The WASH Bottleneck Analysis Tool (BAT)
The document summarizes the WASH Bottleneck Analysis Tool (BAT) developed by UNICEF to help countries identify and address bottlenecks preventing improved access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services. The BAT brings stakeholders together to discuss challenges, prioritize issues, and develop evidence-based investment strategies. Pilot tests in Ghana and Sierra Leone found the BAT motivated participants and filled an important gap. While not intended as a performance benchmark or funding needs assessment, the BAT aims to support country and global monitoring efforts if indicators can be standardized and reporting mechanisms established.
Sustainability & measurement: Fund Sustainable Water
The Fund Sustainable Water of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl) has updated its policy rules on sustainability for new project proposals. This presentation introduces the major changes to sustainability checks based on financial, institutional, environmental, technical and social (FIETS) criteria. It includes details as on baseline setting and policy rules on sustainability measurement. Presented Jan Paul van Aken (Netherlands Enterprise Agency RVO.nl) at the IRC Event "Checking and monitoring sustainability of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services" in The Hague, The Netherlands on 16 November 2016,

This document discusses the tension between project monitoring driven by donor accountability and the need to develop stronger national WASH sector monitoring systems led by countries. While country-led monitoring systems are the goal, they often remain weak due to underfunding, challenges with decentralization, and low political priority. Project monitoring can be innovative but is also temporary, fragmented, and focuses upward accountability to donors rather than supporting national systems. The document questions how to better align project monitoring with strengthening country-led monitoring and explores examples of projects integrating their monitoring into national frameworks.

mWater: Using data to improve piped water services
Presentation by Brian Jensen at Colorado WASH Symposium 2020, on the use of the free mWater platform for improving water service delivery. Includes case study from the USAID Haiti Water and Sanitation Project, implemented by Development Alternatives International (DAI) and mWater.
Synthesis of symposium outcomes
The document summarizes the outcomes of a symposium on monitoring sustainable WASH service delivery. Key points discussed included:
1) Country monitoring systems are being led by governments and linked to sector reforms, but support is still needed and accountability must be ensured.
2) There is a balance to be struck between standardized global monitoring and flexibility for national priorities and contexts. Indicators and approaches are still evolving.
3) Monitoring of human resources, sanitation/hygiene, ICT tools, and finance are advancing but have gaps to address regarding analysis, use of data, and sustainability.
4) Overall trends show governments investing more in national monitoring systems, but coherence across global and local levels needs improving

The document discusses challenges and tools for realizing human rights to water and sanitation. It outlines implementation challenges including inadequate financing, outdated infrastructure, weak governance and limited capacity. It then presents five case studies showing how tools like mapping access, workshops to improve sanitation, cost-benefit analyses, empowering women in management, and creating independent regulatory bodies have helped address these challenges and advance rights in locations like Nairobi, Kuala Lumpur, Nigeria and Portugal. The key lessons are that economic evidence, advocacy, capacity building and political will for independent regulation can help creation and replication of successful tools.
Sector planning-strategies-and-their-implementation-water for all
Here are a few key things I would consider taking forward based on the GLAAS results and discussion:
- Schedule time at our next senior management/country team meeting to review and discuss the GLAAS results for our country/countries in more depth. This will help identify strengths and gaps to inform our strategy and planning.
- Review our country strategy and annual workplans to ensure they are adequately addressing any gaps or weaknesses identified through GLAAS related to strengthening national systems. This may require revising objectives, targets or activities.
- Engage with other stakeholders like the government through our existing coordination platforms to discuss GLAAS findings and explore opportunities for collaboration to strengthen areas like policy development, planning, monitoring and finance mobil
How to make monitoring a common and lasting practice? Lessons from El Salvado...
Last year, IRC has been supporting the Inter-American Development and the governments of three countries in Latin America (El Salvador, Honduras and Paraguay) in the development of national WASH monitoring systems. This included support on the development of indicators as well as on the institutionalization of the monitoring systems in the sector, through the definition of an institutional framework for monitoring and the costing and identification of financing of these monitoring activities. Based on these three experiences, a generic approach was developed for the institutionalization of national WASH monitoring systems in the region.
This presentation was shared during an IRC webinar on 22 May 2013, in which the approach was presented illustrated with specific examples and experiences from the three countries. The presentation was followed by reflections by an (online) panel from Liberia, a country that seeks to embark on a similar process, consisting of George Yarngo and Abdul Koroma (Ministry of Public Works) and Bimal Tandukar (SNV). After the reflections by the panel, there was an open discussion on needs and approaches for the institutionalization of national monitoring systems.

