FIETS checklist Sustainability framework

Policy rules on sustainability (FIETS) • Financial: Local resources and business

case

• Institutional: Local public sector responsibility, stakeholders involvement

• Environmental: integral approach, ‘do good’, climate adaptation and mitigation

• Technical: sustainable O&M and monitoring

• Social: inclusive, gender responsive, involvement and engagement

FIETS checklist – Financial criteria

Financial

• Cost/revenue model: commercially viable (7 years)

FDW12 & FDW14 FDW16

Aim for a substantial local contribution

Mobilise domestic resources as much as possible for long term financing of the intervention (e.g. tariffs, taxes, stimulating the enabling environment)

(Dutch and local) small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s) should play a significant role in the projects

Aim for a substantial local contribution, especially from the private sector

Make sure that the products/services can be delivered after the project period

It should be clear how and by whom the business case/ project results (provision of services/ products) will be financially sustained after project conclusion

The business case is based on a thorough analysis (e.g. of the willingness to pay or a market study).

FIETS checklist – Institutional criteria FDW 12 & FDW14 FDW16

Provide a solid stakeholder assessment (possible conflict of interest).

Provide a solid stakeholder assessment (consider water usage in other sectors, such as agriculture and industry). Which institution(s) and or organisation(s) will be responsible and how and with what other organisations they will work together to maintain the business case/ project results (provision of services/ products) after project conclusion.

Accountability, responsibility and transparency

Capacity building of the local partners is to ensure the sustainable delivery of services and products

The local public sector plays a key role in the PPP. As ‘duty bearer’ for water related services the sector is capacitated to sustain its role ( in terms of policy, regulation and oversight, and its duty to ensure transparency)

A compact agreement between the PPP consortium members clarifies the roles and responsibilities after the project period.

FIETS checklist – Environmental criteria FDW 12 & FDW14 FDW16

The project should not have detrimental environmental effects, including climate change

Projects are expected to make a positive contribution to sustainable use of scarce natural resources and reduce waste and pollution (IWRM context).

The project should take into account the (predicted) effects of climate change on the water situation in the region. The project approach should be adaptable to those effects and not contribute to further degradation.

It should be clear how a potential negative impact of the business case/project and its results (products and services) on the natural environment will be avoided or mitigated. It should be clear how the business case/ project and its results (products and services) are adaptive to the potential effects of climate change. If applicable, it should be clear how the project/ business case will contribute to maintaining or improving the natural environment (including the sustainability of the water source) during and beyond project implementation.

FIETS checklist – Technical criteria FDW 12 & FDW14 FDW16

The installed infrastructure remains operational beyond the project period

It should be clear how and by whom the installed infrastructure of technologies will be operated, maintained and monitored during and after project implementation (mandatory sustainability indicator)

FIETS checklist – Social criteria FDW 12 & FDW14 FDW16

The project takes into account the specific needs of women, vulnerable groups and the poorest in society

The project is inclusive based on a thorough analysis. Take into account specific needs of women, vulnerable groups and the poorest in society.

Make clear how the business case/project (products and services) responds to the needs of particular social groups. Take into account social values, human right and negative impact on other social groups, during and after project implementation.

The project is gender responsive: - A gender analysis is an integral part of the context and problem analysis of the project. o The project stimulates involvement of women in decision making, planning and project implementation.. o The project contributes to the economic and social empowerment of women. o Water Sanitation and Hygiene projects integrate where possible menstrual hygiene management.

Policy rules on measurement

• Mandatory indicators (see Annex 2 Policy Rules)

• Key performance indicators (see Annex 6 Application Forms)

• Project specific indicators

• Sustainability indicators (result and progress based) – see guidance notes sustainability framework

The annual report has to describe the project-related environmental/climate aspects,

intervention measures and possible quantitative results in reducing negative

environmental impacts, mitigating greenhouse gases and/or adapting to climate

change that will contribute to climate resilience. At time of application no description

or further detailing is required.

qualitative

The annual report has to provide insight into the progress towards securing local

financing, [e.g. PES/public contribution/ introduction of taxes]. At time of application

no description or further detailing is required.

The annual report has to provide a description of the progress towards securing local

financing for business cases. The progress on the financial sustainability should

indicate the revenue generated versus the costs incurred and the progress towards

reaching a break-even. At time of application no description or further detailing is

required.
