Chapter 1 Introduction
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania (hereinafter referred to as “the Government of
Tanzania”), sets the development of rural water supply as direct strategy for the poverty reduction, and
makes a political target by revised National Water Policy (2002), and National Strategy for Growth
and Reduction of Poverty (2005 - 2010).
According to the Policy, the government target is for “every person should get water within 400 meters
distance by 2025”. Furthermore, as a reform of the operation system of the water supply projects, the
measures consisting 1) community-owned management of the scheme, 2) participation of private
sector organizations for the operation and maintenance of the scheme, 3) integrate water supply into
the strategy for national hygiene promotion, 4) strengthening decentralized planning, project
implementation and management through local government are promoting. Under the policy, the
Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MoWI) has been trying the strengthening of the implementing
system of water supply services.
Based on the Policy, the MoWI has finalized preparation of the National Water Sector Development
Strategy (NWSDS), for implementing National Water Policy and National Strategy for Growth and
Reduction of Poverty (2003). Following preparation of the Strategy, the Ministry has launched a
Water Sector Development Programme (WSDP) in February 2007, in order to realize these policy and
strategy. The Programme is designed under Sector Wide Approach to Planning (SWAp) to address
shortfalls in urban and rural water supply infrastructure, to improve water resource management
primarily through upgrading the country’s nine Basin Water Offices (BWOs), and to strengthen the
sector institutions and their capacities.
Under the WSDP, the government has started devolving their rights of administrative services for
water supply to the district level. The capacity building and training, therefore, is an important
component of this new approach. Under such circumstance, the Government of Tanzania requested
the Government of Japan to implement the technical cooperation project, in order to strengthen the
capacities and system for implementation, operation and maintenance of the rural water supply in the
target districts.
In response to the request of the Government of Tanzania for the technical cooperation of the Rural
Water Supply and Sanitation Capacity Development (RUWASA-CAD) Project, the Government of
Japan decided to conduct the Project in accordance with the Minutes of Meeting and the Record of
Discussion agreed upon between MoWI and Ministry of Finance, and Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA), the official agency responsible for the implementation of the technical cooperation
programs of the Government of Japan.
The project commenced in September 2007, and scheduled to complete on July 2010. This is the Final
Report which discusses all the activities and results of the five (5) project steps of Work in Japan,
Work in Tanzania I, II, III and IV.

Chapter 2 Project Contents and Methodology
On September 2007, the Project was started by the Japanese Experts with two Tanzanian
counterpart personnel. The MoWI increased the number of counterpart personnel, responding to
the request from the Project. The increased counterpart personnel are including the stuff from
other division such as WRD (Water Resources Division) and DAHR (Division of Administration
and Human Resources). Consequently, since June 2008, although some of staffs are transferred,
constantly four or five counterpart personnel have been participating to the Project. As shown in
Table 2.4, at the termination phase of the project, four counterpart personnel of Ms. Kirenga D.A.T
and Ms. Neema Siarra from CWSD, Ms. Diana Kimbute from WRD, Ms. Flora W. Mlege from
DAHR are remained as the project counterpart personnel. Among those personnel, Ms. Kirenga
D.A.T has been participating to the Project through the entire project period.

3.3.1 INTRODUCTION
As a part of the works in the preparatory phase of the project, the baseline survey was conducted by
a local consultant from October to November 2007, in order to obtain baseline data on the present
conditions of provision of rural water supply and the capacity status of local authorities, especially
DWSTs, in terms of organisation, knowledge and skills, institutional linkages and working tools.
3-6
Chapter 3 Output 1: Enhancement of CWSD’s Capacity
The survey was also meant to collect data and information to be used for assessment of the capacity
gap and training needs of DWSTs which will form a basis for capacity building interventions.

activities thus, sparing insufficient time for water and sanitation activities. It was generally
observed that in most districts DWSTs meet seldom and on ad hoc basis.
Implementation of WSS responsibilities now tend to rest primarily with the DWE. More effort
is required to actively engage the other members of the DWST so that the sanitation, hygiene
promotion, and community development components of the project receive their due share of
attention.
The DWEs are often occupied with district related administrative issues to the point that it
becomes difficult for them to adequately supervise and coordinate project activities.
(2) Process of Planning and Implementation of RWSS Projects by DWST
In practice all districts in Tanzania are expected to prepare the DWSP according to the
RWSSP/WSDP. It appears that all districts have development plans, prepared in accordance
with criteria and guidelines that vary considerably. The District Development Plans (DDPs)
typically include RWSS plans, which tend to focus more on construction and installation of
facilities than on the “soft” side of RWSS, such as problem analysis and training. Moreover,
these plans do not consider at all O&M activities. Each year districts plans for new construction
without taking into account follow up support plans to communities.
Few of the districts in the surveyed area have not prepared their DWSPs mostly due to limited
capacity. Similarly most of the districts have not established District Water and Sanitation Fund
(DWSF). The absence of sufficiently comprehensive District Water and Sanitation Plans
(DWSPs) and associated financing plans complicate the approval and disbursement process.
This justifies the idea of strengthening the capacity of all districts to develop their district water
and sanitation plans and associated financing plans, in line with the steps of the community WSS
project cycle. The DWSPs should be incorporated into the overall district development plan.
The number of RWSS subprojects approved and implemented is not significant due to insufficient
funding over the last three years. The only funding which was made available to all districts at
the time of the baseline survey is for the quick-wins projects.
(3) Operation and Maintenance
The common form of O&M management in nearly all schemes in the districts is a Village Water
Committee (VWC). This is the traditional O&M management structure which has no legal
recognition but operates under the social services sub-committee of the Village Council. There
are few schemes which had instituted a legal entity system to take up the O&M management
function. There are about 16 registered Water Users Entities (WUEs) in the target districts: Ilala
(1), Temeke (11), Kibaha (1), Kilwa (1) and Mtwara (2).
While water committees are normally trained during project implementation, no follow-up or
additional training are provided by the districts. When the community members who had been
trained have either left the village, been deceased or are no longer active in the committee, the
community selects new committee members by election.
Several guidelines and manuals are available at DWE’s office but not all members of the DWST
have access to them, and as such it appears that they do not regularly make use of them as a
source of reference for their work. O&M issues are partially addressed during the subproject
implementation, but the survey teams were unable to trace any actual O&M guidelines or
manuals in villages where sub-projects have been completed. Moreover, O&M follow up
support activities are not included in the district plans.

3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
In the preparatory phase, the training plan of was formulated. The training plan is the basis of the
training curriculum to be used by the each training courses of the project. Figure 3.5 shows the
orientation of the formulation of the training plan and curriculum, in the flow of RUWASA-CAD
project.
As the results of the Baseline Survey, 1) baseline data of rural water supply and sanitation
conditions, 2) capacities of the organizations such as DWST and District Water Engineer Office, and
3) training needs of the LGA officials are analysed. The matrix on task analysis was reviewed
through the study on the existing RWSSP cycle and activities. By integrating outputs from various
project activities, a Capacity Development Strategy of the RUWASA-CAD was formulated.

Module coverage shows the clear interface between activities of RWSS project cycle and modules.
This indicates that training modules are strongly associated with actual activities necessary for
RWSSP and very useful tools for capacity development interventions in stakeholders of RWSSP.
The intensity of modules by categorizing “well covered”, “moderately covered” and “not covered”
is illustrated with different colours in the module coverage. It is obvious that most of components
identified in the new RWSS project cycle are covered by either single training module or plural
training modules, depending on the task allocation of stakeholders.

