  1. Using the Small-Scale Guidelines

  2. The Small-Scale Guidelines Available at www.encapafrica.org Sector coverage: Agriculture & Irrigation CBNRM Construction Ecotourism Energy Sources for Development Fisheries and Aquaculture Forest Management, Plantations & Agroforestry Healthcare Waste Housing Humanitarian Response & Disaster Assistance Livestock Micro & Small Enterprises (multiple sectors) Pest Management: IPM Pest Management: Safer Pesticide Use Rural Roads Small Health Facilities (in draft) Schools (in draft) Water Supply and Sanitation Using the Small-Scale Guidelines. visit www.encapafrica.org

  3. Organization Chapter outline Brief description of the sector Potential environmental impacts of development programs in the sector and their causes Guidelines for sector program design Environmental mitigation and monitoring Annotated resources and references Key source of information for identifying potential env impacts. (In design phase, prior to a field visit, etc. ) ! Not a design manual. Focused specifically on ESDM. Experience in the technical aspects of project design is assumed. In table format—designed for easy use Link to extended resources via on-line bibliographies Using the Small-Scale Guidelines. visit www.encapafrica.org

  4. ESDM & Health Facilities(some key issues from the Small-Scale Guidelines) Some clinic wastes requiring management Sharps (used needles, scalpels,broken glass) Excrement(Urine & faeces) As we discussed this morning: • Goal: Improve public health • Risk:Endanger the health of patients and the community with poor facilities design & improper waste management Key issue: environmental contamination that poses health risks to patients, staff and the community. Gray water Pathological wastes(tissues, organs, blood & body parts) Some design issues Site latrines, waste pits close to wells Site unscreened kitchen near latrines Using the Small-Scale Guidelines. visit www.encapafrica.org

  5. Assignment: Dive into the Guidelines • A briefing on a local health clinic (coming next) will identify: • key ESDM deficits (env impacts and health risks) • Proposed remedies (mitigations) to address these deficits • In small groups, we will use the draft Small Health Facilities Guidance to evaluate: • Are the proposed mitigations appropriate/good practice? • If not clear, the critical variables that will determine the answer. • Key issues will be divided among the groups • Facilitators & participant health sector experts will provide feedback/debriefing within each group. • Time allocation: 20 mins discussion/research + 5 mins debrief. • Be as detailed as possible in the time available. (may require looking up issues in other chapters of the Guidelines.) • Ask questions as needed! Using the Small-Scale Guidelines. visit www.encapafrica.org
