About
Overview:The JP’s main objective was the promotion of community-oriented governance for peri-urban and rural water and sanitation health (WASH) services. Specifically, the JP supported two Ministries, the Ministry of Energy and Water and Ministry of Environment, to provide clean water and sanitation to the population. The JP also contributed to the Angola poverty eradication strategy, and sought to enhance health and quality of life for the poor and vulnerable through increased access to improved WASH services. The links between WASH and improvements in public health outcomes are directly affected by hygiene behaviour, for this reason the JP sought to increase the practice of safe hygiene behaviours. Under Outcome 1 a Master Plan for Water and Sanitation for three municipalities was designed, approved and presented with participation of local authorities. The formulation of one of them was done with the participation of local gov staff, in this way combining the creation of the Master Plan with capacity building. Following the Angola Government regulation, all the municipalities of the country are required to have a Master Plan for Water and Sanitation by 2014. Mechanisms for accountability were established at municipal level. The Urban Waste Management Strategic Plan (already approved in the National Parliament), was prepared in partnership with the Ministry of Environment. The National Environmental Sanitation Policy was also supported and is under discussion in the National Parliament. These two national policies are expected to contribute to create a solid legal framework in the water and sanitation sector. In addition to this, several studies were conducted (on availability of spare parts of water systems; on informal market for water supply; on prices for water supply) to inform policy-makers and help them on the formulation of new policies and specific regulations. Two one-week training workshops for national journalists on MDGs were conducted and UN staff from different UN agencies lectured to increase knowledge and awareness on MDGs. Under Outcome 2 over sixty new water points were installed, as well as new water systems, together with the rehabilitation of public water points and water systems in schools and health centers. Capacity building of Water and Sanitation Committees is expected to provide access to safe water for over two hundred and fifty thousand beneficiaries. Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), an umbrella term applied to a set of non-subsidy based approaches, which aimed to completely eliminate open defecation and promote demand for sanitation across entire communities, was one of the most important achievements of the programme. The installation of water systems together with CLTS contributed to the reduction in the prevalence of diarrheal and cholera due to the combined effect of behavior change of improved sanitation and interventions in water infrastructure among the communities. Under Outcome 3, mechanisms for monitoring and financing community water systems and sanitation were established at municipal level, including the Water and Sanitation Sector Information System (SISAS) which will serve as reference for the Global Annual Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water (GLAAS), allowing the Government to monitor and assess the MDG targets. One of the most important achievements was the involvement and participation of communities in the development of the activities with the integration of all WASH components and the political commitment at Provincial and municipal levels. The JP encouraged participation of women in the management of water points. The model for community management of water points MOGECA (Modelo de Gestão Comunitária) was finalized and is officially acknowledged by the Ministry of Energy and Water as an important tool for sustainability and management of community water points (Output 4).
