Water, Sanitation and Hygiene - Emergency through relief to Reconstruction

In the Earthquake and Tsunami Affected Aceh Province

Programme Description (max 500 words)
The PMI has no section that directly deals with water and sanitation except those activities that relate to
hygiene promotion and implemented through community based first aid (CBFA) activities by the health
and social services department. However, watsan activities are a major component to the current reactive
and development in the tsunami operation mainly in Aceh Province.
The Federation will adopt a more community participatory approach to developing water and sanitation
facilities in the communities for acceptance and involvement of the communities and households. The
Federation will also endeavour to develop the capacity of the PMI in stabling a responsive watsan unit at
headquarters and in the field since ownership of the programme belongs to the PMI. This work will be
effectively implemented with close collaboration and coordination of the Organisation Development
(OD) and Disaster Management (DM) at IFRC Jakarta.

Overall Objective
Tsunami affected and other disaster prone communities have access to good quality preventive health,
basic health and social services, safe water and sanitation.

Expected Results
1. Outbreaks or spread of diseases related to water and sanitation have been prevented: The
implementation of most of the activities will contribute to the reduction of the occurrence and/or
spread of water and sanitation (hygiene) related diseases in communities.
2. Adequate, safe and culturally acceptable latrines have been designed, promoted and implemented
in the target Villages and TLCs.
3. Hygiene promotion training is promoted through the branches: Improved information and
promotion of hygiene may become part of the normal PMI programmes.
4. Basic hygiene awareness in the TLCs and villages is enhanced: With enhanced awareness among
people for hygiene, knowledge, attitude, behaviour and practice may improve and the demand for
better water and sanitation enabling factors may be ensured.
5. Suitable drainage in TLCs and Villages is achieved. This will go a long way in alleviating the
unsightliness due to water logging/ponding and thence vector breeding in camps.
6. Adequate water supply to the population in the TLCs and villages have been provided
7. ERU units remain operational through their operational period
8. The PMI watsan unit has been strengthened with more staff and are better prepared for response
9. PMI continues to support tsunami affected populations during rehabilitation with water
infrastructure through the ERU equipment. This will continue until gradual withdrawal can be
made while rehabilitation of self-sustained infrastructure is operating.
10. Support is provided on water infrastructure rehabilitation and construction.

Indicative Plans (2005-2009)

IFRC will support capacity development especially as regards organisational and institutional
development aimed at strengthening watsan activities of PMI. Training of volunteers will form the core
for this in the field. Hygiene promotion is a continuous activity which is the life blood for motivating
community and household members to have and use enabling watsan facilities. Drainage works will be
implemented in the first year from inception of the programme in the TLCs only. Side by side with
trucking of water to TLCs will be a more concerted effort to develop more permanent sources for water
supply for these camps. These will later be connected into the town or village water supply systems.
Sanitation in the form of latrines will be planned offshoot of hygiene education in the target villages. This
activity will go on and run concurrently with hygiene promotion for the next five years. Income
generation activities will form part of the hygiene promotion programme for the village entrepreneur
(hygiene promoter) for promoting hygiene, making latrine and water tank components, and helping
households to construct latrines.
