4. 1.INTRODUCTION
Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. According to the
United Nations reports, barely half of the population had access to disinfected water,
80% of the illnesses detected in Honduras originate from the water they consumed,
and 26% of the people lived without access to sanitation.
Water borne diseases stemming from inadequate water quality of deteriorating rivers
rank among the most urgent challenges in Honduras. This particular problem of the
small pacific country is also related to the Millenium Development Goals (MDG) that
deal with reducing child mortality rates , improving maternal health , combatting with
diseases and ensuring environmental sustainability (MDG’s with number 4,5,6 and 7).
The capital city of Honduras, Tegucigalpa, is the largest city in the country. With its
roughly 1.5 million population it is the most crowded city as welI. The city is surrounded
by low income neighborhoods located next to the Choluteca River that flows through its
area. Due to low service quality problems water supply ,sanitation and pollution in the
Choluteca river, serious amount of the households who live around the river and face
with the threats of the water borne diseases every day. Deterioration in the river
ecosystem is posing another threat to the families that are dependent on the fishing
activities because of the decline in the fish stock in the river.
As MIDE Consulting Group, we aim to increase the quality of the Choluteca River in
Tegucigalpa, Honduras and consequently to reduce mortality rates by decreasing
number of water borne diseases. In order to meet sufficient water quality criteria in the
selected river within project area, several attempts to include community members to
be more sensitive about the threats of solid waste and wastewater dumping are
required besides stringent pollution control of the governmental institutions.
This project proposal includes details of the main approach of MIDE Consulting Group
to increase the level of education and awareness about the threats of solid waste
dumping and its direct effects on water borne diseases in Tegucigalpa, Honduras with
the cooperation of the local and international stakeholders. The Duration of the project
is estimated to be 12 months. For this purpose problem analysis, objective tree, strategy
selection, stakeholder analysis, log frame analysis, work plan and organizational chart,
appraisal of relevance, effectiveness , efficiency, impacts and sustainability analysis have
been developed and explained in the following sections of this project proposal.
Project Area: Choluteca River in Tegucigalpa, Honduras
1
5. 2.PROBLEM ANALYSIS
There is a strong tie between the river quality deterioration and water borne diseases in
the selected region. High incidence of the water borne diseases means having higher
mortality rates which is a very important problem.
The second important problem stems from the deterioration in the quality of Choluteca
River and therefore the deterioration of the river ecosystem. This problem is an direct
reason of the decline in the fish stock ,meaning a decrease in the income of fishermen in
the region.
MIDE Consulting Group’s Project in Honduras aims to solve the problem of the water
deterioration in the Choluteca River in Tegucigalpa and therefore we identify this
problem as the core problem. From this point on, our main focus will be to improve river
water quality . Choluteca river will be on the particular focus of the project proposal.
MIDE Group defines the reasons of deterioration in the river water quality respectively
under the following three major causes such as solid waste and wastewater dumped into
river and lack of infrastructure to maintain water purity.
2 .1 Lack of infrastructure to maintain the purity of water
It is a common problem for those cases in that there are businesses and households
without access to the sewage network due to the low rate of investment and lack of
political interest. The double arrow on Table 2.1 between “political interest” and
“infrastructure” shows a dependence on local administration influence. There have been
serious attempts to increase the sewage network in the Honduras , especially in
Tegucigalpa in the last years , however current infrastructure is still not sufficient to
maintain water purity.
2.1.1 Low investments in infrastructure are basically the core problems underneath the
lack of infrastructure to maintain water purity in the rural areas of Tegucigalpa.
2.1.2 Limited number of households and businesses are connected to sewage network is a
direct result of having lack of investments in infrastructure. This problem is
obviously visible in the rural areas of Tegucigalpa.
2.2 Wastewater dumping directly into the river
This problem comes from the low interest in politics to the environmental problems,
which consequently lead to the wrong values of law. Inadequate legal regulations – that
is how we called the cause of wastewater dumping.
2.2.1 Low political interest effect both administration as well as the environmental law.
The second linkage comes to the reason why households living around the river
line are allowed to dump wastewater and pollute the river water. It simply
means that there is not sufficient legislations against polluters and, thus, no real
dissuasive force to them to become environmentally friendly. At this point it must
be mentioned that this problem is interacting with the problem that is stated as
‘low investments in infrastructure’. This link can be observed on the problem
analysis table.
