What do we mean by sustainability in Wa. SH? • Delivering water or sanitation service indefinitely—for a lifetime • Essential elements of sustainability: – – technical issues social factors financial elements gender equity and empowerment
How do we achieve Sustainability? • Ensure appropriate institutional arrangements: – Water-users committee – Support of local authorities – Encourage the private sector: create employment, supply chain, training programs • Community “Ownership” – Commitment to operate and maintain the service – Selecting the technology – Committing to appropriate funding arrangements Ron Denham

The challenge – and the opportunity • 1 to 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation • Up to 50% of WASH projects fail within five years • The RI/TRF/Wasrag Future Vision “PEP” Program for WASH can change both issues
The Wasrag Model: a three-part program • Regional Teams (RT) - Host and international Rotarians and clubs - Organized to provide program planning and oversight • Program Planning and Performance Teams (PPP) – Rotarians and NGOs serving as "consultants/mentor“ to Village Leaders • Wasrag District and Club WASH Support System – Learning from failures and supporting success & sustainable projects

Projects Strong, Sustained Program More than “Big Projects” – Fundamentally Different – Pg 1 Programs Projects § Buy-Build Hardware, Get Grant Focus § Efficient execution § Consider Future Vision Strategy § A few months, or year Duration § Simple, linear § Few participants Structure § Minimal, defined scope, vary some with local activity § Short-term grants, donations * Rotary clubs * TRF (Rotary Foundation) § Special prices by suppliers? § Find new Partner clubs each time Flexibility Funding § Outcomes, community impact § Strategic Vision, Clear Goals, e. g. MDGs, empowerment, selfsufficiency, Cost-Effective System § Several Months to Decades § Collaborative Group (RT PPP) § Several disciplines & functions, acting in parallel or in sequence § Early - unclear, some risk § Definition evolves with Feedback § Planning -- Soft Costs are OK § Longer-term commitment § TRF + International agencies, corporations & foundations § Create, seek opportunities for viable private sector investment
