Visit of CLIFF team to Lumanti Head Office:
Lumanti had submitted an EOI to CLIFF-Homeless International to partner with them in order to
improve housing conditions of poor in Nepal. Of the 120 applicants, Lumanti was among the 4
selected for the next step of the evaluation for the qualification. This was the fourth step to qualify for
the CLIFF programme for 2011/2012. For this purpose, a team of four personals from the organization
visited Lumanti on 22nd of September, 2010 on a week’s trip. The principal objective of this visit was to
get to know the organization and its approaches better.
As part of series of meetings with the Lumanti Staff members, a brief presentation was given by the
CLIFF team on the concept and approach of the whole programme. The presentation also included
the works being done in other CLIFF Partners such as Philippines, India and Sri Lanka. A general
overview of the Nepal’s urban scenario and works done by Lumanti was briefed to visiting team.
Several meetings were conducted with individual staff and project teams to learn about their roles,
responsibilities and working mechanism of these projects. A field trip to Kirtipur Housing was
organized and so was the trip to Bharatpur to see the ACCA approach of community-led housing
programme there. In addition to these, the visit also comprised of several meetings with Lumanti’s
board members, partners (both government and non government), stakeholders, federations,
cooperative and community members.
The team was immensely impressed with approaches adopted by Lumanti to make its projects
community-led. The concept to link community saving and saving and credit cooperative with housing
was well- appreciated.
Evaluation conducted by Social Welfare Council (SWC)
A study was conducted by a team consultant from SWC to evaluate the process adopted during
implementation of Lumanti’s programmes and its impact on the targeted beneficiaries. The study
seeked to assess: progress made by the projects; their impact on the slum and squatter communities;
implementation process and strategies followed; sustainability aspects; coordination and partnership
among the stakeholders; financial management and discipline maintained; use and records of the
expendable and durable items; and compliance by the institution to laws of the state and the Social
Welfare Act 2049 BS. It was conducted in three of the projects currently being implemented by the
organization namely ACCA Slum Upgrading Project in Bharatpur, Chitwan; Water, Environment and
Local Livelihood (WELL) Project in Nepalgunj; and Khadipakha and Narayan Tole Environmental
Sanitation Improvement Project in Kathmandu. A brief presentation and discussion for each of the
programmes were conducted, followed by a field trip to each of these areas. The focus of these visits
was to interact with the key stakeholders principally the community members in order to study
 To analyze socioeconomic sustainability,

To study problems encountered and efforts made to solve them,

To study coordination and partnerships among organization, project and local bodies.
9
A report was prepared by the team and presented before the Council of SWC, Lumanti personals .
Some of the key issues and suggestions highlighted in the report are as follows.
1. The ACCA program model of housing development is now replicable in local governmentprivate-community mode of project design. Since the municipalities lack such funds,
government should allocate for urban areas as it is done in “people’s residence program” for
rural housing development for dense settlement program.
2. Lumanti should change its mandate and extend coverage to rural areas as well to reach out
more communities to support shelter development.
3. The nature of urban poverty has been more dynamic with increased urbanization over time.
Lumanti should as well focus on research towards increasing urbanization and associated
problems and likely solutions. How to cope with dynamic nature of urban poverty is a
challenge faced by the nation today.
This evaluation has been beneficial for the organization so as to improve on the aspects, on which
the organization need further strengthening.
B: Change in donor relations or funding
Election of a new board
A Special Annual General Assembly was held on 12th Sep 2010 to elect a new board for the
organization. New Board members are as follows
1. President Mr. Prafulla Man Singh Pradhan
2. Vice President Ms. Eliza Baidya
3. General Secretary - Ms. Lajana Manandhar
4. Tresurer Ms. Sajana Amatya/Shakya
5. Member Mr. Padam Lal Shrestha
6. Member Mr. Kuldeep Tuladhar
7. Member Mr. Anil Sthapit
The tenure of this board will be for 2 years. During the program, the old team handed over the
roles and responsibilities to the new members.
C: Key operational blockages-internal/external
Due to a week- long indefinite strike (Aamhadtaal) called by CPN (Maoist), from May 1, 2010
till May 7 2010, all the activities planned during the period had to be postponed.
Most of the local festival, culture and tradition of Chaudhary community fall on the month of
Baishak, (April – May), this has also delayed the project activities.
The latrine construction has been affected by a continuous rainfall. Rings used for the latrine
are built onsite and inundation as well as high water table problems not only hindered the ring
production but also made the construction work was difficult.
The connection of water pipeline in Malangbaba Tole of ward no 6, was delayed due to conflict
between the service provider (Itahari Small Town Water & Sanitation Users Corporation) and
Malangbaba Tole Bikash Samitee. Initially in the stakeholder’s meeting, it was agreed to
provide subsidy Rs. 2000 to all the urban poor of the community. But after the Malangbaba UC
submitted the forms for the pipeline connection, Small Town disagreed to provide the subsidy
amount to the household with land ownership. According to Small Town, if the subsidy was
10
granted to those household, other beneficiaries of the Small Town will also seek for the same
support and for that Small Town cannot invest. But, the community demanded for an equal
subsidy for all the urban poor of the area, otherwise they will not allow Small Town to connect
the pipeline even in the squatter household. The pipeline connection’s work resumed only
after the decision of ISTWSUC for providing subsidy to the users in connection of pipelines.