Further elaboration was done in the Work in Tanzania III based on the observations on application
of these modules in four training phases. Composition of the training modules were reorganized
by categorizing different modules according to the main themes which would help the users identify
structure and relation of these modules. New modules were also developed for some themes such
as operation and maintenance, sanitation and hygiene promotion and capacity development with
considering its necessity raised through four training phases. The Table 4.4 below shows the
structure of the second revised version of the training modules for DWST.

Training sessions are basically derived from main topics of the training phases described in the
training plan while specific objectives are stipulated from training modules incorporated. These
processes are rather methodical. It, however, needs a sort of skills and experiences for training
planners to set up the contents of sessions which are relevant and logically feasible under the course
objectives.

Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
This training was organized directly by MoWI in collaboration with the RUWASA-CAD and was
facilitated jointly for DWST and RWST by Mr. Deo Binamungu (Achrid Ltd). This training had
the following major goals:
(i) To verify the baseline data on RWSS coverage in the target districts and regions as presented in the
Baseline Survey Report;
(ii) To establish a common picture of the existing organizational and human resources capacities of
District Water and Sanitation Teams (DWSTs) in RWSS planning and management;
(iii) To identify crucial factors for consideration in planning water supply projects; and
(iv) To define performance monitoring indicators for measuring improved management capacity of DWSTs
and RWSTs.
The training was conducted in two places at two separate centres. The training firstly held from
11-15 February 2008 at the Dar es Salaam centre brought together 16 trainees from seven districts
and three municipalities of Coast and Dar es Salaam regions respectively. The second training at
Mtwara centre was held from 25-29 February 2008 and attended by 18 trainees from Lindi and
Mtwara regions. The trainees included 22 district/municipal water engineers and 3 members
(RWA, RMO, and RCDO) each from the Regional Water and Sanitation Teams (RWST) of Dar es
Salaam, Coast, Lindi and Mtwara regions.
4-10
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
Both training events were carried out in a participatory manner through which trainees had an
opportunity to share experiences from different districts and regions. A mix of methods and
techniques were used to generate dialogue among trainees. These included presentations of papers
on power point system, handouts, small group discussions, focus group discussions, pair buzzing1,
and rotational brainstorming.
In order to optimize discussion and collaboration, discussion groups were kept small – not more
than six people. Groups were frequently assigned different but related tasks. Plenary sessions,
which were organized after group discussions helped the trainees to share common understand on
issues and acquire further learning of new things. Some energizers were sporadically injected into
the learning process to ensure that trainees were always active and refreshed.
The following part highlights the overall key results and ideas that emerged from the training. Paper
presentations and the subsequent group and plenary discussions generated lots of ideas from the
trainees and below are some of the major insights.
(1) WSS Coverage and DWST Management Capacity of RWSS Projects
• Trainees admitted that most of the data on water supply and sanitation available in the
districts were fragmented and at times unreliable or outdated e.g. on population, WSS
coverage etc. Hence, there was a need under this project to ensure that an efficient system
for collecting, analyzing and managing RWSS data is established.
• The data on organizational capacity at the district level as presented in the baseline survey
report showed a real picture as most of the DWSTs were not functioning as a team e.g.
meetings were hardly convened and DWSPs were often prepared by the DWEs with minimal
or no consultation with other relevant sectors.
(2) Strategic Planning of Water Supply
• Trainees underscored the need to give high profile matters concerning water resources
assessment as this would be a key determinant for demand for water in a community. Thus,
they concurred with the proposal in the revised RWSSP Cycle that identification of water
resource potential should precede promotion/sensitization of communities on RWSSP.
• Furthermore trainees recognized the fact that districts had no required skills to carry out
water resources identification/assessment and hence it was imperative to link up with BWOs
in undertaking this activity. They also recommended strongly that the BWOs should
examine detailed water resources assessment results carried out by the TSPs.
• RWSTs and particularly RWAs should certicy the detailed designs worked out by the TSPs.
(3) Strengthening Role of DWSTs
• Districts should produce their DWSPs as the guiding vision for the investment of their funds
and funds from WSDP. O&M issues should be part of the DWSPs to ensure that
communities continue to access technical support from the DWSTs even after the completion
of the WSS facilities.
• There is an urgent need to build up a strong teamwork among DWST members. Such
teamwork requires DWST members to meet regularly, share information so that even if some
of the officials are transferred elsewhere, there could be continuity in the management of
RWSS projects in the district.
• Trainees recognized that in their day to day operations they hardly link up their individual
skill and the organization capacity. They underscored the need for this project to
1

Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
specifically focus on this aspect so that all district staff should share a common vision while
undertaking their responsibilities.
(4) Enhancing Strategic Linkages
• Linkages between DWSTs, RWSTs and BWOs should be strengthened through regular
communication. RWSTs should recognize that they have a mandate to provide technical
support to DWSTs e.g. in preparation of DWSPs, interpreting sector policies, monitoring
implementation of RWSS projects and capacity building.
• Roles and responsibilities should be adequately articulated both within the DWSTs and other
key players specifically RWSTs and BWOs. Such articulation should also imply areas of
relations among these players and mandates of each within the revised RWSSP Cycle. In
other words, trainees were calling upon an expanded sense of teamwork among all players in
RWSSP cycle.

