Good practices for Social inclusion - Case studies and summary

Annex 6: Evaluation of Community Managed Mini Sewerage in Denpasar
Background
Terms of Reference (DRAFT)
Between 2002 and 2006, and with the help of the German NGO BORDA, the NGO BaliFokus built
five SANIMAS systems with household connections in five low-income communities of Denpasar.
One more system is now under preparation. The services aim at providing low income households with
an effective, clean and environmentally safe way to dispose of human excreta and grey water. They
also aim at providing a lower-cost and effective alternative to off-site sewerage and sewage treatment.
Objectives
The objectives of the evaluation are
- to describe, analyse and document the approaches, experiences and results of the communitymanaged
mini sewerage services in six locations
- to assess the costs, effectiveness, sustainability and equity of the services for men and women,
including poor women and men
- to determine the user satisfaction of men and women about the projects and the services,
including poor women and men
- to assess the impacts (positive and negative) from the processes and the service for women
and men
- to summarize the findings from the six case studies
- to draw general lessons and formulate general recommendations for an expanded replication
in the city sanitation strategy and action plan 2009-2015;
- to photograph the services and the evaluation process
Intended results
Intended results of the activity are:
- a gender and poverty specific comparative study on the costs, effectiveness, sustainability,
equity and impacts of community managed mini sewerage

methods and materials used and the participation of local men and women in planning, design

financial management,
bookkeeping and accountability of financial and programme management to the users;