CHAPTER 3: ADDITIONAL KEY EVENTS TO DATE
Every year Nepal government is celebrating 'National Sanitation Week' marking World
Environment Day, June 5. This year as well, the government has announced 'National
Sanitation Week' which started from 5th June 2010 for a week. To celebrate this national
event, the Water and Sanitation Division Office at Itahari summoned all the stakeholders,
NGOs, CBOs and VDCs for a joint meeting to share their activities. Every organizations
working in Sunsari district presented their activities focusing the sanitation issues and its
importance for the development of the area.
Lumanti, to mark the 'National Sanitation Week' conducted a week long community clean up
campaign and sanitation awareness programmes in all the six communities of ward no. 6
where Lumanti has implemented its programmes during the fiscal year 2009/2010.

B. Executive Summary: (Annual Report Only)- not more than 1 page
Lumanti in partnership with Itahari Municipality has been implementing 'Itahari Integrated Water,
Sanitation and Hygiene Improvement Program' (IWASH) in all targeted clusters of 4 wards.
During the program implementing period, in the fiscal year 2009/10, under IWASH program,
Lumanti in partnership with Itahari Municipality has covered 6 clusters (342 HH) of ward 6. To
address the water, sanitation and hygiene situation in the targeted clusters of ward 6, Lumanti has
initiated hardware and software programs. Likewise, during the fiscal year 2010/11, the program
has covered five clusters (252 HH) of ward 7 and two clusters (87 HH) of ward 8 to address the
water, sanitation and hygiene situation. The program has also covered one added cluster (94 HH),
Shiva Parbati tole of ward 6, during the fiscal year 2010/11 with the recommendation of Itahari
Municipality as the clusters is just adjacent to Dedhgaria tole focusing the declaration of ODF
zone.
In this fiscal year 2010/11, IWASH program has also intervened six clusters (369 HH) of ward 9
through its hygiene promotion program through CHM and CHV.
For all the WASH programs initiated under IWASH, one Water & Sanitation Users Coordinating
Committee (WSUCC) is formed in ward no 6 representing six Water & Sanitation Users
Committee (WSUC). Likewise another WSUCC is formed representing seven WSUC from ward 7
and 8. The WSUC and WSUCC have been given trainings on pre construction, post construction
and operation and management of the water facilities provided. One WSUCC is formed in ward
no 9 representing six WSUC from ward 9.
The program has delivered water access to the targeted clusters. Around 1984 people from the
eight communities of wards no. 6, 7 and 9 including 1000 students from Shree Saraswati Satan
Ma Vi in ward no. 7 have been provided with improved access to water facilities. Lumanti has
installed 3 public hand pumps in Kadmaha Tole of ward 7. Lumanti, under its IWASH program
planned for the fiscal year, has laso taken initiative to address the interest of the community
people and the stakeholders and contributed for the household pipeline connections in
Malangbaba Tole of ward 6, Manakamana (Harijan) Tole of ward 7 and Namuna Tole of ward 9.
13
In short, 69 HH in Malangbaba Tole, 47 HH in Manakamana (Harijan) Tole and 37 HH in Namuna
Tole has now access to water pipeline by this programme in Itahari.
All the water points provided have been tested to ensure its use. Health and Hygiene programme
has been framed in the programme to address the recommendations from the water test result in
the community. 4 local cadres for WQ test has been developed in ward no 6, 7, 8 & 9 at
community/local level. CHM has been developed as a local cadre as water quality which is directly
related to public health and hygiene. It is learnt that, people are more impressed when the test is
done by their community health motivator.
CBME system has been initiated in some communities. However, the community has not
completely implemented the tools due to its complexity. Social Mobilizers and Community
Development Workers are conducting orientation programs to all UCs to initiate it in all cluster.
The technologies, learnings and good practices have been shared with the community groups and
local stakeholders at municipal level. Operation and Maintenance of large infrastructures where
many households depend is practical. However, operation and maintenance of a small scale
community hand-pump is very challenging as nobody claims responsibility and everyone claims
the right for using it. Apart from that, there is high risk of theft of hand pump head and other
accessories during night time. Therefore, the users committee themselves also did not show
interest for installation of community hand pumps. Based on the sharing, the municipality and
local stakeholders have shown interest towards extension of pipeline water wherever possible and
not promote groundwater extraction.
Likewise, the program has also delivered sanitation facilities to the targeted clusters through
which around 1483 people from the eleven communities of wards no.6, 7 and 8 are provided with
access to improved sanitation facilities in FY 10/11. The communities have adopted the
programme positively and have adopted healthy sanitation practices. Therefore five communities
of ward 6 and 4 communities of ward 7 are already declared ODF zone. Under the same program,
Lumanti has contributed its small budget for the installation of a biogas plant sized 35 m3 along
with public latrine in the local market (Hatiya Bazar) at Janata Basti of ward no 5. Total of around
144 people from 27 households will be difrectly benefited through the construction of Bio gas
plant. Apart from the contribution of Lumanti, Itahari Municipality has also contributed for the
same. Besides, other stakeholders namely SEAM-N project and District Development Committee
have also shown their greater interest for contribution and are in the process. The local
construction committee has also requested Water & Sanitaiton Division Office, Sunsari for
financial support.
The program has also intervened on Livelihood support as recommended by WESHI plan through
Saving & Credit (S&C) Groups. 14 S&C groups from ward 6, 7 & 8 are currently functioning.
Through their initiatives, Women Cooperative titled 'Sangini Mahila Bachat Tatha Rin Sahakari
Sanstha Limited' is registered recently and now is in process for group transformation. Recently
registered Women cooperative shall also contribute in the sector of water, sanitation and hygiene
improvement sector. In the present context as well, some S&C groups in the clusters have been
contributing its members for the construction of super structures in the latrines through low
interest loan. Moreover, it is understood that some households in Malangbaba Tole of ward 6
have taken loan for their investment in household water pipeline connection.
Coordination and partnership with local stakeholders, I/NGOs and government agencies has
definitely left positive impact during the implementation of the IWASH program. Support from
District Health Office, Primary Health Centre and Marie Stopes for the Health Camp and
Orientation Program on women health focusing on healthy sanitation practice conducted by
Lumanti has been well appreciated by the community people. Likewise, a good partnership with
the only water pipeline service provider of Itahari Municipality, Itahari Small Town Water and
Sanitation Users Corporation (ISTWSUC), for the water pipeline extension and household water
pipeline connection has become the most appreciable step towards participatory approach.
14
ISTWSUC has provided its significant contribution specially focusing for urban poor communities.
On the other hand, people from the urban poor communities are also highly motivated for their
participation towards water pipeline connection.
As the CHVs and CHMs are selected from the community, they will remain in the community for
longer period than recruited the external facilitators/ workers. With this concept Lumanti has
mobilised the local people as CHV/ CHM. Their mobilisation in hygiene education and promotion
has been found effective in improving hygienic behavioural practices at the community level. Also
their participation in different activities during this project intervention in the different WASH
related issues has been found effective in enhancing their capacity in one hand and developing
human resource on the other capable enough to deal with heath and hygiene issues related to
WASH at the local level.
The municipality has initiated to develop a revised WESHI plan, (WASH coordinated plan)
incorporating the development need of the municipality and the plan as well as budget of the
development partner organizations working in the WASH field within the municipality. Regarding
the adaptation of WESHI plan by the municipality and integrating it into the municipality’s planning
process, municipality has organized a one day coordination workshop in partnership with Lumanti
with support of Citizen Forum, with all the sector stakeholders of the municipality. Based on the
decision made at the one day coordination workshop conducted by Itahari Muncipality in
partnership with Lumanti with support of Citizen Forum, with all the sector stakeholders of the
municipality has conducted household data and it is under processing for the development of
WASH coordinated plan.

