Guideline for Developing Water & EnvironmentalSanitation Improvement (WESI) Plan

- Kabir Rajbhandari,Programme Manager (urban), WaterAid Nepal

1. Background:The current global trend of urbanization is creating a pressure on Nepals eco-

system. Nepal is also struggling with the most rapid urbanization trend in the

South Asian Sub-continent with approximately 15% of its total population livingin 58 designated urban areas. This is expected to reach 23% by 2016 as the

urban population is increasing at 6.6% per annum reflecting both an increase inmigration to towns as an escape from rural poverty, conflict and the

reclassification of emerging towns from villages to municipalities.

Falling water tables, surface and groundwater pollution and growing andcompeting demands on limited water resources have emerged as challenges inthe effective provision of water and sanitation facilities in Nepal. Combined with

the broad-scale impacts of urbanization and climate change, poor communities

have become increasingly vulnerable to water scarcity, water borne diseases andsocial exclusion from access to water. Many of these challenges result from thehistoric precedence of a sub-sector approach to water management in Nepal that

does not address the interconnectedness of different users and managers of

water at the community level.

Recognizing the present trend of countrys urbanization, there is a huge gap

between demand and supply of water and sanitation services. The present waterand sanitation situation in Nepal indicates the coverage only about 76% and 46%

of total population respectively, which is still debatable when looked from thepoint of serviceability including accessibility, reliability and sustainability. The

scale of the problem is further illustrated by the present achievement made bythe country to meet MDG targets, particularly sanitation. Drinking water is

always the obvious priority of people and recently sanitation has gained some

interest at government as well as local level due to lagging behind in achievingMDG targets compared to water targets. However, in both cases the scope hasbeen narrowed to drinking water and toilet facilities. The MDG targets of

sanitation are measured in terms of toilet facilities. The in-house sanitation, the

neighbourhood environmental sanitation and management of waste water has

not yet gained adequate attention, besides other uses of water.

While WaterAid Nepal (WAN) has now focussed its approach on the sustainableextraction of water within the WatSan sector with improvement in sanitation andneighbourhood environment, it is now sensed that a more holistic approach to

water resource management is required to ensure sustainability of water sources

and the resource base from which they originate. WAN has therefore placedincreased emphasis on community based water resource management while

designing water supply and sanitation programmes to help to begin to recognize


3/16

the importance of integrated approaches for responding to contemporarychallenges in managing water resources, environmental sanitation and possibly

with linkage to health and livelihood.

2. Rationale for WESI Plan and the guideline:Based on above arguments, therefore, the challenge at present is to increase the

accessibility of water and environmental sanitation facilities through a holisticconcept of integrated planning for providing access of poor and vulnerablecommunities of urban communities to safe water, affordable sanitation, improved

neighbourhood environment coupled with hygiene education and increased

understanding of community to ensure usage and sustained behaviour. Thus, toadopt integrated approach of planning under holistic concept within water and

sanitation sector; and to have cross-sectoral linkage by linking cross cuttingissues of development, an approach of developing a comprehensive plan for

addressing afore mentioned issues and challenges is required. This will help toguide service providers at the local and community level, the successful

demonstration of which will help WAN and partners to influence the entire sectorfor replication.

WAN recognizing the need of such comprehensive plan conceptualized Water

Environmental Sanitation Improvement (WESI) Plan and put forth it as a tool forpromoting its CWRM initiative as well. The approach basically incorporates thesustainability of water sources, and the environment that procures them,

increasing risk of water pollution resulting from poor wastewater management

and concerns over water quality. These challenges have manifested most notablyamong the poor, marginalized and vulnerable communities, particularly slums &squatters in urban, peri-urban and small town areas, where access to water and

sanitation is compounded by social exclusion, conflict and gender inequalities.

To prepare WESI plan as discussed above and to have its uniformity among thepartners of WAN not only in terms of the contents but also in preparing the plan

as well as in making them own by the local political bodies and sectorstakeholders, it is necessary to devise some steps so that it will help to achieve

the aim of the plan and to broaden its horizon and scope of use in this water sub-

sector as well as in other sectors too.