2
6. 2.2.2 Inadequate legal regulation is a direct result of having low political interest to
deal with direct wastewater dumping to the river. In the case of Honduras, there
have been serious attempts in raising the political interest and therefore
introduce new legal regulations. However this attempts are still not sufficient.
2.3 Solid waste dumping into the river
This problem could be defined as a final placement of refuse that is not salvaged
or recycled. The first cause level starts with such problem as Lack of education and
information. It comes further to either Corruption or Lack of Public Awareness. The last
problem is a direct line towards the lack of knowledge that makes society feel itself
unreceptive to the environment. However, the corruption, known as the abuse of public
power, leads to Insufficient control on polluters.
2.3.1 Lack of education and information comes to the point that households together
with businesses are not familiar with the consequences of solid waste dumping
directly to the river. They refuse to change their behaviour because of lack
technical & practical information of the long term threats and negative
externalities of their activities. This problem has been observed in many cases
around the river line of the Choluteca River in the rural areas of Tegucigalpa
especially among the poor households.
2.3.2 Lack of public awareness is a direct result of lack of education and information
that is identified and discussed above. Insufficient educational background of
how to use water in a proper way of water consumers. The effective way of
water usage in daily life activities of households and businesses is needed to be
maintained by not only infrastructure of water canalization, but also by teaching
how not to pollute before this sanitation problem turns to a disaster.
2.3.3 Corruption is an important local figure that directly effects the seriousness and
deterrence of the control on polluters that are dumping solid waste directly to
the river. It has also an interaction with lack of education and hence education
level. The higher education level is the smaller is the size of the corruption on the
controlling activities.
2.3.4 Insufficient control on polluters is a direct result of corruption which is identified
and discussed in detail above.
Problem Tree that is developed with regard to the particular problems in Tegucigalpa is

8. 3.OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS
Objective analysis has the problem tree as a basis and tries to solve every identified
problem step by step. Since we already identified the deterioration of water quality in
the river as the core problem behind the decline in fish stock in the river and water
borne diseases among people who are living in the river line, our main objectives will be
determined by taking these facts into account.
Our main objective as Improving quality of water in the river in Tegucigalpa, Honduras
and therefore decrease the incidence of water borne diseases and reduce the mortality
rates. On the other hand achievement of the core objective will lead us to an
improvement in the river ecosystem and have an increase in the fish stock and hence an
increase in the income of fishermen
Three sub-objectives must be achieved to improve the river quality. Those are
respectively showed on the objective analysis respectively as reducing solid waste
dumping into river, reducing wastewater dumping directly into the river and increasing
infrastructure for maintaining water purity.
3.1 Increased infrastructure for maintaining water purity
Increase in infrastructure for maintaining water purity is accomplished by two main
achievements. Those achievements are respectively explained below:
3.1.1 Higher investment in infrastructure . Governmental and private investments in the
wastewater treatment infrastructure are increases. Rise in the political interest and
revision of the business plans of the businesses had direct effects in the achievement.
3.1.2 Increased number of households and businesses connected to sewage network is a
direct result of the achievement that is higher investment in infrastructure.
3.2 Reduced wastewater dumping directly into the river
A decline in the volume of wastewater directly dumped into the river could be achieved
by two efforts. Those efforts are respectively explained below:
3.2.1 Increased political interest in pollution
3.2.2 Establishment of new legal regulations is the direct result of the increased political
interest in pollution.
3.3 Reduced solid waste dumping into river
A decline in the volume of wastewater directly dumped into the river could be achieved
by two efforts. Those efforts are respectively explained below:
3.3.1. Educational & informational programs are established , MIDE Consulting Group has
implemented two different programs. First one is a public awareness campaign among
the households. Second program is assisting municipalities in establishing new
education departments that are directly involved in giving education to the society
about the environmental and health issues that are also related with the threats of solid
5
9. waste dumping. Details of these programs will be explained in the upcoming parts of the
project proposal.
3.3.2. Public awareness is increased the direct result of the successful establishment of
the educational and informational programs.
