Performance Report for FY 2009/10 Even if communities are able to cover operation and maintenance costs, they still need continuous training, follow up and motivation in order to keep the financial management sound and transparent. In addition, they need financial support to cover Capital Maintenance Expenditure (CapManEx). The cost-tracking exercise shows that even though the communities are able to cover operation and maintenance costs, they still need continuous support in form of capacity building (ExpDS) and financial means (CapManEx) in order for the systems to keep running. On average, each of the three projects needed 32 million UGX in the financial year 2009-10 for Capital Maintenance Expenditure (CapManEx) and Expenditure on Direct Support (ExpDS). In the case of Fontes Foundation, the NGO is taking over most of these costs, with small contributions from the community, local government and other partners. However, in most rural water systems there are no support mechanisms to cover these costs. This should be taken into account when considering if the community management model is the most efficient way of managing rural water supplies, or if there are more cost-effective alternatives through government or the private sector. At the same time, the resources spent on mobilising and training community members also have a number of positive side-effects on development, health and community organisation. Only when these externalities are fully considered and included in the cost-benefit analysis, the real effectiveness of community management can be understood. The complete results of the costtracking study will be presented at a Symposium in the Hague, the Netherlands, in November 2010. Case Study 6.2 Targeting the vulnerable. Source VAD Background ‘Your Donation brings good life to my family’. Ms Nantulo Deborah of Mulume village, Kanzize parish in Masuliita Sub county is certainly in good moods as she narrates the story to one of the VAD project staff. Ms Nantulo aged 87 is one of the elderly women in Mulume village of Masuliita Subcounty who were supported by VAD with funds from Aidlink Ireland to acquire a water jar and an improved pit latrine in her home. Deborah tells her story “I am such an elderly person who had lost hope of living in a good health environment and have access to clean safe water at my door step”. She begins, “I stay with nine grand children; five girls and four boys. “Out of the nine grand children, five are orphans whose parents died of HIV/AIDS many years back. I am such a helpless person with a poor un-safe latrine. It is not my pride at all to have such a poor latrine and to be in a poor sanitation situation but I have nothing to do because my children died long ago and left me with no help at all”.

Performance Report for FY 2009/10 ‘In such a worrying situation, there came good Samaritan people Voluntary Action for Development (VAD) and supported me with two stance VIP latrine with a wash room and a rain harvesting water jar of 2,500 liters. It was indeed a miracle to me. Iam very happy to say that there is no more shame in my family”. “ I have an excellent VIP latrine where you can even go and have no worry. I get visitors and I no longer have shame for my latrine if at all they want to use it. I access clean water as well. We drink boiled water and my grand children no longer trek long distances for clean water for domestic use. We live happily, we enjoy every bit of life and though 87 years I still have hope of living longer. Water is Life”. “I want to take this very opportunity to appreciate everyone who has ensured this happen to bring about hope in my home; LC 1 Chair person-Mr. Ssempijja Vincent of Mulume village and the Mulume community who elected me to be a beneficiary. For VAD am just speechless because they have done a lot to me which I can never forget, lastly but not least to thank; Aidlink who gave me this donation. Long live all my Good Samaritan. May God reward you abundantly. Case Study 6.3 Sanitation promotion through campaigns. Source WaterAid Uganda Introduction WaterAid in Uganda is using campaigns to put water, sanitation and hygiene on the political and public agenda. On March 22, 2010 – a day commemorated world wide as the World Water Day and climax of the National Sanitation Week here in Uganda, Water Aid working together with the Kawempe Division local government and partner NGOs in the area mobilised close to 3000 pupils from the informal settlements of the Division to queue up in solidarity with the 2.6 billion people across the world that still lack access to a safe and dignified toilet. This was part of the World’s Longest Toilet Queue – a global campaign bringing together thousands of people from across the world to raise attention to the sanitation and water crisis. Campaign activities For the whole month, WaterAid in Uganda partners carried out house to house community sensitisation, conducted clean ups and also mobilised school to join in the world record-breaking symbolic toilet queue to urge the Uganda government to tackle the national hygiene and sanitation crisis. In Kawempe and Wakiso district, campaigners queued with placards before marching through the city suburbs and market areas urging their local leaders and government to make sanitation and hygiene a priority in planning and resource allocation at all levels. 79 | NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector
