WASH sector developments

A water sector policy is in place since 2007 with support by ODI.

A WASH strategic framework is finalized early 2011 with support of IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre. In the context of this work an online database of relevant sector documents has been made available.

Sector information management and GIS are gradually being put in place.

A next step should be the elaboration of multi-year sector development investment plans.

The sector is steered by the SSWSSC, implementing NGOs under guidance of UNICEF have formed and active WASH cluster and related WASHforum using a googlegroup.

Hi,

 I would like to introduce myself as the Environmental and Social Specialist for the World Bank Funded Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Projects in Aweil, Kuajok, Rumbek and Yambio.  Under this project, we would like to hire an NGO to conduct household surveys in these towns to assess the socioeconomic conditions and KAP towards water and sanitation. If any of you are interested or you know someone who might be interested, please contact me at venkata@eng-consult.com

 

I appreciate your help.

 

Regards,

A central role for government in monitoring sustainable WASH services

Governments are not only investing more in national monitoring systems, but their leadership in country monitoring is also now generally accepted. With this acceptance, however, come expectations about good governance and transparency. Monitoring is politics: agendas and power influence what is monitored and how the results are used. National systems, too, go beyond WASH sector monitoring and should include data from donors and NGOs as well.
