USAID – Coca-Cola Company Community Watersheds Partnership Program
1. Executive Summary
The project will support Tanzania’s new water governance strategy. It will improve community access to sustainable safe water, provide sanitation services to local communities in need, and promote sustainable management of watershed and water resources in the country’s two most important basins – the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basins. The project will build on existing programs and projects of the USAID Mission in Tanzania and the International Union of the Conservation of Nature in both of these river basins. The project will also anticipate the recently approved World Bank Water Sector Support Program, which targets the Pangani River Basin in years 1 and 2 and the Wami-Ruvu in years 2-3, and includes investments in rural water and sanitation, as well as water management. Of the nine river basins in Tanzania, the two with the largest populations dependent on their water resources are the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basins. These river systems are crucial to the public and private sectors and are critical for maintaining biodiversity and managing wildlife parks and marine ecosystems. Each of these basins has experienced environmental degradation from agricultural runoff from intensive sugar, rice, and sisal cultivation; water withdrawals to supply towns and villages; sewage outfalls; increasing use of land for livestock production accompanied by overgrazing; illegal and excessive logging; and charcoal production. The project will 1) delineate the drainage basins and characterize the surface catchments in the Wami River; 2) increase the capacity of communities in water supply and sanitation through training and education, appropriate technologies, and strengthened community organizations; 3) improve community access to safe water and sanitation services; 4) promote environmental management systems to reduce wastewater discharges from the agro-industrial sector; 5) conduct an environmental flow assessment of the Wami River Basin; and 6) strengthen database management systems. Planned project outcomes include the following:
o The development and improvement of water supply systems, hygiene education, and sanitation facilities in nine wards within five districts in the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani river basins
o Strengthened Village Water Committees and the local ownership and management of water supply and sanitation services
o The identification of best practices in agro-industrial water use and wastewater discharge that improve water flow and quality and reduce business operating costs
o The identification and prioritization of threats to biodiversity in the two river basins o The production of geomorphological profile zones of the Wami River, including
surface catchment maps
3
o The determination of current and projected water available for allocation to human uses and for ecosystem maintenance in the Wami River Basin
o The increased accessibility to river basin managers of data and tools for spatial analysis of the Wami River Basin
The project will be managed through USAID/Tanzania’s environment and natural resources management strategic objective and implemented by a partnership involving the Kwanza and Bonite Coca-Cola bottlers, World Vision, the Tanzania Health, Environment and Sanitation Association (THESA), the Coastal Resources Center at the University of Rhode Island through its Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership program office located in Dar es Salaam, Florida International University through its GLOWS program site in the Mara River Basin, the Division of Environment in the Vice President’s Office, the National Environment Management Council, the Ministry of Water, the Ministry for Local Governments, the Wami-Ruvu River Water Basin Office, the Pangani River Water Basin Office, District Councils, Village Water Committees, Saadani National Park, and agro-industrial sugar and sisal producers, including the Tanganyika Planting Company and the Mtibwa Sugar factory.
2. Program Description
2.1 Problem Statement
Tanzania is divided into five primary drainage systems. In 1989, these systems were sub-divided into nine separate river and lake basins to facilitate the effective management of the country’s water resources. The river basins furthest to the north that drain into the Indian Ocean are the Wami-Ruvu and the Pangani. These are the most important freshwater basins in the country with respect to levels of population and economic activity that they support. The Wami River catchment encompasses the Wami-Mbiki pilot Wildlife Management Area, the Mtibwa sugar complex, teak plantations, the Wami rice irrigation scheme, the Chalinze-Wami water treatment plant and water distribution project, and Saadani National Park. The Ruvu River catchment is the primary source of water for Dar es Salaam, which has the largest urban population in the country. The principal source of water for the Wami-Ruvu and the Pangani river basins is Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the African continent. Its upper catchments support tropical rain forests and are rich in water, plant, and animal life, many species of which are endemic to Tanzania. The Wami-Ruvu and the Pangani river basins have experienced considerable environmental degradation over the years. This degradation has been associated with agricultural runoff from intensive sugar, rice, and sisal cultivation; water withdrawals to supply the requirements of expanding towns and villages; sewage outfalls; increasing use of land for livestock production accompanied by overgrazing; illegal and excessive logging; and the production of charcoal. One of the intents of the Tanzanian government’s water sector policy is to provide equitable access to, as well as a sustainable supply of, clean water in rural and urban areas. The National Water Policy was adopted in 2002 and the government has prepared a National Water Sector
4
Development Strategy to spearhead the implementation of this policy. Some of the more important issues addressed in the strategy include community ownership and management of water and sanitation facilities, private sector participation in development, integration of water supply and sanitation initiatives, and decentralization of service delivery to the district council level. Water supply systems have been installed or are in operation in several of the wards selected for the program, but sanitation programs are weak or absent. Some wards in the watersheds that have installed facilities and have undertaken sanitation education have identified reforestation to control erosion as the next important priority issue. In collaboration with the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani Water Basin Offices, the project will support implementation of the National Water Sector Strategy by providing critical baseline assessments required to support informed integrated water resources management and watershed management decision-making at the local, regional, and national levels, and by improving water supply and sanitation systems of selected local communities.
