Context: The Sustainability Question for Rural Water

4

• Post Construction

support- a big challenge.

• Non-functionality 30-40%

• Rural data gap

• Management

‘to think that communities can be empowered to manage fairly complex water systems no longer seems realistic. Just as it is utopian to think that the government can manage and maintain all the rural systems…’

Water Point Mapping

• Water Point Mapping (WPM) has been defined as an exercise

whereby the geographical positions of all Water Points (WPs)

are gathered in addition to management, technical and

demographical information. This information is collected using

GPS and a questionnaire at each water point locationt. The data

is entered into a geographical information system and then

correlated with available demographic, administrative, and

physical data. The information is displayed using digital maps

(Water Aid, 2005).

Mandated Institutions - Why Water Point Mapping & After WPM

1. Evidence Based Policy and

Investment planning

2. For effective targeting

interventions (market)

3. Improved Equity and inclusion

4. Support coordination of WASH

platforms

5. Monitoring and Evaluation

• Currently making the case for

WPM in partner programme

counties;

• End Goal 1 – Institutionalising

water point functionality

monitoring for mandated

institutions

• End Goal 2 – Develop sustainable

consumer feedback mechanisms

as part of the service delivery

approach

SNV Lessons – Challenges of WPM Process• Training and mobilisation of state and non-state actors took more time than expected

• Availability of community members to respond to some questions in the field

(Institutional memory of water projects)

• Terrain - Difficulties in accessing some areas

• Weather conditions - Heavy rains and flooding in some areas caused delay, some days

were not covered within the short time frame

• Community engagement - Lack of willingness to participate and community members

being unaware of the exercise or expecting some financial gains before volunteering

some information

• Security- A number of the areas are still riddled with high insecurity and cannot be

accessed

• Development of sustainable updating mechanism for the data uptake

Some WPM Indicators

• Funded by (Whom/Year)

• Improved or Unimproved

• Length of time non-functional

• Reason for non-functionality

• Ownership

• Registered Service Provider ( through what means)

• Management Committee (In Place? By laws? Election process?)

• Number of women in management committee

• Estimated No of people served

• Quality standards assessment (Bacteriological, distance,

sufficient quantities etc.)

Results of WP Mapping

3 June 2015Northern Water Services Board

11

• The WPM process in Isiolo County began on 22nd May, 2013 andwas carried out for a period of 30 days by 2 teams.

• A total of 267 water sources (229 WPs and 38 piped schemes)mainly within Central and Oldonyiro Divisions

• 75% of all mapped water sources are improved while 25% areunimproved

• The rest of this presentation only concerns the mapped points

Page 12: 10212014 KEWASNET SNV WPM RESULTS PRESENTATION - ISIOLO

Functionality Status• Of the mapped points from improved sources, 61%

are functional while the rest, about 39% are non-

functional.

Maintenance of WPs

• From the mapped points, the largest proportion at

31% of WP are not maintained at all and were at

extreme risk of becoming non-functional.

• In 8% of the cases it was not clear if routine

maintenance takes place.

Management of WPs

• CBOs play a significant role in the management of WPs

accounting for 41% of all improved WPs. Private individual

manage 25% while 27% of WPs had no management system

in place according to respondents

• Raises questions on the responsibility and accountability for

service delivery

Payment for water use

• Majority (58%) of WPs mapped supply water without

requiring any payment for the services.

WPM Findings - Systemic Issues of Non-Functionality

• Lack of Clear ownership structure

• Availability of easy money to run Water Operations (“Market distortion”)

• A lack of credible Governance & Management Practices

• Leaders place Personal Interests above communal interests

• Low Willingness to Pay for service and Contribute to Project development

• Poor attitude towards routine Maintenance

• Unregulated Service provision

• Expertise not available at Community for Operations and Maintenance

Page 17: 10212014 KEWASNET SNV WPM RESULTS PRESENTATION - ISIOLO

WAY FORWARD

• Despite the challenges, the data from the exercise holds

valuable information for stakeholders on systemic issues and

best practices in management and operations of RWSS

• SNV is engaging stakeholders to leverage national and

development partner resources to update and upscale Water

Point Mapping (institutionalization, consumer feedback etc.)

• Policy and advocacy – The value of combining evidence and

collaboration to address issues of accountability (County WASH

Platform tool)
