1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The COWASH project has two components. Component 1 strives to strengthen the federal level
capacity for implementation of the CMP approach and to support the overall WaSH sector
development process including the establishment and implementation of One WaSH National
Program (OWNP).
Under Component 1, a number of activities were planned to be conducted by COWASH FTAT at
the federal level and in the regions in 2008 EFY. The main achievements in the first nine months
were the following:
Approval of CMP Implementation Manual using Public Finance and Procurement
Management System (PFPMS): Generic CMP Implementation manual using PFPMS was
developed by Consultants jointly financed by UNICEF and COWASH, in consultation with
several WASH stakeholders. This Manual is the mitigation measure included into the One
WASH Program Operational Manual (POM) prepared in 2006 EFY. The manual, which is to be
annexed to POM, was presented to MoFED by MoWIE for approval. However, there is no any
official response yet from MoFED and consequently a number of planned activities are pending
due to the delay in the approval of the manual.
Combined Rural Water Supply O&MM Manual for Rural Piped Schemes (RPS) and
Pastoralist areas and Generic O&MM Strategic Framework being completed
(98.0%): The development of the 18 components O&MM manual and strategic framework
started in 2006 EFY have been completed and submitted for MoWIE for endorsement.
Moreover, the preparation of the training guidelines based on the manuals is on progress by
the same consultant and small editing remains to complete them. COWASH is strictly
following and providing technical assistance for the development of the manual, strategic
framework, business plan and training manuals. All manuals, framework, business plan and
some training guidelines have been uploaded to CMP web site www.cmpethiopia.org
Climate and Environmental Risk Screening Trainer’s Manual, Climate Resilient Water
Safety Plan (CR-WSP) Guideline and Social Accountability Guideline developed
(100.0%): COWASH has developed 3 manuals decisive for the development of Ethiopia’s
WASH sector. The climate and environmental risk screening trainer’s manual has been
developed based on the climate screening guidelines developed by Over Seas Development
Institute (ODI) and regional and federal level staff received ToT training to incorporate the
climate screening into COWASH’s appraisal process. CR-WSP implementation guideline has
been prepared in collaboration with WHO Ethiopia country office and ToT training provided to
regional and federal level experts to launch WSP in selected kebeles in some woredas of the
COWASH project regions. Besides, with the view to sustaining the water points, draft Social
Accountability guideline was prepared by the project. COWASH decided to conduct sector-wide
workshop on Social Accountability and WASH so as to get the views of WASH stakeholders in
making the guideline serve the whole WASH sector.
1 PhD level research underway and 1 MSc level CMP Research started: The project
continued supporting the PhD level research and a new Master’s level research entitled
“Community Participation in Rural Water Supply Development and Management: The Case of Bahir Dar
Zuria Woreda, West Gojjam Administrative Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia” has been started. The PhD
level researcher has published one article in a reputable journal and the second and third
articles are under revision and ready for publication, respectively. The MSc level research is on
the data collection stage and analysis will start in the first month of the 4th quarter.
Climate and Environmental Risk Screening, CR-Resilient WSP, Pedagogical and
Facilitation Skill and GIS Trainings conducted (100.0%): COWASH FTAT, in
2
collaboration with other WASH actors, trained 133 (11 females) woreda, zone, regional and
federal level experts on four trainings which enhance the development of the WASH sector.
With the view to improve the facilitation and presentation skills, a four days Pedagogical and
facilitation skill training was given to 28 (2 females) COWASH FTAT and RSU staff; A total of
30 (5 females) regional and federal experts have received a 5-day Training of Trainer (ToT)
training on Climate and Environmental Risk Screening training by Overseas Development
Institute (ODI) and Addis Ababa University staff. The risk screening systems are being
incorporated into the COWASH’s appraisal tools. Moreover, Climate Resilient Water Safety
Plan (CR-WSP) ToT training was given to 28 (4 females) regional and federal level experts,
including staff of water and agriculture bureaus, for 5 days. The project has also provided a 4-
day GIS and data management training for 47 experts drawn from woredas, zones, regional
WASH sector bureaus in BSG, Oromia and MoWIE.
Support to Regions in carrying out Trainings (96%): COWASH FTAT has been assisting
regions in conducting trainings to woreda, zone and regional level stakeholders of the project.
In the reporting period, FTAT provided support to BSG and Oromia RSU in conducting CMP
related trainings to Woreda and Zonal experts. A total of 77 (53 in Oromia and 24 in BSG)
have been trained. The support provided accounted 40% of the regions and 96% of the
trainees planned for the reporting period.
Five Regions have received COWASH FTAT Technical Assistance in the preparation of
2008 EFY Planning (100.0%): With the view preparing the 2008 EFY regional plans timely,
the COWASH federal technical assistant team prepared draft planning formats (both physical
and financial) and estimated unit costs and distributed to Regional Support Units (RSUs). With
these templates the regional detailed plans have been prepared with the technical assistance
of COWASH FTAT.
COWASH annual and quarterly performance reports prepared and disseminated
(100.0%): COWASH FTAT has prepared and disseminated to stakeholders the 2007 EFY
annual performance, the 2008 EFY First Quarter and Semi-Annual Performance reports. The
2007 EFY report shows the contribution of the project in attaining the GTP 1 WASH targets
while the 2008 EFY quarterly reports describe the accomplishments in the first half of the
fiscal year vis-à-vis the plans approved by Steering Committees. The reports can be found at
www.cmpethiopia.org
Participation in 2007 EFY Annual Performance Review and 2008 EFY Regional
Planning Workshops (100.0%): All of the five project regions (Amhara, Tigray, SNNPR and
BSG) have conducted their 2007 EFY annual performance review and 2008 EFY planning
workshop in the reporting period. COWASH FTAT participated in all of these workshops and
shared experiences of other regions and made discussions on issues that will mitigate the
challenges in the implementation of the project in the woredas of the respective regions.
5, 000 CMP Calendar Note Books printed and disseminated (100.0%): This fiscal year,
the project planned to prepare and print CMP calendar note books unlike the previous years
where CMP table calendars had been produced. Accordingly, 5,000 CMP calendar note books
were produced and distributed to stakeholders at federal, regional, zone and woreda levels
including some other WASH actors. Calendar note books were also distributed to MSF 7
participants. The distributed calendar note books are believed to raise awareness about the
CMP approach.
Participation in 3 International Conferences to promote CMP: As part of COWASH’s
effort to promote CMP at the international level, COWASH planned to assist MoWIE to
participate in the 25th Annual Stockholm Water Week 2015 (SWWW2015) and 38th WEDC
conference and COWASH FTAT in ‘Innovative Financing for WASH for West and Central African
3
Countries’. Accordingly, COWASH managed to participate MoWIE and COWASH Junior
Professional Officer (JPO) at SWWW2015 and WEDC Conferences and CMP was promoted in
these conferences. Two COWASH staff have also participated in the ‘Innovative Financing for
WASH for West and Central African Countries’ conference held at Dakar, Senegal. The
Ethiopian experience in the use of Microfinance Institutions to scale-up community water
programmes was shared by the COWASH staff and learnt on other WASH financing
mechanisms such as capital markets, blending of funds, equity banking and others.
Technical Assistance in preparation of MSF 7 and JTR 9:
COWASH supported NWCO in preparing and undertaking JTR 9 and MSF 7. The support
includes preparation of programs/schedules, reports and proceedings and chairing and
facilitating some of the sessions in collaboration with other WASH stakeholders. The project
has also uploaded reports, presentations and undertakings on its website
www.cmpethiopia.org so that knowledge can be managed and shared.
Component 1 Budget Utilization: The total COWASH Component 1 (C-1) five year budget
is EUR 3,730,393. Of this amount, EUR 3,514,657 was allocated for the period June 2011 to
March 2016. During the same period, the C-1 expenditures have been EUR 3,503,532
accounting 99.7 % utilization rate. EUR 200,000 was allocated for the third quarter of 2008
EFY and some EUR 184,781 has been utilized. This represents about 92.4% budget utilization
rate in the third quarter. Savings were purposefully made in order to have enough funds to pay all
Phase II completion and remaining payments in the last quarter.
Component 2 of the project deals with “Establishing and Strengthening the Capacity in Regions
to Scale-up Implementation of CMP”. A number of activities have been performed under this
component.
Increasing the Number of CMP Woredas (from 31 to 76): The number of woredas
implementing the CMP approach has been on the rise. In 2003 EFY, only 31 woredas (26 in
Amhara; 19 by RWSEP and 7 by UNICEF, and 5 in Benishangul-Gumuz) have been
implementing CMP. Excluding the UNICEF CMP woredas in Amhara, the number of CMP
Woredas has increased to 76 (11.6% of the rural woredas in the five project regions) in 2008
EFY. COWASH woredas increased from 19 in 2003 EFY to 71 in 2008 EFY in the five project
regions.
Increasing the Number of CMP Kebeles (from 360 to 1,198): This fiscal year, 51 new
rural kebeles are covered by project. This has increased the number of kebeles implementing
the CMP approach from 360 (18.2%) in the base year (2003 EFY) to 1,198 (64.4% of the
1,859 rural kebeles in the project woredas) in 2008 EFY.
Construction of Water Points: A total of 2,421 water points were planned to be constructed
in the five project regions in 2008 EFY. A total of 765 water points (745 community and 20
institutional), which accounts about 31.6 % of the annual plan, have been completed in four
regions in first nine months of the fiscal year. The community water points are benefitting
over 131,560 rural people while the institutional water supply schemes are serving more than
8,168 students and teachers and 93 health extension workers and some clients of the
facilities.
On aggregate, 8,926 water supply schemes (8,457 community, 391 schools and 78 health
facilities) have been constructed in the COWASH woredas until end of 30 March 2016. Well
over 1.96 million rural people benefitted from the community water points. The water supply
schemes constructed for schools are benefitting 169,137 students, teachers and
administrative staff of the schools whereas the health facility water supply schemes are
4
providing service to more than 14,422 health extension workers and some clients of the
health institutions.
Rehabilitation of Water Points: A total of 12 water points (10 community and 2
institutional) have been rehabilitated in the first nine months of 2008 EFY. The performance is
only 6.1% of the annual plan of the five regions. The rehabilitated water points are benefitting
more than 1,741 rural people of the project woredas. Since the launching of COWASH in
2004 EFY, 456 water points (443 community, 12 schools and 1 health facility) have been
rehabilitated in four regions of the project. The community water points rehabilitated are
benefitting more than 111,199 rural people while the rehabilitated school and health facility
water points benefit over 5,112 students and teachers and 100 health extension workers and
clients of the health facility.
Institutional Latrine Construction: 133 latrines (75 school and 58 health facility) were
planned to be constructed in 2008 EFY. It was managed to construct 15 standard institutional
latrines (12 schools and 3 health facilities) in three regions in the first 9 months of the fiscal
year. This reveals that project woredas have executed only 11.3% of the plan of 2008 EFY.
On the whole, 152 institutional latrines (87 schools and 65 health facilities) have been
constructed since COWASH is launched in 2004 EFY. The school and health facility latrines
have benefitted more than 97,112 students and teachers (51.0% females) and 3,002 health
extension workers and some clients of the institutions (56.5% females). The performance in
the construction of institutional latrine construction in particular and sanitation and hygiene in
general has been very low due to the high priority given to community water supply
constructions and competing activities in the woredas.
GoF fund utilization: According to the regional financing agreements, Government of Finland
(GoF) has allocated Euro 18,269,590 for the implementation of COWASH for five years. The
project regions have been receiving funds (Euro) from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland
(MFA) as per their funding agreement signed with Embassy of Finland. Until end of March 2016,
regions have received Euro 16,140,492.10 (88.4% of the Euro allocated). This is equivalent to
about Birr 391.59 million. Hitherto, more than 80.2 % of the amount of funds received from MFA
has been utilized by the project regions.