2.2 Goals and Objectives
The primary goals of the project are to: 1) support government efforts to achieve sustainable management of water and watershed resources in the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani river basins as articulated in the country’s National Water Sector Development Strategy and its Millenium Development goals; 2) improve community access to sustainable safe water; and 3) provide sanitation services and hygiene education to local communities. The correspondence between the primary objectives and the expected outcomes of the program are highlighted in the following table (Table 1): Table 1. Project Objectives and Outcomes

2.3 Geographic Areas of Emphasis
The project’s geographic areas of emphasis are within the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basins, consistent with the primary thrusts of Tanzania’s water policy. These locations will allow the project to consolidate the achievements of previous, as well as current, water management initiatives supported by USAID/Tanzania, including the TCMP-SUCCESS project that is implemented by the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center. This program has been active in the Wami-Ruvu River Basin for more than a year and its outputs have included the assembly of available GIS land cover information for the Wami River Basin, related GIS training, and an initial analysis of available hydrological data for the river and its tributaries. The project has been active in Bagamoyo and Pangani districts since 2001. World Vision also implements community development projects, including sanitation and hygiene education programs, in nearly all of the wards in both of the project’s basins and the local Coca-Cola bottling company partners have distribution or production facilities in most of the same locations, as well. The following table (Table 2) highlights the project’s selected districts, wards and associated villages and provides population estimates of each of these.

2.4 Technical Approach, Activities and Expected Results
2.4.1 Conceptual Framework
The project’s conceptual framework is built around the effective application of principles of integrated water resources management to problem-solving efforts at the water basin level. This approach incorporates several strategic activities to catalyze efforts to strengthen management of water resources and to increase access to improved water supply and sanitation services. It also incorporates various actions designed to eradicate important gaps in information. It seeks to establish a consensus among stakeholders across various levels of government, civil society, and the private sector. The approach is guided by the following principles:
o Build on local capacity and leadership. o Involve a broad array of stakeholders. o Capitalize on current, as well as previous, USAID investments. o Collaborate with complementary programs. o Support cross-sector linkages. o Form private sector alliances.
Project partners will act, in collaboration with the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basin Offices, the Ministry of Water, as well as District Councils and Village Water Committees, to strengthen local capacities to implement the National Water Policy and the National Water Sector Development Strategy. The project will capitalize on various other USAID investments, including the Mara River Basin project, led by one of the project’s partners (Florida International University), the Ruaha River Basin project, which provides a well-documented case study of low environmental flows, and the TCMP-SUCCESS program, which has already initiated activities in the Wami-Ruvu catchment, as well as other projects such as the IUCN Pangani River Basin Management Project, the World Wildlife Fund Rufiji River Basin project, and the experiences of THESA and World Vision with water supply and sanitation efforts in other regions of the country. The GDA-funded component of the project has a one-year timeframe, which arguably is not long enough to allow for the maturation of the participatory processes and capacity development that will be required to ensure long-term project sustainability. Participatory processes associated with successful water supply and sanitation programs are generally not expected to be fully in place, operational, and sustainable in multiple locations within a one-year time frame. The project has therefore been designed to be a four-year effort, with a significantly larger investment in the first year of project implementation. One of the initial activities of the project will be a “kick-off” planning workshop with all of the project’s partners. This will include organizations with extensive water supply and sanitation experience, such as World Vision and THESA, as well as other organizations such as Rotary International and other potential water supply implementing partners including Play Pumps and Kick Start.
10
2.4.2 Performance Management Plan
Project partners will prepare an M&E plan to identify appropriate progress indicators, following guidelines that will be provided by the Community Watershed Partnership Program. The M&E plan will link indicators to targets and the program outcomes that are described in section 2.2 of this document. The computerized system used for TCMP reporting and documentation will be extended for this program.
2.4.3 Primary Project Activities
(1) Element A: Improve community access to sustainable improved water and sanitation services
An initial needs assessment of the degree of access to improved sources of water supply used by villagers, as well as sanitation conditions and awareness of good hygiene practices, will be conducted in eight selected communities bordering the lower Wami and Pangani rivers where the USAID/Tanzania Mission supports other environmentally sustainable development interventions through its TCMP-SUCCESS project. This assessment will determine the status of potable water supply access, sanitation service access, waste management and hygiene practices, and provide the basis for developing a more comprehensive understanding of villagers’ requirements and preferences, as well as local customs. Specific water and sanitation systems for selected villages will be determined on the basis of this assessment. A hygiene behavior change promotion program will be designed that focuses on the introduction of improved latrine sanitation technology, including VIP toilets in villages and schools, but might also include the rehabilitation of water supply systems, rainwater harvesting, or development of new water points. World Vision has been selected to be the lead implementing partner responsible for water supply, sanitation and hygiene activities. It has extensive experience throughout the developing world, including more than two decades in Tanzania, where it has been active in most of the districts that are targeted within the Pangani and Wami-Ruvu catchments. It also has the capacity to implement water supply and sanitation activities successfully within a relatively short period of time. Its Water-Health-Life approach focuses on children as a primary beneficiary group, as well as an important pathway for influencing adults. For the wards that are identified in the two basins, the main focus will be on sanitation facilities and related hygiene education and behavior change. Further details are provided in the World Vision Annex. If appropriate in the context of a specific village, feasible in this time frame, and if a particular site meets the minimum conditions required by the overall USAID PlayPumps alliance, the PlayPumps water supply system may be demonstrated in at least one target village (paid for through a separate agreement).