C. Changes in Project Background, Design & Risk Management (refer to Project Plan –
Sections 1, 4 & 8):
Additional cluster for WASH service
As per the project plan, the total planned number of household latrine construction for the
2009/2010 was 170. However, after the demand received from the local community through Water
and Sanitation User’s Committee of ward no 6, number of household latrines constructed in ward
no 6 is 147 (including one disable friendly latrine at Balgram). After the consultation with the
municipality regarding the remaining 23 household latrines, the municipality has recommended to
work in a new cluster in ward no. 6.
Shiva Parvati Tole of ward no 6 is the new cluster recommended by Itahari Municipality for the
construction of household latrines. Shiva Parvati Tole has been recommended on the basis of the
demand letter from the tole itself requesting for the construction of household latrines in the cluster.
Shiva Parvati Tole has 91 households in total. It has a total population of 594 out of which 289 are
female and 296 are male. There are 9 disable male members in the cluster.
Majority of the cluster members earn their living as day labors in different sectors such as factory,
transportation, agriculture etc.
There is formation of Tole Bikash Samitee (Cluster Development Committee). The Tole Bikash
Samitee is found involved in saving and credit activities in the cluster in support of Itahari
municipality. In order to explore and strengthen their livelihood alternatives, it seems appropriate to
work in close coordination with municipality and committee itself.
The major source of drinking water in the cluster is found to be dug tube wells. A total of 74 families
have their own tube wells in the cluster. Though there is the availability of piped drinking water, no
household has connected the water pipeline. Majority of the families use drinking water as it
comes from the sources, however, some of them claim of boiling water before use particularly
when there are cases of diarrhea during monsoon.
There are 69 families owning pit latrines. Rest of the families either go for open defecation in
nearby bushes or use neighboring latrines. There are no public toilets being used by the cluster.
Families show interest to build toilets if they have support.
There is no proper waste management system in the cluster. Families throw away household
wastes in an unmanaged way. There is no proper management for wastewater as well. It seems
appropriate to arrange effective drainage with provision of sanitation awareness raising events in
the cluster.
After the approval from the municipality for the implementation of construction works in Shiva
Parvati Tole, Lumanti Team visited the working site for necessary procedure. Water and Sanitation
User’s Committee has been formed for the implementation of the construction activities which has
also opened a separate bank account in the local bank at Itahari. As practiced, procurement and
material management has been done in coordination with Water and Sanitation Users Coordinating
Committee (UCC) of ward no 6.

E. Partnership (refer to Project Plan – Sections 5)
A new partnership with District Health Office and Primary Health Centre for Community Health
focused activities has definitely helped in programme implementation and ownership. Technical
support during a health camp on Reproductive Health & Menstrual Hygiene by providing Senior
AHW has become beneficial for the community people. Further coordination for FREE SURGERY
through government quota, especially for poor and marginalized women, for identified third degree
prolapse in some women from the community is under process.
A community based organization (CBO) has been formed with the involvement of active members
of the UC, UCC and 4 CHMs as a local implementing partner. Lumanti Itahari team has been
gradually making their involvement in WASH activities.
46
Though members of Yuva Paailaa are partly engaged for hygiene promotion activities in the
community, their involvement is not as expected. It might be due to their domestic schedules. As
expected earlier they have not been able to allocate their time for WASH related activities.
A new partnership with Water & Sanitation Division Office, Itahari, Sunsari is initiated. The Division
office has assigned its staff for Lumanti's ODF campaign for the sanitation awareness activities.
Towards further WASH related activites, sanitation support from Water & Sanitation Division Office,
Itahari, Sunsari for the next fiscal year is expected. However, formal dialogue for the same is yet to
be done. Partnership with such government organizations definitely helps in programme
implementation and ownership; however, due to the slow and traditional working modality of the
government system, timely achievement of planned activities is very challenging.
A recently registered Sangini Women Saving & Credit Cooperative Limited could be one of the
better partners for WASH related activities in the community. Initial plan to incorporate the
Cooperative has been made and discussed with the executive members. Linkage of activities such
as financial support for community through soft loan for water and sanitation facilities, hygiene