2 OVERALL OBJECTIVE ACHIEVEMENT
The overall objective of COWASH is ‘to achieve universal access to WaSH in the rural areas
of Ethiopia’. The project tries to attain this objective through implementing Component 1 at the
federal level and Component 2 in the regions through the adoption and application of Community
Managed Project (CMP) approach. Complete information on the contribution of the project in
improving the water supply, sanitation and hygiene situation of the project woredas will be
presented in annual report of the project.
3 PROJECT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENT
Within the framework of the overall objective described above, the project purpose is to
“Support the acceleration of UAP-rural water and sanitation targets attainment through
the establishment of an enabling environment and the implementation of CMP
interventions in selected rural areas of Ethiopia”. Thus, COWASH strives to provide support
for the development of the enabling environment at the federal level and in the project regions
where hydro-geological conditions are suitable for its replication.
The key indicators for the verification of the achievement of the Project purpose are:
i) Percentage of Regions implementing CMP approach; ii) Percentage of Woredas of targeted
regions implementing CMP approach; iii) Percentage of Kebeles of targeted woredas implementing
CMP approach; iv) Percentage of rural people that has access to potable water through COWASH;
and v) Amount of regional budget allocated for COWASH.
There is no increase in the number of regions implementing CMP approach in 2008 EFY. The
number of regions implementing the CMP approach has increased from two regions (22.2% of the
9 administrative regions of Ethiopia, excluding the city administrations of Addis Ababa and Dire
Dawa) in 2003 EFY to five regions (55.6%) in 2008 EFY. Benishangul Gumuz region joined
COWASH in 2007 EFY as the delay in the preparatory activities had delayed the joining of the
region in 2006 EFY. The regions and number of woredas implementing the CMP approach are
indicated in Table 2 below.

Note: * As of Oct. 2015, the 5 FinnWASH-BG woredas have joined COWASH.
The number of woredas implementing CMP approach rose from 5.5% in the base year (2003 EFY)
to 13.0% in 2008 EFY. There is no new woreda joined COWASH in 2008 EFY except that the 5
FinnWASH-BG woredas have joined COWASH in Oct. 2015 due to the phase out of the FinnWASH-
BG project.
This fiscal year, 51 new rural kebeles are covered by project. This has increased the number of
kebeles implementing the CMP approach from 360(18.2%) in the base year (2003 EFY) to 1,198
(64.4% of the 1,859 rural kebeles in the project woredas) in 2008 EFY.

The number of rural people benefiting from the COWASH water points and institutions having
access to water supply and latrines in the project areas have increased. The project has managed
to construct water supply schemes to 20.2% of the 9, 407,458 rural population of the 71 project
woredas in five regions of the country. Besides, 9.2% and 3.3% of the schools and health
facilities of the project woredas have got access to water supply until end of the reporting period.

The emphasis to sanitation and hygiene has been improving over the implementation period of
the project. However, the attention was much lower than the water supply service provision in
the woredas. Thus far, a total of 152 institutions (87 schools and 65 health facilities) have got
access to improved latrine with the support of the project through the CMP approach. The
regional distribution of the latrine facilities constructed is presented in Table 4 below.

