AGENDA

Standing Items

1. Introductions: members introduced themselves 2. Agree minutes and review actions from previous meeting

No minutes from previous meeting as there were only presentations done. 3. Need

a) Update of immediate needs: Feedback from organizations on reported AWD cases AWD outbreak has been reported in Johar, Buale, Ceelwaq, Sakow, luuq and belethawa. In Johar, all the 6 reported cases were treated and discharged, no new cases reported. Interventions seem to have an impact as the current situation has stabilized.

b) Future scenario (e.g. rain/drought forecast). According to SWALIM; there remains a moderate risk of flooding along the Shabelle River given the rainfall forecast for the coming weeks. There is however minimal risk of flooding during the coming weeks along the juba rivers. According to FEWSNET; from November 1st-10th, confirmed rains subsided in many parts of Somalia. Latest report indicates rains continued in many parts of central region between November 11th -12th. In South Somalia, between November 1st-10th most areas experienced reduction in rainfall. The entire middle shabelle was dry, most of lower juba and lower shabelle experienced moderate rainfall. Flooding has been reported in Dhobley, beletweyne, merka and Kurnuwarey in lower shabelle. WASH cluster partners in the region s are conducting response activities. Response is continuing and has been picking up. Some agencies have submitted ERF proposals to respond to the situation, the proposals are under review. The chair reminded the meeting that we are currently experiencing the deyr rains And therefore Members were encouraged to start early preparation for AWD/Cholera preparedness and response activities.

4. Feedback from field clusters: Presentation of Feed ups/Key highlights received from the regional meetings in Gedo, Middle Shabelle, Hiran, Puntland, galgadud, Mudug, Galkayo, Middle and lower Juba,




Banadir and Bay/Bakool was shared. (Attached with the minutes, is summary of key highlights, challenges and action points from the regional WASH cluster meetings.) 5. CAP 2013-2015: process, response plan and projects The chair took the meeting through the WASH cluster objectives 2013-2015 and the CAP process. Objectives: 1) Cluster objective #1-1: Provide access to safe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for people in emergency need 2) Cluster objective #1-2: Emergency preparedness and early response to humanitarian emergencies 3) Cluster objective #2/3/4-1: Provide reliable and sustained access to safe water based on identified strategic water points, establishment of sustainable management structures and development of sustained household water treatment strategies. 4) Cluster objective #2/3/4-2: Provide reliable and sustainable access to environmental sanitation. All sanitation access programs must be coupled with sustained hygiene practice promotion for the targeted population. 5) Cluster objective #2/3/4-3: Support continuous development of better Information Management tools for enhanced monitoring, early warning and emergency preparedness 6) Cluster objective #2/3/4-4: Strengthen the capacity of local WASH cluster actors to improve knowledge, ability and resilience of the community, and address gender gaps Selection process: Step1 - 171 CAP sheets were pre-filtered according to OCHA Common Criteria (OCHA CAP 2013-2015 Guidance Note) - A cap sheet is discarded when it scores zero for two, or more than two in the essential criteria - Based on this, 96 from 171 CAP sheets, were discarded, leaving 75 for the technical review by CRC Step 2 - The 75 CAP sheets were evaluated by CRC according to 11 technical criteria (area and type of intervention) for a maximum of 50 points Summary of selection process:




Comments:

• No comments were raised on this. The chair made a Presentation of CHF second allocation process

• Selection Criteria were developed by the WASH CRC for both lifesaving and IDP durable solution response.

• The selection criteria were circulated to the WASH Agencies in CAP 2012 on 02 October 2012.

• Following submission of the proposals, the CRC met on 10-11, Oct 2012 to score and review each proposal. The top ranking proposals for each region per envelope (provided by CHF board) were recommended for funding.

• Agencies were requested to update proposals in the CHF database, based on initial feedback/questions from the WASH CRC.