11
In support of the National Water Sector Development Strategy, the project will strengthen community ownership and management of water supply and sanitation systems. In the eight project wards and associated villages, this will involve the active participation, as well as capacity building, of Village Water Committees and District officials. Training in water supply and sanitation, planning, leadership, and governance will be provided in the first year of project activities. Education and awareness campaigns will be designed for villages and wards under the leadership of World Vision. A rapid assessment will also be conducted of the Water User Associations that currently exist in the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basins with the objective of identifying options for capacity building in subsequent years of the project, including opportunities for forming Water User Associations near the Kwanza and Bonite Coca-Cola bottling plants. There is currently only one Water User Association, located in close proximity to the Mtibwa Sugar Factory, formed in the Wami-Ruvu River Basin. Water User Associations represent important institutional mechanisms for managing water resources under Tanzania’s current water management strategy. These associations not only provide the means for allocating water resources at the local level and ensuring their equitable distribution during periods of drought, but they also provide a point of reference for resolving local disputes over water resources.
(2) Element B: Conduct assessments and make recommendations to reduce wastewater discharges originating in the private sector.
Environmental management systems can reduce or eliminate water consumption and waste generation while improving the efficiency and profitability of farming and other commercial operations. Sugar and sisal production and processing consume large amounts of water and generate industrial wastes that can be reduced using best practices and applying appropriate process engineering technologies. In the first year of the project, efforts will be made to collaborate with two sugar processing plants and Water Basin Offices, one in the Wami River Basin and the other in the Pangani River Basin, to assess the current status of environmental management systems. While this is not intended to result in the implementation of a particular management system, the expectation is that efficiencies as well as the increased ability to comply with discharge permits required under new water and environmental laws will provide compelling incentives for operators to volunteer to test the recommendations. The Mtibwa Sugar Factory is a major water user in the Wami-Ruvu River Basin and during peak processing periods releases heavy loads of contaminants into the Wami River. Their representatives have expressed a strong interest in receiving some cost-effective technical assistance associated with reducing the impacts of these contaminants. Subsequent to establishing agreements with sugar processors, an assessment of low-cost options to reduce water contamination will be conducted by environmental management systems specialists from THESA. Separate evaluations of water consumption and waste generation associated with the Kwanza and Bonite Coca-Cola plants are also expected to be undertaken to identify best practices and requirements for technical support.
12
(3) Element C: Conduct an environmental flow assessment of the Wami River Basin.
A flow assessment measures the quantity, quality, and timing dimensions of a river basin in order to estimate the impacts of current and projected water-use requirements (agricultural, domestic, and industrial/commercial). Such an assessment has previously been initiated in both (1) the Pangani River Basin through the Pangani River Basin Management Project led by the IUCN and in (2) the Mara River Basin through the TransBoundary Water for Biodiversity Project led by Florida International University and World Wildlife Fund Tanzania. The planned assessment of the Wami River Basin would involve providing a descriptive characterization of the catchment basin, selecting and applying an appropriate methodology for determining ecosystem water requirements and current water use, applying available water flow models, and setting condition and use objectives to compare alternative water use allocations. The environmental flow assessment of the Wami River Basin will be led by Florida International University and conducted in collaboration with the Wami-Ruvu River Basin Office and other stakeholders using internationally accepted assessment methodologies. These stakeholders will contribute to field assessments, the establishment of objectives, and the evaluation of alternative use scenarios. The activity will also provide rapid assessments of the estuarine areas of the Wami River in the coastal and marine interface to determine ecosystem condition, links with the upper watershed, and valued ecosystem components.
(4) Element D: Strengthen government information management systems for water resources management.
Spatial information and database management systems are critical for planning, setting priorities, and making decisions. This activity will strengthen the capacity of the Wami-Ruvu River Water Basin Office for using database management and geographic information systems in partnership with the GIS Office of the Water Ministry. The need for capacity building in information management systems has been identified in the Wami-Ruvu Basin Office Business Plan, 2005. This activity will build on the limited training that has been previously provided to the Basin Office through the USAID SUCCESS project. Florida International University will play a lead role in this initiative.
2.5 Plan for Sustainability and Institutional Management
The partnership with local Coca Cola bottlers as well as the continued support provided through the USAID/Tanzania Mission, will ensure that a significant local presence will be maintained well beyond the period of the CWPP funding through the full four-year project time frame. This approach will provide local village and district institutions and national partners with the mandate, as well as capacity, to continue water management activities in project-supported areas. Important institutions with oversight responsibilities that have already established an active partnership with USAID/Tanzania include the Division of Environment in the Vice President’s Office, the National Environmental Management Council, the Ministry of
13
Water, District Councils, and the Wami-Ruvu Water Basin Office. Sustainability will also be promoted through project implementation strategies, including participatory processes and capacity building methodologies that support local ownership. Project activities are designed to catalyze new approaches that empower local institutions and stakeholders.
3. Implementation
The project will be implemented by a combination of strategic partners, including the Kwanza and Bonite Coca-Cola bottlers, the Coastal Resources Center of the University of Rhode Island through its Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership program office located in Dar es Salaam, Florida International University through its GLOWS program site in the Mara River Basin, the Division of Environment in the Vice President’s Office, the National Environment Management Council, the Ministry of Water, the Ministry for Local Governments, the Wami-Ruvu River Water Basin Office, the Pangani River Water Basin Office, District Councils, Village Water Committees, Saadani National Park, and agro-industrial sugar and sisal producers, including the Tanganyika Planting Company and the Mtibwa Sugar factory. The Tanzania Health, Environment and Sanitation Association will focus on design of sanitation facilities and environmental management systems for industries and World Vision will be the lead implementing partner responsible for water supply and sanitation activities, including community hygiene education, as well as education resulting in behavior change. The offices and facilities of the Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership will serve as the headquarters of the project.