4 COMPONENT 1: STRENGTHENING THE FEDERAL CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT
COMMUNITY MANAGED PROJECTS ALONGSIDE WITH A SUPPORT TO THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ONE WASH NATIONAL PROGRAM
In 2008 EFY, the project planned to widen and deepen its support by providing technical and
financial support to NWCO and other stakeholders of the project. The Component 1 major
activities planned and performed during the reporting period are presented under the outputs
indicated below (Component 1 detailed activities planned and performed in the reporting period
are attached in Annex 1). It should be noted that all the activities performed by the federal
COWASH team do not automatically belong to Component 1 but support directly Component 2
(the project regions).
4.1 RESULT 1 OF COMPONENT 1: COMMUNITY MANAGED PROJECT APPROACH
SCALED-UP AT NATIONAL LEVEL
4.1.1 Output 1: Manuals and Guidelines Reviewed and Developed for Standardizing the
CMP Implementation within the WaSH Implementation Framework
The achievement of the output is measured by the three indicators: i) number of generic CMP
implementation guidelines harmonized with WIF and incorporating crosscutting issues developed
and implemented, ii) number of tested higher technology options reviewed and incorporated into
CMP manuals and guidelines and iii) number of generic O&MM manuals/guidelines for rural water
supply developed.
A number of manuals/guidelines have been prepared in the last fiscal years. The major activities
planned and accomplished in the reporting period, under this output level, are presented below.
4.1.1.1 Participation in the Task Force in the Development of Generic Rural Water Supply O&MM RPS and Point Water Schemes and Generic O&MM Strategic Framework
The project planned to finalize the O&MM, strategic framework and business plan preparation
started in 2006 EFY. This fiscal year, additional assignment was given to the consultant to
prepare trainer’s manual for the O&MM manuals developed. Accordingly, the consultant has
submitted the O&MM manual with 18 parts, strategic framework and business plan by
incorporating all the comments and suggestions. The manuals have been submitted to MoWIE for
endorsement and some editing works are remaining to complete the training manuals. Overall,
98% of the assignment has been completed until end the reporting period. However, translation
of the trainer’s manual, business plan, strategic framework and training manuals is not yet
started. The manuals are available in the project’s website www.cmpethiopia.org
8
4.1.1.2 Preparation and Approval of the CMP Implementation Manual based on Public Financial
Management System (PFMS)
The CMP Implementation Manual as per the Public Financial Management System was finalized by
private consultants and submitted to MoFED for approval. The manual was prepared to be part of
POM. However, so far, there is no official response from MoFED and a number of important
federal and regional level activities planned are still pending.
4.1.1.3 Development and Translation of Climate Risk Screening Trainer’s Manual
Climate risks screening guidelines has been completed by ODI. This year, it is planned to prepare
trainer’s manual and translate these manuals into Amharic for providing training to regional and
woreda staff. Accordingly, COWASH has developed climate and environment risks screening
trainer’s manual in consultation with ODI experts based on the draft climate risk screening
guideline developed by the institute (100.0%). Moreover, the climate and environmental risks
screening trainer’s manual has been translated into Amharic, by a private consultant, for
providing trainings at the woreda and grassroots level (100.0%).
4.1.1.4 Development of Social Accountability Guideline
With the view to improving the service level thereby contributing for sustainability of the facilities
constructed in the project woredas, the project planned to develop and implement a Social
Accountability guideline. Consequently, the draft guideline was finalized by COWASH FTAT by
incorporating the comments and suggestions on the guideline (50.0%). Latter it was decided to
postpone the piloting of the guideline so as to get the views of WASH stakeholders in developing
a sector wide social accountability guideline. The coordination meeting between the sector
ministries has not yet been organized and the finalization of the guideline is pending. Ethiopia
Social Accountability Project (ESAP) organized the first national conference on Social
Accountability on March 31 to April 1, 2016 and COWASH participated in the conference. The
primary objective of the conference was to familiarize sector ministries on the concept, processes
and results of Social Accountability.
4.1.2 Output 2: Tools and Mechanisms Reviewed and Developed for Standardizing the
Planning, Implementation and Monitoring of CMPs
Four indicators were set to measure the achievement of the output, namely, i) number of annual
plans prepared; ii) number of quarterly reports prepared and disseminated to partners; iii) M&E
framework developed; and iv) number of federal level steering committee meetings conducted.
As indicated in Annex 1, as in the previous implementation years, a series of activities that are
believed to contribute for the achievement of the output were planned to be carried out in the
reporting period. Some of the major activities planned and their status are presented as follows:
4.1.2.1 Preparation of Annual Plans
The 2008 EFY COWASH Component 1 (C-1) annual plan has been prepared and approved by the
NWSC early in the first quarter (100.0%). Thorough discussion was made on the plan together
with the 2007 EFY project performance progress report. Moreover, COWASH FTAT has assisted
regions in preparing the 2008 EFY annual plans. Planning templates (physical and financial) and
unit costs were prepared and distributed to RSUs to modify them to be suitable to their situation
and employ them in their planning exercises.
9
4.1.2.2 Facilitation and Participation in National WaSH Steering Committee Meetings
National and Regional WaSH Steering Committee meetings are expected to be made twice a year.
COWASH is expected to facilitate and provide technical assistance in undertaking these meetings.
In the reporting period, the National WASH Steering Committee (NWSC) on COWASH was held
early in the first quarter. The meeting was held with the facilitation of COWASH FTAT. During this
meeting, the 2007 EFY annual performance progress report and 2008 EFY Component 1 annual
plan were discussed and endorsed.
4.1.2.3 COWASH Annual Performance Report Preparation
In the reporting period, COWASH FTAT is expected to prepare two performance reports (the
performance reports of the previous fiscal year, the first quarter and semi-annual performance
reports). Consequently, the 2007 EFY annual performance report, the 2008 EFY first quarter and
semi-annual performance reports of the project have been prepared and disseminated to
stakeholders (100.0%). Moreover, a summarized report of the 2007 EFY C-1 performance report,
the 2008 EFY first and semi-annual performance reports of Component 1, including progress of
water supply scheme and institutional latrine construction achievements, have been prepare and
submitted to MoWIE.
4.1.2.4 COWASH Data Compilation Template Preparation
Project data compilation templates are planned to be developed with the aim of managing the
project data and generating reports on the performance of the project in the regions. Last fiscal
year, it was managed to develop COWASH project data management templates for SNNPR and
BSG regions. It was planned to develop 2 data compilation templates (one each for Tigray and
Oromia) in the reporting period. Accordingly, the data compilation and management templates
were developed for Tigray and Oromia regions and implementation started. On-the-job training
was given to RSU staff of the two regions and data on plans and accomplishments over the years
in the regions is being entered into the templates. The project data in the regions is expected to
reach to COWASH FTAT, as per the templates, until end of the fiscal year.
4.1.2.5 Production of WASH facility maps for COWASH woredas
This year, it is planned to produce 46 maps. All of them are planned to be developed in the
reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, the GIS specialist developed all of the
planned woreda maps (100.0%). So far, 57 woreda maps with facilities constructed have been
produced and these maps will be updated to include all the WPs and latrines constructed in the
woredas until end of 2007 EFY. The maps of all the FinnWASH-BG woredas have been produced
and submitted in hard disk, together with other data, to Embassy of Finland.
4.1.2.6 Technical Assistance in 2007 EFY Annual Review and 2008 EFY Regional Planning Workshops
COWASH has been assisting in conducting annual review and planning workshops of regions.
These workshops are learning forums for project woredas and zones for strengthening plan
preparation and mitigating the challenges in implementing project activities at all levels. In the
reporting period, it was planned to assist and participate in the 2007 EFY annual performance
review and 2008 EFY plan preparation workshops of all project regions. Accordingly, COWASH
FTAT participated in 2007 EFY performance review and 2008 EFY annual plan preparation
workshops of the five project regions (Amhara, Tigray, SNNPR, Oromia and BSG). In these
workshops, besides preparing 2008 EFY plans, woredas and zones have shared their experiences
in implementing CMP approach and experiences of other regions have been shared by COWASH
FTAT.
10
4.1.2.7 Participation in Regional WASH Steering Committee (RWSC) meetings
COWASH is being implemented in the regions with the overall guidance and governance of
Regional WASH Steering Committee (RWSC) in which Embassy of Finland is a member. RWSCs
are expected to meet twice in a fiscal year with the facilitation of COWASH FTAT. In the reporting
period, each RWSC has made one meeting and these meetings deliberated mainly on the 2007
EFY annual performance report and the 2008 EFY annual plan. Accordingly, all of the meetings
have endorsed both the 2007 EFY performance report and the 2008 EFY annual plans of the
regions. Tigray and SNNPR RWSC meetings were delayed until late the 2nd quarter due to
different reasons. Tigray’s meeting was delayed due to busy schedule of the RWSC members
while the SNNPR meeting had been delayed as the preparation of the annual plans could not be
finalized due to delay in the transfer of the committed funds from zones and woredas.
4.1.3 Output 3: CMP Approach within the Rural WaSH Scientifically Researched
Three indicators are set for measuring the achievement of this output. These are: i) number of
CMP researches (disaggregated by Doctoral, Masters and Bachelor levels) completed; ii)
number of published articles on CMP research results; and iii) number of CMP research result
presentations given in international conferences.
So far, one PhD level and one MSc level researches are underway and 4 MSc level and 1 BSc level
researches on CMP were completed with the financial and technical support of COWASH. All the
completed researches are uploaded in the website www.cmpethiopia.org. This fiscal year, the PhD
level research has continued and one MSc level research started. The status of these activities is
presented below.
4.1.3.1 Continuation of the PhD level research
So far, four articles have been prepared and all of them were submitted for publication in
reputable journals (Public Works Management & Policy, Waterlines and SAGE Open). Accordingly,
one of the articles was published in Public Works Management and Policy Journal and three of
them are at different stages. One of these articles is accepted and two of them are waiting
decision. The published article can be found in
http://pwm.sagepub.com/content/20/4/379.full.pdf?ijkey=7eTVbxtzzpmIOVs&keytype=finite.
Moreover, write up of the Dissertation is underway.
4.1.3.2 New MSc level research started
Last fiscal year, an MSc level CMP research entitled “Assessment of Potable Water Access & Users’
service satisfaction in Gonji Kolella woreda rural communities during CMP implementation” has
been on-going in Gonji Kolela woreda of Amhara region with the financial support of COWASH.
The draft thesis of the MSc level research was prepared and commented by COWASH FTAT and
sent to the researcher for corrections. However, so far, the final version of the thesis is not
submitted to COWASH. This year, another CMP research is started with technical and financial
support of COWASH. The new research is entitled “Community Participation in Rural Water Supply
Development and Management: The Case of Bahir Dar Zuria Woreda, West Gojjam Administrative
Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia”. The researcher is now collecting data in the target woreda and
analysis will be started at the beginning of the 4th quarter.
4.1.3.3 Case study on Women Empowerment through CMP
The case study intends to assess how women can be empowered through active (leadership)
roles in community managed projects. The study tries to compare women and men-led WASHCOs
11
in relation to COWASH project performance. COWASH FTAT collected primary data from members
of WASHCOs in some kebeles of Fogera and Farta woredas of Amhara region. The data collected
was analysed and discussion was made with Women’s Affairs Directorate of MoWIE on the
preliminary results. It was decided to collect additional data from Tigray, SNNPR and Oromia
regions to get more insight into the issue of women empowerment. Consequently, additional data
was collected from some kebeles in SNNPR and Oromia and the data collection in Tigray is
schedule to be conducted in the first month of the upcoming quarter.
4.1.4 Output 4: Information, Education and Communication (IEC) on CMP
Implementation Modality Enhanced
The major indicators for measuring the achievement of the output are: i) Communication strategy
developed; ii) Number of major international and national events (workshops, seminars,
conferences, symposiums) where CMP awareness is raised through COWASH participation; and
iii) Number of CMP related information and education materials prepared and published
(disaggregated by types).
As indicated in Annex 1, a number of communication-related activities were planned for the
reporting period. The major ones and their status are indicated hereunder:
4.1.4.1 Production and distribution of CMP Calendar Notebooks
This fiscal year, the project planned to prepare and print CMP calendar notebooks unlike the
previous years where CMP table calendars had been produced. Accordingly, 5,000 CMP calendar
note books were produced and distributed (100.0%) to stakeholders at federal, regional, zone
and woreda levels including some other WASH actors. The calendar notebooks are believed to
raise awareness about the CMP approach at all levels.
4.1.4.2 Participation in selected International conferences, networking and forums
COWASH has been supporting participation in international conferences, networking meetings and
forums so as to promote CMP at the international and national levels. This reporting period, it was
planned to participate in Stockholm Water Week 2015 (SWWW 2015) and WEDC 2015. The
experience of COWASH in promoting and implementing CMP approach has been promoted in both
events. In the SWWW 2015, the Junior Professional Expert presented the CMP approach in two
sessions. The CMP approach was also promoted to visitors of the MFA’s stand at the exhibition.
The case study on development and scaling-up of CMP was presented at the 38th International
WEDC Conference held in Loughborough University in England. While three MoWIE staff (State
Minister, Women Affairs Director and Change Management Director and junior professional officer
of COWASH) participated in the SWWW2015, two persons (NWCO coordinator and COWASH
junior professional officer) took part in the WEDC 2015.
4.1.4.3 Developing Video Films and Clips on CMP Implementation
With the view to promoting CMP implementation, it was planned to prepare 1 documentary film
and two video clips that focus on the implementation process of CMP approach. So far, the
documentary film and one video clip (67.0%) were prepared and shared on CMP Youtube account
and Facebook page. The preparation of one of the video clips is postponed to the upcoming
quarter due to come competing activities on the Communication Specialist.