Citizen Forum requested technical
support for developing WaSH strategic
plan and also requested for the
guidelines.
CBME in communities must be initiated
in the initiation of the project.
Mechanism should be adopted to
make the CBME an obligatory process.
Social mobilization should be more
intensive.
Field staff should support the
community, UC’s for filling CBME form
until they felt easier to fill it.
CHV’s needs to give more support to
community people to improve H&H
condition. They need to provide the
actual information by doing RCS to
make them change their behavior.
Certain activites like public hearing on
water quality and management of
Mangad WSS needs revision, as there
has been substansive improvement
seen now.
Few activities need to be replanned
along with budget revision
Frequent communication and support
from MIS officer is needed to avoid
data mismatch.
A standard format should be
developed to make data entry easier.
More accounts keeping support is
needed in Biratnagar
Financial guidelines and policies
should be followed carefully during
financial transactions.
Financial system and vouchers were
checked and suggested for further
improvement. In Itahari financial
system found more systematic.
Further support for smooth function is
needed in both cities.

Keeping in mind the commitment of
Citizen Concern Forums’ dedication in
influencing and the busy schedule,
some eligible executive members
should be added in the Forum for
active involvement in the programme.
For the implementation of the
programme, Citizen Concern Forum as
an advisory group should form its
subcommittee to implement the
programme.
Both Citizen Concern Forum and
Lumanti need more homework to be
done for the sustainability of Citizen
Forum after Lumanti’s programme
phase out.
Plan of action should be strictly
followed to complete the planned
activities within time frame.
The problems, issues should be solved
immediately and should share with
immediate line managers/coordinators,
if assistance is needed.
Harmony, team work and self respect
should be maintained between every

Mr. Dibesh Sayami, CIUD suggested
to go to community with a feeling, what
we can give to the community rather
not what we'll get from them. This
feeling will lead to the success of the
programme and helps gain trust
among the community people.
RCS should be applied to trigger the
community about the H&H situation.
CBME system should be followed by
every community for transparency,
accountability, to show the
responsibility and ultimately for the
sustainability. Lumanti staff should
seriously mobilize their staffs for
support and its functioning.
Partners should focus on project plan
and mainly on key deliverables part.

In case of the issue of pipeline
connection in Malangbaba, Small
Town office should also show some
softness with community people, so
that both party be in win-win situation.
With the learning from Malangbaba,
Small Town office should develop the
law and policy, such that such issues
can be dealt easily in the future.
Municipality should provide alternative
site for the waste water treatment
plant.
Municipality should also support the
amount agreed in the MoU for the
integrated project.
Citizen Forum should prepare three
year WaSH advocacy strategic paper.
The networking of Citizen Forum
(Advocacy & Influencing groups) could
be the next foot step to advocate and
influence the WaSH rights not only in
local level but also in city and national
level.
Citizen Forum can play a vital role to
boost up Local government to prepare
a detail plan of the municipality like
WESHI plan with full ownership, so
that the donor agencies and other
organizations can easily invest in the
development works.
Forming different subcommittee with
active members based on the area
occupied will be beneficial for easy
implementation of WSP.

G.3. Other Key PME Activities (as appropriate):
Involvement in Local government planning process and its key observations
Sunsari District is planning to declare Open Defecation Free Zone and for the same Water and
Sanitation Division Office at Itahari has been developing Sanitation Master Plan in coordination
with different stakeholders, I/NGOs, CBOs and local governing bodies in the municipalities and
VDCs. Lumanti, as one of the stakeholders working in the sector of water and sanitation in Itahari
Municipality has joined hands together for the development of Sanitation Master Plan as a
member of the sub-committee for the same.
Likewise, Itahari municipality is also developing a Coordinated Water, Environmental Sanitation
and Hygiene Improvement (WESHI) Plan. The municipality has conducted a workshop in huge
participation of all stakeholders, government agencies, I/NGOs and CBOs working in the sector of
water, sanitation and hygiene in Itahari where a committee has been formed to develop a
Coordinated WESHI Plan. Lumanti is one of the key members of the committee.
As decided in the said workshop, Itahari municipality has recently completed its household survey
with the support from Tole Lane Organizations. Revised data of Itahari Municipality along with the
coordinated WESHI Plan is expected at the earliest.
52
Community Base M&E and its key observations
CBME system has been established and institutionalized in some Users Committees of the
targeted 19 communities with the support from social mobilisers and community development
workers. The UCs is transparent in their working procedure. The system collection of quotations
and selection as per the financial merits and provision provided is in place. The major challenge
posed in this case, is sudden price hikes of the materials, in which the UCs have to be
accountable to the community. This might bring confusion in terms of agreement with the
contracted hardware and might bring dispute in working of the UCs.
Rapid Convenient Surveys or other tools, and their key observations
RCS of all targeted 19 communities has been conducted. The result shows improving picture of
health and hygiene attitudes. Most of the parameters of the RCS show improved results when
compared with the initial RCS report. People in the communities have raised consciousness
regarding the issue of personal sanitation. They have adopted 4 key health messages and the
percentage of the people using cleaning agents at critical times has increased in these days.
People of targeted communities of ward no 6, 7, 8 now own latrine and have habit of using such
latrines and keeping them clean. Some people in Purba Mushari, Dinabhadri and Tengra are
exceptional. More awareness campaigns and activities are felt necessary in these communities. A
constant follow-ups and monitoring should be done at the community level in. This requires
monitoring and follow-ups from the CHVs/CHMs. Also, the involvement of recently registered
Sangini Women Saving & Credit Cooperative Limited in monitoring of such monitoring process
can be beneficial.

