  33. CHALLENGES (What were the inhibiting factors) • Very ambitious AWP with very many activities. • Prolonged rainy season which limited the timeframe to effectively implement planned activities in rural areas due to poor access/bad road network. • Success of the PPP/ Delegated management framework approach remains a challenge due to low financial capacity of CBEs/NGOs/contractors, which largely affected implementation of WinHCF nationally. • Slow implementation rate, which is not evenly distributed and leaving it late until the last half/quarter of the year • Low absorption and utilization of AWP allocated funds. • Delayed liquidations leading to blockage of partners and affected access to funding for other activities for extended periods of time.

  34. CHALLENGES (What were the inhibiting factors) • Limited funding for WinHCF in Liberia despite high needs and IPC concerns for especially children. • Inadequate coordination of WASH stakeholders’ activities at county and district levels and Irregular WASH Coordination meetings held in counties • Limited human resources amongst partners for quality CLTS implementation • Slippage among ODF communities & limited post ODF monitoring arrangements • Inappropriate technologies and designs for difficult environments. • Inadequate budgetary allocations for WASH. • Limited space for construction of WASH facilities • Limited technical WASH knowledge in the Urban context.

  35. OPPORTUNITIES (What were the facilitating factors) • Willingness of communities, institutions and other beneficiaries to support WASH projects as they perceive • Community and people’s awareness of the importance of WASH as cross sectoral sector, which contributes to better health, good learning environment and helps to reduce susceptibility to many common diseases. • Prior presence of implementing partners and agencies in programme areas, which led to community trust for the partners and agencies to deliver quality projects. • Lack of adequate, quality and quantity water supply and safe and dignify sanitation in most part of the communities. • Building on the Ebola response experiences. • Available donor funding and spillover of funds from the Ebola response. • UNICEF Regional office strategic support, an addition of WinHCF as a key component of UNICEF WASH in Health programming. • High MoH and MoE support for WASH in HCFs and schools

  36. OPPORTUNITIES (What were the facilitating factors) • Involvement of MIA in WASH activities & coordination meetings in counties. • Availability of CLTS and Hygiene Promotion, SHC guidelines at county level. • Promotion of the Public Health law among communities will help to improve the environment and make people more responsible for their WASH services. • Introduction of PHAST tools to help communities move up the sanitation ladder.

  37. LESSONS LEARNED (Successful areas that need to be sustained or scaled up) • Involving and engaging direct project beneficiaries and communities speeds up implementation and promotes ownership besides creating income opportunities. • Timely planning, procurement of service providers and prepositioning supplies during the dry season helps continuation for implementation of projects during the rainy season, which reduces accessibility. • County capacity to monitor and coordinate WASH implementation helps maintain quality and implementation continuity during the rainy season and should be encouraged. • Multi-sector partnership implementation approach especially for the urban context maximizes on impact . • More ownership of the WASH project is required from respective Institution administrations for quality assurance sustainability. • To promote sustainability, it is imperative to establish post-implementation monitoring and maintenance arrangements prior to project completion & hand-over of facilities.

  38. LESSONS LEARNED (Successful areas that need to be sustained or scaled up) • Engagement with community resource persons (or ‘natural leaders’), community-based structures and the use of indigenous local technology and local solutions remained the linchpin for success, as exemplified in CLTS programmes. • Procurement for implementing partners (PCA) needs to be done either in Q4 of preceding year and/or concluded by Q1 of the AWP year. • Community understanding the value of CLTS makes them feel proud of their environment & ODF communities have more improved living standard than OD, example from pit latrines to pour flush latrine and thatch roof to zinc roof . • Joint UNICEF/government monitoring visits enabled quick actions to be taken towards solving implementation related problems in counties. • Full involvement of local stakeholders, including DEO, PTA, and other county staff, throughout the project, contribute to the successful implementation of the project and sustainability.

  39. FINANCIAL IMPLEMENTATION

  40. Priorities for 2018 • Alignment of WASH work with SDGs. • Expand/Scale up of sanitation and hygiene promotion services and Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) in communities to achieve district ODF • Sanitation and urban WASH mapping. • Strengthening baseline/data collection, documentation, evidence generation through studies, knowledge & information management. • Follow up on WASH financing recommendations, mobilise resources and expand financing options for the sector. • Advocacy for WASH cross sectoral linkages • Create an enabling environment for WASH through coordination, capacity building, addressing climate change, DRR and building resilient communities.

  41. Priorities for 2018 • Strengthen monitoring (focusing on post ODF communities for sustainability) • Sanitation marketing and maintained sanitation and hygiene database developed. • CLTS national review and Training of CLTS Verification team