For the CHF second allocation, funds will be received by end of December then implementation can start in the beginning of January. Members were then requested to focus more on sanitation activities in the future with similar number of beneficiaries in both area (water and sanitation). Action: the cluster coordinator to share a map on CHF standard 2nd allocation implementing partners 2012 with all the WASH cluster partners 6. Presentation on CLTS – community led total sanitation A brief presentation on CLTS was done by a UNICEF consultant. What is community Led Total sanitation?

• It’s a community-led / driven approach • Involves/affects everyone in communities and addresses total elimination of open

defecation • Collective community decision & collective local action are keys in CLTS • It heavily relies on the element of shame, disgust and fear • Its non-subsidy approach • Social solidarity and cooperation are in abundance • Actions are locally decided and don't depend on external subsidies, prescriptions or

pressure • Natural Leaders emerge from collective local actions who lead future collective

initiatives • Often don’t follow externally determined mode of development and blue print • Local diversity and innovations are main elements

Members were informed that: - There are over 100 UNICEF trained CLTS TOT’s in NWZ (Somaliland), NEZ (Puntland) and SCZ (South Central). (INGO’s & LNGO’s)




- There are 8 UNICEF local partners implementing CLTS in NWZ (6) and NEZ (2) - The line Ministries in Somaliland and Puntland strongly support the CLTS concept - Although CLTS is still relatively new in Somalia, there are good success stories reported from different zones - Trained TOT’s and triggered communities appreciate the positive impact of CLTS - 11 international and national staff was brought to Kenya for a 10 days learning exchange visit. Comments on the presentation:

• Members inquired if there can be trainings for WASH cluster partners in Nairobi or Somalia on CLTS. The WASH cluster coordination informed the meeting that he had some informal discussion with UNICEF on this issue. By next year training plan will be done.

Action: CLTS presentation to be circulated to the WASH cluster partners or put on the WASH cluster web site

7. Information Management Update A presentation on IM was made by the Chair. Key Highlights:

• October 4w updates were very low only: 18 agencies reported. Nevertheless all WASH Somalia partners have reached

• Sustained Access to water-1,692,370 (68% of 2.5 Million target) • Temporary access to water-1,769,259 (70% of 2.5 Million target) • Sanitation- 831,294 (64 %of the 1.3 million target) • Hygiene promotion -1,960,492 (52 % the 3.7 million target)

• 4w matrix updates for November are due on 7 December 2012. • 4W end year updates need by 11th Jan 2013. • New look 4W matrix taking into consideration 3 year CAP objectives and activities to

be rolled out starting January 2013 No comments made on the presentation.

8. Presentation on CHF – ERF funding by Brigitte from OCHA Steps for ERF process:

• Emergency situation • Coordination. Assessment. Needs and gaps analysis • Partner response request by the cluster (NGO must be effective in the field) • Validation of the project concept by the cluster • Download project in the CHF data base • Review per cluster

• Discussion with CHF and feedback • If ok review proposal per CHF • Project agreement process

Condition: • The emergency reserve is available for use to support response to the potential

effects of El Nino including acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/cholera outbreaks; and for emergency projects in newly recovered areas (as outcomes of on-going military activity) guaranteed that there is a certain level of access.




• The emergency reserve should be used in line with the key requirements specified in the CHF guidelines.

• The emergency window can also be used to provide an immediate response in areas not within the CAP as well as regions not prioritized in this standard allocation where need has been demonstrated“

• Please note that ER is not meant to fund projects which were not approved by the clusters during the standard allocation.

9. Cholera movie Members were shown a movie on cholera. The cluster is in the process of recruiting a translator to translate the cluster documents to Somali. The same will be done to the movie before sharing it with the cluster members AOB: Having no other AOB, meeting was adjourned. Next meeting: 18 December 2012.