3.1 Program Management
The USAID/Tanzania Mission through its Environment and Natural Resources Management strategic objective will be responsible for managing the project in the field, in coordination with GETF on behalf of the CWPP. This will include responsibility for approving work plans, monitoring project activities, and evaluating project accomplishments. The University of Rhode Island will be responsible for work planning and implementation, including managing subcontracts, technical assistance, and reporting. Project accomplishments will be guided by the completion of work plan activities and the progress achieved in meeting established Performance Monitoring Plan targets. The terms of reference for securing a CWPP Local Program Coordinator were prepared and the position announcement that was advertised is provided as an Annex. A short-list of candidates was interviewed and a Program Coordinator was subsequently selected. The Program Coordinator will report to the Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership Project Manager and the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center Project Manager. The Project Coordinator will act to insure that partners will work as a unified team through joint preparation of the work plan, careful integration of individual terms of reference, and continuous consultation and mutual support in carrying out tasks, logistics and information sharing.

Program of Work
The University of Rhode Island will be responsible for implementing this program. An integrated, cohesive approach to project management is a critical success factor for the CWPP. The proposal builds on the existing Tanzania coastal management program and is a direct outgrowth of on-going work in the Wami and Pangani river basins. The best way to make the CWPP activities sustainable is within the framework of continued partner funding through the USAID Tanzania Sustainable Coastal Communities (SUCCESS) program, which will continue to work in the basin on all of the elements of the CWPP:
o • Community water supply, sanitation and education o • Environmental Management Systems o • Environmental Flows assessment o • Information systems for water resource management
for several years after the GDA funds are utilized. The goal is to maintain an agile, synchronized program necessary during the accelerated one- year time frame allotted for implementation of Year One activities. A well functioning infrastructure and staff is already in place to administer the CWPP through URI and the TCMP offices. By contrast, awarding separate contracts to implementing partners would increase the oversight burden to the GETF, including the results monitoring and tracking and reporting, and would increase transaction costs. It would also undermine the ability of the project coordinator to maintain necessary performance based controls and would impede the rapid establishment of collegial, problem-solving project management style. USAID Tanzania has had an on-going program, the Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership-Sustainable Coastal Communities and Ecosystems, since 1997, that includes office infrastructure, working relationships with national agencies as well as wards and districts, and a broad and deepening knowledge and experience with the people, places and issues in coastal watersheds. It should also be noted that URI has a significant advantage of sustainability as it is in the second year of a five-year cooperative agreement with USAID Tanzania and one of the life of program themes is working in the Wami River region. The CWPP is a direct extension of this work. The following budget, provided in the table below (Table 5), matches costs by object class category and program element. Key details are explained in this narrative.

Salaries Coastal Resource Staff salaries are based on current salaries in effect through June 30, 2007. Cost of living increases of 3.5%, effective July 1, 2007, are not reflected in the budget for CWPP as they will be absorbed through the Tanzania SUCCESS program, which has a longer time commitment. Salary increases are annual raises (anticipated to be effective July 1) negotiated through a union bargaining process and are not discretionary. Daily rates are calculated at 260 working days per annum. Monthly rates are annual divided by twelve months. Salaries have been allocated to program element-based preliminary estimates of effort in line with 50% going to "Community water supply, sanitation and education" (referred to as element A from here on out), which includes strengthening capacity of local communities, public education and outreach activities as well as sanitation construction. Fringe URI Fringe benefits include retirement, health insurance, and group life insurance and social security taxes. As the rates vary by person, an average rate of 45% has been applied to all salaries. Fringe benefits are set by employment contract at URI and are not discretionary. The fringe is allocated in line with salary. Severance accrual for local staff is budgeted in the Tanzania Success life of project work plan and has not been segregated in the CWPP budget. Local Staff Local staff costs are based on current rates for the Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership (TCMP) Manager, Administration and Finance Officer and Driver. The Local Coordinator is a new position created for the CWPP. The coordinator rate is based on the average rate in Dar Es Salaam for a short-term professional position requiring a bachelors degree in water supply and sanitation, water resources management, or a related field and five years experience in the field. The TCMP Manager effort is budgeted at 2 months with 50% of his time allocated to the Community sanitation and education element working with the officials at the district, ward and national level. The Local Coordinator is expected to spend 50% of his/her effort on the community sanitation and education element A. The current budget reflects this estimate. The driver's time is also 50% allocated to element A as it is assumed that any trip to the field with the local coordinator will touch upon element A and to attempt to segregate the driver’s time across the elements would be difficult to track. The Administration and Finance Officer is allocated 50% to element A and as the largest dollar through-put and activity is assigned to this task, her time is budgeted accordingly.