3. Objective of this guideline:The basic objective of this guideline is to help WANs partners develop acomprehensive plan based on existing resources and facilities being entertained

for devising future programme on service delivery in water, sanitation includingneighbourhood environment, hygiene promotion with a cross-sector linkage in

collaboration with the local community, local bodies and concerned sectorstakeholders of the programme areas. To achieve this objective, the followings

will be its specific objectives:


4/16

4

To help partners in preparing a comprehensive plan (called WESI Plan) fordelivering water, environmental sanitation and hygiene promotion (WSH)

programme based on participatory approach, inclusive approach of genderand socially excluded, under privileged and marginalized groups

To develop and strengthen partnership with local governments and otherstakeholders (sector and cross sector) for designing and implementing

WSH related programme/projects To facilitate for the development concepts for the effective management of

water resources through their sustainable use based on the needs andpriorities of the communities

To help partners in making WESI Plan owned by the local governments andby other sectors as well.

To have uniformity in WESI plan developed by partners prior interventionirrespective of differences in the programme approaches and geographicalareas

4. What is a WESI P lan?WESI Plan is an approach and attempt to address local water and sanitation

needs in comprehensive way incorporating all the sources and sinks. Therefore,this plan does not limit itself to drinking water and the water sources only.

Similarly, in sanitation it does not limit to toilet and mere toilets only. The planoversees all the resources available, intends their judicious use and prepares an

inventory of water resources of the area. In addition, it holistically plans based on

the demands and needs of the community for sanitation improvement, andhygiene promotion within the areas. Based on CWRM principles, it attempts forsustainability, community participation and local ownership in water and

sanitation issues. Collaboration with local political bodies and empowering local

users are the socio-political approach of this plan.

In general, WESI Plan is just like a master plan for the improvement of situation

of the programme areas in terms of their existing sanitation, health & hygienecondition as well as for improving the access of poor, marginalized and

vulnerable communities of urban poor

In social term, the plan helps the judicious and equitable distribution of water

and delivers sanitation services on need based demand. Moreover, it also

considers the management plan and ownership of the system.

5. What should be there in WESI Plan?Apart from the general information of the programme areas, the WESI plan,based on the detailing of the existing baseline information, particularly, on socio-

economic profile, water sources & their existing use, existing sanitation situationand health & hygiene condition of the area, should have a detailed

comprehensive plan for:


5/16

5

Effective utilization of existing water resources of the programme area forwhich it is being developed

Improvement of existing sanitation situation Promotion of hygiene education to improve the existing health condition Collaboration and integration with the programmes of the other cross sector

actors such as irrigation, energy, livelihood, and health etc.

The plan should assess the detailed technical information of the water sourcesidentified during the socio-economic study to provide detailed insights into

realities of the existing water situation, especially on available discharge of the

source, water management practices and problems and possible utilization ofwater resources. Therefore, the WESI plan should categorize all the potentialwater sources for possible application (e.g. drinking water, irrigation (drip or

surface), micro-hydro or industrial applications etc.) according to their quality,

capacity, accessibility and sustainability. The plan should however facilitateparticipatory mapping of all the water resources within the area of interest

(programme areas) which are already being used or proposed to be used.

5.1 Socio-economic profile:Identifying appropriate development programmes targeting poverty requires

information on existing condition of urban poor, particularly the information ondemographic features, education, economic conditions (including housingconditions), health and environmental sustainability, particularly water,

sanitation (inclusive of environmental sanitation) and hygiene education etc.

that are relevant to the targeted areas for the planning and designing of theprogramme. Similarly, information regarding inclusiveness of socially excludedgroups (such as Disability, Vulnerability, Ethnicity, and gender etc.) need to be

covered while preparing socio-economic profile.

Various studies in the past show that inadequate water and sanitation serviceshave more impact on women and girls compared to men and boys as they

share the burden of managing water at household level. Hence better waterand sanitation conditions provide real benefits to women and girls in the form

of greater privacy, convenience, safety, dignity and safe hygiene practices inthe family. Apart from that girls will have better opportunity to get enrolled in

schools and will also result in reduced drop out rate from the schools. Hence,gender inclusive approach should also be taken whiled developing WESI Plan

for delivering water and sanitation programme

For this participation of women along with men as an integral component ofplanning is very crucial for the success of the plan as well programme

developed based on it and thus should be sought as a key stakeholders. Forthe meaningful presence of both women and men in planning and decisionmaking process, prop-poor governance framework has to direct their

participation as a mandatory so as to involve both the genders in making

accountable, responsive, transparent and participative in planning, designing

and implementing as well as management of the programme.

There are various conventional methods such as questionnaire survey, focusgroup discussion, secondary data collection etc. to review the situation. Well

adopting these methods when combined with community based mapping (e.g.PRA, social mapping etc.) will help to visualize the existing baseline situation

effectively and efficiently as it will be more interactive, user friendly and a verygood tool for decision making. Refer m e t h o d o l o g y in subsequent chapter in

Annex-1.

5.2 Water:In most of the cases bringing water to the community is the approach,

harnessing external sources even from other watersheds, if not available intheir own watershed and this approach on one hand undermines the traditional

sources and may create water sharing disputes in the longer run. In addition,it also raises the risks of breaking of the system demanding continuous repair

and maintenance.

Based on the existing baseline information, the plan should, therefore, addressthe existing water issues such as availability of water, its uses and the drinkingwater situation in the programme areas. In addition, it should open up the

potentialities of using the existing water resources for different sectoral uses

by the concerned sector stakeholders. In addition, the plan should alsoaddress to attempt to conserve traditional water sources, raise the issues of

water quality, its judicious distribution and proper handling.

Local community should be in the driving seat in managing their water. In

addition, the plan should also reflect the potential use of existing watersources (already being used or potential for usage) for other sector activities

rather than limiting to drinking water sector only by broadening the scope ofthe plan and its utilization by cross sectors stakeholders. This will open up the

potentialities to collaborate with other sectors as well as help them to have abasis for integrate the plan in their programme activities and thus the

ownership towards this WESI plan.

Therefore, the plan ultimately should have an inventory of existing resources,

water being the main based on the use of existing water resources, their

potential utilization and effective management by future programme. For this,the plan should address the need of local community for delivering waterfacilities (new/rehab) with their effective use; management; and linkage with

the needs of other cross sector actors including local political bodies.

The plan at the end should cover the followings:

Source conservation, source improvement/renovation and sourcesustainability

Water demand management and Water Quality (WQ) improvementthrough WQ improvement plan and Water safety plan (WSP)

Piped water supply or any other means of water supply Ground water recharge

Exploring the potentials for alternate water facilities Wastewater management through proper drainage or its improvement Avoiding possible contamination to water bodies / water pollution Linkage with other livelihood opportunities such as: Potential irrigation whether new or improvement of existing one Energy development through micro-hydro power, water mills and

5.3 Sanitation:Similarly, improvement of sanitation facilities including environmental

sanitation, which includes waste management; wastewater management at

household and at the community level and their subsequent activities relatedto outdoor sanitation issues such as improvement of drainage, walkways,

alternate wastewater management alternatives etc. without jeopardizing thedownstream natural ecosystem will be addressed by the WESI plan under its

sanitation component as a part of sanitation improvement for the programme

area.

While discussing during the preparation of the plan, the potential pollutionproblem and contamination issues that might be brought by different activities

while addressing sanitation needs need to be taken care of. Therefore, the

WESI plan should be developed with a detail sanitation plan for addressingsanitation needs of the community including their neighbourhood environmentfor improvement and better situation thereby avoiding the potential pollution

problems.