This training was contracted to Water and Environmental Development Company (WEDECO)
Ltd with the following major goals:
4-12
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
(i) To improve application of the Demand Responsive Approach (DRA) in the project planning and
management by DWST with considering institutional, organizational, and socio-economic
conditions of each district.
(ii) To enhance understanding of the trainees on significance and effectiveness to maximize synergy
among DWST members for facilitation of RWSS projects.
The training was carried out for the DWST core members. These included four trainees from
each District, i.e. the District Water Engineer (DWE), The District Planning Officer (DPLO), the
District Health Officer (DHO) and the District community Development Officer, (DCDO).
The training took place at Ubungo Plaza in the Blue Pearl Hotel in Dar es Salaam and at the
Clinical Officers Training Centre (COTC) in Mtwara region. The training took place from 9th
June 2008 to 4th July 2008. The training lasted for five days each.
Both participatory information delivery methods were applied as much as possible to draw out
trainees own experiences and ideas about specific topics. Maximum interactions were made
through different facilitation techniques. The techniques included brainstorming, buzzing
discussions, card storming, case studies, demonstrations, live examples and plenary. As a back
up, different materials were used. These included handouts flipcharts; news prints Meta cards,
notebooks, pens, files, power point slides, and other relevant stationery and training aids.
The followings are the observations and findings, which were realized during the four trainings in
the Dar es Salaam and the Mtwara venues from sessions.
The trainees acknowledged the Government directive on demand responsive planning using the
O&OD approach. O&OD methodology was adopted as the official planning tool to planning of
the any development programme since it was realized that it was constitutional, although the
application of O&OD was limited because some districts had not been rolled out with the
methodology.
District Council used various approaches in the planning process, for example SWOT analysis,
PRA and PHAST. These tended to confuse the communities by having too many plans at a time
with inadequate fund to implement the plans.
Trainees identified the following points as hindering factors to utilize O&OD in an effective
manner.
• Plans without funding
Experience showed that the plans had not been reviewed and that most planned activities
were not yet implemented.
• Political interference
Another setback to RWSSP implementation was political interference, which led to low
revenue collection and negative attitudes of the communities towards O&OD on the other
hand the DWST were not used effectively.
It was observed that due to political interferences communities identified many projects and
that the plans were biased to certain sectors.
• Hygiene and sanitation
It was reported that water borne diseases, were rampant due to inadequate sanitation facilities
i.e. latrines and inadequate safe and clean water. Sanitation issues are not included in LGA
plans.
LGAs have separate plans for water under water department while the sanitation part is
under the health department.
4-13
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
2) Promoting Demand
There is no systematic strategy for promotion on RWSSP to the communities. O&OD, which is
the official planning tool to ensure DRA, is not yet practiced by DWSTs.
The DRA is still a new concept to members of DWSTs and therefore its use in the communities is
not widely accustomed by key players of development programmes. It may need longer time
that the level of understanding on DRA among stakeholders becomes profound enough to change
from top-down approach to bottom-up.
The access to RWSSP by the communities needs certain application procedures, which are
explained in PIM, to be followed by applicant themselves. This step aims to encourage
applicants to feel more involved in the commencement of the project, which would consequently
grow the ownership of the project among stakeholders. There, however, are various hindering
factors among communities identified during the discussion. They are as followed.
• Low awareness on the project
Communities feel that they do not have to apply for RWSSP because water is natural
resource, which is shared by many people. Therefore, they think that someone else will
take an action to develop this natural resource even for them. This sense of dependency
reduces significantly the level of responsibility to the communities. It results in occurrence
of low awareness on the project among communities and consequently creates a negative
spiral of awareness-application.
• Political interference
In some cases the local politicians have biased some communities towards filling in the
application forms because they would have liked certain communities to apply for the water
facilities and not others for political reasons. Local politicians look for popularity from
voters they tend to give false promises.
The information available for selection of communities in the districts and communities is
outdated. It is because there is no comprehensive information management system among
LGAs and Lower Local Government Authorities (LLGAs). Trainees realized that it was one of
DWSTs tasks to coordinate and make follow-up on use and updating of information. Besides,
MoWI was recommended to coordinate sector responsible ministries and consolidate the
information management system set differently in each sector.
Trainees understood that there were 2 different practices for planning water sector development
intervention at community level, namely village comprehensive development plans based on
O&OD approach and facility and management plan (FMP part A) to apply RWSSP. The former
is stipulated by PMO-RALG, while the latter by MoWI.
By assessing experiences addressed by trainees, 8 cases are generally observed in appraisal of
community proposals within 22 LGAs. They are summarized in the Table 4.9.

3 • O&OD gives priority to each sector development plan at communities. • Communities with water sector as first

According to the official procedures of RWSSP, securing DRA is indispensable for appraisal of
community development plan. Based on this idea, assessing above mentioned cases, there could
be only 3 cases which may secure DRA, case 1, 3 and 5 respectively.
Responding this result of discussion, trainees recommended the following points to MoWI.
• Policy dissemination to both LGAs and LLGAs about DRA
• Harmonization of outputs from O&OD and FMP

This training was contracted to Water and Environmental Development Company (WEDECO)
Ltd and facilitated jointly for DWST and RWST with the following major goals:
(i) To equip knowledge and skills for the strategic planning of rural water supply with considering
sustainability of water resources in the target area and management by the Community-Owned
Water Supply Organization (COWSO)
The training was carried out jointly for DWE and RWA only since the training objective covered
technical aspects as water resources management of water supply planning.
The training was held at Ubungo Plaza Blue Pearl Hotel for trainees from Dar es Salaam and
Coast regions and Clinical Officers Training Centre (COTC) in Mtwara for those from Mtwara
and Lindi regions.
Various participatory methods and tools including brainstorming, card storming, buzzing in pairs,
round robin report back, case studies, role plays and songs were used throughout the training.
The training purposely used group and plenary discussions to enable trainees reach a common
consensus on crucial issues.
Working in buzzing pairs or small groups enabled trainees to develop self-confidence and
teamwork in sorting out issues as well as sharing experiences from different situations. Through
these participatory methods, trainees were able to collectively conceive the results of the training.
The training materials document with a reference focusing on water supply planning has been
developed and presented in a separate package which comprises of training aims, objectives,
curriculum, session plans, training notes and lecture presentations.
The followings are the observations and findings, which were realized during the four trainings in
the Dar es Salaam and the Mtwara venue from sessions.
In the general process of water supply designing, various studies should be undertaken to increase
the accuracy of water supply design. It, however, was realized that no particular study such as
preliminary and feasibility studies were undertaken in the existing rural water supply and
sanitation projects. The reasons identified by trainees are shown below.
4-16
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
• Directives from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation e.g. Project completion timeframe
forced engineers to execute projects without detailed analysis.
• Inadequate budget provisions and low capacities available in the district water departments
in terms of expertise, tools and equipment.
• Unavailability of reliable data that limits the possibilities to go through all of these steps.
As a conclusion of this session, trainees appreciated the importance of the involvement of
different players in RWSSP, based on the fact that they commonly faced in their LGAs, in order
to undertake a series of studies effectively.
Basing on Tanzania experience, the assessment of water quality is not given first priority as
compared to water quantity. It was realized that there were few water analysis laboratories
compared to the high-expected number of projects to be executed under RWSSP. To ensure
reliable assessment of water quality it was advised that MoWI through BWOs to equip the basin
water laboratories with necessary tools, reagents and qualified staff to meet the RWSSP water
quality assessment demand.
Tanzania is far behind in resource management. It was suggested that all stakeholders to take
corrective measures on the water resources management before the scarce water resource is
depleted. However much of the support comes from BWOs.
It was recognized that some of water resource data, e.g. demographic and geological data are
available at District/Municipal councils and other can be obtained from BWOs of which in both
cases need to be updated. There is an immediate need of collecting new and updating the
available data. BWOs are obliged to provide information and data for proper management of
water resource. It was found that BWO has no systematic MIS much of the existing monitoring
stations are out of order. There are no personnel to be entrusted for work at BWO.
It was revealed that there is minimal consideration of the social economic factors when designing
rural water supply and sanitation sub projects. Further to that trainees realize the importance of
referring to the factors during designing.
Water supply plan needs reliable technical data and information for its accuracy. It, however, is
quite limited for planners to access these data and information with the following reasons.
The water departments at district and regional levels have inadequate hydrological and
hydrogeological data for water supply planning. Trainees were concerned on the capability of
the BWO to supply the data and information for planning. Ruvuma/Southern Coast water basin
was mentioned as an example of BWOs that cannot provide all the required information for water
supply planning as it is still under the infant stage of its existence.
There is no clear line of information sharing between the LGAs and BWOs. It was suggested to
establish reliable Information Management Systems. This limits DWSTs to design the water
supply plans in technically feasible manner.
Practice of water supply and sanitation facilities planning and designing is not a common
phenomenon to LGAs` staff. This has been due to limitations on the timing and knowledge on
the process.
4-17
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
Especially in a process of facility planning and designing with involvement of communities, there
is a need of synchronizing the O&OD process in the implementation of RWSS project under
WSDP. During preparations of community planning if water happens to be the priority, which
in most cases occurs, advance stage of water supply planning can be done at community level.
6) Impact Assessment
The trainees’ experiences on water supply and sanitation projects planning showed that there is a
minimum consideration on the social and environmental impact assessment during planning stage.
This is because all trainees are not aware of the procedures and guidelines on how social and
environmental impact assessments should be incorporated in the overall process of project
planning.
Trainees realized that most of the existing projects have not been derived from any of the study
e.g. feasibility/preliminary and this situation has reduced significantly the technical feasibility of
the project.
Besides, BWOs and RWSTs which are supposed to provide technical services during the
appraisal do not have enough capacity in terms of personnel, equipment and even finances to
support DWSTs.
Trainees were confused on alignment of O&OD planning process and FMP to be carried out
during RWSS project cycle. Neither PMO-RALG nor MoWI could clarify. It was proposed that
during the review of WSDP manuals including the FMP, O&OD process should be well discussed
and integrated within the process.