Wash Cluster Objectives 2013-2015

Cluster objective #1-1

• Provide access to safe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for people in

emergency need

Cluster objective #1-2

• Emergency preparedness and early response to humanitarian

emergencies

Cluster objective #2/3/4-1

• Provide reliable and sustained access to safe water based on

identified strategic water points, establishment of sustainable

management structures and development of sustained household

water treatment strategies.

Wash Cluster Objectives 2013-2015

Cluster objective #2/3/4-2• Provide reliable and sustainable access to environmental

sanitation. All sanitation access programs must be coupledwith sustained hygiene practice promotion for the targetedpopulation.

Cluster objective #2/3/4-3• Support continuous development of better Information

Management tools for enhanced monitoring, early warningand emergency preparedness

Cluster objective #2/3/4-4• Strengthen the capacity of local WASH cluster actors to

improve knowledge, ability and resilience of the community,and address gender gaps

Actions, Beneficiaries and Locations

• Actions:

• Life-saving provision of safe water and emergency sanitation

programs (provision of facilities and dislodging programs)

• Access to safe water mainly through rehabilitation and

sustained management of identified strategic water points,

development of multiple use water systems and of sustained

access to household water treatment

• Implementation of CLTS approach as the main strategy for

sustained sanitation

• Beneficiaries: IDPs, populations of areas at high risk for

AWD/cholera and populations affected by drought

• Locations: IDP settlements, areas at high risk for AWD/cholera,

drought affected and acute malnutrition affected areas

Selection process (step 1)

• 171 CAP sheets were pre-filtered according to OCHA

Common Criteria (OCHA CAP 2013-2015 Guidance Note)

– Total out of 20 points

The project is in line with CAP strategic priorities and sector objectives.

The project is based on assessed needs.

Where applicable, the project is designed in coordination with other aid agencies to avoid duplication.

The submitting organization commits to share information regularly with the relevant clusters for the monthly cluster

single reporting format and monthly Dashboard, and to ensure its activities appear in the ‘Who does What Where’ (3W)

tables or activity matrices of the relevant clusters.

The project is realistic, cost-effective, and meets technical standards as agreed by the cluster. The project presents a clear

objective, which can be reached during the project duration (from 1 up to 3 years).

The organization has a recognized capacity to implement the project and/or proven track record. The cluster makes this

determination. Where disputed, the HC and HCT make this determination.

The project includes a monitoring and evaluation mechanism.

The project identifies and strives to respond to the different needs of women, girls, boys and men as measured by the

gender marker code and meets the Gender Minimum Standards as agreed by each cluster. A gender accountability

requirement was agreed by all clusters to ensure that no zero gender marker projects will be included in the CAP 2013-

2015, and all proposals submitted that do not comply will be revised.


• A cap sheet is discarded when it scores zero for two, or

more than two, essential criteria

• Based on this, 96 from 171 CAP sheets, were discarded,

leaving 75 for the technical review by CRC

What is GHD�Global event marked 15th of October each year

�First celebrated on 15th October 2008

�Initiative of the Global Public-Private

Partnership for Handwashing with Soap (PPPHW)

�The PPPHW aims to give families, schools, and

communities in developing countries the power to

prevent diarrhoea and respiratory infections by

supporting the universal promotion and practice

of proper hand washing with soap at critical

times

Why GHD?•This simple activity could save more lives than any vaccine or medical

intervention, preventing the spread of infection and keeping children in

school.

•Hand washing with soap is the most effective & inexpensive way to

prevent diarrheal & acute respiratory infections, which take the lives of

millions of children in developing countries.

•Although people around the world wash their hands with water, many do

not wash their hands with soap at critical moments, including after going

to the toilet and before handling or eating food.

•The challenge is to transform handwashing with soap from an abstract

good idea into an automatic behaviour carried out in homes, schools,

workplaces and communities.

Why GHD?WASH interventions critical for child survival

ABRIEF CLTS PRESENTATION TO

SOMALIA WASH CLUSTER

20TH NOV. 2012

What is Community – Led Total

Sanitation ?

