Organization: HEKS/EPER
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 26 Sep 2014

1. Background

HEKS[1], as the aid agency of the Swiss Protestant churches, is committed to positive action. HEKS counteracts resignation with hope and puts the concept of Christian charity into practice. HEKS campaigns for a more humane and a more equitable world. The focus of its commitment is on the dignity of each individual. The aid organisation aligns itself in its work with goals like justice, peace and the integrity of creation. The strategy identifies the main areas of focus for the international work, namely the development of rural communities, the promotion of peace and conflict resolution, inter-church cooperation and humanitarian aid. HEKS bases its work on values like self-determination, solidarity, responsibility, participation and grass-roots involvement. Project work is carried out by local partner organisations or with their input, for example. HEKS works with these partners to help people to help themselves.

A partnership programme between HEKS and SSUHA (South Sudan Health Association), a NNGO (National Non-Government Organization, for acceleration of the Water and Sanitation MDG targets in South Sudan began to be implemented in August 2008. This partnership will be furthered from June, 2014 to December, 2017 with the aim to increase access to clean water sources and to promote better hygiene and sanitation in all 15 villages of the 4 Payam: - Wuji and Kupera in Lainya; and Mugwo and Otogo in Yei County that currently SSUHA is operating in. The survey will also include four of the remaining payams to determine whether or not there is an established need for intervention and where the greater need lies. These payams are: - Tore and Lasu in Yei; and Mukaya and Kenyi in Lainya.

2. Overview

HEKS has recently opened its country office in South Sudan. This is in Yei- Lasu Road. The team consists of a country director, a finance officer and the office driver/logistics. HEKS is currently working with 5 partners in Central Equatoria.

The main focus has been development of rural communities. HEKS has currently being working in Central Equatoria and the main focus has been on 5 thematic areas

· Access to clean Water, Sanitation and promotion of Good Hygiene practises

· Food Security

· Access to Land

· Access to Livelihoods & Vocational Skills Development

· Peace and conflict transformation

· Capacity building of the local partners

3. Purpose

HEKS as part of the Swiss Water and Sanitation NGO Consortium in partnership with SSUHA will be implementing a WASH project that aims at increasing access to clean & safe water, and better hygiene and sanitation. Before the start of the project implementation, HEKS in partnership with SSUHA aims at carrying out a WASH baseline study including an inventory of existing WASH facilities at the community, county and payam levels. This should also include a mapping of WASH infrastructure which can then be shown on a map output. This is together with knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) household assessment and a valuation of existing mechanism and capacity of WASH services at community, payam and county level. This will provide key WASH indicators in the existing and potentially new payams that the project hopes to implement in. These initial results will be the basis for quantifying and evaluating project results.

4. Scope of Work and Methodology

The consultant will collect, analyse and present findings on the status of the key indicators to HEKS on the WASH baseline data and KAP data. The tools to collect data need to be developed based on HEKS guidelines and taking into account international acceptable standards for rural water and sanitation.

The main objective is to establish baseline data and KAP information before the project start. These same indicators will be evaluated at the end of the project. The study will also look at the needs of the beneficiaries, in regards to their knowledge, attitude and behaviours, against what resources are available. The baseline will also collect data in order to provide information gaps. It is anticipated that the consultant will also carry out a SWOT and a PEST analysis.

Some of the key interventions include:

· Different WASH infrastructure established

· Safe water points constructed/rehabilitated

· Sanitation facilities established

· Promotion of good Hygiene behaviour

· Knowledge and policy

· Good practices of implementation adopted and advocated

South Sudan: WASH in Schools Standards and Guidelines

$
0
0
Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 24 Sep 2014

Background

WASH in schools (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene promotion in schools) is a component of child-friendly school interventions that supports efforts of ensuring that children go to schools that provide a safe, healthy and comfortable environment where children grow, learn and thrive. The WASH in schools programme aims to provide access to safe and child-friendly water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities along with hygiene education in order to improve health, enhance girls’ attendance, boost education achievement, and promote gender equity.

The Ministry of Education Science and Technology has developed the General Education Strategic Plan, 2012 to 2017 which is a reference document for stakeholders in the Education Sector with the aim of improving and increasing access to quality and equitable general education. According to EMIS (2013) only 40% of schools in South Sudan have access to water supply, while only 43% of the schools have toilets. Overall, most schools in South Sudan lack basic WASH facilities, including inadequate hygiene education programmes.

While the current WASH in schools interventions by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and various stakeholders have helped to address some gaps through various projects, the main challenge has been the sustainability of these WASH facilities, especially with regard to operation and maintenance. It is also worth noting that organizations engaged in WASH in schools interventions in South Sudan introduce different types of sanitation and water facilities and some of the facilities do not meet basic standards such as availability of hand washing facilities, separate toilets for girls and boys, access for children with disabilities, suitability of the facilities for the end user needs, etc.

The Consultant will be working closely with GPEP UNICEF Team, WASH UNICEF Team, MoEST staff, MEDWRI staff and partners involved in WASH in schools programmes and other relevant stakeholders in South Sudan. It is expected that the WASH in Schools standards/guidelines will be comprehensive.

Justification

The development of the WASH in schools guidelines will contribute towards the goals of the General Education Strategic Plan, 2012 to 2017. UNICEF, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Electricity Dams Water Resource and, Irrigation, as well as the Education sector Technical Working Group and the WASH in Schools actors, have agreed to develop a set of standards based on the local context as guidelines for the WASH in schools programme which will be used by all stakeholders in the sector. Specifically these proposed standards will contribute to the following strategic objectives:

· Increased access to general education and promoting equity in schools

· Improved primary school attendance, health and cognitive development

· Increased girls’ attendance and participation in education as a result of improved personal menstrual hygiene practices and facilities in the school

· Inculcate positive hygiene behaviors that may last a life time

· Outreach to families and communities, through the participation of students in hygiene promotion

· Overall improved quality of learning environments in South Sudan.