This training was contracted to Achrid Ltd and facilitated jointly for DWST and RWST with the
following major goals:
(i) To enhance knowledge and skills of DWST/RWST members in the project management which
requires consciousness to link the activities of DWST and RWST with the organizational goal and
outputs.
(ii) To improve capacities of DWST for management of the outsourcing process in RWSS projects for
preparation of the preliminary and detail designs of the community subprojects and tendering
procedures for selection of contractors under the first phase of WSDP
(iii) To strengthen capacities of RWST to provide DWST with advisory services on the contract
management.
A total of 50 trainees attended this training. Trainees were drawn from 22 districts and four
regions in the project area. These were DWE and DPLO from all targeted 22 districts and RWA
and RPO in the targeted regions of Coast, Dar es Salaam, Lindi and Mtwara.
The facilitation process aimed at ensuring full participation of all trainees. Hence, a right
combination of training methods and techniques of delivery were applied which included paper
presentations by resource persons followed by open ended discussions and points of clarifications
on key concepts and procedures. The training was also purposely planned to include a series of
group work discussions with the same composition of trainees so that each trainee could feel
more at ease to share his or her knowledge and skills.
The views and the analysis results of each group were further discussed in plenary sessions for
collective synthesis. All group work was displayed on the walls and in most cases used as
reference materials to the subsequent sessions. In fact there was a strong ownership
In many a times, prior to introducing the topics via a power point presentation, trainers attempted
to explore trainees’ knowledge and experience on certain concepts. This method not only
created a sense of confidence and ownership among the trainees but most importantly helped the
trainers to assess the level of understanding of the trainees on certain concepts and thus, at times
led to a re-planning of the delivery methods and also to identify areas which required more
emphasis.
The following part highlights some of the major issues which emerged from the training course
either as results, ideas, trainers’ observations and/or recommendations.
Despite the fact that majority of the trainees were not familiar with the PCM approach to
planning, there was a general consensus that the approach was relevant for their work.
Apart from being enlightened on the overall conceptual framework of project designing by using
PCM, trainees had an opportunity of learning new concepts such as Result Based Management
(RBM), Logical Framework Analysis (LFA), and how they can be applied in their day to day
work.
Trainees at both centres underscored the importance of PCM method and expressed their desire to
learn more about it so that they could utilise it in preparing their district development plans.
They however, noted with concern that the PCM process requires more time than that which is
normally available to the district officers in the districts especially when they are assigned
numerous ad hoc tasks. They also showed some doubts whether the participatory planning
process would be implemented effectively since it involves many stakeholders.
4-19
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
Moreover, they admitted that this first orientation on PCM method could not enable them to
acquire sufficient skills to practice in their respective districts let alone facilitating other DWST
members who had not attended the course.
In principle the course had a good mix of theoretical and practical orientation which in many
ways helped trainees to practically visualise their opinions in comparison to what they had
learned theoretically. This kind of learning not only ensured smooth discussions during group
discussions but more importantly reinforced the trainees’ knowledge on different concepts.
Similarly, the field assignment or homework which was given by the organizers at the end of the
course was in essence meant to link up the acquired knowledge during the training and practical
aspects of the trainees’ day to day work.
This training was planned on the assumption that most of the potential trainees had been familiar
somehow with the participatory planning processes using the LFA and PCM method. However,
as it turned out during the training most of the trainees acknowledged their limited practical
knowledge on the subject matter. There were a few individuals especially the planning officers
who had been introduced to the government MTEF/strategic planning in which a LFA was part,
but had not been following the PCM process to reach the formulation of the PDM. They
asserted that in most cases they were either being provided with generic LFA templates by the
ministries or consultants were hired to work out the strategic plans including LFA for the districts.
Furthermore, whereas most of the trainees were familiar with a project cycle they failed to relate
it to the PCM process. The definitions and features of PCM as presented by the trainees
revealed a significant level of ignorance on the concept. Most of them thought that PCM
referred to how the project was managed.
As commonly observed by the trainers and trainees, the duration of five days for this training
course was inadequate particularly given the trainees’ unfamiliarity with the whole PCM concept
and process. Therefore, time limitation partly affected adversely trainees’ internalisation of the
process. For example, at times trainers had to rush through certain important steps in order to
catch up with the allocated time. In so doing too much information/explanations was given in a
very short time, something which might have contributed to partial understanding of some topics
such as formulation of OVI and assumptions.

This training was contracted to Achrid Ltd and organized jointly for DWST and RWST with the
following major goals:
(i) To strengthen capacity of DWST in formulation of the integrated approaches and activities of
water, sanitation and hygiene with encouraging community participation.
A total of 51 trainees attended this course at both venues at Ubungo Plaza in Dar es Salaam and at
the Clinical Officers’ Training College (COTC) in Mtwara Municipality. Trainees for this
training were drawn from the health and education departments in each target
district/municipality and from the Regional Secretariats (RS) of target regions.
Various adult training techniques and tools were used to provide an opportunity for trainees to
explore how much they knew already on the topics and as a consequence share and compare the
strategies, approaches and experience on sanitation and hygiene education promotion. This kind
of approach necessitated the use of both participatory and paper presentation methods in the hope
that synergy and dialogue as well as expert inputs would generate a common ground process.
Initially, it was also planned to include a field practice on CLTS at both centres. Field practice
had to be conducted at one selected school. For various reasons field practice was not possible
for the Dar es Salaam trainees. First, the training in Dar es Salaam coincided with the National
STD IV Examinations. Secondly, the organisers were informed that the Ministry of Education
and Vocational Training (MoEVT) prohibits such extra curricula events to take place at schools
during working days. On the other hand, CLTS field practice was conducted for Mtwara
trainees in Nambeleketela village in Mtwara rural district.
The following part highlights some of the major issues which emerged from the training course
either as results, ideas, trainers’ observations and/or recommendations.
There was an increased understanding of the basic institutional issues related to water sector
development especially among those trainees who had not been involved in water and sanitation
development in their respective districts. In the course of the training the following issues were
regularly explained to ensure that trainees get a better understanding of the institutional and
operational framework of the water sector.
• The national Water Sector Development Programme (WSDP)
• DWST composition including DEO and DHO as members
• Clarification of roles and responsibilities of the education and health departments and need to
link up together especially in planning, implementing and monitoring of School Sanitation
Hygiene Education (SSHE)
• RWSS Project Cycle and how S&H activities are fitted in the cycle
4-21
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
The presentations and subsequent discussions on national approaches and the new Total
Sanitation and Social Marketing (TSSM) approach stimulated the thoughts and analysis of the
trainees on a number of practical issues. The group presentations aroused intense discussions in
plenary sessions and formed the basis for drawing practical lessons and learning opportunities.
For instance, trainees clearly expressed the need to have an integrated participatory approach for
S&H promotion and this process should not be owned by the DWSTs but by the communities
who are expected to benefit from adoption of improved sanitation and hygiene practices.
The training resulted into a better understanding of new approaches to S&H promotion and the
need to link water supply with &S&H as well as HIV/AIDS. More importantly, trainees were
exposed to practical strategies of how to mainstream HIV/AIDS in RWSSP.
Likewise, the trainees appreciated the current thinking of applying CLTS and Social Marketing to
motivating communities to build improved sanitation facilities in order to avoid faecal-oral
transmission and adopting better hygiene behaviours. Also the field practice at Mtwara centre
was regarded by trainees as a practical and useful approach to ensure effective community
facilitation.
The group and plenary discussions not only reinforced team work among trainees but most
importantly produced a strong sense of achievement among them. There was a general feeling
of self satisfaction because of the contribution each one had made during the training.
Similarly, the identification of key players in S&H promotion and the need to link them was
indeed a beginning of establishing a common vision of how to plan, implement and monitor S&H
interventions in the districts.
The training aroused interest and need for DWSTs to include SSHE interventions in DWSPs. It
was found out that schools had been generally marginalised in the past as far as RWSSP support
was concerned. The education and health departments were focal points in this respect.