4.1.4.4 Developing Case Studies on CMP Implementation
This fiscal year it was planned to conduct two case studies, one in Bambasi woreda in BSG reigon
and the other in Bahir Dar Zuria woreda of Amhara region. As a result, the case study that
focuses on the lack of access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) service showcasing Nebar
12
keshmando kebele in Bambasi woreda was prepared. In addition, the other case story that
focuses on the provision of safe water supply in Yeloma kebele of Bahir Dar Zuria Woreda was
also prepared (100.0%). However, these case stories could not be published in different national
newspapers due to shortage of budget.
4.1.4.5 Updating CMP WEB page
The official CMP website (www.cmpethiopia.org) was developed in collaboration with IRC to
disseminate basic information on CMP and attract more funding for the country. In the reporting
period, the website has been updated regularly. News about various events were prepared and
published on the website. In an attempt to call the attention of concerned bodies to these
updates, efforts were made to share the links of those updates. Some more updates have been
made on the website to provide information on CMP implementation. Moreover, the CMP facebook
and the youtube account are also updated regularly to provide information about CMP to the
larger audience.
4.1.4.6 Assistance and Participation in National Events
The project has been assisting (financially and technically) in executing major national events:
International Women’s Day and World Water Day celebrations. The assistance includes both
financial and technical. Accordingly, COWASH financed and supported technically the celebration
of Women's International Day. Besides, COWASH FTAT participated in the celebration of World
Water Day. The support of COWASH in the preparation and celebration of Women’s Day was
appreciated by the Women’s Affairs Directorate.
4.2 RESULT 2 OF COMPONENT 1: CMP IMPLEMENTATION CAPACITY AT THE
FEDERAL AND REGIONAL LEVELS DEVELOPED
4.2.1 Output 1: Capacity Building Instruments Reviewed and Developed
The achievement of the output is to be measured by three indicators: i) Generic CMP capacity
building strategy developed; ii) Generic woreda level capacity building package developed; and
iii) number of impact assessments made on CMP related trainings (one in each project region).
The project has developed generic CMP capacity building strategy and generic woreda level
capacity building package in the previous implementation years. The capacity building strategy
has been revised every year to capture new developments in the WaSH sector. Moreover,
training impact assessments have been completed.
Some of the main activities planned for the reporting period and their progress are presented
below.
4.2.1.1 Updating of COWASH Capacity Building Strategy
This year it was planned to update the capacity building strategy of the project. Accordingly, the
capacity building strategy has been updated (100.0%) by the Human Resources Development
Specialist (HRDS). Trainings supported by the project have been conducted following the
updated strategy.
4.2.1.2 Evaluation of the COWASH training approaches
It was planned to assess the existing COWASH training materials, tools, approaches, methods,
number of trainees per session, etc. and make some suggestions. Accordingly, assessment on
the training methodologies and materials has been done by an independent consultant and
recommendations made (100.0%). Following the recommendations, COWASH’s HRDS has
13
conducted training of trainer’s for COWASH FTAT and regional support units (RSUs) to improve
pedagogical skills in conducting trainings, facilitation and training design. WASHCO handbook in
CMP will be developed to be used during WASHCO training and retained by WASHCOs for
reference.
4.2.2 Output 2: Capable and Adequate Personnel in place for CMP Implementation at
National and Regional Levels
Number of people hired at federal and regional level (disaggregated by sex), number of trainings
given by the federal COWASH team and number of people participated in trainings (disaggregated
by sex) are the indicators set to measure the achievement of the output.
A number of capacity building activities, which are decisive for the sustainability of the water
supply schemes are planned to be conducted in the fiscal year. The main ones are trainings on
climate risk screening and WSP, pedagogical skills and knowledge, O&M, etc. The four major
trainings and some refreshment trainings assisted by COWASH FTAT and their progresses in the
reporting period are indicated hereunder.
4.2.2.1 ToT Training on Climate Resilient Water Safety Planning (CR-WSP)
COWASH planned to provide ToT training on CR-WSP with the view to sustain the water supply
services in the project regions. Accordingly, CR-WSP ToT was provided to regional selected and
pertinent WASH sector experts drawn mainly from COWASH FTAT, RSU, Water bureau, Health
bureau and Agriculture Bureau (BoA). A total of 28 experts (4 Female) have received the ToT
training held for 5 days in Bishoftu town. This accounts about 75.7% of the planned trainees. A
one day field visit was made in Adaa Woreda of Oromia region and trainees have developed their
own WSP plan based on the field visit. The training was provided by a team of experts constituted
from MoWIE, Hydrology & Water Quality Directorate and WHO Country Office.
4.2.2.2 ToT Training on Climate and Environmental Risk Screening
COWASH has also planned to undertake ToT training on climate and environmental risk screening
to regional sector office staff and COWASH FTAT. Consequently, the ToT training was given to
regional WASH sector experts drawn mainly from COWASH FTAT, RSU, Water bureau, and
Agriculture bureau. A total of 30 experts (5 Female), which is 111.1% of the plan, have received
the training conducted for 5 days at Bahir Dar town. The trainees have spent two and half days
on the field in a kebele in Farta woreda of Amhara region and discussed their observations and
experiences about the site visited. The training was given by experts drawn from Oversees
Development Institute (ODI) and Addis Ababa University.
4.2.2.3 ToT Training on Pedagogical and Facilitation Skills and Knowledge Training
Another important ToT training planned to be conducted in the reporting period was Pedagogical
skill training. This was designed to improve the training, facilitation and presentation skills of the
regional and federal level experts participating in different trainings at different levels. It was
managed to provide the training to 28 (2 females) regional and COWASH FTAT experts for 4 days
at Hawassa town. The training was given by the COWASH Human Resources Development
Specialist (HRDS).
4.2.2.4 ToT Training on GIS and Data Management
Last fiscal year COWASH had trained many of the regional, zonal and woreda level experts on GIS
and data management. This fiscal year it was planned to train 34 staff of region, zones and
woredas in BSG, Oromia and SNNPR. Accordingly, 47 staff of woreda, zone and regional sector
14
offices in Oromia and BSG and MoWIE staff 138.0%) have been trained on GIS and data
management for four days. The training was given by the COWASH GIS expert in collaboration
with other COWASH FTAT and MoWIE staff. COWASH has now made available two GIS trained
people in each of the 76 project woredas and more than three experts in each region.
The trainees gained skills and experience in managing their water points and latrines data and
producing maps.
4.2.2.5 Refreshment trainings assisted by COWASH FTAT
Like the previous fiscal years, COWASH FTAT planned to assist RSUs in carrying out refreshment
trainings based on demand. It was planned to refresh 88 woreda and zonal experts in CMP
management, appraisal and WASHCO CMP management. Until end of the reporting period, 77 (3
female) woreda and zonal experts in Oromia and BSG regions have been refreshed with the
technical support of the COWASH FTAT. This accounts about 96.0% of the planned trainees.
Overall, 118 (10 females) COWASH FTAT, MoWIE, regional, zonal and woreda level staff have
been trained on different issues for 4 to 5 days. This accounts about 106.0% of the trainees
planned to be trained in the reporting period. The achievement exceeded the plan due to the
inclusion of MoWIE staff in the GIS and data management training.
Moreover, COWASH FTAT assisted in refreshing 77 (3 female) woreda and zonal experts in
Oromia and BSG regions as per the request of the RSUs.
4.3 RESULT 3 OF COMPONENT 1: DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONE
WaSH NATIONAL PROGRAM SUPPORTED
In the One WaSH National Program development, COWASH is accountable for the provision of
technical assistance and financial support as per the mutually agreed terms of references.
COWASH is not, however, responsible in the development and implementation of One WaSH
National Program.
4.3.1 Output 1: COWASH Support Provided in Preparing One WaSH National Program
Number of short-term consultancy days provided by COWASH for the development and
implementation of One WaSH National Program, and amount of finance provided for the
development and implementation of One WaSH National Program are the indicators set to
measure the achievement of this output.
The major activities planned for the reporting period are: i) support the OWNP Phase II Program
Document Preparation; and ii) participate in the One WASH National Program Task Force
meetings for the Phase I review.
However, COWASH couldn’t contribute much in the reporting period as the activities planned have
not been started by the NWCO. Anyhow, the following has been accomplished in the reporting
period:
- besides sponsoring the reporter and proceeding of MSF 7, COWASH together with
NWCO proposed OWNP Phase II Program Document Preparation to be part of the MSF
7 undertakings and finally approved
- technical assistance provided in drafting ToR for OWNP review and Phase II document
preparation
- the task force for the review of OWNP Phase I and the Preparation of the Phase II has
not yet been established and COWASH is assisting and calling for the establishment of
this task force.
15
- COWASH is assisting NWCO in planning and implementing different preparatory
activities that enhance the successful implementation of the WASH activities in the
country.
4.3.2 Output 2: COWASH Support Provided in Implementation of One WaSH National
Program
Number of people trained in CMP implementation in non-COWASH regions by federal COWASH
and number of federal level advisers assigned in the One WaSH National Program management
are the two indicators set for measuring the achievement of the output.
The indicators were set with the view that OWNP will be implemented and CMP will be scaled-up
in the rest of the regions of the country. However, reporting as per these indicators has not been
started as the CMP approach is not yet implemented in the non-COWASH regions. Other activities
which assist the implementation of the OWNP were planned by the project.
In the period under reporting, COWASH planned to participate in JTR 9, assist in undertaking
MSF, providing technical assistance to the OWNP M&E system development team, and
participating in different task forces and technical committees. Accordingly, all of the planned
activities have been undertaken as planned. The detailed activities performed are indicated
hereunder:
- COWASH FTAT participated in JTR 9 and preparation of report on the review. The findings
of the review were presented at the MSF 7.
- COWASH has actively participated in the preparation and undertaking of MSF 7. The CTA
of COWASH has contributed a lot in selecting topics of presentations, shaping the
presentations, preparing schedule of the forum, facilitating and chairing presentations and
preparing undertakings of the forum.
- COWASH FTAT is working closely with the M&E development team and providing technical
assistance in workshops organized and providing enriching comments on reports produced
by the team. The project staff provided detailed comments on Diagnostic Analysis,
Inception report and WASH M&E MIS assessment reports produced by the team.
- COWASH has also contributed a lot in the development of the WASH sector through
participating in a number of task forces’ meetings and events such as Urban-WASH Sub-
Group meetings, Rural-WASH Sub-Group meetings, WASH-SG meeting, and Self-supply
sub-group meetings. COWASH could not participate in some other task force meetings due
to overlapping of schedules.
- Contributed in the Sanitation Marketing Occupational Standard and SME development and
CR-WSP development through participating in committee meetings.
5 COMPONENT 2: ESTABLISHING AND STRENGTHENING THE CAPACITY IN
REGIONS TO SCALE-UP IMPLEMENTATION OF CMP
Component 2 aims at building the capacity of target Regions, Zones and Woredas to plan,
manage, monitor and implement WaSH interventions through the CMP approach; deliver financial
and procurement services for CMP interventions at all levels; and to increase the sustainable
community and institutional access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the target areas.
The major achievements of the regions during the first nine months of 2008 EFY are indicated
hereunder.
16
5.1 RESULT 1 OF COMPONENT 2: TARGET REGIONS, ZONES AND WOREDAS
CAPABLE TO PLAN, MANAGE, MONITOR AND IMPLEMENT RURAL WaSH
INTERVENTIONS USING CMP APPROACH
The major achievements of the regions in the reporting period in planning, managing, monitoring
and implementing WaSH interventions through CMP approach are presented in the following
output levels.
5.1.1 Output 1: Regional Support Units (RSU) Established and Functional
Number of Regional Support Unit (RSU) staff hired (disaggregated by region and sex), number of
annual COWASH work plans produced and number of COWASH quarterly and annual reports
produced as per the annual plan are set to measure the achievement of this output of Component
2.
All project regions have hired adequate staff in previous years of implementation of the project.
In the reporting period, it was planned to fill the Oromia Financial Specialist and SNNPR Capacity
Building and M&E Specialist posts. Consequently, the Oromia Financial Specialist was filled. The
SNNPR post could not be filled due to complaint raised on the recruitment process.
Every year, all project regions are expected to prepare and approve their annual plans of the
project. Accordingly, regions have prepared the 2008 EFY plans of the project, with the
participation of woreda, zonal and regional stakeholders, and approved by the respective Regional
WASH Steering Committees. The preparation and approval of the regional plans were extended to
the 2nd quarter due to delay in the announcement of shares of annual budget of the woredas and
zones and busy schedule of steering committee members.
Regions are also expected to prepare and submit four performance reports (3 quarterly and one
annual) to Embassy of Finland as per their funding agreement. In the reporting period, RSUs of
the four COWASH regions have prepared and submitted the 2007 EFY annual (physical and
financial) reports and the 2008 EFY first and 2nd quarter performance reports (100.0%). The first
quarter performance reports of the regions were not formal as their plans were not approved and
there were no many activities performed in the quarter.
Besides, unlike the previous fiscal years, Regional WaSH Steering Committee (RWSC) on
COWASH meetings were conducted timely. In these meetings, the RWSCs have endorsed the
2008 EFY annual plans and made decisions on a range of issues of the project which speed up the
implementation of the project in their respective region.
5.1.2 Output 2: Regions, Zones and Woredas Capacitated to Implement Rural WaSH
through CMP
Number of trainings types held by region (disaggregated by type of training), number of people
(disaggregated by sex and type of training) participated in trainings given by regions, zones and
woredas and number of water points and institutional latrines built as per plan (proxy indicator)
are the indicators set to measure the achievement of the output.
The scaling-up of the CMP approach requires extensive human capacity building activities at the
regional, zonal and woreda levels. A number of trainings, including refreshments, are planned to
be conducted in the regions. Accordingly, some trainings have been conducted in the reporting
period. The performances of the regions in human capacity building in the first half of the fiscal
year are presented hereunder.