Strengthening Routine Health Information Systems through Regional NetworksRoutine Health Information Network
This document discusses strengthening routine health information systems (RHIS) through regional networks. It provides background on RHIS and their importance for facility-based and community-based health planning, management, and disease surveillance. However, RHIS in many low and middle-income countries are inadequate due to issues like irrelevant data collection, centralized management, and fragmented disease-specific systems. The Routine Health Information NetwOrk (RHINO) was created to advocate for and improve RHIS performance through activities like workshops, online resources, and capacity building. RHINO also aims to promote the establishment of regional RHIS networks for knowledge sharing and strengthening country investments in public health data systems.Act 2014 Low Income Fare Program
1. The document discusses plans to implement a low-income fare program for public transportation in King County.
2. Key aspects of the program include providing ORCA cards with a reduced fare to eligible low-income individuals, modifying existing ORCA technology and databases, and defining eligibility verification and distribution procedures.
3. An implementation timeline shows program development from 2014 to a March 2015 launch date for the low-income fare, along with important deadlines and milestones.

Photostory from Norton Town, Zimbabwe.pptx
The document summarizes photos taken in 2023 of the sewage plant in Norton, Zimbabwe. The plant was originally constructed in the 1950s but had fallen into disrepair by 2017. It underwent refurbishment with support from Welthungerhilfe to repair damaged infrastructure like leaking sewage pipes. The conventional treatment plant includes intake works, primary clarifiers, trickling filters, humus tanks, and sludge drying beds. While parts of the system have been repaired, the partially treated sewage still flows directly to nearby farms from the holding ponds.

Self-Supply made simple
The document summarizes ways that households in sub-Saharan Africa develop self-supplied water sources through methods like wells, rainwater harvesting, and springs. It discusses how households incrementally improve their water systems over time. It also outlines three ways self-supply can be supported: 1) through technical advisory services and guidelines, 2) by strengthening the private sector, and 3) with policies and budgets to aid households in construction and supply improvement. The document promotes a new book on self-supply and filling gaps in public water provision.
Self-Supply made simple
Self-supply refers to households taking responsibility for developing their own water sources through various methods like digging wells, collecting rainwater, or protecting springs. This document outlines the key reasons households pursue self-supply due to issues with public water systems like long wait times. It then describes common self-supply methods in Sub-Saharan Africa like family wells and rainwater harvesting. The document emphasizes that self-supply should be supported through technical advice, private sector development, and policies that help households improve their water sources over time.

Webinar : Adapting your advocacy to COVID-19 health crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing development programmes to rapidly readjust their advocacy strategy to support local or national governments in their emergency planning. The Watershed empowering citizens programme organised a webinar attended by over 60 participants on 15 April 2020, to discuss and learn about: ways to adapt advocacy approaches in time of COVID-19; practical examples of shifting activities at national and local levels; ways to reach your target audience while social distancing; ways to adapt your messaging, keeping Watershed priorities through the lens of COVID-19.
This report includes the webinar Powerpoint presentations and some recommendations based on the Q&A session. The titles and authors of the presentations are: "Why is strong advocacy essential during a crisis?" by Evita Rosenberg (IRC); "Watershed Bangladesh : adapting advocacy approaches during COVID 19 outbreak" by Ranjan Kumar Ghose (WaterAid Bangladesh); and "Adapting advocacy approaches in Kenya "by Patrick Mwanzia (Simavi Kenya).

Pius Mugabi of the Kabarole District Local Government, Martin Watsisi and Angela Huston of IRC and Denis Maramuzi, Area Manager of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), Fort Portal, Kabarole worked together on preparing a presentation for the 20th AfWA International Congress and Exhibition in Uganda.
Their presentation focused on a new partnership between NWSC and Kabarole District to extend NWSC’s piped network to provide safe water to communities in the hard-to-reach Kabende sub county. This novel public-public partnership is part of the increasing trend of rural utilisation. NWSC is extending into more small towns and rural growth centres with a broadened mandate and through the SCAP100 Programme will reach 12,000 new villages during 2017-2020.