This training was contracted to Achrid Ltd. and facilitated with the following major goal;
(i) To strengthen the network of human resources and organizations in the districts to extend support
services for the community-based O&M and hygiene promotion activities.
The training focused on measures for utilization of the extension workers and CBOs/NGOs in the
districts as the facilitators to support WATSAN/WUE in management of the community
subprojects.
DWE, DHO, DCDO, and DEO were invited to the training from each district. A total of 88
trainees attended this training.
The following part highlights some of the major issues which emerged from the training course
either as results, ideas, trainers’ observations and/or recommendations.
In conformity with the decentralization policy, RWSSP has identified new players at the
community level specifically the community-based council personnel such as CDOs, health
officers, teachers and agricultural extension workers as the catalysts between the community
members and district council to facilitate and support communities for improved management of
the projects through the community-based organizations such as WATSAN committees and for
sanitation and hygiene promotion.
Discussion in the training revealed that an idea to utilize the extension workers was relatively
new to the trainees. DWSTs had not utilized extension staff of the member departments in
RWSS projects despite the policy direction mentioned above. The trainees commonly expressed
its reason that the extension workers had their own full time specific tasks and involvement in
RWSS activities were regarded as extra works for them. From this statement, it was observed
that the integrated approach of water, sanitation and hygiene promotion in RWSS projects had not
been fully internalized in the daily operation of works by each member departments of DWST.
Other challenge found in the training is that the trainees did not have enough information on the
staff allocation of the extension workers in each member department of DWST, which made them
difficult to consider strategy for utilization of those human resources.
The trainees agreed at the end of the session that they would carry out an inventory of the existing
extension workers in each district and assess their capacities so that the information would be
referred to for strategizing their utilization in RWSS activities. The trainees further agreed that
they would review tasks of the extension workers in order to harmonize the RWSSP activities
under their job descriptions and train them in RWSSP approaches through on-the-job training
basis.
2) Facilitation Skills for Water Supply and Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion
Various techniques are used in facilitation of activities at the community level throughout the
project cycle in order to ensure that the communities are effectively engaged and take initiatives
in the process and results. The trainees reviewed in the session how they had been interacting
with the community members in RWSS activities. Despite the fact that they had at one time
4-23
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
applied participatory approaches such as PRA and PHAST in RWSS activities, most of the
participants with the exception of CDOs lacked basic facilitation skills such as asking
open/probing questions, rephrasing, redirecting, using encouragers to motivate people to talk,
listening, and summarizing the discussion to enable people to recap the agenda and reach a
consensus or agreements.
Based on the recap on essentials of the facilitation skills in supporting the community
development, the trainees further practiced the facilitation skills with role-play. Performance of
the role play by each group showed that a good number of participants, especially the technically
oriented/trained, were still playing an expert role in which case use of teaching/lecturing methods
were still dominant. The participants found the training very helpful but they rightly claimed that
they would need more time to practice.
Through the group works, the trainees identified practical gender needs and strategic gender
needs for the specific themes of i) water supply, ii) household sanitation and hygiene, and iii)
school sanitation and hygiene education. Based on the knowledge acquired during the session,
the trainees prepared the district-based action plans for the gender mainstreaming in RWSS
projects in their districts. Strategic points when mainstreaming gender in RWSSP were
emphasized by the facilitator and resource person in plenary discussion on the action plans
prepared by each district.

This training was contracted to Achrid Ltd. and facilitated with the following major goal;
(i) To strengthen knowledge, skills and attitude of DWEs in technical supervision of the service
providers, contractors and suppliers to ensure meeting the required standard of the water supply and
sanitation services.
This training course divided into two parts. The first part which was conducted in the first three
days of the course focused on the technical supervision of the construction works. DWEs and
Senior Technicians were invited for this part. Meanwhile, main topics related to the contract
4-24
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
management were discussed in the second part held in the last two days with participation of
DWEs and DTs. A total of 57 trainees attended this training.
The following part highlights some of the major issues which emerged from the training course
either as results, ideas, trainers’ observations and/or recommendations.
Field practices for the technical supervision were included in this training course. The
participants from DWSTs in Coast and Dar es Salaam regions visited two communities, namely
Kitunda-Kivule in Ilala and Kibugumo in Temeke, where piped water schemes were under
construction or had been constructed in a Japan’s grant aid project. The participants from
Mtwara and Lindi regions conducted the field practice in Tangazo in Mtwara District, where the
distribution network was being extended with a support of TASAF for a piped water scheme
constructed in a Japan’s grant aid project. The field work involved critical assessment of the main
status of the schemes including technical aspects, community participation and management.
The participants observed the following through the field practices;
• Preparation and use of a checklist had make the supervision more effective since it sets what
to be checked on site according to the ToR, tender documents and other contract documents.
• Since community subprojects involve both technical and social issues such as health,
management, community mobilization, it is very difficult to separate technical supervision
from the other community development aspects. Even though the visit is primarily meant
for the technical supervision of the works, DWSTs should pay attention to those issues as
well. Moreover, the field supervisions should be conducted jointly by DWST members.
• Involvement of the beneficiary communities is indispensable in the supervision of the works.
They have often been left out in the process of the supervision in spite that they were the
owners of the projects.
2) Contract Management
The training provided opportunities to DWEs and DTs to review their practices on the
management of contracts with consultants and contractors in the past and on-going RWSS
projects. The trainees raised the following points as their observations;
• There was inadequate follow up on progress of the works by the contractors in the field,
which made the districts difficult to detect any anomalies early enough for making
rectifications. Timely supervision of the works is indispensable to verify quality of
workmanship and contract management.
• Management of the contract for the services by TSP and the works of the contractors is seen
to be much easier than that of FSP because in most cases the latter’s results are not tangible.
Hence, DWSTs need to make close supervision of FSP’s work so that they can verify process
and results of the works.
• Payments to the service providers were sometimes not effected in tandem with work
executed or within the contractual timeframe which resulted in delays of delivery of works.
• DWSTs need to thoroughly review reports submitted by the consultants and contractors in
order to ensure that the requirements in the contracts are satisfied in the actual works and
properly recorded.
All districts confirmed that they did not have a reliable database of service providers even those
located within their districts. The trainees underscored the importance of maintaining a
databases of the service providers particularly as a tool in outsourcing small works or services as
4-25
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
well as in identifying competent and non-competent service providers. It is necessary for LGAs
to start taking stock of the service providers within their localities and also make consultation
with the procurement unit in MoWI and other professional bodies such as the Contractors
Association of Tanzania (CATA), Tanzania Association of NGOs (TANGO), Institution of
Engineers of Tanzania (IET), and Engineers Registration Board (ERB) so that they can be availed
with update information about private firms and NGOs.
This training was contracted to Achrid Ltd and facilitated with the following major goals:
(i) To strengthen capacity of DWST in planning for the O&M and follow-up stage of RWSS projects.
(ii) To strengthen capacity of DWST in monitoring and evaluation at the O&M and follow-up stage of
RWSS projects.
(iii) To evaluate achievement of capacity development through RUWASA-CAD and draw lessons learnt
and recommendations.
DWE, DPLO, DHO, DCDO, and DEO were invited to the training from each district. A total of
106 trainees attended this training.
The following part highlights some of the major issues which emerged from the training course
either as results, ideas, trainers’ observations and/or recommendations.
(1) Operation and Maintenance Requirements
Before the training, most of the participants were considering that many activities in O&M are
only linked to the technical (engineering) aspects. The training provided an opportunity to
review practices of the districts in the support service provisions to communities at the O&M and
follow-up stage and to conceptualize the requirements in O&M of the water supply facilities by
4-26
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
looking at various factors, such as technical, organizational, social, and financial aspects, which
contribute sustainability of the water supply services.
(2) Post-Construction Follow-up Support by DWST
The trainees pointed out that the districts had hardly been conducting the scheduled follow-up
after they hand over water supply facilities to the communities unless the communities request.
In addition, there are few WUEs legally for management of existing water supply facilities in the
districts as both communities and districts are not familiar with the procedures to be followed for
the registration.
At the end of the training, the trainees expressed that they would ensure the following in
supporting communities and WATSAN/WUE in O&M;
• To select appropriate management moles and leaders who can manage water facilities
• To set water tariff with considering costs to be incurred for management of the water
facilities
• To organize meetings as scheduled and assist them to write report so as to ensure that there is
enough information which can help the communities analyze the financial viability of the
water supply services.
(3) Monitoring of Operation and Maintenance Conditions
The training revealed that the districts had not given high priority in monitoring of O&M
conditions of the existing water supply facilities as the monitoring of progress of the on-going
projects was more focused in the day-to-day activities by DWSTs. Through the group works,
the trainees practiced how to come up with the monitoring and follow-up plans including the
indicator setting to verify O&M conditions with considering factors which contribute to
sustainability. As the trainees were not experienced in utilizing logical framework in planning
the monitoring and follow-up activities of the completed projects, most of them had difficulties to
prepare such plans in logical manner. They expressed that they would still need to practice it in
their actual works so that they would get familiar with the logical thinking in planning,
monitoring and evaluation of the community subprojects.
4.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The monitoring and evaluation plan was designed by the project team to evaluate “effectiveness” of
the training programmes to be provided for DWST/RWST/BWO in the project. Findings from the
monitoring and evaluation were utilized for improvement of the training model which the project
proposed. A series of the monitoring and evaluation activities was also regarded as an opportunity
to strengthen capacity of Community Water Supply Division for planning and managing the training
programmes they would organize in future.

