Storage tank helps store water for when pump

does not work

Areas where dug wells are present and

clean drinking water is available below

200-250 feet

An area where there is sufficient sunlight

Water in the wells must be clean

Source of water must be enough to

meet the needs of the entire village

Cost per beneficiary is high

(AWARE)

B. Education Intervention Models

36

SOLUTION BENEFITS SUITABALITY CONCERNS PARTNER

LCPS Targets marginalized communities

Affordable education (PKR <500/month)

Addresses critical gaps of demand and supply in

education. Often offers the only educational

opportunity to low income communities

Many LCPS focus heavily on female education,

Students are more likely to complete education due to

affordability

Families which can afford fee structures of PKR

<500/month or less

Operating costs are often not covered

through tuition fees, making some NGOs

donor dependent.

Educational quality is often sacrificed

The best teachers cannot be hired and

teacher training becomes costly

Educational outcomes are often lower

most recent ADP project:

Bunyad, APS

High cost,

higher quality

Families which can afford fee structures of PKR 1000-

15000

Financially sustainable model (opex covered through

tuition fees).

Often hire the best teachers (with B.A degrees or

above) and provide regular teacher training

Learning outcomes are high and often match those of

excellent institutions in the country. This means

bringing low-income groups at power with higher-

income students and giving them access to similar

opportunities and social mobility

Presence of lower middle class families Education is at risk of becoming

unaffordable if tuition fees keep rising to

cover OPEX.

Lower-income families cannot afford the

education or may choose to put one

child in school (often the male child).

The audience targeted may not be the

one in the most marginalized conditions

most recent ADP project:

MHSF

Public-private

partnership

Public sector role in education

The funding is from the public sector, the quality is of

private sector level.

Improves quality of education in government schools

Red tape; delays in approvals

Teacher tenure means they cannot be

held accountable

NGOs often have minimal say in decision

making thereby making their role

insignificant in some areas

most recent ADP project:

PEN/FDO

Informal

schools

Can target marginalized communities, especially victims

of terrorism, refugees and other vulnerable

communities who have been displaced

Often a useful strategy for first generation school going

Problems with standardization and

structure

Difficulty with M&E
