Latrine construction works progress

Expenditures as of June 30, 2017

On May 10, 2016 the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) and the Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC) convened a meeting with their implementing partners to initiate a WATSAN campaign aiming at supporting households to construct improved latrines and promote the water private connection at premise level targeting people from Ubudehe Category 1. The campaign targeted a total of about 1,140 households with no improved latrines across selected villages in the 30 districts of Rwanda. It is/was executed with support from WASAC and the WATSAN implementing partners.

Overall, by supporting this campaign, Isuku Iwacu maintains its private sector driven and sustainability approaches by (i) promoting the use of latrines through mobilization activities conducted by the functioning community health clubs (CHCs) supported by the USAID-funded Gikuriro project, (ii) identifying suitable of latrine technology, and (iii) encouraging community or households’ in-kind contributions.

More specifically this campaign is a learning opportunity that will inform project implementation in the following areas:

• Identification of selection criteria and processes to design, disburse and monitor the use of grants targeting vulnerable households and saving groups;

• Assessment of households’ willingness to participate in the construction, operations, and/or maintenance of latrine technologies;

• Identification of latrine prototypes to be available at district sanitation centers;

• Identification of initial activities to start building the sanitation value chain ensuring the participation of local shops and masons.

• Assessment and/or validation of Isuku Iwacu’s contribution to support the construction latrine technologies.

Quick Needs Assessment of 164 households – Kicukiro, Ngoma, Nyanza, and Nyarugenge

While initially Isuku Iwacu planned to support the construction of latrines across its eight districts1, initial data collected from Gikuriro local implementing partners indicated that out of the eight villages proposed by MININFRA only four villages from the districts of Kicukiro, Ngoma, Nyanza, and Nyarugenge have functioning CHCs.

Therefore, upon USAID’s concurrence, from May 17 – 19, 2017 the Isuku Iwacu team conducted a quick assessment in the four districts to gain an accurate picture of the ground realities and assess sanitation needs of 164 households:

1 Isuku Iwacu project is implemented in the districts of Kayonza, Kicukiro, Ngoma, Nyabihu, Nyanza, Nyarugenge, Ruhango, and Rwamagana 2 Villages were selected by MININFRA.

The assessment was conducted using a questionnaire (refer to Annex 1 providing used questionnaire) and included a consultative and selection process summarized in the table below:

Key findings of the needs assessment indicated that households are composed on average of

As illustrated in the graphic, out of the 164 assessed households:

• 54 households are in Ubudehe Category 1,

• 86 in Ubudehe Category 2,

• 24 in Ubudehe Category 3.

63 households reported having access water, 51 have no latrine and report practicing open defecation, and only 3 households have hand washing stations (in the district of Nyarugenge).

Across of the three Ubudehe Categories, the sanitation needs of assessed households can be classified into three types of support:

• Support 1: Full latrine Construction

• Support 2 (with a pit only): Slab, Superstructure, Door, Roof, ventilation pipe and pavement

• Support 3: Superstructure, Door, Roof ventilation and pavement.

Under Ubudehe Category 1, a total of 54 households were identified needing Support 1 (Full latrine Construction) and 2 (Slab, Superstructure, Door, Roof, ventilation pipe and pavement):

In the district of Nyarugenge, two additional households with vulnerable people were identified, requiring full latrine construction support.

Therefore a total of 56 households from Ubudehe 1 Category, including households with vulnerable people, were selected for the execution of the WATSAN campaign.

The remaining 108 households will be supported throughout project implementation within the scope of the grant and loans mechanisms.

Selection of latrine prototype and corresponding Bill of Quantities

In early June, upon completion of the district action plan workshops, the Isuku Iwacu team met with senior staff from the WASAC’s Rural Water and Sanitation Services to:

• Present the findings of the quick needs assessment;

• Select a suitable prototype and finalize associated Bill of Quantities (BOQ), and

• Review the schedule to start the WATSAN campaign activities.

Using the detailed Water for People Sanitation BOQ, Isuku Iwacu presented the following prototypes:

• Tin latrine with concrete slab with cover

• Tin latrine with concrete Slab with Sato Pan

• Tin latrine with Sato Pan on mud floor

• Tin latrine with San slab on wood/planks floor

• Baked bricks latrine with concrete Slab with Sato Pan

• Baked bricks latrine with concrete slab with cover

• Plastered Mud bricks latrine with concrete slab with cover

• Plastered Mud bricks latrine with concrete Slab with Sato Pan

• Plastered Mud bricks latrine with Sato Pan on mud floor

• Plastered Mud bricks latrine with San Slab on wood/planks floor

These prototypes were reviewed and selected using the following criteria:

a) Use, including CBEHPP

b) Affordability (durability)

c) Sustainability meeting GOR planned coverage

d) Convenience in terms of use (disabled people)

e) Availability of raw material locally

f) Easily constructed by local technicians, and

g) Prototypes that can facilitate households or community contribution through

Umuganda or other communal works.

The Plastered Mud bricks latrine with concrete slab and cover prototype was selected, because it can easily be constructed by local masons, and for its sustainability and moderate affordability. For people with disability, the same prototype applies with the addition of the illustrated Wonderloo slab (Aquasan).

The Isuku Iwacu team also met with staff from the USAID-funded Gikuriro project and the USAID’s Isuku Iwacu Activity Manager to present selected prototype and associated BOQs (refer to Annex 2 providing detailed BOQs for each of the districts), and finalize WATSAN campaign schedule, including mobilization activities to be conducted by the Gikuriro-supported CHCs throughout the construction of the household latrines.

On June 14, 15 and 16, the Isuku Iwacu team traveled to the four districts to present findings, planned activities and agree on a schedule to initiate construction activities with district and sector level officials.

Latrine construction works progress

Latrine construction works started in June (refer to start dates indicated in the table below), within the WATSAN campaign period, taking advantage of the existing momentum.

Isuku Iwacu purchased required materials from local shops at discounted rates (where feasible) that were delivered to the Cell Executive Secretaries (upon signature of delivery notes). Materials also included iron sheets provided by the USAID-funded Gikuriro Activity.

Households are providing in-kind contributions with the provision of mud bricks (through Umuganda) and water.

The Isuku Iwacu team also recruited three consultant engineers to mentor sector land manager and masons.

Since the start-up of construction works, in collaboration with the Isuku Iwacu Monitoring Evaluation and Learning Officers, the consultant engineers are conducting weekly supervision site visits to monitor progress of the works in accordance with the BOQs and drawings provided by WASAC (Refer to Annex 3). Table below provide details on projects start and end dates as well as completed progress as of July 10, 2017.