The main components of the training, which might influence the satisfaction of trainees, are
commonly the level of performance/quality of facilitators, trainers and training materials.
Assessing these main components and level of satisfaction mentioned above, it can be concluded
that the training contents were delivered adequately to trainees. Besides, the level of
4-31
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
understanding and usefulness on training contents could encourage the overall achievement of
training delivery.
However, the amount of training contents might contradict simply time available during the
training period to a certain extent. The assessment on a training venue in Mtwara was
negatively affected by the condition of locally available venue, which was situated in semi-open
air, frequent disturbance by birds, low ventilation.

With the same logical interpretation on figures given below as the previous phase, the
achievement of this training delivery has become more significant than the previous training. The
factors positively affecting on this improvement are assumed based on the following comments
given by trainees.
• Consistency of training focal points
• “Continuous participation in RUWASA-CAD training increases the level of understanding
on contents.”
• “Integrating training messages are relevant and consistent with practical works at stations.”
• Harmonization of different approaches given from sector ministries
• “RUWASA-CAD training intended to harmonize different planning approaches. This will
reduce confusion among DWST.”
• “I have never known about O&OD planning approach even though those who have been
trained with it were members of DWST.”

With regard to the main components of the training, their average is highest of all phases.
Besides, DWE and RWA were only invited to the training so that total number of trainees was
adequately limited, which enabled them to utilize spaces of venue facility with high efficiency.
Consequently all positive factors compromised trainees to rate their satisfaction high.

1) Component 1
The backbone of this component was associated with the principles of the project cycle
management (PCM), which requires consistent steps to identify and sort out actual phenomenon
logically. Usually obtaining this skill quite depends on regular practices and experiences in
actual situation.
This was the first opportunity for most trainees to expose themselves to PCM. Therefore, it was
naturally difficult to understand fully on training contents, which was reflected on figures given
in the table below.

[5: Very good 4: Good 3: Fair 2: Poor 1: Very poor]
Since training contents were difficult, the overall evaluation on the training delivery was
averagely lowest of all phases. However, many trainees commented that PCM was quite useful
and they would like to have other training sessions on PCM for better understanding. In this
context, the responsiveness from trainees was not as bad as the result shows.
Considering the limited time and complexity of contents, it could be a better approach if number
of sessions in this training component was reduced in order to focus simply more on PCM.

Having that size of venues in COTC was not comfortable at all for 25 trainees. However, it was
unfortunate that the situation of venue availability in Mtwara did not give us any alternative.
This was illustrated in the result of training venue throughout phases. The better environment in
venues would subsequently improve the quality of the training.
The field practice was not conducted in Dar es Salaam centre of training while was in Mtwara.
This might make different in the evaluation results of these centres, particularly in understanding
and usefulness of the training. This could be understood that theories and principles discussed
in a venue were physically practiced in a community, where similar situation could be easily
found in trainees’ LGAs, and linked logically.

The participants rated above average with regard to the facilitation of the sessions, presentation of
key concepts related to the main topics, and contents of the handouts as a result evaluated the
level of understanding high. It is considered that these factors contributed to the evaluation of
the ‘Usefulness’ factor at both centres scored between 4.1 and 4.7 which was remarkably high.
On the other hand, the ‘venue’ factor scored below 4 (though above average) at Dar es Salaam
centre for both Dar es Salaam and Coast participants as well as at the Mtwara centre for Lindi
participants. In all cases this was because the conference rooms which were provided were less
convenient in terms of ventilation as well as space.
Some of the participants at both centres commented in the evaluation forms that the duration of
this training which required a lot of group and plenary discussions and other practical orientations
was inadequate. Others commented that some of the new and long topics were not allocated
enough time. This could justify the rating of the ‘Time’ factor which was slightly below 4 by the
participants from Coast Region (3.9), Dar es Salaam Region (3.8) and Lindi Region (3.9).
2) Component 2
The overall results show that DWEs who attended all the sessions rated the course with relatively
higher scores thant WTs and DTs. This implies that they were in a better position of sequencing

Moreover, DWEs have been participating in all training phases under the Project and as such they
are familiar with the facilitation process of the training.

All participants in all categories indicated that the delivery of the training was satisfactory as the
scores for all factors were above average.
Though most of the participants rated the time factor above average, WTs and DTs indicated in
quantitative and qualitative evaluation that the time allocated to some sessions or the training
duration was too short since most of the topics were relatively new to them.
With regard to the evaluation results by each criteria, ‘facilitator’, ‘presenter’ and ‘usefulness of
sessions in work’ factors gained high scores.
On the other hand the ‘time’ factor scored less than 4.0 for all regions for one common reason
earmarked by trainees that most session contents were too many such that not matching with the
time allocated for each session. As for the ‘venue’ factor the conference room which was
provided in Mtwara centre was less convenient in terms of ventilation as well as space. However,
the venue for Dar es Salaam centre had technical problems in the cooling systems at the training
inception with DWSTs of Dar es salaam region, that is why has been rated with a score of less
than 4.0.
Regarding the ‘usefulness’ factor most trainees had appreciated that contents of the sessions were
very crucial in their day to day undertakings although they had proposed to include as many field
practice as possible in such training course.