Direct Benificiaries but Later the definition of Direct Benificiaries was strictly defined to be the one
with access through Service Delivery,Hence Such Benificiary planned couldnot be achieved
Sanitation:
Additional 6 toilets were constructed to address the community demand for ODF and hence 206
toilets were constructed which resulted higher number of benificiary
One public latrine was installed at the Shiva Parvati temple in Shiva Parvati tole in Ward to support
ODF which had 300 benificiary
One institutional latrine was constructed TLO Building of Balgram Tole in Ward 6

B. Executive Summary:
Biratnagar Sub-Metropolitan City is selected as the programme area as the municipality has very less
sanitation coverage with more than 40% of the selected HH practicing open defecation. Although the
water coverage of the selected communities are quite high with more than 70% HH having their
private hand-pumps to extract groundwater, the quality of groundwater being extracted and hygiene
is not up to standard. As the situation of water, sanitation and hygiene is very poor in the selected
communities, people of these communities are highly prone to water borne, water based and water
washed diseases.
In this year (20010/11) project is being implemented in 10 poor and excluded slum & squatters of
wards 18 and 22. The integrated WASH project was implemented in the following communities:

Laxmi Narayan Tole (ward 16), Basta (Ward 5), Swayambhu Tole and Shiva Tole (ward 18). Also, in
this year new technology was introduced by construction of school latrine with incinerator which is a
step towards piloting in menstrual hygiene at school level. Also, other 2 school latrines were
constructed and 1 school latrine was renovated in this year.
Concept of Water Safety Plan (WSP) in stand-alone water points was piloted. The WSP included
rehabilitation of water points and orientation to users regarding safeguarding water at all levels: from
source to point of use. However, the WSP could not be effectively institutionalized at the community
level. In this year, 414 water points were rehabilitated and 18 new water points were installed.
This year also saw some newer approaches in programme intervention: formation of Sanitation
Groups, Graded subsidy in service delivery, provision of collecting O&M fund in construction of public
water structures, link of caretaker to S&C groups through UCs for access to O&M fund are some to
name.
Also, in the sector of Citizen’s Action remarkable achievements were seen in this year. In this fiscal
year the governance and service delivery of sector stakeholders have comparatively improved than in
the previous years. The Municipality has drafted policies on supporting community based Water
Supply Schemes and improving School Sanitation- addressing the gaps as identified and lobbied by
the Citizen’s Action Forum in Biratnagar.
C. Project Approach
The project is designed based on the following approaches.

Coordinated Plan (WESI Plan): Currently, the challenge in urban areas is to increase the
accessibility of water and environmental sanitation facilities through a holistic concept of
integrated planning for enhancing access to poor and vulnerable urban communities to safe
water, affordable sanitation, improved neighborhood environment coupled with hygiene
education and increased understanding of community to ensure usage and sustained hygiene
behavior. In addressing the above mentioned issues, a comprehensive “WESI plan” approach
has been adopted for addressing the WASH sector issues and challenges. In addition this
plan aims to deliver the services in a coordinated way under the need base concept within the
municipality. This plan is normally prepared in consultation with the local sector stakeholders
including municipality with an involvement of excluded and deprived community in terms of
economic as well as WASH facilities aspect. Once WESI plan is prepared, it is promoted as a
municipality plan with their ownership so that all the sector players at local municipal level will
be aligned and mainstreamed gradually to work as guided by the WESI plan. It is expected
that municipality will include the WESI plan issues in its planning process and gradually
adopted it as a component of municipality's multiyear WASH project. This WESI plan helps to
guide and mainstream all the actors and service providers within WASH sector in Municipal
level. The WESI Plan focuses on integrated approach of service delivery and capacity building
under holistic concept within water and sanitation sector; and to have cross-sector linkage by
linking cross cutting issues of development.

Equity (social inclusion) and Gender: Equity and gender are incorporated in this project.
This in practice focus on empowerment of marginalized women along with men for getting
access in water, sanitation, hygiene and livelihoods. Socially marginalized groups especially
women, as well as differently able groups views are given due consideration in the planning an
91
implementation of the project. This in practice includes women and differently able people in
UC (Users committee). The approach ensures that women and members of the excluded
groups are proportionally represented in all community institutions and they also represent in
decision making positions.
Similarly in delivering services, equity and inclusion is
incorporated.

Mobilization of saving & Credit groups: Groups of women will be mobilized with minimal
support to help them to contribute in the WASH sector by mobilizing loan for households within
the community to speed up WaSH activities of the projects. A cooperative will be established
mobilizing the saving and credit groups in the municipality. The cooperative/s thus established
will then flow loans in minimum interest rates to the poor and marginalized people in the
community for improving their livelihood. The WASH project will provide technical supports to
the cooperative by building up their capacity and directing them on linking the cooperative with
livelihood with special focus on WASH. The established cooperative will develop its linkage
with the municipality and other cooperatives to generate fund for the cooperative to flow loan.

Focus on Health, Hygiene and Sanitation: Health and Hygiene education in each ward will
be looked over by the Health and Hygiene coordinator of Lumanti. The locally recruited and
trained CHM and CHV’s will be responsible to promote health and hygiene behavior at the
community level. Linkage with the sector stakeholders such as GO and I/NGO or other will be
given emphasis in the programme wherever possible.
Apart from training and orientations, various different activities will be adopted to spread the
hygiene message effectively in the community. Activities will include education sessions,
cultural activities like street drama and cleanup campaign, mass awareness rally, art
competition, health camps, wall paintings, visibility boards with key message etc. Behavior
change will be the major focus of health and hygiene education activities. Sanitation will be
promoted with total sanitation concept with focus on community sanitation outcomes i.e.
initiations to achieve total sanitation by declaring open defecation communities. Health and
Hygiene activities will be integrated with water and sanitation programme to maximize the
benefits. Attention will be given on special sanitation need of adolescent girls, women and
other differently able people within the communities.

Collaborative Approach: Lumanti is working in partnership with the municipality (local self
government) and the community. In addition, Lumanti works in close coordination with TLO,
political representatives, service providers, district offices of sector agencies, civil societies etc
at the municipal and district level. These stakeholders are included in different discussion
forum/meeting/activities for sharing and finding the better way out in providing access to water
and sanitation. All the development activities carried in the communities through Lumanti are
endorsed by Project Management Committee (representation of municipality, political
representatives and concerned stakeholders) and PIC (Programme Implementation
Committee). Field level issues are shared and decisions are made by building common
consensus through PIC. This committee includes municipality, TLO, Lumanti and Users
coordination committee (UCC), NWSC and sector stakeholders. Lumanti works in partnership
with the municipality (local self government), and communities. Similarly, Lumanti also works
in close coordination with TLO, political representatives, service providers, district offices of
sector agencies, civil societies etc at the municipal and district level to better plan water and
sanitation to address WASH needs of the poor and vulnerable communities within the
municipality.
92

Advocacy and Influencing: Citizen’s Action for making the citizens to understand their water
and sanitation situation to make them engaged to make service providers and government
agencies more responsible and accountable towards their service delivery mechanisms.
Lumanti believes that, Citizen Forum in a period of time will have developed their skills,
knowledge and powers to influence the policies and practices.
The programme also aims on minimizing the sector blockage issues and WATSAN
governance issues by materializing the WESI Plan as well as recommendations made by
RCT 2 under Citizen’s Action programme for influencing the sector agencies at local level,
particularly at municipal level through this approach.
The approach will promote WESI plan by making efforts to mainstream the plan into the
Municipal level planning process as a sector plan of the Municipality.
The programme also aims to lobby local government bodies and service providers to influence
the change in governance. Lumanti will support Citizen’s Forum to develop good functional
relationships with these actors for its influencing activities by building trust among Lumanti and
its allies and the responsible institution and officials to understand the issue from the
perspective of people suffering from it.


Linking with slum upgrading: In the few poor communities in BSMC, Lumanti and BSMC
has signed an agreement to introduce ACCA slum upgrading project in the leadership of the
community leaders. This project highlights on housing and small scale infrastructure projects
of the communities' choice, which ultimately turn out to be sanitation and environmental
sanitation. The WASH project will make link with ACCA project to support and share learning
and experience. ACCA is conducting slum up-gradation project in one urban poor community
of ward no 15 and five urban poor communities of ward no. 1. The project will be implemented
through Integrated Community Development Forum (ICDF) with support of cooperatives
(Samjhana cooperative and Samridhi cooperative) established by Lumanti in support of WAN.
As the financial aspect of the ACCA project will be handled by Cooperative, the cooperatives
will be more strengthened financially as well as technically and hence loan flow in WATSAN
infrastructure will be more effective. Also, as ICDF will be solely the implementing partner of
Lumanti in conducting ACCA project, the capacity of ICDF will also be strengthened which will
ultimately help WATSAN programme in monitoring phase.
Sustainability Approach:
To contribute to the sustainability of the project, a number of approaches will be adopted during
and after the project implementation to ensure that the target communities benefit from the
project.
i. Community Mobilization: The engagement of the community in the programme activities is
one of the major approaches of Lumanti to implement WASH programme. This will ensure
strong participation and ownership of community in the hardware and software part of WASH
project. The community is mobilized by helping them forming different groups such as Users
Committee, Users Coordination Committee, Child Groups and Saving & Credit Groups and
Cooperatives. Capacity building of the community leaders, raising awareness and improving
education of the community representatives is one of the major parts of the WASH intervention.
The CLTS approach followed by Lumanti will not only focus on construction of toilet facility but
on achieving and sustaining No Open Defecation (NOD) environment in the community. In this
connection, Lumanti will also mobilize its programme encouraging the community members for
implementing the programme from the community.