5.4 Health and Hygiene:Without health and hygiene education and its promotion within the programmeareas, the ultimate result of providing water and sanitation facilities may notbe able to achieve the targeted outputs as expected as health and hygiene is

an integral component of Water & Sanitation delivery programme. Hence, the

WESI plan should establish the existing situation of health and hygiene statuswithin the programme areas. Based on its critical analysis, the detail plan forimproving the existing health and hygiene situation of the area should be

developed with an inclusion of value based water, sanitation and hygiene

education programme through schools and then to the communities.

The plan should also explore the opportunities of linking with the health sector

for further promoting hygiene programme integrating with their programmeactivities through collaborative efforts. For this purpose, the WESI plan should

be developed in such a way that it acts as a planning tool for the stakeholdersto adopt it as a reference document while designing their programmes. The

plan should also reflect the monitoring mechanisms for ensuring sustainable

hygiene behavioural changes and its impact within the programme areas.

5.5 Profile of Existing Institutions for possible linkages &collaboration:

The different institutions and development agencies and organizations workingwithin the district, municipalities, and programme areas (whether urban, peri-

urban or small town areas) should be inventoried to prepare their brief profile.The profile thus developed of the existing organizations should be included in

the plan. The profile catered by the WESI plan should present the institutionalstrength of these organizations along with their focus areas for future

engagement with them wherever possible either through collaboration or by

programme integration through supplementing & complimenting each othersprogramme for synergy effect.

Once the institutional strength and profile is understood, then from the verybeginning of the WESI plan preparation process, the coordination and

collaboration can also be established. The efforts should however be directedin this line of thinking. This will help in later days, once WESI plan gets

prepared, to provide spaces open for these organizations to get engaged tomaterialize the plan by involving in the areas of interest of the

organizations/institutions as envisaged in the plan to play complimentary andsupplementary role for the implementation of the plan as the ownership of

WESI plan does not belong to one individual organization/institution no matter

who has developed it.

6. How to develop a WESI Plan?While develop a WESI Plan for any clusters/communities/areas of the urban /peri-urban / small town areas where water and sanitation programme is being

initiated, the most important things to be considered is to make all theresponsible organizations (such as the community, government line agencies,

concerned stakeholders (sector & cross sector), local political bodies(DDC/Municipalities/VDCs), development agencies including GOs, (I)NGOs, CBOs

and UCs etc.) present within the areas, involved in the process with thecommunity people (targeted beneficiaries) having adequate representation of

women at the forefront of the process as a driving entity of the programme. The

series of discussions, interactions and debates should be undertaken along withprofessional discussions and consultations with the concerned entities for possible

engagement for collaboration, integration and supplementation in the programmefrom the concerned sectors. No doubt coordination and cooperation should be an

inbuilt component of the process.

The WESI Plan should be developed for any particular clusters/communities of

the urban/peri-urban areas to develop a comprehensive plan for designing aprogramme to deliver water, sanitation and hygiene promotion facilities for the

poor, marginalized, deprived and vulnerable communities. For this purpose, the

WESI plan should be developed in the following 3 stages:

a. Generating Baseline Information to acquaint with the existing situationof the areas where programme are being initiated.

b. Analysis of the generated baseline information in terms of humanresources, material and financial resources for devising a plan

c. Demand responsive plan should be developed based on the needs &priorities of the communities, sector line agencies of the government inclose consultation, discussions and coordination with the community,

concerned stakeholders, local bodies, development agencies including GOs,

(I)NGOs, CBOs and UCs etc.

7. Who should be involved in developing a WESI P lan?The implementing partner(s) of WaterAid Nepal (WAN), who is initiating water,sanitation and hygiene promotion programme in the areas is a responsible

organization in developing a WESI plan for the programme area in consultationand coordination with the various agencies, but primarily with the local bodies

(DDC/Municipality/VDCs), and community stakeholders. The WESI plan which willbe developed by WANs IP shall not be limited to them only as this plan should be

developed as a comprehensive plan common to all the stakeholders for thebenefit and development of the entire areas. Therefore, while developing this

plan, the cooperation and supports from all the development agencies, local lineagencies of the government, development professionals, water sectors and other

sectors and cross sector stakeholders, (I)NGOs, CBSOs and communitystakeholders present in the entire programme area of interest will be sought so

as to make them all responsible and accountable to this plan for its

implementation in the long run.