Facilitators requested firstly trainees to evaluate their level of satisfaction to these six factors in
accordance with their expected goal. After they finish the first practice, the second practice to
evaluate the same before the training participation.
This approach enables outcomes considerably to be more accurate to assess the effectiveness of
inputs.
In general the objectives of this training cover mainly perspectives of 1 to 3 while those of 4 to 6
are not directly targeted in this training.
In Table 4.18, rather significant changes between after and before the training are observed in
factor 1 and 2. This is quite synchronized with the intention of this training. Vice versa, the
result of factor 3 shows relatively lower difference than others. This could be assessed that the
approach taken in this training for factor 3 was rather introductive than the one which trainees
expected. Similarly factor 4 is definitely out of our target area of capacity development.
Therefore, trainees might have assessed it relatively lower than others.
Areas of factor 5 and 6 are not directly covered by this training but somehow concept of
monitoring and evaluation was introduced as a part of planning session. This may contribute
their assessment.

handouts were provided to them after completion of the training.

Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
20 LGAs have given the response of assignment at least either for regular assignment, specific
assignment or both. Out of 20, 8 LGAs were qualified for both regular and specific assignments
while 12 LGAs fulfilled only one of them.
Assessing on the response on the specific assignment only, 16 LGAs have completed it with
satisfactory level. This result meant that most of trainees (DWEs) for 1st phase training learned
effectively enough to complete it, which represented the principles of he training.
From all these points of view, the matter of learning of the training could be adequate in this
training phase.
(2) 2nd training phase
1) Component 1
Trainees were questioned whether or not to be able to perform the action described in each
specific objective at the end of session and assessed themselves generally “able to perform in
good”, which was illustrated in the table below.

The assignment prepared for this training component, which aimed to provide an opportunity for
trainees to assess the procedure of selection of candidate villages based on DRA, could cover
intentionally the contents of session 2 to 6. According to trainees’ evaluation result, most of
trainees were able to perform specific objectives in session 2 to 6 in good manner. However, as
the response of this given assignment was assessed, it was realized that there were only a few
responses which could be qualified as of the end of January 2009.
How we can understand the denotation of this gap. Assessing 12 reports submitted from
trainees, there could be some observations and findings herewith.
Trainees did not understand fully the requirements on the report of this assignment.
In some of LGAs, documents associated with selection of candidate villages were not kept
properly. Therefore, the procedures of the selection were not clear enough as required for the
report.

As well as the result of component 1, trainees assessed the accomplishment of specific objectives
high.

However, there is a significant gap between the above mentioned result and the assessment result
on submitted assignments similarly to the condition of component 1. This assignment aimed to
assure not only technical skills and knowledge among DWSTs, but also the communication
mechanism between LGAs and BWO responsible to abridge hydorogeological and hydrological
information for stakeholders.
Necessary technical information from BWO was established during the 1st phase of the training
and distributed to DWEs through the 2nd phase trainings. Nevertheless, it was not referred for
the assessment of water resource potentials in areas.
(3) 3rd training phase
1) Component 1
The result of assessment on accomplishment of specific objectives shows relatively lower than
other results. This was affected by the complexity of the subject discussed in the training.
Session 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
DSM 4.3 4.1 4.2 3.9 4.1 4.0 4.1 4.2 3.6

[5: Very good 4: Good 3: Fair 2: Poor 1: Very poor]
On the contrary with this result, the comments given from trainees were largely positive and
enthusiastic on the subject. Besides, the trainers expressed their appreciation on the active
participation of trainees in sessions.
The response on the assignment for this component was not collected yet. Its assessment will be
an issue to be discussed in the following report.
2) Component 2
Trainees have assessed their accomplishment of specific objectives on this training component as
high as other trainings. Innovative subjects such as CLTS and social marketing could have
increased trainees’ interest, participation and eventually rate of accomplishment.
Session 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
DSM 4.4 4.5 4.5 4.1 4.4 4.6 4.4
Mtwara 4.5 4.5 4.4 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.2
[5: Very good 4: Good 3: Fair 2: Poor 1: Very poor]
Trainers have evaluated the attitude of trainees as high as the component 1, especially
enthusiastic preparation and participation on CLTS field practice. Including a field practice in
the training programme would be a good catalyst to enhance the understanding of training
contents.
(4) 4th training phase
1) Component 1
As for the assessment of the achievements of the participants per specific session objectives, the
results indicate scores above 4 for all sessions at both centres except for Sessions 5 and 6 which
were rated 3.9 by Mtwara Region participants. Nevertheless, all the scores clearly depicted that
the participants at both centres had acquired sufficient knowledge on the topics or sessions which
were presented during the training course. Of particular interest were Sessions 1 to 4 which
seemed to have been adequately understood since at all centres the score was above 4.
Despite these high scores, qualitative comments by some participants on the evaluation forms
indicated that they required more time to practice what they had learned during this training
4-38
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
course. This was mainly because most of the topics and concepts were relatively new to the
participants and hence needed more time for internalisation and practice.

2) Component 2
Though the scores for each session for all categories of participants at both centres were above
average, rating by DTs in Dar es Salaam centre and the one by WTs in Mtwara centre are lower
than others who participated in the same sessions. This phenomenon could, to some extent be
attributed to the level of their involvement in the day to day DWST activities in each LGA, which
to some participants reflected an added advantage in terms of acquisition of background
knowledge on some topics covered in this training course.
As for the DWEs, the overall results at both centres showed high level of achievement as most of
their scores were above 4 with the lowest being 3.9 for Session 6 at the Dar es Salaam Centre.

Program. Overall status of the 1st cycle of RWSSP in the target LGAs throughout the
implementation period of the Project is summarised in this sub-section in order to describe the
external environment of the Project which is related to realisation of behavior change of the trainees
and DWSTs.
The procurement process of TSP/FSP was started by MoWI and LGAs in 2007. Most of the target
LGAs signed a contract with TSP/FSP in the latter half of 2009 and the consultants commenced the
scoping study. As of the middle of June 2010, 19 LGAs have completed the scoping study and
seven out of 19 are in the process of selection of the contractor for exploratory drilling at the target
communities. The remaining three LGAs, namely Ilala, Temeke and Kisarawe, had just signed a
contract with TSP/FSP at the time of the visit by the end line survey team in early June 2010.
It means that the planning stage of the 1st cycle of RWSSP had been started around the
implementation of the 4th training phase of the Project, which shows a gap of almost one year and
nine months between the initial schedule of RWSSP and the actual progress.
4-40
Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
Number of cases was initially limited in terms of practice of the trainees on application of their the
training attainments in the daily operation of their works as the implementation of RWSSP
considerably delays against its original schedule as mentioned in the previous sub-section.
Compared to the situation at the first and second monitoring visits conducted in September-October
2008 and January 2009, those who attended the RUWASA-CAD training have had more
opportunities to practice the obtained skills, knowledge and attitudes in their actual works. The
behavior change of the individual members of DWST has gradually occurred along with the
progress of RWSSP/WSDP which provides various opportunities for practice to the trainees.
It is noteworthy that the collective behavior change in the team is also observed among the trainees
in each DWST, which have been realized through making joint actions to improve their activities as
DWST.
Most of the interviewees explained that skills and knowledge obtained in the training were practical
and could be adopted in their works in most cases. Main reasons why the trainees could not utilize
their attainment from the training were either no opportunity in actual works due to slow progress of
RWSSP or the working environment and customs in the offices which do not allow them to apply
new procedures and attitude even if the trainees understand those importance and value.