Report Card Testing
93
ii. Community Based Management and Evaluation: Water Aid and Lumanti have developed
community based management and evaluation tools which enable the community to monitor the
progress towards project objectives and targets set. Engagement of the community in the
process ensures that community takes increased responsibility for the achievement of these
actions, as well as increasing the transparency and accountability of the UC. This is achieved by
completing a number of charts which can be displayed and completed at community meetings.
The chart contains information on financial status of the project, outputs achieved and
community members’ satisfaction with the project progress.
iii. Operation and Maintenance: To support the O&M of water and sanitation facilities constructed
in the project, the UCC and UC will receive trainings on O&M approaches. The UC will also be
trained to collect and use the collected O&M fund as revolving loan fund in a cost recovery basis
for WATSAN infrastructure construction and maintenance or livelihood support of the community
people.
iv. Follow-up Support: Lumanti will provide support to the community institutions for two years
after the completion of the project implementation period. The follow up support is to ensure the
smooth operation of the system.
v. Cost Sharing approach: Lumanti will make efforts to mobilize local contribution from
beneficiaries as well as other stakeholders and partners (including the local government) to
ensure ownership of the outputs and the process by the community. The amount of local
contribution and mechanisms for collecting and utilizing this contribution will be determined
thorough consultation. This will develop the ownership of local bodies towards the project during
and after the completion of the project as well thereby reducing their dependency on donors.
vi. Demand Based Approach: Lumanti adopts demand driven approaches for improved efficiency
and equity of WASH services while ensuring benefits for those who are currently deprived of
water and sanitation. Similarly, the programme gives high priority to the ability and willingness of
the community and the local people to contribute for the effective implementation of the project
and its operation and maintenance for its long term sustainability.

E. Partnership
i) Changes to existing key stakeholders and their roles
Lumanti always seeks participation and support from diverse stakeholders’ participation. In Bi WaSH
project, diverse stakeholders are actively participating. Mainly, Municipality (social, environment and
health department), Cooperatives, Citizen Forum, ICDF and users committees are actively
participating. Roles, responsibilities and participation of ICDF and Cooperatives are more intensified.
Now, ICDF are not limited to water quality check only, they are involved in every activities, meetings
and decision makings. ICDF is also implementing small scale programme under Asian coalition for
community action (ACCA) programme. This small scale programme includes WASH programme
through community participation. From the beginning of the fiscal year 2010/11, they are involved in
the programme. Similarly, Cooperatives are also involved from the beginning of the project. They are
also not limited to financial transaction. Lumanti and Cooperatives have signed agreement to conduct
series of activities.
ii) New collaborations, partnerships or stakeholders
Collaboration has been sought with District Health Office. Similarly effort has been made to work in
collaboration with Seam-n, NWSC, and other relevant stakeholders as required. DHO is now actively
participating in trainings and programmes.
iii) Challenges to partnerships
Diverse interest, approach and limitations of the stakeholders make the partnership not as strong as
envisioned. There is an opportunity to play role to bring all the partners into one basket with one
approach and goal. However, there is opportunity for lobbying, networking to strengthen the
partnership.

Key Feedbacks Received
(if any)
Field staff should support the
community, UC’s for filling CBME form
until they felt easier to fill it.
CHV’s needs to give more support to
community people to improve H&H
condition. They need to provide the
actual information by doing RCS to
make them change their behavior.
Certain activites like public hearing on
water quality and management of
Mangad WSS needs revision, as there
has been substansive improvement
seen now.
Few activities need to be replanned
along with budget revision
Frequent communication and support
from MIS officer is needed to avoid data
mismatch.
A standard format should be developed
to make data entry easier.
More accounts keeping support is
needed in Biratnagar
Financial guidelines and policies should
be followed carefully during financial
transactions.
Financial system and vouchers were
checked and suggested for further
improvement. In Itahari financial system
found more systematic. Further support
for smooth function is needed in both
cities.

Reports, documents should be managed

Citizen forum was found passive and not
clear in their role & responsibilities. A
meeting was planned to clarify and
develop clear Action Plan
Keeping in mind the commitment of
Citizen Concern Forums’ dedication in
influencing and the busy schedule,
some eligible executive members should
be added in the Forum for active
involvement in the programme.
For the implementation of the
programme, Citizen Concern Forum as
an advisory group should form its
subcommittee to implement the
programme.
Both Citizen Concern Forum and
Lumanti need more homework to be
done for the sustainability of Citizen
Forum after Lumanti’s programme
phase out.
Plan of action should be strictly followed
to complete the planned activities within
time frame.
The problems, issues should be solved
immediately and should share with
immediate line managers/coordinators, if
assistance is needed.

The tube wells shouldn’t be used for
about a week once it is fixed to avoid

The data should be updated when
needed to avoid mismatch.
The data should be managed in the
standard format, such that it will be
easier for entry and understandable.
Water should be tested at least two
times every year to be assured on the
quality of the water being consumed as
it directly deals with health of the
consumer.
Purification options like SODIS, filter,
chlorination etc. should bring into
practice for safety.
If principle HR contaminant such as
microbiological contamination, arsenic,
nitrate and flouride was found out of
national standard, purification method
should be applied otherwise avoided
immediately for drinking purpose.
Information dissemination, record