Problem Analysis that is developed with regard to the Problem tree in the second part

10. 4. STRATEGY SELECTION
MIDE Group identifies main strategies that are aiming to improve the river quality in
Tegucigalpa in four main groups. Strategy analysis can be explained by using the
strategy selection table below.
Table 4.1 Strategy selection
4.1 Strategy 1 : Policy against corruption
Insufficient control on polluters is one of the core problems that is effecting the volume
of solid waste dumped into river. It is an undeniable fact that corruption of the
controlling authorities plays an important role at that stage. This strategy is focusing on
reducing corruption of the controlling authorities with the cooperation of the
governmental institutions.
4.2 Strategy 2 : Education & Information policy
7
11. Lack of education and insufficient social awareness about the threats of solid waste
dumping and its connection with the water borne diseases is a very important issue in
the rural areas of Tegucigalpa. This strategy aims to deal with the mentioned problem in
two sub-strategies. First one is starting a public awareness campaign first among the
selected households and then increase the scope by broadcasting a TV advertisement.
Second sub-strategy is assisting municipalities in establishing education departments
that will aim to educate households and small businesses with specifically trained local
personnel.
4.3 Strategy 3 : National policy
Reducing wastewater dumping by introducing new legal regulations is under the
monopoly of the government. National policy strategy aims to raise the lack of political
interest on pollution. This strategy is mainly depends on the governmental advocacy
activities in the parliament. Commitment and sustainability between the national
election periods are the key issues for the success of the strategy.
4.4 Strategy 4: Fiscal & Commercial policies
Increasing infrastructure to sustain better water purity needs private and governmental
investments. Raising those investments requires set of fiscal & commercial policies ,
which must be included to the business plans of the institutions & corporations.
4.5 Selection of the strategy
In evaluation of the strategy selection in the project proposals MIDE Group uses the
‘Decision Criteria and Strategy Selection’ table that is shown below. MIDE group selects
the strategy number two, based on the criteria , listed on the table 4.2 .
Table 4.2 Decision Criteria and Strategy Selection
8
12. Depending on the selected strategy, MIDE Group plans to implement a public awareness
campaign in order to raise the social awareness in reducing solid waste dumping into
the river and to convince & assist municipalities in establishing new education
departments. The length of the project is estimated at 12 months.
5. STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS
There are seven main stakeholders with vested interests in the MIDE Consulting Group
project that is being implemented in Honduras. These interested parties range from
international donors, national legislative and executive bodies (government and local
municipalities), public institutions (ministry of health, public universities), and
nonprofit organizations. The list of key actors is the following: Servicio Autónomo
Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (SANAA), National Autonomous University of
Honduras (NAUH), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Local NGOs: Agua Para el
Pueblo (APP) and Red de Agua y Saneamiento de Honduras (RAS-HON), TV Station
Channel 6, Government of Honduras (GOV), and Ministry of Health (MOH).
The range and type of stakeholders is extensive and diverse. Each stakeholder has a
particular role set in the project but all stakeholders are involved to achieve the common
goal – to reduce number of water borne diseases & illnesses through water and
sanitation project. The stakeholders will collaborate with each other throughout
different development stages of the project to ensure successful outcome and
completion.
5.1 Servicio Autónomo Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados is public sector
aqueduct and sewage company. It operates 33 of the nearly 4800 piped water systems in
thirty municipal capitals including that of the capital city of Tegucigalpa. It has an
enormous influence on water and sanitation system in Honduras. Through its large
administrative staff and regulatory authority it can encourage and enforce
environmental and health standards proposed by MIDE Consulting Group project.
SANAA has a thorough understanding of local water and sanitary needs and is known to
have a strong established relationship with local NGOs and governmental agencies.
5.2 National Autonomous University of Honduras is public university of Honduras
with many campuses throughout the country. It will provide technical expertise in
implementing educational programs, conducting surveys and support project
implementations with the help from academic staff, student organizations and volunteer
groups. NAUH has a direct access to many target group and locations through its
extensive network of affiliate colleges and universities. With its strong engineering
programs, it will also serve as the labor pool for trained water and sanitation
professionals and engineers.
5.3 Inter-American Development Bank is an international financial institution and the
largest source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean. It will
serve as a main donor (source of money) for implementing the project. It has all
necessary financial, technical capacity and strong international and political influence.