5.1.2.2 Trainings Conducted in Tigray Region in the First Nine Months of 2008 EFY
In Tigray region, 15 types of trainings were planned to be executed in the fiscal year (Table 7).
All of these trainings were planned to be completed in the reporting period. Consequently, nine of
the trainings (60.0%) have been conducted in the first nine months and the remaining human
capacity building activities are scheduled to be started in the final quarter of the fiscal year. The
delay in the approval of the annual workplan has contributed for the low performance in building
the capacity of implementers and other stakeholders of the project. Some of the major trainings
conducted are: i) WASHCO CMP management, ii) KWT CMP Promotion and Appraisal, iii) CLTSH
for Kebele level experts, iv) Climate risk screening training; v) GLOWS/WSP ToT training; and
vi) WASHCO CMP management training.
19
The regional performance report shows that a total of 895 (404 female) kebele, woreda and
regional level people, including members of WASHCO and KWT, have been trained for 2 to 5 days
at different levels. This accounts about 41.7% of the annual plan. The region has spent about Birr
0.68 million for the trainigns conducted in the reporting period.

5.1.2.6 Workshops and Meetings held in the Regions
Review and planning workshops and other meetings have been planned so as to increase and
cement the awareness on CMP at all levels in the project regions. The achievements of the
regions in the first nine months of the fiscal year are indicated hereunder.
All regions have successfully completed the 2007 EFY annual performance review and 2008 EFY
planning workshop. In these workshops, regions have reviewed COWASH/CMP performance of
2007 EFY and prepared (physical and financial) plans of 2008 EFY in the presence of over 781 (76
females) woreda, zonal and regional level stakeholders of the project. These workshops are
serving as experience sharing platforms for woredas and zones.
Some other workshops have also been conducted in the reporting period. Some woredas of
Amhara and SNNP regions have carried out Whole System in the Room (WSR) workshop for 1 to
5 days. A total of 2,799 (43.6% females) woreda and kebele level people took part in the
workshop held at woreda and kebele levels.
More than 4,119 (50.0% of the annual plan) have participated different types of workshops held
at different levels of the regions. Some 33.0% of the attendees were female.
However, workshops related to linking WASHCOs to the private sector and zonal level quarterly

5.1.2.7 Procurements made in the Regions
COWASH also aims to building the physical capacity of the implementing institutions so as to
implement the CMP approach in a meaningful and sustainable manner. Much of the procurement
has been made in the previous fiscal years and only a few procurements were planned in this
budget year. Anyhow, some procurement activities were undertaken in the first nine months and
the different procurements made in the regions, zones and woredas are presented below.
25
5.1.2.7.1 Procurements done in Oromia Region
This fiscal year, sixteen types of items, many of them rolled over from the previous fiscal year,
were planned to be procured in Oromia region. All of these items were planned to be procured in
the reporting period. Accordingly, many of the items (field vehicle, office equipments and
construction materials, etc.) have been procured in the reporting period. Among the planned
items de-watering pump, water quality test kits and small diameter molds were not procured as
planned. These items will be procured in the last quarter of the fiscal year together with other
procurements of regional sector bureaus. Capacity building funds amounting to Birr 2.19 million
was spent for the procurement of the 13 types of items (Table 12). Much of this cost (88.5%)
was spent for the procurement of field vehicle for RSU staff.
Table 12: Materials procured in Oromia region during First Nine Months of 2008 EFY
5.1.2.7.2 Procurements done in Amhara Region
Only 8 types of items were planned to be procured in Amhara region in 2008 EFY. This is mainly
due to the fact that procurements had been completed in the previous fiscal years. The regional
performance report shows that only 5 of the 8 items planned (63.0%) have been procured in the
reporting period. It was reported that only 20-50% of the planned quantities of these items have
been procured in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The items procured are desktop
computers (20.0%), file cabinet (26.0%), 40 drums of chlorine (20%), 4 spring construction tools
(29%) and 2 electric generators (50%). The remaining items are expected to be procured in the
final quarter of COWASH Phase II.

5.1.2.7.3 Procurements done in Tigray Region
Only few items (8) were planned to be procured in Tigray region in 2008 EFY. This is due to the
fact that many of the items required for the implementation of the project activities had been
procured in the previous fiscal years. Nonetheless, only 2 vehicles were procured in the reporting
period. The two vehicles were procured with an estimated cost of Birr 3.96 million. The planned
items will be procured in the last quarter of the fiscal year as purchase requests have been
submitted to finance offices responsible for procurement of items.

Nine types of office equipments, vehicle and construction materials were planned to be procured
in 2008 EFY. Very few number of items were planned to be procured as many of the sector offices
had procured much of the materials required for implementation of the project activities in the
previous implementation years. All of the procurements were planned to be undertaken in the
reporting period. Nonetheless, only three of the items planned (50.0%) have been procured in
the reporting period. The items procured are laptops (50.0%), photocopy machine (100.0%), and
field vehicle (50.0%). The procurement of the other items is expected to be completed in the last
quarter of the fiscal year.

5.1.2.7.5 Procurements done in BSG Region
Quite a lot of office equipments, construction materials and transportation facilities (43 types of
items) were planned in 2008 EFY. Many of the planned items were rolled over from the previous
fiscal year. All of the items were planned to be procured in the first six months of the fiscal year
so as to accelerate the construction process in the third quarter. As a result of the concerted
efforts exerted at all levels, majority of the items planned (88.4%) have been procured in the
reporting period with an outlay of Birr 22.64 million allocated from the GoF contribution. Among
the different items procured are 15 motorbikes(83.3%), 5 field vehicles(100.0%), 4 water quality
27
test kits(100.0%), 13 large diameter molds(65.0%), 10 small diameter molds(48.0%), 11 chain
blocks(55.0%), 71 sets of artisan hand tools(92.0%) and communication materials (wireless
mikes, IT toolkits, TV, etc.). The motorbikes, vehicles and water quality test kits were procured
with a total cost of Birr 1.73 million, Birr 5.99 million and 1.34 million, respectively. The items
procured especially the transportation facilities are believed to mitigate the transportation
problems of the project woredas and zones thereby speeding up the slow process of project
implementation in the region.

In all, the procurement of planned construction materials and office equipments in the regions
was delayed due to delay in the approval of 2008 EFY annual plans by Regional WaSH Steering
Committee (RWSC) in the respective regions of the project. The low procurement performance
shows that much effort needs to be exerted in the third quarter to procure many of the planned
materials before the end of COWASH Phase II.