G.3 Other PME Activities
 Project/Sub – project detail surveys and its key observations
a) Graded Subsidy and its implication
This fiscal year (2010/11), a new approach ‘graded subsidy’ in water was introduced in wards 18
and 22. In this approach families are divided into 3 categories Poorest, poor and medium and
subsidy is different for each category. For the effective implementation of the approach,
agreement was done among Municipality, Lumanti and UC of each community. UC actively
involved in implementing the approach. Owing to the implementation of graded subsidy in the
communities there has been increase in financial contribution in the communities and as a result
the numbers of water and sanitation structures constructed exceeded the planned numbers. The
implication of graded subsidy has aided in extending the access of the water and sanitation
facilities beyond the budget of the project.
b) Community Based Monitoring and Evaluation (CBME)
This year CBME chart was modified so that it was easy to hang on the wall of community. Six sets
of CBME charts are filled up very well by the UC and CHMs. CBME training was conducted before
the construction and software programmes. Now CBME charts of each community, where
programme has commenced, have been filled and followed up very well. In the case of CBME
also, continuous follow up and help from Lumanti team has been helpful to UCs.
c) Water Safety Plan in the community
Water Safety plan has been initiated in four communities. UCs, CHM and CHVs were trained in
developing water safety plan. They were provided ample time to make their own water safety plan
for each community. UCs from each community presented water safety plan. The important part is
community has understood the importance of water safety plan..
d) WASH information Center in the communities
This fiscal year, we introduced the concept of information center in each community so that
everyone in the community have access to WASH information. Information center includes CBME
chart, Water Safety Plan and educational charts on clean drinking water, proper sanitation and
hygiene messages.
This center has brought community people together to learn on WASH issues. Moreover, CHM
and CHV find it easy to disseminate key messages on proper sanitation and hygiene.
e) Child club and hygiene promotion
Child Clubs from Mahato (ward 18), Ghoga Hansamukhi(ward 18), Siv tole (ward 18) and Gafur
tole(ward 22) are proactive. They have developed plans and proposal to improve their
communities. They organize meetings every Saturday and do the cleaning with the leadership of
CHM. In every 15 days, child club organize hand washing and nail cutting programme in the
community. They show drama collectively. There is good coordination between child clubs of
different communities.
112
f) Emerging role of Integrated Community Development Forum (ICDF)
In the beginning of second quarter, there has been agreement between ICDF and Lumanti
Biratngar for better partnership and involvement for effective implementation of WASH project in
Biratnagar. From second quarter, certain activities are handed over to ICDF such as post
monitoring of 08/09 and 09/10 wards, initiation of water safety plan, institutionalizing CBME in the
community and water quality test with dissemination.
After ICDF's intervention, 97 superstructures have been completed in ward 19, 7, 5 and 16. The
ICDF has been active in assessing the condition of water and sanitation structures and providing
supports where required.
g) Water Quality test and dissemination
From this fiscal year, report card has been prepared for each water point tested. Report card is
distributed to each household in the community. Water Quality test result was disseminated to the
communities who showed concern to the substandard water quality of their water points. Water
quality test result has done wonders in raising awareness among community people. Test was
done in front of community people; they were really surprised to know sub standard quality of their
water.
h) Role of Citizen Forum in promoting WASH issues in municipal level
Citizen forum has been successful in getting recognition by the local government and sector
stakeholders. Sectors stakeholders, local government (Municipality and DDC) and media actively
and continuously participate in the interaction programmes organized by citizen forum.
Municipality has allocated more budgets in sanitation and water than last fiscal year.
Lumanti's intervention in Biratnagar Sub Metropolitan city has succeeded in raising awareness on
health and hygiene, community people have felt the need for toilets and continuously approaching
local government for access to sanitation.
i) Operation and Maintenance activities
O/M fund has been institutionalized and altogether caretakers in coordination with cooperative
maintained and repaired five hand pumps constructed in 08/09 and 09/10 fiscal years using this
fund.

- Project Name: Advocacy and Post Monitoring and Project Supports in Urban Hill
- Names of Sub-Projects (if applicable): Urban Hill
- Project Period:
- Name of Partner Organization: Lumanti Support Group for Shelter
- Partner Organization Number:
B. Executive Summary:
The advocacy, post monitoring and project supports in Urban Hill, in the year of 2010/11, focused on
providing project supports to previously intervened project areas of Kathmandu valley, subsequently
post monitoring supports and sustainability studies were carried out in Thecho, Khadipakha,
Narayantole, Kritipur and Madhyapur Thimi. In Madhyapur Thimi, advocacy programme was
implemented in partnership with Lyaymha Pucha.
The post monitoring of the Urban Hill in above mentioned project areas ensured that the Water and
Sanitation infrastructures sustained and improved hygiene behavior of the people persisted. In
Narayantole and Khadipakha, by assessing the behavior of people to manage human excreta and
persistence in adoption of improved hygiene behavior, the two communities were declared as ODF
zones in initiation of communities themselves. Also, in Narayantole, the waste water treatment plant
functions effectively as shown by the recent BOD and COD test. In Thecho, the women’s cooperative
carried out the programme by making follow-ups in construction of latrines and routinely conducting
orientation on better health and hygiene behavior. In Thecho, a public space has been constructed in
the space where open defecation was practiced earlier; this has helped in eradicating the behavior of
people in defecating at that place and also the risk of contaminating the nearby water source has
been minimized. Also, the number of people taking loans from the cooperative for construction of
household latrines is increasing; in this year 35 additional people have taken loans for the
construction of latrines.

> The crafted message should be
simple, unexpected, concrete,
credible, emotional and story
driven (SUCCES).
> It is not necessary to give all the
information in advocacy.
> Hon. MP Sapana Malla
Pradhan suggested documenting

annually from 2010/11
A post monitoring study is done in Thecho,
Naikap and Tokha.
The study shows that in Thecho the water
sources installed/rehabilitated in the project
period are in use. In one water source, a risk of
contamination owing to open defecation was
seen which has been addressed by initiating
construction of a public space, a small park, to
discourage open defecation. In Naikap, the study
showed that the water supply system installed
previously requires upgrading owing to increased
demand. Efforts were made to coordinate with
the VDC and the Users for assessing their
contribution for the upgrading the system system
but no achievements were made due to lack of
interest in UCs. In Tokha, the an Isolated Water
Supply System has been initiated in coordination
among UN-Habitat, Lumanti, KUKL and VDC.
