III. MONITORING
Within the two-week period only one monitoring visit was
undertaken by Pirnazar Shodmonov (head of the sanitary
department) to Tursunzade and Varzob districts.
Nevertheless, the field teams continue to call UNICEF and
SES for consultation, as when Khatlon and RRS teams
visited the UNICEF office for consultations on quality
control procedures. The field teams now follow qualitycontrol
procedures and submit completed forms regularly.
The main difficulties during this period related to the
winter. The field teams emphasized the difficulty in reaching sources, especially springs, even with a
car. In Tursunzade district, for example, the team had to leave the car and walk up the mountains to
get the water sample.