20
Subcontracts: All sub agreements will be awarded and administered through the University of Rhode Island. The intended recipients are World Vision to implement the community sanitation (program element A) with some engineering assistance on this task from THESA. THESA will also work on the Environmental Management Systems component. Florida International University, a USAID co-operator under the GLOWS program, will lead the Environmental Flows Assessment. All sub-recipients are subject to standard US federal regulations governing the administration of government grants and contracts. Operating costs: Only direct project costs are included in the CWPP budget as the office infrastructure in Dar Es Salaam is provided by the TCMP Office for the local coordinator and driver. A TCMP vehicle will be at the local coordinator’s disposal full-time after the rehabilitation estimated cost of $3,000 has been allocated to purchase new tires and a tune up and to provide any parts that are required to bring the Toyota Land Cruiser into field ready condition. This cost has been split up among the different program elements. This resource will also be made available to THESA staff, with a number of joint trips to sites planned to maximize the efficient use of resources. Fuel allocation is divided between the tasks with 50% allocated to element A in line with the percentage of the overall budget. The cost of seedlings is estimated at 500 Tsh per seedling. The budget allows for the purchase of not less than 10,000 seedlings and related supplies to plant. This is incorporated into element C, as an early action related to the Environmental Flows theme. Launch and meeting costs are estimates of what each modest event (Pangani and Dumila) will cost inclusive of lunch and transport costs, venue rental and lodging for participants that must overnight to attend a late morning ceremony. Village meetings will also be included in this line item, but may be covered by the Tanzania Success budget where applicable. Travel International Airfares are stated as estimates, based on the historical average rate for economy class service. Per Diem has been included at a modified GSA rate for foreign travel as is representative of the lodging costs that CRC travelers historically incur of not more than $75. We anticipate modest accommodations at the field sites will be about half of this cost. Meals and incidentals are stated at the maximum GSA rate for Dar Es Salaam of $91/day as published on December 27, 2006. http://www.state.gov/m/a/als/prdm/2005/43953.htm#maximum
21
The Program Manager plans three (3) trips of approximately 21 days each. The cost of the Program Manager travel has been allocated in accordance with the effort--50% to element A, the remainder divided among elements B, C and D. The Associate Coastal Manager will take one trip on the GDA funds and one on the Tanzania Success Year Two budget. These trips will be related to the Environmental Management and Environmental Flows tasks. There are two administrative/finance trips allocated for this year, one on CWPP/GDA funds for project start up and work planning and one on the Tanzania Success project for CWPP close out and Tanzania Success work planning for Year Three. Local travel Assumes hotel expense not to exceed $30 per night on average. Meals and incidentals are based on the Tanzania Success rate of 35,000 Tsh per day as per the Standard Operating Procedures manual for the Tanzania Success project (Nov 05). Currently, the CWPP budget has 165 driver-days included in the budget for travel to the field sites. THESA will draw upon these resources in order to maximize the efficiency of vehicle and local travel expenditures, which is why a total of 347 days of per diem for the coordinator and THESA staff is shown. Indirect Costs The URI Indirect Cost rate is 32.8%, which is applied in accordance with URI published rates for sponsored training and in line with the URI based portion of the Tanzania Success project. Indirect charges are applied to all budget items excluding tuition and capital equipment. Sub-agreements incur indirect charges on the first $25,000 of each agreement only. The balance in excess of $25,000 is exempt. Additional information regarding these rates or the governing agreement is on file at the Research Office, University of Rhode Island. http://www.uri.edu/research/tro/indircost.htm The University of Rhode Island cognizant agency is the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). All applicable OMB circulars are followed, including A-21 and A-110 and a A-133 audit is conducted annually.

Capabilities Statement Since 1971 the Coastal Resources Center (CRC) has dedicated itself to developing strategies for the effective management of coastal environments using an approach that:
o provides for both development and conservation o utilizes adaptive learning o actively involves major stakeholders in defining priority environmental resource
issues o emphasizes equity in decision-making o disseminates learning through knowledge management systems
CRC has conducted this work through both long-term and short-term programs and partnerships. CRC has completed all work on time and on budget, has delivered high quality services and products, and has been evaluated highly by both donors and clients. International programs began in 1985 and include two long-term Cooperative Agreements with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through which the Center implemented pioneering coastal management programs in Ecuador, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Kenya and Tanzania. CRC has also received funding from the Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank, Swedish International Development Agency, United Nations Global Environment Facility, the Government of Ecuador, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and private and corporate foundations. CRC is recognized worldwide as a leader in coastal management and is known for linking good governance with good science and management. In addition to its permanent staff, the Center has access to experienced academic partners at the University of Rhode Island and resource experts in countries and agencies around the world. CRC complements its expertise in coastal management, conservation and gender with the expertise of individual and organizational partners. Engagement in Tanzania Since 1996 the Coastal Resources Center (CRC) at the University of Rhode Island (URI), with funding from bilateral donors including USAID, the World Bank and private foundations, has worked in mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar on coastal resources management initiatives. Its activities are implemented through the Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership (TCMP), an institutional arrangement established with assistance from USAID between CRC/URI and the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC). Its goal has been to establish a sustainable integrated coastal management (ICM) program in Tanzania. This involves making ICM the business of national level government and using decentralized mechanisms at the district and local levels. The TCMP has achieved important progress, completing a portfolio of $6 million in projects through 2005, and presently undertaking a new phase of work. The intent is to conserve coastal and marine biodiversity while improving the well-being of coastal residents through the implementation of the Tanzania National Integrated Coastal Environmental Management Strategy. The project builds upon prior investments to create the
23
enabling conditions for improved coastal governance in Tanzania and will assist three districts to take the critical “next steps” that help them advance from integrated coastal management (ICM ) planning and testing to ICM implementation. The Tanzania Project also focuses on land-seascape management encompassing the Wami River basin, including the Sadaani National Park, Maziwe Reserve and the coastal seascapes in Pangani and Bagamoyo districts. Current TCMP work emphasizes local actions that promote coastal and marine resources management best practices – e.g., co-management for near-shore fishery areas, including the establishment of no-take conservation zones, and small-scale enterprise development in mariculture and tourism. Activities are nested within the management and action plans being implemented by districts, individual marine reserve and park authorities, and river basin authorities. This “nesting” provides for a strategic, integrated landscape and seascape approach to coastal resources management and bio-diversity protection. The following ongoing activities are closely related to the Community Watershed Partnership Program activities:
o Initial assessments will be made of the impacts on the lower basin’s estuarine biodiversity, ecological health, and fisheries as influenced by reduced freshwater flows from the Wami River; this information will be used in basin-wide planning by the Wami-Ruvu River Water Basin Office.
o Techniques will be applied to the lower basin Wami River watershed to identify conservation priorities and to assess threats to maintaining desired ecosystem qualities for the coastal areas in and around Sadaani National Park.
o Local capacity will be established to monitor the condition and health of the ecosystems within fisheries management areas and the data will be applied to manage coastal resources adaptively.
o District ICM action plans will be updated and incorporated into district development plans and budgets, and districts are expected to contribute resources towards their implementation.

