WSTF Strengths and Challenges:

27

WSTF: Strenghts & Challenges:

• Good cooperation between the Fund and its partners (WSP, WSB)

• Good cooperation between WSTF/UPC, development partners and TA

• Up-scaling but being in touch >>

Although the WSTF is funding a large number of urban projects the “distance” between WSTF staff and each project (Task Team, residents & kiosks) is relatively short

UPC is WSP & project oriented (MajiData, Field Monitors, regular project visits, meeting with WSP, workshops, etc.)

28

WSTF/UPC: Strenghts & Challenges:

Challenges at WSP and area level:

Project implementation:

• Poor planning resulting in unsustainable operation• Poor quality of technical works• Procurement & VAT issues

Project operation:

• Many WSPs still lack a genuine pro-poor focus & presence in the low income areas

• Illegal connections• Poor O&M • Underutilised facilities

29

WSTF/UPC: Strenghts & Challenges:

The WSTF answer:

• Support to Low Income Area Units of the WSPs (Nakuru, NCWSC)• Developing a decentralisation concept for WSPs (NCWSC) • Focus on procurement & VAT (NEW)• Focus on O&M & data collection• Involving residents in reporting (NEW)

30

WSTF/UPC: Strenghts & Challenges:

Challenges at WSTF level:

• Some Field Monitors do not perform according to expectations• Communication is not always good …but improving• The team is small and has to combine “routine duties” with product

development and WSTF activities & trainings• Delayed reporting! • Crowed and noisy office• Staff turnover