5.2 RESULT 2 OF COMPONENT 2: FINANCIAL AND PROCUREMENT SERVICES
DELIVERED FOR CMP INTERVENTION AT ALL LEVELS IN THE SELECTED
REGIONS
5.2.1 Output 1: Flow of Funds for CMPs Functional
Some indicators are set to measure the achievement of the output, viz., 1) number of fund
transfer requests done to the financier; 2) number of BoFED audit reports produced
(disaggregated by regions); 3) amount of funds transferred to WASHCOs and 4) amount of funds
settled by WASHCOs.
A number of activities were planned in the regions to achieve this output. According to the
funding agreements made between the beneficiary regional Finance Bureaus and Embassy of
Finland, a COWASH region is expected to submit four fund transfer requests to the Embassy of
Finland per year. Each project region was expected to submit three fund transfer requests in the
first nine months of the fiscal year. Consequently, six fund transfer requests have been submitted
to Embassy of Finland in the first nine months. This accounts 40.0% of the transfer requests
expected in the reporting period. All regions except SNNPR have requested only once whereas
SNNPR requested twice in the reporting period. All of the regions didn’t request funds for the first
quarter as they had some leftover funds from 2007 EFY to cover the expenses in the quarter. The
delay in the approval of the 2008 EFY annual plan has delayed the timely submission of fund
requests.
Project regions are expected to audit the project fund utilization every year and prepare audit
reports. The auditing of the 2007 EFY fund utilization was expected to be conducted in all regions
in the reporting period. However, no region has submitted audit report of 2007 EFY to the
Embassy of Finland. The auditing of 2007 EFY fund utilization is underway in the regions and
many of them are expected to submit their audit reports to Embassy of Finland in the last quarter
of the fiscal year.
The data on investment fund transfer and utilization by WASHCOs is difficult to report within the
fiscal year where activities are on-going. Complete information on investment fund transferred to,
via MFIs, and amount settled by WASHCOs in each region will be reported in the annual report of
the project.
5.2.2 Output 2: Linkages Created with Private Sector in the Supply of Materials,
Equipment, Tools and Services
Number of new artisans trained by COWASH for WASH facility construction in the woredas
(disaggregated by sex) and number of awareness raising workshops organized for the private
sector are set to measure the achievement of the output.
Usually, some activities are included in the annual plans of regions and woredas to create linkage
with the private sector at the regional, zonal and woreda levels. The major ones are: training of
artisans; organizing awareness raising workshops to the private sector (pump, spare parts and
construction materials suppliers) on the availability of market opportunities; carrying out market
surveys in the Woredas; and informing communities on the prices of construction materials,
equipment, tools and services based on market surveys made in the woredas.
However, while some artisan trainings have been undertaken in some woredas, regional reports
reveal that no workshop has been conducted at all levels of the project regions. In fact, this
29
activity has not been implemented effectively in almost all of the project regions over the
implementation periods of the project.
5.3 RESULT 3 OF COMPONENT 2: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY AND
INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS TO SAFE WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE IN
THE TARGET WOREDAS INCREASED
5.3.1 Output 1: Access to Improved Water Sources for Communities and Institutions
Increased
Three indicators are set to measure the achievement of the output. These are, a) number of new
CMP applications submitted to WWT(disaggregated by communal and institutional); b) number of
new CMP applications approved by WWT (disaggregated by communal and institutional); and c)
number of new water schemes constructed (disaggregated by communal and institutional).
In 2008 EFY, a total of 2,421 new WPs constructions (including those rolled over from 2007 EFY)
were planned to be undertaken in the five project regions. Of these, 2,049 are for communities
and the remaining 372 are for institutions (227 for schools and 145 for health facilities). Hence,
at least 2,421 applications are expected to be submitted by communities and institutions and
approved by WWTs in the fiscal year.

Cognizant of the fact that the first six months are characterized by a rainy season and harvesting
season in majority of the project woredas, there were no many applications submitted and
construction activities carried out during the first half of the reporting period. The delay in the
preparation and approval of the 2008 EFY has also delayed the promotions and construction of
facilities in the project kebeles. Anyhow, the performance of regions in generating demand for
water supply and constructions completed in the first nine months presented below.
The five project regions managed to construct 765 water points (745 community, 17 school and 3
health facility) in the first nine months of the fiscal year. This accounts about 31.6% of the annual
plan. The performance is very low compared with the previous fiscal years and much needs to be
done in the remaining quarter of the fiscal year. The community water pints are benefitting more
than 135, 186 rural people of the project woredas. Over 8,168 students and teachers and 93
health staff and some clients of the health facilities are benefitting from the institutional water
points constructed with the support of COWASH through the CMP approach.

The performances of the five regions in the first 9 months of the fiscal year are presented below.
5.3.1.1 Water supply schemes planned and constructed in Amhara Region
As indicated in Table 17 above, the 40 Amhara woredas planned to construct 1,486 WPs – 1,261
by communities and 225 by institutions (141 schools and 84 health facilities). As the country is
now starting the 2nd growth and transformation plan (GTP II), the construction of these water
points are believed to contribute for the attainment of GTP II/WASH targets of the project
woredas.
Consequently, promotions have been made in the reporting period in the CMP kebeles of Amhara
woredas with the trained woreda staff. As a result of the promotions made, more applications
(2,525) than planned (1,486) have been submitted to WWTs (Table 18). Of this applications,
2,464 (97.6%) were appraised on the desk by the trained woreda appraisal team. Field level
appraisal has been made on 2,360 (96.0%) of the desk appraised applications. Accordingly, some
1,909 (81.0%) of the field appraised were approved by WWTs.

Unlike the previous fiscal years, less than half of the planned water supply schemes (43.8%) have
been completed in the reporting period. It was managed to construct only 652 water supply
schemes (642 community and 10 institutional) in the project woredas in the reporting period.
More than 106,592 rural people, 3,359 students and teachers and 33 health staff and some
clients of the health facilities have benefitted from the water supply schemes constructed through
the CMP approach with the support of the project.
Table 19: New Water Points Constructed in Amhara Region in the First 9 Months of 2008 EFY
5.3.1.2 Water supply schemes planned and constructed in Tigray Region
In Tigray region, a total of 228 WPs (194 by communities and 34 by institutions-23 schools and
11 health facilities) are planned to be constructed, through the CMP approach, in the 7 woredas of
the region. The construction of these water points will contribute highly to attainment of the GTP
II/WASH targets of the woredas.
Demand creation promotions were conducted in the kebeles in the first half of the fiscal year. As
a result, 207 applications (189 for communities and 15 for schools and 3 for health facilities),
accounting 91.0% of the annual plan, were submitted to WWTs of the project woredas. Among
these, 182 (87.9%) were desk appraised and 118 of those desk appraised (64.8%) were
appraised at the field level by the woreda appraisal team. Nonetheless, only 39 (33.1%) of the
projects appraised at the field level have been approved in the reporting period. This shows that
much has not been done in the approval process and construction of water points planned for the
fiscal year. The very low performance of the region necessitates extra effort to attain the annual
targets in the last quarter of the fiscal year.

Though the approval of the 2008 EFY plan had been delayed until end of the 2nd quarter, some
constructions started late in the preceding fiscal year have been undertaken in some SNNPR
project woredas. It was managed to construct 80 water points (72 communities, 6 schools and 2
health facilities) in the nine months of the fiscal year. Over 16,380 rural people started to benefit
from the 72 community water points. The school and health facility water points are benefitting
more than 3,809 students and teachers and 60 health staff and some clients of the institutions,
respectively.

Table 23: New Water Points Constructed in SNNP Region in the First 9 Months of 2008 EFY
5.3.1.4 Water supply schemes planned and constructed in Oromia Region
The 12 project woredas of Oromia region planned to construct 331 water points (289 by
communities, 21 each by schools and health facilities) in the fiscal year.
Following the series of promotions made in the kebeles, communities, schools and health facilities
submitted a total of 379 applications (337 by rural communities, schools and health facilities 21
each) for WWTs for approval (Table 24). The demands of the community, schools and health
facilities exceeded the number of planned water points. Majority of the applications (89.7%) has
been appraised on the desk, and many of these desk appraised applications (95.6%) were
appraised at the field level and submitted to WWTs for approval. Consequently, 291 (90.0%) of
the field appraised projects were approved by WWTs and contractual agreement between
WASHCOs and WWTs have been signed.

As indicated in Table 25 below, only 13 community water points (7 handdug wells and 6 on spot
springs) have been completed in the reporting period. This accounts 4.0% of the annual plan,
which is much lower than the performance of the region in the previous fiscal years. The newly
constructed water points are benefiting over 2,060 rural people of the project woredas.
Table 25: New Water Points Constructed in Oromia Region in the First 9 Months of 2008 EFY
5.3.1.5 Water supply schemes planned and constructed in BSG Region
COWASH started implementing CMP approach in 4 woredas of BSG region in 2007 EFY. There was
no construction completed last fiscal year. In 2008 EFY, the four project woredas planned to
construct a total of 131 water points – 80 for communities and 50 for institutions (29 for schools
and 21 for health facilities) in the woredas.
Thus, woreda appraisal teams have created demand for water supply in the project kebeles.
Following the promotions made in the project kebeles, applications equal to the annual plan have
been submitted to WWTs for approval. Accordingly, all of the applications submitted have been
appraised (at office and field levels) and approved for construction. All WASH Cos have signed
financial agreement with WWTs and many of them have concluded service agreements with
artisans to start construction of their water points.

As shown in Table 27 below, there were 20 water points (18 community and 2 schools) were
completed in the reporting period in BSG region with the support of COWASH through the CMP
approach. The number of water points completed accounts only 15.3% of the annual plan of the
four woredas of BSG. Over 6,518 rural people of the woredas started benefitting from the 18
community water points. The low performance of the woredas shows that extra effort is required
to attain the annual targets of water supply construction in the woredas in the final quarter of
COWASH Phase II.
Table 27: New Water Points Constructed in BSG Region in the First 9 Months of 2008 EFY
Cumulative Number of Water Supply Schemes Constructed to Date:
Between 2004 EFY and end of 3rd quarter of 2008 EFY, on aggregate 8,926 water points have
been completed in the five regions with the support of COWASH through the CMP approach.
Majority of the water points (8,457) are for rural communities while the remaining is for schools
(391) and health facilities (78). In terms of geographic location, 7,109 were constructed in
Amhara, 396 in Tigray, 599 in SNNPR, 802 in Oromia and 20 in BSG region.
The community water points are benefitting over 1.96 million rural people in the project woredas
of the five project regions. The school and health facility water pints completed are benefitting
more than 0.17 million students, teachers and administrative staff and 14,400 health staff and
clients of the health facilities (Table 28).

5.3.2 Output 2: Access to Sanitation for Household and Institutions Increased and
Hygiene Behavior Improved
Percentage of ODF kebeles in the COWASH intervention woredas (disaggregated by project
regions), number of new institutional latrines constructed (disaggregated by institutions) are
the indicators of measuring the achievement of the output.
With regards to freeing kebeles from open defecation, the five regions planned to make 431
rural kebeles ODF in 2008 EFY with the assistance of other WASH actors in the project
woredas. However, the performance cannot be known before the end of the fiscal year as the
process of ODF continues until end of the fiscal year. Hence, the ODF status of woredas is
being reported at the end of the fiscal year upon receipt of information from the regions.
The regional plans show that the attention to sanitation and hygiene has been improving over
the fiscal years. In 2008 EFY, 133 institutional latrines (75 for schools and 58 for health
institutions) were planned to be constructed in the five regions of the project. Among these, 30
were planned in Amhara, 14 in Tigray, 17 in SNNPR, 12 in Oromia and 60 in BSG region.
Consequently, after a series of promotions made in the kebeles, a total of 88 applications
(66.2% of the annual plan) have been submitted to Woreda WASH Teams. All of these
applications have been appraised both at the desk and field level. Accordingly, majority of the
field appraised applications (99.0%) were approved by WWTs.