I-2 World Vision
Program of Work
World Vision will take the lead on program element A. makes a commitment to incorporate behavior change as an integral part of its activities and to spread the methodology through training others. Behavior Change Communication (BCC) is an interactive process with communities to develop tailored messages and approaches using a variety of communication channels to develop positive behaviors; promote and sustain individual, community and societal behavior change; and maintain appropriate behaviors. Community capacity building plays a central role in World Vision Tanzania to ensure that all programs are owned, managed and monitored by representatives who are accountable to their respective communities. Adult learning techniques as well as child friendly activities and materials are used to disseminate information on hygiene and induce positive change in personal behavior and school sanitation. World Vision, with the assistance of THESA, will from the beginning strive to ensure that communities accept that they are owners and managers of the proposed Community Watershed Partnership Program. The general approach and identification of needs for the targeted village locations will be in consultation with ward and district level officials. For planning purposes the illustrative budget plan shown below focuses on public sanitation facilities. However, during the community consultation and planning process it is expected that this set of actions will be revised and could include one or more wells and other measures as deemed appropriate and feasible. Task 1. Water and Sanitation Committees established/strengthened in identified Villages in each of the 8 wards SubTask 1A : Coordinate community meetings to introduce and discuss on project implementation
Conducting advocacy to district and local council leaders, selected project village leaders, influential and water and sanitation partners in selected wards in the Wami River Basin and lower Pangani Basin regions, aiming to create awareness of the project and promotion of water, hygiene and sanitation in the communities. Sharing information with decision makers at local levels and project stake holders on issues and recommendations.
SubTask 1B: Carry out participatory needs assessment
Assessing capacity of village water committees in relation to water supply and sanitation using a participatory approach. Conducting advocacy at various levels of communities and institutions from the selected project villages. Enhancing and mobilizing resources from various stakeholders to facilitate project implementation. Promoting active participation of a wide spectrum of the community in decision making, especially women and other vulnerable groups.
25
During the initial participatory needs assessment session it is expected that hygiene and sanitation issues shall be identified (e.g., health risks within a particular village, the status of existing water sources, water handling and storage, common diseases, sanitation facilities at household and institutional levels, knowledge of HIV/AIDS education for the communities and specifically WUAs/WATSAN committees and local leaders)
SubTask 1C: Form and/or strengthen existing water and sanitation committees
Developing village water committee plans. Training of water user associations and/or water and sanitation committees in community management skills and in acquiring a workable framework for their WSS organizations.
SubTask 1D: Train Water and sanitation Committees on Sustainable Management of facilities
Designing training and education on hygiene training material gathering and training manual preparation. The hygiene education program will use the approach termed as Behavior Change Communication initiative using several Groups - using drama, theater art, posters, and school groups.
Task 2. Community Health Volunteers and Village Water Committees empowered on improved sanitation practices SubTask 1A : Training of Community Health Agents and Village Water Committees on Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation (PHAST)
In collaboration with THESA, World Vision will facilitate communities to select their own animators (volunteers) who will work will other project teams in various stages of the project. Specifically these community-based volunteers will be instrumental in creating rapport and trust between the project team and communities. It is expected that these volunteers will continue to give support during and after project implementation.
SubTask 1B : Facilitate at least reasonable number of Village Health Volunteers 1in each of the 8 wards to monitor impact of project (education, facilities)
Participating in construction of sanitation and water supply facilities. Facilitating communities to establish self support system in order to secure the sustainability of the improved WSS facilities. Testing communities capabilities in managing community self-help activities such as organizing themselves for construction of a VIP latrine at a local school
SubTask 1C: Development and/or adoption of training curriculum and BCCI materials for dissemination (TH
In collaboration with THESA, World Vision will commence hygiene and sanitation education campaigns according to a participatory plan.
26
Task 3. Improve access to sustainable clean water sources and/or environmental sanitation facilities in villages in 8 wards. A typical village program of actions would include the following:
SubTask 1A: Conduct hydro-geological and geophysical survey SubTask 1B: Construction of environmental sanitary facilities in public places eg. Ventilated Improved Pit Latrines (VIP) SubTask 1C: Construction or rehabilitation of shallow/medium wells Ta
An individual work program for each of the villages with timeline and specific budget will be prepared as soon as possible after the participatory needs assessment, 1.1.B. Table 7. Details of villages identified for sanitation projects.