On the other hand, IDB does not have strong ties with local NGOs and has poor
coordination of allocation of funds. On a positive note, IDB includes an audit arm within
its organization that ensures the project is carried out in a way satisfactory way.
9
13. 5.4 Agua Para el Pueblo and Red de Agua y Saneamiento de Honduras are local NGOs
that work on developing water treatment projects, focusing particularly on the less-
privileged communities of the rural areas and developing urban zones and supporting
the modernization of the PHC of Honduras, through actions of knowledge management
and advocacy, with the active participation of the public sector, civil society and donor
agencies, at national, regional and local levels. Local NGOs are best positioned to deeply
and more efficiently reach our target groups. They have previous experience working in
the area with local population and possess established coordination capacity. MIDE
Consulting Group will collaborate with APP and RAS-Hon to provide technical and
engineering expertise to these locally well positioned NGOs.
5.5 Local TV station “Channel 6” provides public-access television to the Honduran
people. Channel 6 can be used to reach the largest number of viewers in Honduras by
less financially costly means. It will provide broadcasting of education programs for a
period of eight months to access large target group audience.
5.6 Government of Honduras and local municipalities are responsible for a wide range
of services for their local communities. Few of them are refuse removal, refuse dumps
and solid waste disposal. Through the supervision and support of federal government,
local municipalities will help to enforce health standards embodied in the core of
educational programs of MIDE Consulting Group project and tackle the issues of solid
waste disposal and dump removal in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way.
These government bodies will be involved in the project from the inception and
implementation stages all the way till completion of the project.
5.7 Ministry of Health (Secretaria De Salud Honduras) is a department of Honduran
government that is responsible for government policy for health and social care matters.
Ministry of Health of Honduras will be responsible for encouraging educational
programs proposed by MIDE Consulting Group on a state, district and local level through
state operated hospitals. The central level of the MOH will be responsible for planning
and implementing MIDE educational programs. Since the process includes
deconcentration, the provincial and local levels of MOH will be responsible for
implementing most of the education programs.

16. 6. LOGFRAME MATRIX
‘‘The LogFrame method is an instrument employed by analysts, planners and managers for
problem analysis, objective formulation, planning, implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of selected,objective-oriented interventions that aim at a change of reality from
a situation which is perceived asnegative towards a positive situation’’ (Metz, 2005). MIDE
Group is following a similar line with a 4 by 4 Logframe Matrix in specifiying the overall
and specific objectives, planned outputs/results, key activities, assumptions/risks of the
social awareness campaign regarding the threats of solid waste dumping in Honduras.
Detailed information regarding the elements of the Logframe Matrix are presented
below.
6.1 Overall Objective
Water borne diseases stemming from inadequate water quality of deteriorating rivers
rank among the most urgent challenges in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This particular
problem of the small pacific country is also touching to the Millenium Development
Goals (MDG) that deal with reducing child mortality rates , improving maternal health ,
combatting with diseases and ensuring environmental sustainability (MDG’s with
number 4,5,6 and 7).
As stated in the problem analysis section, there are several reasons behind the
deterioration of the water quality in Choluteca River in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Deterioration in the river water quality causes water borne diseases. Regarding the
main problem in the region and Millenium Development Goals, MIDE Group objects
‘Reduced umber of water borne diseases and ilnesses around Tegucigalpa’ as the overall
objective of this project proposal.
Main objective’s outputs can be measured with major indicators during and after the
implementation of the project: Improved health indicators indicating water borne
diseases and illnesses among target group, reduced mortality rate and improved human
development indicators.
MIDE Group aims to obtain the results of the mentioned indicators from government
statistics, specific surveys of ministry of health of Honduras in on water borne diseases,
UNDP Human Development Index and WHO Reports.
MIDE group assumes that there will be no epidemic outbreaks and no lack of political
interest during the implementation period of the project.
6.2 Specific Objective
To achieve the overall objective stated as ‘Reduced number of water borne diseases and
illnesses’ MIDE identifies ‘Improved river quality by reducing the volume of dumped
solid waste’ as the specific objective of the project proposal. MIDE Group aims to reduce
the volume of dumped solid waste into the Choluteca River.
Indicators to measure the river quality are classified under two main groups. First
group is physical and chemical indicators. Dissolved oxygen, temperature, ph and
alkalinity tests will aim to measure and evaluate ongoing project’s effects in the river.
Second group of indicators is biological indicators which includes tests regarding the
level of microbes, algeas and fish in the river.
13
17. MIDE Group aims to obtain the results of above mentioned surveys from government
statistics, NAUH (National Autonomous University of Honduras) , SANAA(Government
Sector Aquadact and Sewega Company).
MIDE Group assumes that institutions will cooperate and there will be no major natural
or industrial disaster during the implemetation period of the project.
6.3 Planned Outputs / Results
MIDE Group’s Project aims to achieve two major results to reach to the specific and
overall objectives. First result is ‘Raised public awareness of the threat of water borne
diseases posed by solid waste dumping’and the second result is : ‘Increased public
education and information programs’. These results are expected to reduce the volume
of solid waste dumped into the river and hence improve the river water quality. The
final result of this chain will be reduced number of water borne diseases.
Planned results can be measured by several indicators. Those indicators are
respectively: Number of people reached, attendance of target households to the
workshop, No./% of households using municipalsolid waste collection services,
viewership members of the campaign advertisements on TV, numbers of education
departments established within municipalities, number of permanent staff educated.
MIDE Group is going to measure above mentioned planned results by project
monitoring, government and municipality and health surveys.
6.4 Key Activities
Key activities are the key steps towards the achivement of the planned results stated
above. MIDE Group divides its project activities in two main parts. First part is to create
and implement a Public Awareness Campaign. The second part is assist municipalities
with creation of education departments. MIDE Group aims to raise the social awareness
of the threats of solid waste dumping into the riverline with a Public awareness
campaign and therefore reduce the volume of solid waste dumped and reduce the
number of water borne diseases. On the other hand establishing new education
departmets within local municipalities aims to have the sustainability and raise the
effectiveness of the social awareness in the threats of solid waste dumping. MIDE Group
identifies its key activities in the project as in the following order:
6.4.1 Public Awareness Campaign
Conduct a survey among households and form the target areas and target groups. This
activity is important to define the cause- effect relationships.
1. Develop training materials for educators.
2. Training the volunteer educators in line with the threats of the solid waste
dumping and its direct relation with the water borne diseases in the region is an
important activity in MIDE Consulting Group’s Project.
3. Printing and distributing leaflets to the target households is an anorther activity
that are going to be implemented at the same time with other educational
activities during the project in the region.
4. MIDE Consulting Group is going the organise workshops in the selected areas
with the cooperation of government, the local NGO APP and municipalities in
order to raise the awareness of the threats of the solid waste dumping to the
riverline.
14
18. 5. In order to reach more people and sustain the long term stability , MIDE
Consulting Group is going to organise TV broadcasting campaign by an
adviretisement. MIDE will be in charge for the development and management of
the campaign. The local TV Channel CH6 will be used in order to accomplish this
aim.
6.4.2 Assist municipalities with creation of education departments
In order to establish new education departments within local municipalities that
will be in charge for giving education and information to the community
members it is very important to develop and publish article of associations. MIDE
Group will assist the municipalities in defining institutional goals and ethics
1. In line with long term goals of the project and the administrative
sensitivinesses in Honduran local administration , MIDE Group will assist
municipalities to constitute the organisational charts of the new departments.
2. Education of the new personnel has a great importance for the succes of the
project. Therefore MIDE Group will be in charge in developing and printing
training materails for permanently hired local personnel.
3. MIDE Group is going to give recruitment assistance to local municipalities in
hiring permanent personnel.
4. MIDE Group’s last task will be to manage the training of the hired personnel.
6.5 Assumptions / Risks
Before and during the project implementation that is based on the above mentioned
objectives, results and activities, MIDE Consulting groups assumes that there won’t be
an interuption becasuese of some external factors. Main factors , that have significant
importance are stated on the Logframe Matrix. MIDE Counsulting Group assumptions
are as in the following : No epidemic outbreaks, no lack of political interest, cooperation
of institutions, na major industrial or natural disasters, cooperation of community
members, no corruption, enough funding, suitable and adequate personnel.
