Transcript of Ten for 10 | Water for Africa & Water for People Google+ Hangout
• 1 in 4 do not have access to safe water; 1.8 billion
worldwide
• 1 in 3 do not have access to improved sanitation; 2.5 billion worldwide.
• 6,000 die each day from water- and sanitation-related diseases; 90% are children.
Yet, the statistics of the global water and sanitation crisis do not tell the whole story. Billions of dollars have been invested in the sector, but projects are still failing. Why?
• Poor planning and execution; lack of local ownership; lack of a functional support environment, which undermines operation, maintenance,
replacement, and extension of services; lack of follow-up (monitoring) to see if the projects are working over time.
WATER FOR PEOPLE IS WORKING TO CHANGE THAT IN 10 COUNTRIES
SIMPLE OUTCOME-ORIENTED PRINCIPLES
• EVERYONE: Every family, school and clinic in targeted districts has access to safe, clean water and sanitation.
• FOREVER: Success is defined as full coverage being sustained over time so that targeted districts never need another international water and sanitation NGO again.
• CO-FINANCING: Government and communities pay while external implementing agencies finance gaps needed to reach full district coverage but money needed declines over time.
• MONITORING: Outcomes are monitored to verify results and help institutionalize capacity to address inevitable problems that emerge.
• SCALE/REPLICATION: Momentum at district level leads to a national push around the principles of Everyone Forever.