Capabilities Statement
World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization that works for the well-being of all people, especially children, without regard to religion, race, gender, or ethnicity. World Vision employs 20,000 staff members around the world and works in nearly 99 countries to provide emergency relief, education, health care, safe water supplies and improved sanitation, food security, agricultural and animal husbandry training, economic development, and to promote peace and justice. Through these interventions, World Vision empowers impoverished communities to take control of their future livelihoods. In 2003 alone, World Vision served 100 million people, among which 2.2 million children directly benefited through child sponsorship. For more information visit http://www.worldvision.org. All World Vision’s water programs are implemented within the organization’s Area Development Programs (ADPs), which represent a comprehensive development strategy that incorporates a multi-sectoral, phased approach to community capacity building. Geographically, an ADP covers a contiguous area within a political district. Through ADPs, World Vision engages a defined group of communities in the transformational process of their
28
own development with the goal of making improvements both collaborative and sustainable. Participants include the communities, local governing councils, government, research institutions and other NGOs. The ADP concept typically integrates the following sectors: clean water and sanitation, primary health care, food security, education and literacy, and economic development. These sectors build on each other, beginning with clean water and progressing through economic development. World Vision’s unique ADP approach provides the necessary hardware, software, and long-term investment of 15 to 20 years of time to create sustainable, transformational development. Communities are engaged in the transformational process of their own development, making improvements both collaborative and sustainable. In communities where World Vision works to provide potable water and sanitation services, IWRM is employed to improve water supplies, restore the environment, and increase economic opportunity in communities. World Vision employs a sustainable management approach to its water programs that links social and economic development while not compromising the sustainability of local ecosystems. In its projects worldwide, World Vision seeks results that simultaneously reduce poverty, help to restore damaged environments and ecosystems, and contribute to constructive partnerships and collaboration with government bodies. Water supply and sanitation must be adaptable to economic, social, and environmental change to sustain the livelihoods of the people and protect the environment. Extensive technical support for water development and health exists within World Vision. World Vision relies on extensive past experience in water supply programs and utilizes a variety of technologies including drilling borehole wells, harvesting mountain springs to feed valley reservoirs, capping springs for gravity-fed piped systems, and installing rainwater catchment systems. World Vision brings extensive field and program experience in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), approaching the issues from the dual perspectives of biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation. They also offer a global infrastructure consisting of offices and skilled staff located in more than 50 of the 80 countries served by USAID. Importantly, their project experience extends to virtually every USAID Mission country. World Vision in Tanzania (WVT) The WVT Vision Statement is:
Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness; Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so.
WVT operates in 32 districts within 13 regions impacting lives of more than 4.5 million Tanzanians, currently managing 100+ community based projects in 70 comprehensive Area Development Programs. The FY 06 budget was $ 48 million. Ten percent of the annual budget supports water and environmental sanitation interventions in our areas of operations (5% of this is special water and sanitation programs) WVT Areas Of Operation Water and Sanitation interventions in WVT address access and sustainable community-based management of safe water and sanitation facilities by:
29

Program of Work
Introduction Of the nine river basins in Tanzania, the two with the largest populations dependent on their water resources are the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basins. These river systems are crucial to the public and private sectors and are critical for maintaining biodiversity and managing wildlife parks and marine ecosystems. Each of these basins has experienced environmental degradation from agricultural runoff from intensive sugar, rice, and sisal cultivation; water withdrawals to supply towns and villages; sewage outfalls; increasing use of land for livestock production accompanied by overgrazing; illegal and excessive logging; and charcoal production. The project will 1) delineate the drainage basins and characterize the surface catchments in the Wami and Pangani Rivers; 2) build the capacity of communities in water supply and sanitation through training and education, appropriate technologies, and strengthened community organizations; 3) improve community access to safe water and sanitation services; 4) promote environmental management systems to reduce wastewater discharges from the agro-industrial sector; 5) conduct an environmental flow assessment of the Wami River Basin; and 6) strengthen database management systems. Florida International University, through the Global Water for Sustainability (GLOWS) Program based at this institution, will play a primary role in implementation of two major project activities: (1) conducting an environmental flow assessment for the Wami River and providing local water offices with environmental flow recommendations; and (2) strengthening information systems for water resources management in the Wami Basin. 1. Environmental flows assessment for the Wami River A flow assessment measures the quantity, quality, and timing dimensions of a river basin to estimate the impacts of current and projected water-use requirements (agricultural, domestic, and industrial/commercial). Such an assessment has previously been initiated in both (1) the Pangani River Basin through the Pangani River Basin Management Project led by the IUCN and in (2) the Mara River Basin through the TransBoundary Water for Biodiversity Project led by Florida International University and World Wildlife Fund Tanzania. The assessment of the Wami River Basin will involve providing a descriptive characterization of the catchment basin, selecting and applying an appropriate methodology for determining ecosystem water requirements and current water use, applying available water flow models, and setting condition and use objectives to compare alternative water use allocations. Over the past few decades, more than 200 methodologies have been developed or implemented throughout the world to determine environmental flows. One of the most robust methodologies for estimating environmental flows is the Building Block Methodology (BBM),
32
which is widely applied in Africa and provides reliable environmental flows with minimal data requirements. The methodology involves mapping riverine habitats as a function of water level (i.e. flow) and evaluating the temporal dynamics of habitat appearance and disappearance over the course of a hydrological year. The method is applied by a minimal team of scientists consisting of a hydrologist, hydraulic engineer, geomorphologist, and a freshwater ecologist. The method is applied through a procedure consisting of a minimum of two workshops separated by a period (several months) of data preparation, analysis and interpretation. The outcome is a precise prescription of water needs for the environment. Well executed environmental flow determinations are increasingly recognized as a tool to reduce social conflict and environmental degradation due to the overuse of water in the river basins of the world. The key is that quantifications are scientifically defensible and that there is agreement between water users across sectors. The environmental flow assessment of the Wami River Basin will be led by Florida International University and conducted in collaboration with the Wami-Ruvu River Basin Office and other stakeholders using internationally accepted assessment methodologies. These stakeholders will contribute to field assessments, the establishment of objectives, and the evaluation of alternative use scenarios. The activity will also provide rapid assessments of the estuarine areas of the Wami river in the coastal and marine interface to determine ecosystem condition, links with the upper watershed, and valued ecosystem components. The assessment will begin in early 2007 and will be carried out by local experts with advisory support from Dr. Elizabeth Anderson and Dr. Michael McClain of FIU-GLOWS. Tasks planned to complete this activity are listed below. All tasks will be completed within a one year period. Task 1: Convene first workshop of experts. • Sub-Task 1A: Identify and recruit team of local and international experts. • Sub-Task 1B: Reach consensus on methodological approach and identify data
availability and data needs. • Sub-Task 1C: Coordinate and plan analytical phase of assessment. Task 2: Execute 6-month analytical phase of assessment. • Sub-Task 2A: Develop, calibrate, and validate hydrological runoff model for Wami River
Basin. • Sub-Task 2B: Map river cross-sections and develop model of habitat variability as a
function of water level (i.e. flow). • Sub-Task 2C: Evaluate habitat needs of aquatic and semi-aquatic species in riverine,
estuarine, and coastal environments. Task 3: Convene second workshop of experts to evaluate analytical results and determine environmental flow requirements. • Sub-Task 3A: Conduct joint analysis and interpretation of data using Building Block
Methodology. • Sub-Task 3B: Produce final report of environmental flow prescription.
