Democratic Republic of the Congo: DRC WASH Consortium Consultancy: operational research on training and support for Water Management Committees

Organization: Concern Worldwide
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Closing date: 09 Jan 2015

DRC WASH Consortium: Terms of Reference for operational research on training and support for Water Management Committees

1. Introduction

The DRC WASH Consortium which is comprised of five agencies, Action Against Hunger (ACF); Agence d'aide à la Coopération Technique et au Développement (ACTED); Catholic Relief Services (CRS); Concern Worldwide (as lead agency) and Solidarités International, seeks a consultant or team of consultants to:

  1. Review the Consortium’s current approach and other approaches in the sector to supporting and training village committees for managing rural WASH services, in particular the management of water points such as handpumps on boreholes or dug wells, spring catchments, and small gravity flow schemes.
  2. Develop, test and roll-out improved training modules for water management committees, especially on project management, financial management and social marketing to foster adherence to payment for WASH services. This should include how to develop local ‘business plans’ for rural WASH services which enable all life-cycle costs of different technical options to be considered as part of informed investment decisions by communities and local authorities.
  3. Design pilot initiatives and develop the initial set-up of these initiatives for providing long-term support to water management committees by local actors outside the community on key issues such as:
  4. Administration (e.g. advice on legal issues such as developing water user associations).
  5. Finance (e.g. mutualisation of costs and support to capital maintenance costs; support to income-generating activities; accounting advice; links to banking facilities).
  6. Technical support (e.g. technical advice on repairs; support to supply chain development and spare part stocking).
  7. Background to WASH in DRC and the Consortium

In DRC, investments in rural water infrastructure are generally made without good information on what is required in the long term, especially in terms of financing and technical support, for the infrastructure to provide a sustainable service to the users. The responsibility for organising and financing long-term operation, maintenance, and minor and major repairs is left to the users by default, usually through community-based water management committees. The actor with the greatest influence on the choice of infrastructure and the decision to invest is often an external NGO or private company who is present in the area only for a limited period.

However, evidence shows that communities are rarely able to maintain infrastructures without some form of long-term external support. At the very least, technical support is required such as skilled mechanics who can carry out significant repairs. Other forms of support are also usually needed, such as support to help communities raise money to pay for repairs (for example, through helping develop local tariff systems or income-generating activities), and also direct financial support for some repairs themselves. Given the weak capacity of all local actors in DRC (communities, local authorities, health services, private sector etc.), it is important to make investment decisions about what infrastructure to install and where to install it based on a realistic assessment of local capacities to ensure the infrastructure functions in the long-term.

In this context, the DRC WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Consortium is working to increase the coverage of sustainable water and sanitation provision and hygiene behaviour in rural areas of DRC. The Consortium is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) through a grant of £23.9m from 2013-2017 as part of DFID’s 2013-2019 WASH programme in DRC.

In total, the DRC WASH Consortium aims to support 461 villages and 554,122 beneficiaries in up to 17 health zones in rural DRC through a 12-step process which lasts eighteen months in each village, followed by additional monitoring and evaluation for a further six months. Programme activities include the promotion of good hygiene behaviours through “Small Doable Actions”, support to the construction of household and institutional latrines, and (where judged technically and economically feasible for long-term sustainability) the development of water points such as spring protections, protected wells, and boreholes. The Consortium also works with local health services, local authorities, the private sector and civil society to develop their capacity to support communities and promote the sustainability of WASH services. The Consortium aims to use its experiences, innovation and research to produce and disseminate evidence for sustainable, community based solutions to WASH needs in the DRC.

  • For more background on the DRC WASH context, see Annex A.
  • Full details on the Consortium’s Theory of Change are included in Annex B.
  • The Consortium’s 9-point strategy and 12-step process are summarised in Annex C (note that the 12-step process is currently being revised and the detailed new version will be available in January 2015).
  • The full logical framework is included in Annex D, with baseline data from the first phase.
  • A map of the Consortium’s areas of intervention is included in Annex E.
  • Role of the consultancy in the context of the Consortium programme

The approach of the DRC WASH Consortium is designed to be flexible enough to integrate learning during the programme in line with the need for adaptive programming expressed by DFID and others,[1] especially if evidence produced shows that parts of the original Theory of Change may not be valid.

The programme therefore proceeds in a sequence of different phases of villages and conducts additional research and innovation projects to enable learning to be fed back into the programme. During the first two years of the programme, extra information becomes available from:

  • Field experiences and results from the completion of the first phase of villages (Sept 2013 – Feb-March 2015) and ongoing experiences from the second and third phases (in progress between April 2014 – Oct 2015). The fourth phase of villages is due to start in July 2015.
  • Research projects on: spare parts and supply chains for handpumps; community mobilisation and behaviour change.
  • Innovation projects on: preparation and rapid response for cholera outbreaks; WASH mapping.
  • Sharing of experiences with other sector actors through six-monthly Technical Reviews.

