Project Start: Jan 2008

Duration: Initially 3 years now 4 years

Lead Agency: TREND Group

Main Partners: - Sector Ministries (MLGRD/MWRWH)

- Sector Networks (CONIWAS, PRUSPA),

- Agencies (PURC, GWCL/AVRL, CWSA)

- Others (NWP, IRC, Safi Sana Ghana)

Pilot Areas: Ashaiman, Mankessim Huni Valley

Funding: - NWP (ICCO, A4A, SIMAVI), TREND - AFDB/AWF, MMDAs

TPP Project: Project Logic

Project Goal: Expanded access to improved WASH services in poor urban areas.

Project Objective: Build sector capacity for delivery of pro-poor WASH in urban areas.

Project Outcomes: - Local governments plan and implement/pro- poor WASH services using TPP approach- 3 pilot implementation areas served - Improved knowledge on innovatve management models, approaches and technologies for pro-poor WASH services delivery.

TPP Project Overall Project Components

Extensive Preparation over 2 years - Light Sector Assessments, Case Studies - 5 pilot Projects initially identified - 3 Projects selected following discussions with AWF

Pilot innovative approaches for WASH Services Delivery in: ASHAIMAN – MANKESSIM – HUNI VALLEY (AWF) Scope involves: Design, Construction, capacity building for innovative TPP-based O&M support

Learning and Sharing/ Creation of Enabling environment for Replication and Scaling-Up (NWP): - Consolidate lessons learnt and best practices

- Support to knowledge Development and Sharing - Institutional development - Pro-poor advocacy

TPP Project Light Sector Studies and Case Studies

Mapping of existing profile and institutional models for water services delivery

Stakeholder analysis and Mapping of institutional, legal, policy and governance challenges to scaling-up.

Broad overview of promising approaches identified internationally (Global Review)

Analysis of Initial Studies and Identification of Options for Case Studies.

GIS maps of innovative approaches.

Detailed Case descriptions of selected “best innovative management approaches”

TPP Project Overview of Pilot Projects

ASHAIMAN: 15 000 p – 220 000 inhabitants - 15 integrated cleansing sites built / rehabilitated, - EcoSan demonstrated,

- Sustainable TPP based management model established

MANKESSIM: 20 000 p – 31 000 inhabitants - Public & household latrines,

- Drainage, Solid waste collection, - SaniMart, EcoSan and biogas, - CLTS Approach, innovation marketing/financing of sanitation - Capacity builidng for TPP based O&M

HUNI VALLEY: 10 000 p – 10 000 inhabitants - 4 public latrines + water supply built / rehabilitated,- 400 household latrines

- Microfinance loans, O&M

TPP ProjectTPP Approach in Pilot Implementation

MMDA’s ownership and management of Pilot Projects: MoUs have been signed with MMDAs and Task Officers trained.

District and National Learning Alliances: Platform for joint planning, decision making, and knowledge sharing

Consultants, contractors and operators: Private sector partners at all stages of implementation selected through competitive bidding.

NGOs/CSOs: Project Implementation, community mobilisation, hygiene/bahavioral change.

TPP Project Learning and Sharing/ Creation of Enabling environment for Replication and Scaling-Up (NWP):

Consolidate lessons learnt and best practices, Support to Knowledge Development and Sharing

Ongoing documentation of project experiences Information materials (case studies, factsheets, policy briefs

etc) Development of Toolkit for Project Implmentation Dissemination through library, websites, NLAP, Various sector

fora etc.

Institutional development RCN establishment and develeopment Ongoing sector networking, Policy dialogues/NLAP

Pro-poor Advocacy Policy dialogues on pro-poor issues Media events Advocacy events, collaboration with other NGOs etc

TPP Project: Project Risks

Delay in Implementation

Capacity: Challenges with Replication of best practices and Scaling-Up

Reluctance: Up-take of innovations by Sector Agencies

How will Project deal with Risks? District/Sector Ownership of the process of TPP Project

implementation

Learning alliance approach to ensure Sector involvement in defining priority learning areas.

Emphasis on development and dissemination of tested project support materials and toolkit.

WORKSHOP CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES

WHY ARE WE HERE?

Outcomes of Sector Assessments, Case Studies Outputs so far:

Working paper on mapping of management models in Ghana (including GIS maps)

Working paper on global best practices of pro-poor management models

Institutional mapping working paper

8 case studies carried out on innovative management models for WASH services delivery

Synthesised Report on the Case study with recommendations

Other Knowledge/Project Support Materials Currently Other factsheets/policy briefs are in the pipeline.

All exsiting draft materials to be completed by December 2010

Draft Tool-kit for planning and implementation of pro-poor pilot projects are being developed. Draft version of toolkit will be ready by October, 2010.

The Toolkit is desgned to support support establishment of management structures and capacity development for pro-poor WASH governance in the three pilot towns

Toolkit will be applied in the field and monitored/updated based on field experiences. Finlised version will be ready by end of TPP project in March 2012.

Context to this Workshop All Project reports are being packaged for dissemination as part

of ongoing product development activities.

Draft reports and case studies have been complete in all cases- available as working documents on website (http://www.ghana.watsan.net).

Currently editing, revisions and packaging are on-going to finalise reports before mass dissemination.

The TPP Project’s Learning alliance is expected to play a key role in the process of review and finalisation by to ensure that outputs meet demand and expectations: The LA will play role of : Reviewing the unfinishsed knowledge materials Providing feedback- especially in terms of content Providing suggestions for packaging and mode of

dissmeination

Objectives of this Worksop

Sharing and verification of TPP findings on light sector review and case studies

Review of findings on the different management models

Obtain specific inputs for completion of the synthesis document (on management models)

Expected Outputs

Sector stakeholders better informed about the TPP Project

Input for the completion of the synthesised document