Woredas have completed construction of 15 institutional latrines (12 for schools and 3 for
health facilities) in the first nine months of the fiscal year. In terms of region, majority of the
latrines were constructed in SNNPR (8) followed by Amhara (4) and Oromia region (3). These
school and health facility latrines are benefitting more than 10,104 students and teachers
(4,481 females) and 855 health staff and clients of the facilities (504 females), respectively.
Moreover, 37 latrines were under construction at the end of the reporting period in different
woredas of the project regions.

5.3.3 Output 3: Sustainability of Communal and Institutional Water Schemes in the
Targeted Woredas Strengthened
Three indicators are set to measure the achievement of the output. These are: i) number of
CMP schemes with trained pump attendants and caretakers (disaggregated by sex); ii) number
of water points rehabilitated (disaggregated by communal and institutional); and
iii) percentage of WASHCOs with more than 50% women members.
A number of activities were planned in the regions to attain the output. The data on schemes
with trained pump attendants and caretakers and WASHCOs with at least 50% female
members are reported at the end of the fiscal year. The progress of regions in rehabilitating
non-functional water points is presented as follows.
In this fiscal year, all the five project regions planned to rehabilitate community and
institutional non-functional water supply schemes. A total of 196 water points (119 community
and 77 institutional) were planned to be rehabilitated in 2008 EFY (Table 32).

The performance of the woredas in the rehabilitation of water points was very low in the
reporting period. In total, only 12 water points have been rehabilitated in the first nine months
of the fiscal year. This accounts only 6.1% of the annual plan. The rehabilitation activities were
made in some Amhara, SNNPR and Oromia woredas. The 10 rehabilitated community water
points are benefitting over 1,741 rural people of the woredas while the institutional water
points rehabilitated benefit more than 1,484 students and teachers and some 100 health
extension workers and clients of the health facilities.
On aggregate, 458 water points (445 community and 13 school) have been rehabilitated in the
project woredas since the launching of COWASH in 2004 EFY (Table 33). Majority of the
rehabilitated water points were in Amhara followed by SNNPR, Tigray and Oromia. There were
no water points rehabilitated in BSG.

5.3.4 Output 4: Potable Water Quality Ensured in Targeted Woredas
Number of water quality tests (post construction) made on CMP water schemes (new and
rehabilitations); number of chlorination made (post construction) on CMP water schemes (new and
rehabilitations) and number of CMP water schemes with Water Safety Plans are the indicators set to
measure the achievement of the output.
Numerous activities have been planned to attain this output. Though the project has been
attempting to build the capacity of the implementers and beneficiaries, the performance in this
regard is not encouraging and performances have not been reported in many of the project
woredas. This is mainly due to the lack of system in O&MM and lack of human and materials
capacity in many of the woredas.
COWASH has been trying its best in establishing systems and building the capacity of the woredas,
WASHCOs and kebele administrative structure to mitigate the problem of O&MM, water safety and
environmental protection. The project has procured Water Quality Test Kits for many of the
woredas in Amhara and SNNPR, O&MM manuals and Strategic Framework are being finalized, and
scheme management training provided to WASHCOs and woreda staff. Moreover, climate-risk
screening is made part of the field appraisal and Water Safety Planning (WSP) has been introduced
in some of the project woredas. Available data on water quality tests and chlorination are reported
at the end of every fiscal year.

6 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In this chapter, the financial utilization performance, in the reporting period of Component 1 (C-1)
and Component 2 (C-2) are elaborated.
6.1 COMPONENT 1, FEDERAL LEVEL
The COWASH expenditures started to build-up already during 2003 Ethiopian Fiscal Year (June
2011). The financial plan and usage of C-1 until the end of the reporting period (March 2016) are
presented as follows.
The total budget of Component 1 from the beginning of the COWASH (June 2011) to the end of
March 2016 was EUR 3,514,657. During the same period the C-1 expenditures have been EUR
3,503,532. This represents 99,7 % utilization rate. The quarter 3 budget of 2008 EFY was EUR
200,000 and the utilization in the same quarter was EUR 184,781. Accordingly the 2008 EFY 3rd
quarter utilization rate was 92,4 %. The savings were purposefully made in order to have enough
funds to pay all Phase II completion and remaining payments in the last quarter.
When compared the budget utilization to the COWASH Phase II budget the situation is as follows:
Component 1 budget of COWASH Phase II is EUR 1,513,547 (October 2015-June 2016)
Same budget used by March 2016 is EUR 1,286,686 (90 %) and the time used is also 90 %
The figure 2 below illustrates the total cumulative COWASH Component 1 budget and use from the
Beginning of COWASH to the end of December 2015.
Figure 2. Illustration of the C-1 Budget Utilization based on the 5 year budget period (2011-2016).
Ethiopian Fiscal Year (EFY) is for a period of July-June.
The Table 35a below provides more detailed information on the COWASH Component 1 budget
use. As can be seen from the table the total 5-year budget usage at the end of March 2016 is
94 %. The time spent from the 5 year project period is 95 %. Therefore the total 5 year budget
usage is in line.

The Phase II budget was revised as some budget lines were re-allocated without changing the
approved fee and total budget figures. The budget usage compared to revised Phase II budget
is as follows:
Fee component: 87 %
Reimbursable component: 81 %
Sector support component: 86 %
Total Phase II budget use 85 %
The time usage of Phase II is 86 %. According to this analysis the budget usage is in line
without major exceptions.
Table 35a: COWASH Component 1 budget follow-up
As a conclusion the total Component 1 budget will be used nearly 100 % by the end of Phase II
(June 30, 2016). Due to the shortage of Sector support budget COWASH sector support during
the last 3 months of the project has already been fixed and will be very limited. If savings can
be made in reimbursable and fee budget components, more sector support can then be then
provided or there is also a possibility to extent Phase II so that there would be no gap between
Phase II and III.
The use of Technical assistance in Component I of Phase II is illustrated in the table 35b below.
Table 35b: technical Assistance use in COWASH Component 1
This table clearly illustrates that the technical assistance use is in balance with the project
implementation. Six days out of the allocated 4 days for HRD Specialist will not be used in
Phase II and can therefore contribute for the possible extension of Phase II if needed.

6.2 COMPONENT 2 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The financial performance of Component 2 in the reporting period, disaggregated by project
regions, is presented hereunder.
6.2.1 Tigray Region
The funding arrangement in Tigray is governed by the funding agreement signed between the
Bureau of Plan and Finance of Tigray National Regional State and Embassy of Finland. All the
investment and some operational costs are covered by the Tigray National Regional State while the
(human and physical) capacity building fund is contributed from the Finnish Government (GoF). The
investment funds and capacity building funds are being channeled in different ways. All the
investment funds from the regional government are being channeled to the communities through
Dedebit Credit and Saving Institution (DECSI) with a commission of 5% while the capacity building
fund from the Finnish Government (GoF contribution) has been channeled through the government
financial structure as per the agreement.
An estimated amount of Birr 47.01 million (Birr 14.55 million from GoF and Birr 32.46 million from
GoE and) was allocated for 2008 EFY. Out of this, Birr 42.5 million (90.4%) was allocated for the
activities planned to be executed in the first nine months of the fiscal year.
Accordingly, some Birr 11.46 million (Birr 6.38 million from GoF and Birr 5.08 million from GoE) has
been utilized in the first nine months of the fiscal year (Table 36). This shows that only 27.0% of
the fund allocated for the reporting period has been utilized by all the beneficiaries of the project.
The low budget utilization is attributable to several factors. The main ones are: delay in the
approval of the annual plan, presence of competing activities in the woredas and low priority to
WASH activities.

As shown in Table 35 above, up until end of March 2016, Tigray region Bureau of Finance and Plan
(BoFP) received a total of Euro 1,419,191.77 (equivalent to about Birr 33,812,040.14) from the
Finland Government (GoF) and Birr 50,789,264.91 from the regional government for the
implementation of COWASH activities in the region. Out of this amount received, Birr 81.67 million
(96.5%) has been transferred to beneficiary sector offices until 30th March 2016. As a result,
72.5% of the amount transferred from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland (MFA) or 75.1% of the
amount transferred to beneficiaries have been utilized for the project activities undertaken at all
levels in the region. The regional financial report shows that Euro 765,107.29 is left at MFA out of
the amount agreed for five years.
6.2.2 SNNP REGION
The funding arrangement in SNNPR is governed by the funding agreement signed between the
Bureau of Finance and Economic Development (BoFED) of Southern Nations Nationalities and
Peoples’ Regional State and Embassy of Finland (EoF). All the investment, some operational costs
and all the physical capacity building of the new woredas and zones and are covered by the SNNPR
while the (human and physical) capacity building fund for the old woredas, zones and regional
sector offices and all the human capacity building funds for the new woredas and zones is
contributed from the Finland Government. The investment and capacity building funds are being
channeled in different ways. All the investment funds from the regional government are being
channeled to the communities through Omo Microfinance Institute (OMFI) with a commission of 3%
while the capacity building fund from the regional state and Finnish Government has been
channeled through the government financial structure as per the funding agreement.
The project has allocated an estimated amount of Birr 27.57 million (Birr 12.35 million from GoF
and Birr 15.23 million from GoE) was allocated for 2008 EFY planned activities in SNNPR. Of this
amount, an estimated amount of Birr 25.6 million (Birr 11.25 million from GoF and Birr 14.35
million from GoE) was allocated for the first nine months of the fiscal year. This accounts about
92.8% of the annual budget of the project in the region.
The regional performance report shows that some 43.7% of the budget allocated for the reporting
period has been utilized. As shown in Table 38 below, about 41.0% of the GoF and 45.9% of the
GoE funds allocated for the reporting period have been utilized. The delay in the approval of the
2008 EFY budget and presence of competing activities in the woredas were cited as the main
reasons for the low fund utilization performance of the region.