Key developments to the programme approach so far include:

  • More detailed development of an economic approach to better define, estimate and measure life-cycle costs and first steps in using this information as part of informed decision-making for investment in drinking water infrastructure.
  • Revision of the selection process for intervention areas and villages to increase the likelihood of success given the extremely challenging context in rural DRC.
  • Initial review of the Consortium’s approach to community mobilisation and behaviour change.

This consultancy forms part of the operational research component of the Consortium to enable learning from the first phases of the programme to feed into the ongoing second and third phases and the fourth phase which is due to start in July 2015.

4. Objectives of the consultancy

  1. Review the Consortium’s current approach and other approaches in the sector to supporting and training village committees for managing rural WASH services, in particular the management of water points such as handpumps on boreholes or dug wells, spring catchments, and small gravity flow schemes. This will include:
  2. Review of the existing tools used by the Consortium to help communities in project management and financial management, which are adaptations of tools originally developed by the Global Water Initiative (GWI) in West Africa.
  3. Review of tools developed by other organisations in the WASH sector such as IRC WASH and other work on implementing the life-cycle costs approach (LCCA) in practice.
  4. Review of tools developed by organisations outside the WASH sector in DRC for project management by communities such as Tuungane.
  5. Review of the existing capacity, strengths and weaknesses of village committees for managing water supplies, including: economic viability; ability to manage business plans; governance; water tariff policy; technical capacity; other Income Generating Activities; advocacy potential.
  6. Develop, test and roll-out improved training modules for water management committees which are adapted to the DRC context and can be used as part of the Consortium’s 18-month intervention process, especially on project management, financial management and social marketing to encourage payment for WASH services. This should include how to develop local ‘business plans’ for rural WASH services which enable all life-cycle costs of different technical options to be considered as part of informed investment decisions by communities and local authorities. This includes addressing the following questions:

o How can tools be adapted or developed for use at community level and integrated into training for water management committees? At least the following themes should be considered:

o Individual leadership skills

o Organizational development

o Operational management

o Financial management and transparency

o Cash management

o Water service delivery

o Tariff policy

o Technical capacity for maintenance and repairs of water points

o Business plan development, ownership, and management

o Public advocacy

o Ancillary income generating activities

o Communications and outreach

o What are the limits to the use of such tools and training, for example in communities which are extremely poor; extremely low-literacy; low social cohesion etc?

o How can tools and training be linked from village level to higher levels of government administration (e.g. decentralised entities; health zones; territories; provinces), to enable financial planning and investment decisions at different levels?

o How can the training process be replicated? What training is required by trainers themselves (staff of local health services and/or NGOs)?

  1. Develop pilot initiatives for providing long-term support to water management committees by local actors outside the community on key issues such as the following. These initiatives should be implementable in at least 1-2 health zones during 2015-2017. The consultants will be reasonable for the detailed design and set-up of the key initiatives identified in collaboration with the Consortium:
  2. Administration e.g. advice on legal issues such as developing water user associations.
  3. Finance e.g. mutualisation of costs and support to capital maintenance costs; support to income-generating activities; accounting advice; links to banking facilities.
  4. Technical support e.g. technical advice on repairs; support to supply chain development and spare part stocking.
  5. Outline methodology and timetable

The operational research should be completed during the period Jan-March 2015.

The detailed methodology will be developed by the consultants and approved by Concern Worldwide. The methodology must uphold DFID’s ethical principles for research and evaluation. At a minimum, the operational research should draw on:

  • Reports on previous research projects (spare parts and supply chains for handpumps; community mobilisation and behaviour change; climate and environment assessment).
  • Interviews / workshops with key internal and external stakeholders in Kinshasa.
  • Development and testing of tools with key internal and external stakeholders in at least two different areas of intervention, ideally more, including the views of direct programme participants.

Note that field visits to project sites typically require at least a week per project site including travel time (e.g. 2-4 days travel + 3-5 days at or near the project site).

Other key events to be considered as part of the timetable include:

  • The Consortium’s six-monthly external Technical Review in mid-March 2015 (date TBC). The consultant(s) will be expected to present the recommendations as part of this workshop.
  • Expected products

  • Draft methodology as part of proposal.

  • Inception report and final methodology for approval after XX days of the contract (to be agreed)

  • Draft tools and training modules for feedback after XX days of the contract (to be agreed).

  • Revised tools and training modules after testing.

  • A guide for trainers (staff of local health services and/or NGOs) on how to conduct the training at village level.

  • Preliminary presentation of findings and proposed structure of final report for feedback in country, including presentation during the external Technical Review in March 2015.