It was identical that the behavior changes at the individual level have induced the behavior
changes, which are shown in the table above, at the organizational level to a certain extent. It,
however, was also observed that the linkage among different institutions, especially between
BWO and DWST/RWST, was still under practical during the 1st and 2nd monitoring visits.
Besides, any significant outcome to improve the status of RWSSP in respective LGAs could not
be identified in these initial stage of the Project.
The situation has been improved since the latter half of 2009 when most of LGAs started actual
implementation of the 1st cycle of RWSSP. During the 3rd monitoring visit, it was found that
practices of the pilot LGAs had been improved in terms of examination of output submitted by
consultants/ contractors as well as application of DRA in selection of the target communities.
Apart from these behavior change, DWSTs visited expressed that linkage among the team
members ha been strengthened after the training. Also, in case of Masasi, DWST reviewed its
membership and was planning to include Natural Resource Officer and DEO in charge of the
secondary schools in the team. This effort indicates that the team members have gradually
realized effectiveness of teamwork and function of DWST to coordinate various actors related to
RWSS projects at the district level.
(2) Achievement
As a result of the surveys conducted in the project implementation period, an improvement was
observed in terms of the behavior change of DWST from the aspects mentioned above. The
surveys were conducted in July 2009 and June 2010 for all the target LGAs. The first one was
administered by sending a questionnaire to each LGA which was filled by respective DWSTs,
especially DWEs. The second one was implemented as the end line survey as mentioned in
Chapter 3.6.
The Programme Implementation Manual (PIM) for the WSDP suggests employment of DRA in
RWSS projects. In the process of selection of the candidate communities of RWSS projects, six
activities as indicated in Figure 4.6 below can be considered to realize DRA.
Among these activities, the RUWASA-CAD training has put special emphasis on the training
topics related to “assessment of water resources potential of the target area” in order to ensure
formulation of RWSS projects with due consideration of balance between water demand and
water resources potential. Participants of the 1st and 2nd training phases reviewed processes
which had been involved in formulation of RWSS projects in their respective LGAs. A certain
number of the participants had understanding that demand of communities was the sole factor to
be considered based on DRA in formulation and implementation of RWSS projects. The
participants observed that overemphasise of the demand might have resulted in designing of
subprojects without appropriate assessment of the water resources potential, which would hinder

answered that they actually examined and made comments to progress reports and other output
submitted by the consultants or contractors in 2009/2010 while there were 20 LGAs in 2008/2009
which practiced this activity in the on-going RWSS projects. What is remarkable is that, as
shown in Fig. 4.8, situation has been improved in terms of involvement of the DWST members
as the team. Especially, participation of DCDO, DEO and DT has been increased dramatically.
Furthermore, number of LGAs which involve all the members of DWST has increased from 10 in
2008/2009 to 16 in 2009/2010.
Before the training, this activity had been done by DWE only in most LGAs. With addressing
this situation, approaches to build teamwork were employed purposefully in each training course,
which has contributed to improvement of processes on examination of the output of RWSS
projects by DWSTs.

As the status at the baseline survey, most of the target LGAs conducted hygiene promotion
activities on ad hoc basis. No strategic approaches were considered in these activities to
maximize synergy effect between improvement of water supply and sanitation conditions and
hygiene practices. The following was confirmed through the monitoring on application of the
integrated approach on water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion in DWSP;
19 LGAs answered that they incorporated strategies and activities related to sanitation and
hygiene promotion at communities and schools into DWSPs in 2008/2009. At the end line
survey, there were 17 LGAs which had already formulated or drafted DWSPs with support of
TSP/FSP while 5 LGAs were yet to reach to the stage for formulation of DWSP. Interventions
for sanitation and hygiene promotion are included in the DWSPs in these 17 LGAs.
Integrated approach of water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion was emphasized
throughout the training phases. It would have contributed to maintain high number of LGAs to
adopt the integrated approach in DWSP. The emphasis of sanitation component in RWSSP by
MoWI would also be one of the attribution of this achievement.
As the 1st cycle of RWSSP will enter into the implementation stage, DWSTs are expected to
coordinate sequence of activities and to cooperate among the members so that the planned
activities for construction of water facilities and sanitation and hygiene promotion will be
implemented timely and effectively.

Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
organize the training. Provision of such information from MoWI will help LGAs plan for
replication of the RUWASA-CAD training plan in their respective areas.
Other challenge is that subordinates of DWST members such as water technicians in DWE’s office
have limitation to access to the training materials written in English as they are not conversant in
reading English. A volunteer from Water Security Action Team (W-SAT) attached to DWE’s
office in Lindi District Council pointed out this through his observation of daily operation of
projects by DWE office. The water technicians also have difficulty to assist DWE in
implementation of the projects in some cases since they cannot fully understand PIM and other
project documents in English. Development of Swahili version of the key documents and
materials would help information and knowledge sharing within the organization and with the lower
LGAs.

Chapter 4 Output 2: Establishment of Training System Model for DWST
− There is no direct and regular communication between DWST and BWO. DWST is not
aware of the issues that are supposed to be consulted with BWO.
− LGAs do not need to get approval from RS on designs of water supply facilities before
commencement of the construction works as the role of RS is to provide advice to LGAs.
Each LGA through DWE has the mandate to approve designs of water supply facilities.
4.5.11 CONCLUSION
Practices of implementation of RWSS projects and capacity gaps of DWSTs were identified in the
baseline survey conducted at the beginning of the Project as explained in Chapter 3. Compared to
the situation at that stage, behavior change of DWST as the team has achieved in most of the target
LGAs in terms of the following aspects;
• Adoption of selection procedures of candidate communities of RWSS projects based on the
demand-responsive approach in the promotion phase
• Examination and making comments to progress reports and other output reports submitted by
the TSP/FSP within the agreed period, if the districts currently implement RWSS projects
with hiring TSP/FSP
• Update of information on water supply and sanitation conditions as well as operation and
maintenance of existing water supply facilities in the district every year
• Integration of strategies and activity plans on water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion
for households and schools into DWSP and annual plan
Except for these points, DWSTs in all the target LGAs acknowledged that coordination and sense of
teamwork had been strengthened in the team compared to the situation before the training.
These changes were mainly observed simultaneously with the commencement and progress of the
1st cycle of RWSSP. Most of the target LGAs signed contract with TSP/FSP for RWSSP in the
middle of 2009 by when three training phases had already been completed in the Project. The
trainees and DWSTs as the team had opportunities to apply what they learnt in the training to the
actual implementation of the project, which would have facilitated the behavior change at both the
individual and organizational level as shown in the previous sections.
It can be concluded that the training system for DWST has brought positive impacts on
improvement of the implementation process of RWSS projects by LGAs. As the 1st cycle of
RWSSP will be entering into the designing and construction stage of the water supply facilities,
MoWI requires to continue to monitor practices of LGAs so that level of the training attainment and
further behavior change will be verified. Such information will be of use for MoWI to elaborate
the training system to fit demands and actual situation in the RWSS sub-sector.