33
Task 4: Disseminate outcome of environmental flow assessment to local water offices. • Sub-Task 4A: Meet with local water officers to inform them of results and seek
endorsement of findings. • Sub-Task 4B: Distribute environmental flows report to additional stakeholders, respond
to questions, and seek endorsement. 2. Strengthening information systems for water resources management Spatial information and database management systems are critical for planning, setting priorities, and making decisions. This project will fill crucial data and information gaps by delineating the drainage basins and characterizing the surface catchments in the Wami and Pangani Rivers. A series of maps will be produced that will be distributed to water offices and other stakeholders in the Wami Basin. The project also seeks to strengthen the capacity of the Wami-Ruvu River Basin Office for using database management and geographic information systems in partnership with the GIS Office of the Water Ministry. Task 1: Gather and evaluate existing spatial data on the Wami and Pangani River Basins • Sub-Task 1A: Contact local water offices and others to obtain existing GIS information
on the basins. • Sub-Task 1B: Consult with local water offices to identify information and data needs. Task 2: Produce maps and other materials for planning and management activities • Sub-Task 2A: Delineate the Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River drainage basins. • Sub-Task 2B: Characterize Wami and Pangani River surface catchments according to
geomorphological profile zones. • Sub-Task 2C: Create basin-scale maps. Task 3: Disseminate information to stakeholders in the basin. • Sub-Task 3A: Distribute maps and other materials to water offices and additional
stakeholders, and respond to questions.

Marking Plan
47
This Marking Plan is prepared for the Community Watershed Partnerships Program (CWPP) in Tanzania. It supplements that of the global Community Watershed Partnerships Program (CWPP) managed by the Global Environment & Technology Foundation (GETF). (1) Description of public communications, commodities, and program materials (i) Program, project, or activity sites funded by USAID that are physical in nature:
Because the Tanzania CWPP will address challenges unique to a given communities, it is impossible to know precisely what physical materials will ultimately be constructed until site assessments and meetings with local communities and government are completed.
However, it is expected that improved latrine systems will be constructed in many locations. For these, and all other physical construction, the CWPP-Tanzania will comply with USAID marking requirements.
(ii) Technical assistance, studies, reports, papers, publications, audio-visual productions, public service announcements, Web sites/Internet activities and other promotional, informational, media, or communications products funded by USAID:
In conjunction with GETF, the CWPP-Tanzania will develop printed materials (brochures, project reports, PowerPoint presentations, and press releases) as well as an internet presence (website) designed to promote the project.
(iii) Events financed by USAID:
The implementing partners, in coordination with GETF, will organize launch events and host workshops designed to facilitate information exchange between project partners.
(iv) Commodities financed by USAID:
The CWPP-Tanzania may acquire outreach items, such as bags, caps, shirts, pens, notebooks and binders for outreach and visibility.
(2) Program deliverables to be marked
Pursuant to USAID regulations, program outreach materials, deliverables, presentations, and related products are branded with the USAID identity. In cases where they are co-branded, USAID’s identity will be of equal or greater size and prominence. The brandmark specific to Tanzania will be used.
The logo and brandname of the primary implementing partners (Coastal Resources Center of the University of Rhode Island; Florida International University (FIU), and World Vision) will also be shown on all relevant program outreach materials, deliverables, presentations and publications. As appropriate the project will also add the logos of other partners.
Outreach and communications materials, deliverables, training materials, presentations, and related products that will be marked with the USAID brandmark include:
48
• Web site. The project will be described at the CRC website: <www.crc.uri.edu/projects.php>. • Work plans, quarterly and reports will be co-branded with the USAID brandmark • Program fact sheets, case studies, pamphlets, brochures, workshop proceedings etc. are co-branded with the USAID identity, with USAID’s identity being of equal or greater size and prominence • PowerPoint (PPT) presentations are co-branded with the USAID logo – and implementing partner logos as appropriate • Technical reports that are made available for external communication and outreach are co-branded with the USAID identity • Visible infrastructure, such as latrines and other items physical in nature that the project contributed will be marked either with a plaque or decal with the USAID and Coca-Cola company brandmark • Notebooks, binders, caps or other items purchased by the project for training events or for outreach in the project office, local government or villages will be marked with the USAID brandmark Program deliverables will be marked upon submission. (3) Program deliverables not to be marked • Trip reports and draft program materials such as technical reports for internal project use will not be marked