  • Final report, including:

o Stand-alone executive summary of 2-4 pages (in English and in French), which highlights the key lessons learned and key recommendations. (This will be used by the Consortium as the basis for a briefing note for the sector).

o Specific list of recommendations at different levels (strategic, programmatic, operational) targeted to different groups.

o Annex of all data, references and analyses undertaken.

6. Composition, skills and experience of the consultant(s)

Between them, the team members should have the following skills and experience. Collaborations between international and local consultants are encouraged.

Essential

  • Relevant academic and professional background in rural development and WASH, including experience in fragile states.
  • Experience in approaches for community mobilisation, social marketing and behaviour change.
  • Knowledge of the Life-Cycle Costs Approach and service delivery approaches for rural WASH.
  • Excellent communication and report-writing skills in English.
  • Ability to speak French.
  • Willingness and ability to work long hours in a difficult environment.

Desirable

  • Experience in DRC.

7. Management, reporting and quality assurance arrangements

The consultant(s) will be contracted by Concern Worldwide as the lead agency of the DRC WASH Consortium and will report to the Consortium Director and the Consortium WASH & M+E Coordinator. To ensure quality, the timing of payments will be made according to the delivery of key outputs, to be agreed in the contract. The inception report and final methodology will be approved by Concern Worldwide before proceeding to the development of tools. The draft tools and training modules will be approved by Concern Worldwide before proceeding to the completion of the final tools and guide for trainers.

[1]DFID’s 2013 “end to end review” of programming (led by the Deputy Head of DFID DRC at the time) concluded that the conventional approach to programme management needs to change and that programmes need to be flexible to adapt to changing realities and emerging opportunities (for more info see presentation by Pete Vowles on Adaptive Progamming at “Hard to Measure Benefits” workshop at DFID in London, October 2013).

Programme d’appui à l’enseignement technique et à la formation technique dans les districts de la Mongala et du Sud-Ubangi, province de l’Equateur, RDC

Réf. : RDC/12/175-1

Durée du contrat: 60 mois

****Lieu d’affectation****: Géména

Date probable d’entrée en fonction: à partir du premier trimestre 2015

Package salarial mensuel: entre 6.594,96 euros et 9.794,61 euros (en ce compris le salaire brut mensuel et les avantages liés au statut d’expatrié: primes d’éloignement et de pénibilité). Le salaire est calculé en fonction de la composition de ménage et de l’expérience professionnelle pertinente.

L’expert fait rapport au Représentant résident.

Le programme EDUEQUA

Le projet EDUEQUA vise l’amélioration de la qualité de la formation (surtout de la formation pratique) pour une meilleure insertion sur le marché de l’emploi, dans l’économie familiale et au travail autonome, dans l’intérêt des élèves et des apprenants, avec une attention particulière pour les filles.

Le projet part d’une vue globale sur le système Enseignement/ETFP au niveau des districts qui permet de tenir compte des éléments essentiels pour arriver à améliorer le fonctionnement des établissements ETFP ciblés (écoles et centres de formation). Il s’agira, en effet, de donner un appui aux différents éléments du système ainsi qu’aux interrelations pertinentes entre ces éléments, en tenant compte des mandats respectifs par rapport au bon fonctionnement des établissements concernés.

Le système Enseignement/ETFP est constitué de différents acteurs (autorités gouvernementales, établissements, secteur privé et communautés locales) qui sont en interrelations constantes. Les différentes parties présentes devraient assurer un équilibre de pouvoir entre les parties prenantes dans le système.

Le programme appuie les institutions en charge de l’ETFP (établissements et partenaires institutionnels) ainsi que les opérateurs économiques (entreprises et producteurs) dans l’adaptation de l’offre aux besoins des entreprises et des sortants.

Au vu des contraintes d’éloignement géographique, de la faiblesse des entreprises locales, du manque d’investissements et de la capacité d’absorption du marché de l’emploi, le projet suit une « approche pragmatique minimaliste ». Il vise à faire ce qui est techniquement réalisable : réhabilitation d’un nombre limité d’établissements et des voies d’accès, par la méthode des « chantiers-écoles », ce qui permettra d’implanter les formations pratiques dans les filières de la construction et de l’électricité domestique.

Le projet saisira également le potentiel du biocarburant à base d’huile de palme, largement disponible à bas prix, et de l’énergie solaire. Le projet impliquera les entreprises qui offrent des places de stage et des formateurs, il appuiera les pratiques des métiers et les communautés locales à jouer leurs rôles dans l’environnement des établissements ETFP.