Conflict sensitivity support and tools
Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS) Conflict sensitivity support and tools. Referenced in the IRC WASH debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?" which took place 20 November 2019 in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in Mali
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.
A joint presentation by Afou Chantal Bengaly (Wetlands International) and Ele Jan Saaf (SaafConsult) at the WASH Debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?", in The Hague, the Netherlands on 20 November 2019.
WASH systems strengthening in the Central African Republic
Water for Good (WFG) works exclusively in the Central African Republic (CAR), a country facing extreme economic fragility. The road blocks set up by the non-state armed groups, which control nearly 80% of the territory, have a significant impact on the country's economy. WFG has been operating in the CAR since 2004, initially as a borehole drilling organisation, and shortly thereafter, as a handpump maintenance service provider. It has created a circuit rider approach for preventative maintenance and uses an electronic reporting system.
After joining Agenda for Change in 2017, WFG opted to adopt IRC's systems approach to go beyond their preventative maintenance programme and work towards universal, sustainable access. WFG opted to pilot a district-wide approach in Mambéré-Kadéi, while maintaining periodic preventative maintenance in other prefectures. In the pilot area, WFG focused on the following system blocking blocks: infrastructure, monitoring, finance, planning and institutions. At the same time it is helping to build up regional capacity for systems strengthening.
In conclusion, WFG believes it is possible to strengthen systems in fragile states, thanks to their organisation's long-term presence in CAR, their ability to plug short-term projects into the larger roadmap, and their ability to work with systems champions. The intention is not to build parallel systems, but to champion a roadmap that is both supported by all WASH stakeholders and adequately funded.

Sanitation and hygiene sector trends
This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.
Social accountability : civil society and the human rights to water and sanit...
The Watershed programme supports civil society organisations (CSOs) both on normative content (and claiming their rights if not yet met) as well as supporting CSOs to engage in the procedural part/principles of human rights to water and sanitation. The social accountability approach used by Watershed is based on the principles of access to information, non-discrimination, accountability and participation. The role of CSOs includes holding government to account for their obligation to ensure that everyone’s human rights are fulfilled, protected and respected. For this Watershed uses the Social Accountability Model developed by Water Witness International. Conclusions and reflection are provided on how this model has been used in Kenya and Bangladesh.

The Dutch NGO Both Ends is involved in two Strategic Partnerships for Dialogue & Dissent funded by the Netherlands government. One of them, the Fair Green & Global (FGG) Alliance, support capacity building of civil society organisations (CSOs) to effectively voice their views and hold policymakers and companies to account. The role of dissent is seen to contribute towards equality, equity and justice. The lessons learned by the FGG Alliance to address the concerns of Indonesian CSOs regarding land reclamations in Jakarta Bay Masterplan will be taken up to support CSO involvement in the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Masterplan in the Philippines. The challenges and opportunities for CSO involvement in Dutch-funded interventions in developing countries are briefly outlined. Presentation by Giacomo Galli at the WASH Debate “Dialogue and dissent: Looking at the role of civil society in achieving SDG 6 by 2030”, in The Hague, the Netherlands on 26 June 2019.
Voice for Change Partnership : roles of CSOs in achieving SDG6
The Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) programme is a capacity development programme for civil society organizations (CSOs) in six countries across four areas including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). VCP is a partnership between DGIS, SNV, IFPRI (International Food Policy and Research Institute) and CSOs. The capacity development activities focus on evidence creation and dissemination, and evidence-based advocacy. In Kenya, the V4CP WASH component supports CSO advocacy for improved stakeholder participation and coordination, increased budget allocation, and influencing policy review and development. CSOs used evidence from GIS mapping and the water testing to convince county governments to take action to improve sanitation. The data collected was also used to advocate for increased sanitation investment participatory budgeting. The presentation concludes with challenges and lessons learnt from the Kenya the V4CP WASH component. Presented at the WASH Debate “Dialogue and dissent: Looking at the role of civil society in achieving SDG 6 by 2030”, in The Hague, the Netherlands on 26 June 2019.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

About the irc toolkit
- 1. About the IRC Toolkit A growing repository of tools and guidance for strengthening WASH service delivery Supporting water sanitation and hygiene services for life
- 2. With this toolkit, we’re bringing together the tools and guidance developed and tested in IRC’s work with governments, NGOs and other partners in over 20 countries. The tools come from big, multi-country initiatives, such as WASHCost, Triple-S and WASHTech, as well as more focused pieces of work, such as our partnership with the government of Ethiopia to develop guidelines for self-supply. About the IRC Toolkit
- 3. The toolkit is organised around the two related goals of delivering services and delivering change. The services section focuses on how to put into place and strengthen key building blocks of service delivery— from financing to asset management. The change section focuses on how to create large-scale change in a complex system— motivating diverse actors to make sustainable service delivery a reality. About the IRC Toolkit
- 4. The toolkit covers both water supply and sanitation— many tools apply to both. Sanitation and hygiene-specific tools have been grouped under the sanitation and behaviour change blocks. About the IRC Toolkit
- 5. A few of the tools are ready to use. Most require some degree of adaptation. IRC is available to support this process through our consulting arm — IRC Consult. About the IRC Toolkit
- 6. We encourage you to use and build on our work. Our only requests are that you acknowledge the source and share your experience with us. We also welcome your feedback as we continue to expand and refine the toolkit. Please send your comments, questions and experiences to info@ircwash.org.