• It’s a community-led / driven approach

• Involves/affects everyone in communities and addresses total elimination of open defecation

• Collective community decision & collective local action are keys in CLTS

• It heavily relies on the element of shame, disgust and fear

• Its non subsidy approach

• Social solidarity and cooperation are in abundance

• Actions are locally decided and don't depend on external subsidies, prescriptions or pressure

• Natural Leaders emerge from collective local actions who lead future collective initiatives

• Often don’t follow externally determined mode of development and blue print

• Local diversity and innovations are main elements

What is the global sanitation scenario

today ?

• With the current trend surely not all countries would

achieve MDG targets and for many it might take

decades

• Most efforts of sanitation till date are outsider

designed, prescribed and emphasis heavily on latrine

construction rather than collective hygiene

behaviour change

• Often less than 50% of costlier latrines built with

subsidy are used for the purpose they were built

SITUATION IN SOMALIA

1. There are over 100 UNICEF trained CLTS TOT’s in NWZ (Somaliland), SEZ (Puntland) and CSZ (South Central). (INGO’s & LNGO’s)

2. There are 8 UNICEF local partners implementing CLTS in NWZ (6)and NEZ(2)

3. The line Ministries in Somaliland and Puntland strongly support the CLTS concept

4. Although CLTS is still relatively new in Somalia, there are good success stories reported from different zones

5. Trained TOT’s and triggered communities appreciate the positive impact of CLTS

6. 11 international and national staff were brought to Kenya for a 10 days learning exchange visit.

CHALLENGES OBSERVED IN SOMALIA

1. Lack of strong WASH cluster coordination mechanism

2. Most trained TOT’s from the INGO’s / DPs are not the decision makers of their organizations – National staff.

3. Most INGO / DPs in Somalia have not embraced CLTS in their WASH programs.

4. Different sanitation promotion approach is used by different WASH partners.

5. There are no CLTS best practice sharing forum for partners

6. LNGO’s implementing CLTS lack appropriate support from their international partners, so as to go through the stages of achieving ODF status.

7. It was observed during the trainings, International staff don’t come to training workshops organized inside Somalia. They tend to send a national staff who has some limitations.

The Ethical Challenges of Development

• The challenges are personal, professional and institutional.

• “We” and our normal views and reflexes are the problem.

• “They”, people in communities, are the solution.

• Serious unlearning is entailed, and then continuous learning, adapting, improvising and innovating to enable the poor to become an active partner in development and not remain as passive recipient.

• These changes of understanding and behaviour apply at all levels –Ministers, senior officials, staff in funding agencies, and Government and NGO staff.

Fundamental and Non Negotiable

Principles of Rural CLTS

• For a start; No subsidy for hardware (not for

the poorest or anyone else)

• No blueprint design (only people’s designs,

not engineers’)

• People first: they can do it

• Facilitate, don’t provide

• Go slow at first for faster later

What are our challenges today?

• How to have many players in CLTS activities in Somalia• Can we have a forum for CLTS where partners can

share experiences and are able to network with other like minded organizations in Africa / Globally.

• Can we develop couple of hundreds of Open Defecation Free Communities as learning laboratories of CLTS in Somalia?

• How to develop 100-200 Natural Leaders as Community Consultants for quick scaling up of CLTS.

• How to enhance emergence of innovative local institutions as champions of CLTS?

• How can we involve local communities as active partners of research in technology options and in sanitation marketing?

THANKSPlease, let’s STOP communities from eating their

own SHIT

Yes we can !, Yes they can !

Nino including acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/cholera outbreaks; and for emergency projects

in newly recovered areas (as outcomes of on-going military activity) guaranteed that there is

a certain level of access.

• The emergency reserve should be used in line with the key requirements specified in the

CHF guidelines.

• The emergency window can also be used to provide an immediate response in areas not

within the CAP as well as regions not prioritized in this standard allocation where need has

been demonstrated“