CONTEXTE DE LA MISSION

Suite à la chute du Président Kadhafi en Libye un ensemble d’hommes armés sont retournés dans leur pays d’origine (Mali, Mauritanie, Niger…) en emportant avec eux des armes, des munitions et des véhicules. Cet afflux d’homme armés au nord du Mali a ravivé un ensemble de tensions nationales et pro-indépendantistes au nord du Mali. Profitant d’un coup d’état à Bamako le 22 mars 2012, les pro-indépendantistes (le MNLA en lien avec des groupes islamiques) ont profité de cette occasion pour occuper les grandes villes dans la moitié nord du pays. Au Nord, divers groupes armés, actifs depuis janvier 2012, avaient pris le contrôle des principales villes: Kidal, Gao et Tombouctou.

Les différents combats et la mise en place de la charia dans ces zones du Mali ont contraint près de trois cent mille personnes à quitter la zone et à chercher refuge soit à l'intérieur du Mali, soit dans les pays voisins (essentiellement Burkina Faso, Mauritanie et Niger).

Les déplacés internes ont été, pour la plupart, hébergés et accueillis par des familles hôtes déjà en situation de vulnérabilité et de précarité notamment liée à la sècheresse de 2012 qui a frappé toute la région du Sahel. Les populations restées au Nord ont subi une très forte restriction de liberté avec l’application de la Charia, diverses exactions envers les civils, l’effondrement des systèmes éducatifs, de santé, et souffrent de l’absence de services de l’Etat dans tous les domaines.

La situation militaire a pris une nouvelle dimension le 10 janvier 2013 avec la prise de la ville de Konna par les groupes islamistes, déclenchant l’intervention de la France et le déploiement simultané de la Mission Internationale de Soutien au Mali (MISMA).

Aujourd’hui, toutes les villes du nord sont sous contrôle de l’armée malienne soutenue par l’armée française et la MINUSMA (Mission Intégrée des Nations Unies pour la Stabilisation au Mali – organe qui a remplacé la MISMA le 1er juillet 2013) mais la situation reste très précaire et instable. Les combats perdurent en milieu rural et les groupes islamistes ont adopté une logique de guérilla.

Enfin, le processus électoral, clôt le 15 décembre 2013, a vu l’élection d’Ibrahim Boubacar Kéïta (dit IBK) à la tête de l’état et son parti politique ainsi que les partis alliés arrivés majoritaires à l’Assemblée Nationale. Ces élections scellent le retour à un ordre constitutionnel.

Néanmoins, les événements survenus en mai 2014 et caractérisés par la prise de plusieurs villes par les Groupes et Organisations Armées complexifient davantage la recherche d’une solution négociée à la crise malienne.

Les conséquences humanitaires de la situation qui prévaut depuis le début de l’année 2013 sont importantes avec l’amplification par la crise de vulnérabilités existantes ou provoquées par à celle-ci :

  • Perte des repères intracommunautaires ;
  • Stigmatisation intercommunautaires ;
  • Traumatismes dus à la période d’occupation ou au déplacement ;
  • Décapitalisation des ménages ;
  • Destruction ou manque d’entretien des infrastructures publiques ;
  • Destruction ou manque d’entretien de l’habitat ;
  • Arrêt des structures de l’Etat au Nord du pays.
  • Insécurité alimentaire chronique accrue par la crise.

HI au Mali :

Handicap International est présent au Mali depuis 20 ans principalement sur des activités de développement dans le sud et le nord du pays (dont la région de Tombouctou) : promotion des droits des personnes handicapées, renforcement de la société civile, accès à l'éducation pour les enfants handicapées, insertion professionnelle des personnes handicapées, détection et prise en charge des déficiences chez les enfants, etc.

Présent dans la région de Tombouctou depuis 16 ans, HI a maintenu son assistance aux populations vulnérables malgré l’insécurité qui perdure dans la région ces derniers mois. Depuis juin 2012, HI met en place des opérations humanitaires auprès des populations du Nord, précisément à Tombouctou et dans quatre communes du cercle de Gourma Rharous : distributions d'aide alimentaire, distribution d'intrants agricoles pour les agriculteurs exploitants de petites surfaces, distributions de kits hygiène destinés à aider la population à prévenir les maladies transmissibles par l'eau, réhabilitation de puits. De plus, Handicap International a mené une évaluation psychosociale dans la zone allant de Niafunké à Gourma-Rharous.

Programme de la Direction de l’Action d’Urgence de Handicap International au Mali :

Actuellement, la Direction de l’Action d’Urgence de Handicap International met en œuvre 4 projets au Mali, tous dans la région de Tombouctou :

  1. Un projet WASH, qui a débuté en juillet 2014 et se termine fin juin 2015
  2. Un projet d’assistance alimentaire (distribution de cash ou de vivres) et nutrition, de janvier à décembre 2014
  3. Un projet filets sociaux en collaboration avec un cadre commun réunissant 5 organisations, qui se terminera en février 2015.