However, above all, the local political bodies also called as local government

(LG), such as DDC/Municipalities/VDCs should be the entity with which thecollaborative efforts should be extended strongly to tie a knot for getting them

engaged in this process of developing a WESI plan. For this purpose, LG shouldbe made involved from the very inception phase of this activity by assigning oneof their personnel as a focal person. In addition to this, sharing of resources for

undertaking a series of activities while developing a plan needs to be ensured.

However, the implementing partners should also ensure LGs about their technicaland financial support for developing a WESI plan undertaking the various sets of


10/16

10

activities. To happen this, some kind of mutual understanding and agreementbetween both needs to be reached prior initiating the works ahead. That is to

say, Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) needs to be signed to hold both theentity responsible and accountable in achieving the results.

This is necessary, because LGs are the responsible organization within theDistrict/Municipality/VDCs for establishing one door planning process to prepare

plans and programmes for the development of the areas in consultation andcooperation with the government line agencies and non government agencies.

They, are the committed entity of the area to provide services to the people and

are also responsible for holding other agencies responsible and accountable forimplementing the plan (such as District/Municipality/Village Development Plan)

prepared for the area.

With this concept of one door planning process as envisaged by the countrys

local self governance act (LSGA) 97, partnering with the local body of theprogramme area for developing WESI plan mainstreaming with the

District/Municipality/Village Development Plan (D/M/VDP) has beenconceptualized. The idea not only ensures ownership of LG towards the WESI

plan, but also helps to make it a live document for all the stakeholders to beadopted and referred for mainstreaming the planning and implementation

process while delivering water, sanitation and hygiene promotion programmewith an aim and concept envisaged in the WESI Plan. This is because, WESI plan

is an ultimate output of the collaborative efforts and engagement of all the

stakeholders present in the programme area in addition to the LG(DDC/Municipality/VDCs) whose commitment and assurance for owning the planand making it materialized on the ground should be the integral component of

the plan.

8. How to make a WESI Plan owned by Local Bodies andstakeholders?

Holding all the entities of the area including development organizations, sectorstakeholders including local line agencies of the government, primarily local

bodies responsive and accountable through transparent means of theircommitment, engagement and coordination, WESI plan prepared by WANs IP(s)

can be rendered ownership by them as a lively tool for planning water and

sanitation programme in the areas to be implemented in a long run.

Besides these, keeping the local community people at the front as a driving entity

stimulates the process by exerting pressure on the LGs who are in factestablished to address their basic needs and services on behalf of central

government in addition to the role played for delivering the services by local lineagencies of the different government departments.

Regular interactions, debates, consultations with the every stakeholders bothgovernment and non-government development agencies and development

professionals will also ensure towards developing a realistic plan. While doing so,


11/16

11

seeking their professional expertise as their cooperation and engagement andaccounting them through their commitments and responsiveness in translating

the plan in their programmes will also help to ensure their ownership towards theWESI Plan.

Similarly, the WANs Implementing Partner(s) should materialize some of theactivities set out in the WESI Plan in partnering with the LBs. The plan can be

implemented by WANs IP(s) and LB either collaborating with other stakeholderspresent in the area or integrating in their programmes wherever relevant and

possible through either supplementing or complementing them. However,

exploring potential collaboration and engagement with the sector and crosssector agencies as well as other stakeholders by developing linkages with themthrough effective coordination and cooperation is an inevitable for holding all the

entities present in the area responsible and accountable in owning the WESI Plan

developed in consultation and cooperation with them.

To happen all these possible, the wider dissemination of the plan is essential

through wider discussions and debates for having their inputs, feedbacks andcomments as well as insights in finalizing the plan in one hand and the

commitments and responsiveness for owning the plan on the other to implement

it on the ground by playing a significant roles from their respective sides.

Besides above discussions, the following are some of the key points to beconsidered while making all the relevant stakeholders, primarily Local Bodies

(LGs) to own the WESI Plan:

Sharing a concept of WESI Plan and its linkages with one door planningprocess of LGs

Discussions on the possible roles of the LG and WANs IPs in preparing a plan Broader understanding on the linking WESI Plan with District/Municipality/VDC

development plan prepared by LGs Mutual understanding and agreement through signing MoU by both LGs and

WANs IP(s) for partnership in presence of relevant institution as aneyewitness to undertake initiation for developing a plan

Formation of task force for preparing WESI plan under the coordination ofMunicipality staff personnel assigned as a focal person. The task force includes

representation from WANs IP(s), community stakeholders, relevant local lineagencies and representation from the relevant stakeholders.

With communitys active participation and cooperation from the existingdevelopment agencies, the task force generates baseline information to

acquaint with existing situation, analyse the information critically and finallyformulate a comprehensive plan for delivering primarily water, sanitation and

hygiene promotion services to respond communitys need based demands. Dissemination of the findings for wider discussions among the concerned

stakeholders of the area for finalization of the plan Endorsement of the WESI plan by the board meeting of the local body for its

implementation on the ground by making concerned agencies and


12/16

12

stakeholders responsible and accountable for their supports and engagementas deemed necessary

Supports to LGs by WANs IPs either directly or through their post follow-upmonitoring programme to review the plan through regular monitoring to

understand whether the programme are planned by development agencies

mainstreaming with WESI Plan or not.

Annex -1Methodology for generating baseline information to acquaint with existing

situation:

There are various conventional methods such as questionnaire survey, focus groupdiscussion, secondary data collection etc. to review the situation. Well adopting these

methods when combined with community based mapping (e.g. PRA, social mapping etc.)will help to visualize the existing baseline situation effectively and efficiently as it will be

more interactive, user friendly and a very good tool for decision making. The followingare the guiding steps to adopt while generating the baseline line information

Step 1: Information required fo r a profile: Different types of data/information are

required to analyze, evaluate the existing situation and the gaps in different aspects oflife. Thus, key issues and information required for addressing them need to be identified

and then should collect those data/information as required for preparing an existingbaseline profile of demographic, socio-economic as well as existing water, sanitation

(including environmental sanitation) and hygiene education condition of the programme

area. Information identified (acquired) in one urban/peri-urban/small town settlementmay vary to other due to difference in socio-economic, religio-cultural and environmental

situations of the settlements.

Step 2: Select data collection method - develop a survey tool: The three pronged

approach (household survey - HS, focus group discussion - FGD, and use of secondarydata SD) is suggested to develop a survey tool for collecting the required

data/information as identified by step 1 to have household specific information as well as

information on public/community interest (e.g. water resources, watershed information,environmental sustainability etc.) to be used in designing future plans and programmes

with gender sensitivity and responding the existing and potential use of the availableresources within the programme areas not only limiting to water, and sanitation

(including environmental sanitation) sector but also opening an opportunity for othercross sector actors (such as health, income generation (livelihood), irrigation and energy

etc and so on) to promulgate linkage through collaboration with integrated efforts with

them. .

Step 3: Collect and prepare a data set for analysis: All the identified data and

relevant information should be collected adopting a three pronged approach asmentioned in step 2 in addition to the information collected from the secondary sources.

Collating all the information at hand from various sources, a set of household/communityand public database (data and information) of the settlement should be prepared.

Step 4: Integration of household information with spatial database: It would

have been better if GIS system can be used to manage spatial data integrating spatial

with household/community and public (attribute) information analyzing them andproducing interactive digital and analogue (hardcopy) maps for visualizing the existingsocio-economic profile of the targeted programme areas. However, there is a limitation

on using ths technique as all the implementing partners may not have expertise of usingthem in one hand and on the other it becomes expensive for adopting the technique in

generating baseline information despite of being an effective and powerful tool for

interactive and analytical visualization of the programme areas.