6.2.4 Amhara region
As per the funding agreement signed between the Bureau of Finance and Economic Development of
Amhara National Regional State, all capacity building and some operational costs (including RSU
costs) are covered from GoF contribution while all investment costs and some operational costs are
covered from GoE fund allocations. All the investment funds from GoE is being channeled to the
49
communities through Amhara Credit and Saving Institution (ACSI) with a commission of 3% while
the capacity building funds and operational costs from the Finnish Government has been channeled
through the government financial structure as per the funding agreement signed by the two
parties.
A total of about Birr 135.06 million (Birr 44.87 million from GoF and Birr 90.19 million from GoE)
was budgeted, including BoFED Treasury & contingency, for 2008 EFY. This amount includes the
additional budget Birr 17.54 million (14.97 million from GoE and Birr 2.55 million from GoF)
transferred for 36 project woredas. Of the total annual budget, about Birr 131.87 million (Birr 41.68
million from GoF and Birr 90.19 million from GoE) was allocated for the first nine months of the
fiscal year. This accounts about 97.6 % of the total allocated for 2008 EFY.
The regional financial performance report shows that only 30.6% of the budget allocated (24.5% of
the GoF and 33.5% of the GoE) for the reporting period has been utilized. The main reason for the
low fund utilization is the delay in the approval of the 2008 EFY and slow settlement of funs in the
project woredas. Detail of the fund utilization by cost category is presented in Table 42 below.

7 PROJECT COORDINATION WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS
The scaling-up of the CMP approach at the national level requires having meetings and discussions
with different WASH stakeholders thereby sharing the success of the CMP approach and raising
awareness and generating funds for investments. Cognizant of this fact, COWASH has been
participating in a number of meetings and discussions held in the fiscal year at the national level to
promote and share experience on the CMP approach and to attract more funds for CMP. The major
meetings and/or discussions that COWASH has participated are presented hereunder.
Water Sector Working Group (WSWG)
The WSWG Secretarial together with UNICEF is in a process to recruit an international expert to the
Secretariat. WASH technical Committee meeting (now called WASH-Sub-Group) was convened on
July 8, 2015, Nov. 25, 2015 and Oct. 30, 2015 and COWASH participated this meeting. During this
meetings, activity plan of 2008 EFY was developed, annual work plan for UWASH-TC, RWASH-TC,
EWASH-TC, action plans of Rural and Urban WASH Technical Committes under WASH-SG and
progress of Integrated Urban Sanitation & Hygiene Strategy preparation were presented and
discussed. In addition, the 2015 JMP report’s major findings in Ethiopia were presented and the
Water Sector Capacity Building 5-year plan was further discussed. CTA also participated in the
WATSAM project closing seminar, which is EU funded urban water utility capacity building project in
Arba Minch.
Self Supply Working Group (SSWG)
Self-Supply Sub Working Group (SSSWG) meeting was held in July 3, 2015 and COWASH’s Junior
Professional Expert (JE) participated in the meeting. It was informed that the name ‘Self-Supply
Sub-Working group’ is changed to Self-Supply Task Force, SNNPR water bureau procured 10,000
rope pumps, standardization of rope pump proposal will be distributed to the standardization
agency, the implementation approaches of Self Supply between partners vary; IDE is demanding
Birr 700 contribution wheras JICA requests Birr 1,500 from the beneficiary household.
MoWIE Annual Review Meeting
COWASH FTAT took part in the 2007 EFY annual performance and GTP 1 performance review held
at Adama town. Besides the performance in 2007 EFY, GTP 2 plans were discussed during the
meeting.

8 CHALLENGES
Like the previous fiscal year, different kinds of challenges have been faced during the reporting period. The major ones that require the
attention of National WaSH Steering Committee (NWSC) and Regional WaSH Steering Committee (RWSC) are indicated as follows.
Challenges Measures taken
Delay in the approval of Generic CMP Implementation Manual by MoFEC: CMP
Implementation Manual using Public Finance and Procurement Management System (PFPMS) was
developed and presented to MoFEC for approval. However, the Ministry has not yet given any official
response and a number of planned activities are still pending.
.
Embassy of Finland and COWASH CTA
have been communicating and reminding
the concerned officials in MoFEC. The
COWSH evaluation and Phase III
document preparation team has also made
discussion with the concerned officials.
Delay in preparation and approval of regional annual plans: The 2008 EFY annual plans of
COWASH in the regions were expected to be prepared before the end of 2007 EFY. However, the
preparation and approval of the plans were delayed in the regions. The delay in the preparation and
approval of annual plans hampers implementation and budget utilization of woredas.
COWASH provided technical assistance to
all the regions in the preparation of their
annual plans. Planning templates and unit
costs were prepared by COWASH FTAT and
sent to regions timely and reminders have
been sent to start the process timely.
Delay in sending quarterly reports: Quarterly performance reports are expected from regions to
prepare project performance reports at the federal level and disseminate to stakeholders and for
requesting fund transfers timely. However, the 2007 EFY annual report and the first quarter
performance report of the regions were delayed and this takes much time to prepare the
performance report of the project at the federal level. Quality of the regional reports has been
contributing for the delay in the preparation of the project level report.
Quarterly report preparation outlines and
reporting templates have been sent timely.
Moreover, COWASH FTAT has been
assisting RSUs in preparing regional
reports and providing feedbacks on the
reports sent to COWASH FTAT.

9 PERFORMANCE OF METEKEL WOREDAS
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The Community Development Fund approach was developed in Amhara Region through the RWSEP
programme over a period of 17 years in 1995-2012. It was found to be a functional platform for
sustainable, community-led Water Supply and Sanitation development. Finn WASH-BG was the first
programme to replicate, test, develop and apply this approach in Benishangul Gumuz region. The
CDF approach is currently known as CMP (Community Managed Project) in the sector wide policy
documentation in Ethiopia.
In 2011, the Ethiopian Government launched COWASH at federal level to scale-up the CMP
approach across all the Regions of Ethiopia. The CMP approach has also been officially adopted as a
financing strategy by the WASH sector Ministries at the CDF summit in Bahir Dar in February 2010.
The Finn WASH Programme is due to end in June 2013, however, the main targets of reaching 98%
UAP (Universal Access Plan) and 100% sanitation coverage as stated in the Programme Document
(PD) of 2008 could not be met by that date and the project was extended for more year. This is due
to the challenging nature of the remote, culturally diverse and geologically challenging region. Since
the Planning Phase of FinnWASH-BG, it has been evident that Benishangul Gumuz Region will
require various technologies to achieve the UAP goal of 98% water supply and 100% sanitation
coverage. To respond to this challenge, the Finn WASH-BG Programme has introduced innovative
and ambitious approaches to solving especially water supply challenges, while adopting the CDF
mechanism to medium and larger mechanized and gravity schemes. While these solutions have
brought valuable experience of how to solve WASH developments through a community-led
approach, it also requires more time to test and develop the solutions and ensure sustainable
operations.
The Ali Spring gravity water supply scheme rehabilitation and management structure is an
ambitious component of the Finn WASH-BG, launched in 2011. To ensure technical, financial and
social sustainability of this scheme, more time is required. While the physical construction of several
medium size schemes will be achieved by June 2013, the establishment of management systems
will likewise require time for adequate testing and institutionalization.
Since its inception in 2008, the Finn WASH-BG Program has achieved impressive results through the
CDF approach in five Woredas of Pawe, Mandura, Dibate, Bullen and Wombera in Metekel Zone of
Benishangul Gumuz region. The community water supply access coverage has increased from 15%
to 81.3% at the end of 2007 EFY. As a result of the project’s interventions, the water supply
coverage in schools and health facilities reached to 52% and 55%, respectively. The VIP latrine
coverage in schools and health facilities has increased to 45% and 54%, respectively. Besides,
awareness about the CDF/CMP approach and sanitation and hygiene issues has raised in all
communities where the project has intervened.
Since Oct. 2015 the project activities have been annexed to COWASH upon the phase out of the
project. The activities performed in the six months (Oct. –March 2016) in the project woredas, zone
and regional level are presented below.

9.2 CAPACITY BUILDING
9.2.1 Human Capacity Building
The capacity building activities have continued in the zone and woredas so as to sustain the project
outputs. Some trainings were planned in the first half of 2008 EFY. It was also planned to conduct
review workshop on supply chain system at woreda level in the presence of woreda executive
bodies and kebele administrators of 59 kebeles of three woredas (Bullen, Pawe and Mandura). The
workshop was conducted for 3 days with the participation of 391 people (99 females) with an
estimated cost of Birr 345,000. Moreover, refreshment training was given to 26 people (15 females)
woreda staff on financial management, procurement, property administration for 3 days at a cost of
Birr 37,250. Moreover, 86 kebele and woreda people (21 females) have received a refresher
training on O&M and scheme management training for 3 days at a cost of Birr 58,000. Overall, 503
people (26.8% female) have been trained in the reporting period at a cost of Birr 440,250. This
accounts 62.0% of the annual plan.

9.3 PHYSICAL CAPACITY BUILDING
In 2008 EFY, it was planned to procure a boat for Ali Spring rehabilitation. There were no other
material procurements planned in the fiscal year. Consequently, one old boat was procured from
Lake Tana Transport Enterprise.
9.4 ALI SPRING WATER SAFETY PLAN & REHABILITATION
In 2008 EFY, Ali Spring rehabilitation and establishment of the management system constitutes a
sub-project within the Project. A contractor was hired for the rehabilitation and the field advisor
together with the Pawe Woreda Officials have been following up the rehabilitation of the Spring. The
major accomplishments in Ali Spring rehabilitation are the following:
Construction of two fences with 74 meter long has been completed (98.7%). The fencing
was executed to stop animal entry into the water.
Fencing of some 1,150 meter gully erosion area was completed.
Repair of 150 meter fence around Ali Spring, removal of fallen tree branches and fixing holes
were executed.
Construction of 30 m3 long Gabion erosion protection was completed

The major challenges in the FinnWASH BG Woredas in the reporting period were the following:
- Repair of FinnWASH BG field vehicle was delayed for more than 2 months and this had affected
supervisions to the woredas;
- Budget for retention of water points in Wonbera Woreda was wrongly put in BoFED account and it is
taking much time to transfer the retention budget to the woreda
- Retention budget for Senkora Deep Well and 25 Hand Dug Wells in Wombera Woreda was not deducted
and deposited at the Woreda level. Some Birr 286, 000 is required for retention of Senkora deep well and
25 Hand Dug Wells in this woreda. The woreda needs Birr 216, 000 for Senkora Deep Well and Birr 70,000
for 25 Hand Dug Wells.
