Performance Report for FY 2009/10 4.10 Contribution to Management of Improved Water Supplies Maintenance of rural water sources is through the Community Based Maintenance system with communities taking charge for maintenance aspects of their water sources through participating in the water source activities and contributing funds for acquisition of spares. NGOs involved in development of water sources train Water and Sanitation Committee 5 to take on the responsibility of developing capacity among the beneficiary population to be able to operate and maintain their water sources. Provision of follow-up support and re-training has been demonstrated to keep the community based water source management committees and resource persons (HPM, Scheme attendants) active. During FY 2009/10, an estimated total of 2,500 committees 6 have been trained and re-trained. Eleven piped water Scheme Attendants, and 119 Handpump Mechanics have been trained to take responsibility of O&M, sanitation and hygiene. Seventy Six handpumps were supplied with tools for handpump maintenance purposes. Many NGOs and district Local Governments (Moyo, Amuria, and Kabale among others) are encouraging use of O&M funds as resolving funds (small loans) among user communities. The practice has been demonstrated to yield positive results in terms of raising funds (through interest paid) and further promoting community participation in the O&M of the water source. SNV is promoting the formation of Handpump mechanics association in the districts of Adjuman, Kabarole, Kasese and Yumbe. In Kibaale district, the Kibaale District Hand pump Mechanics Association is being supported by the District Local Government as it plays a key role in maintaining the handpumps in the district. A number of case studies are here presented to reflect some of the contributions in management of water sources. Case Study 4.9 presents the case of Kibaale Handpump Mechanics Association and their contribution to the maintenance of water sources in Kibaale district; Case Study 4.10: Supporting CBMS: Amuria District: reflects how the WEDA has supported CBMS and the experience of the community in maintaining their handpump. Case Study 4.11 presents capacity building of management committees and reflects on problems association with management of water supply facilities. Case Study 4.9 Kibaale Handpump Mechanics Association: Source National Learning Forum 2010/SAWA Uganda The Associations Kibaale Hand Pump Mechanics Association was formed in 1996 and has a membership of 42 mechanics drawn from the subcounties. It is a registered Association at the district with a democratically elected committee. The Association has a stock of spares that they sell. Income is made from selling spare parts to communities as from payments from community for repair services provided. 5 WEDA (operating in Amuria District) is adopting the concept of a water source WASH committee to reflect the sanitation and hygiene responsibilities of the Committee. 6 This is an estimate figure based on new water sources developed and rehabilitated and indications of follow-up training activities for water source committees. There is a likelihood that some NGOs interpreted No. of Committees trained to mean number of individuals on the committees who undertook training. NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector | 50
Performance Report for FY 2009/10 Collaboration with the district administration The association members receive refresher training in new skills organized by the District Water Office. The further support is received from the district in terms of a motorcycle and a monthly ration of 30 litres of petrol to ease transport. The motorcycle is used by the mobile team that provides backup support to other HPMs. The toolkits used by the members are provided by the district government since they are expensive to procure. Periodic restocking is done to ensure they are equipped with the right set of tools to rehabilitate the boreholes. The Association has fabricated fishing tools for fishing out dropped-in pipes rather than rely on drilling rigs. The Association is now planning to raise UGX 18m to purchase cleaning equipment for de-silting boreholes. As a civil society organization, the Kibaale HPMs participates in the District Water and Sanitation Coordination Meetings where reports of the association activities are presented; for example, they provide information on how many boreholes are working, how many are not working and which ones are beyond repair. This enables the DWO prepare plans for rehabilitation and write off based on field information. In order to be able to win contracts from the district administration, the association registered a company the Kibaale District Pump Mechanics and Water Supply Limited. The company has been able to secure contracts from the District at least once a year. The DWO has continued to award the Association contracts to rehabilitate boreholes, something which strengthens their financial base. For example in 2001 – 2003, they were awarded contracts to enable the Association to acquire start up funds, which included repairs of tanks and gutters; repairs of springs and hand pumps. Lessons learnt • It is good to transform from a mere association to a registered company. • It is important to provide a mobile plant and fuel to monitor the work of mechanics in the different sub-counties. • It is wiser to start with analysing functionality in the context of those hand-pumps worth repairing than spend large sums of money on frequent repair works. • Committed leadership is essential for community service Success factors • Support from the district in securing contracts. • Regular meetings • Refresher training – updated in new skills. • World Vision continued training of new Pump Mechanics. This means creating lower structures and bringing in new members. Future plans for the association • Mobilising pump mechanics in other districts like Kyenjonjo, Kasese, Kamwenge, Arua, Adjumani, Yumbe to establish similar associations and companies with support from SNV • Establishing a regional organization. • Acquiring a de-silting machine. 51 | NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector
