Introductions: members introduced themselves 2. Agree minutes and review actions from previous meeting No minutes from previous meeting as there were only presentations done. 3. Need a) Update of immediate needs: Feedback from organizations on reported AWD cases AWD outbreak has been reported in Johar, Buale, Ceelwaq, Sakow, luuq and belethawa. In Johar, all the 6 reported cases were treated and discharged, no new cases reported. Interventions seem to have an impact as the current situation has stabilized. b) Future scenario (e.g. rain/drought forecast). According to SWALIM; there remains a moderate risk of flooding along the Shabelle River given the rainfall forecast for the coming weeks. There is however minimal risk of flooding during the coming weeks along the juba rivers. According to FEWSNET; from November 1st-10th, confirmed rains subsided in many parts of Somalia. Latest report indicates rains continued in many parts of central region between November 11th -12th. In South Somalia, between November 1st- 10th most areas experienced reduction in rainfall. The entire middle shabelle was dry, most of lower juba and lower shabelle experienced moderate rainfall. Flooding has been reported in Dhobley, beletweyne, merka and Kurnuwarey in lower shabelle. WASH cluster partners in the region s are conducting response activities. Response is continuing and has been picking up. Some agencies have submitted ERF proposals to respond to the situation, the proposals are under review. The chair reminded the meeting that we are currently experiencing the deyr rains And therefore Members were encouraged to start early preparation for AWD/Cholera preparedness and response activities. 4. Feedback from field clusters: Presentation of Feed ups/key highlights received from the regional meetings in Gedo, Middle Shabelle, Hiran, Puntland, galgadud, Mudug, Galkayo, Middle and lower Juba, File name: v2 WASH Cluster technical meeting minutes.docx Page 1 of 5 Last updated: 29 November 2011

2 WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) CLUSTER Somalia TECHNICAL MEETING MINUTES - Nairobi Banadir and Bay/Bakool was shared. (Attached with the minutes, is summary of key highlights, challenges and action points from the regional WASH cluster meetings.) 5. CAP : process, response plan and projects The chair took the meeting through the WASH cluster objectives and the CAP process. Objectives: 1) Cluster objective #1-1: Provide access to safe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for people in emergency need 2) Cluster objective #1-2: Emergency preparedness and early response to humanitarian emergencies 3) Cluster objective #2/3/4-1: Provide reliable and sustained access to safe water based on identified strategic water points, establishment of sustainable management structures and development of sustained household water treatment strategies. 4) Cluster objective #2/3/4-2: Provide reliable and sustainable access to environmental sanitation. All sanitation access programs must be coupled with sustained hygiene practice promotion for the targeted population. 5) Cluster objective #2/3/4-3: Support continuous development of better Information Management tools for enhanced monitoring, early warning and emergency preparedness 6) Cluster objective #2/3/4-4: Strengthen the capacity of local WASH cluster actors to improve knowledge, ability and resilience of the community, and address gender gaps Selection process: Step1-171 CAP sheets were pre-filtered according to OCHA Common Criteria (OCHA CAP Guidance Note) - A cap sheet is discarded when it scores zero for two, or more than two in the essential criteria - Based on this, 96 from 171 CAP sheets, were discarded, leaving 75 for the technical review by CRC Step 2 - The 75 CAP sheets were evaluated by CRC according to 11 technical criteria (area and type of intervention) for a maximum of 50 points Summary of selection process: File name: v2 WASH Cluster technical meeting minutes.docx Page 2 of 5 Last updated: 29 November 2011

3 WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) CLUSTER Somalia TECHNICAL MEETING MINUTES - Nairobi Comments: No comments were raised on this. The chair made a Presentation of CHF second allocation process Selection Criteria were developed by the WASH CRC for both lifesaving and IDP durable solution response. The selection criteria were circulated to the WASH Agencies in CAP 2012 on 02 October Following submission of the proposals, the CRC met on 10-11, Oct 2012 to score and review each proposal. The top ranking proposals for each region per envelope (provided by CHF board) were recommended for funding. Agencies were requested to update proposals in the CHF database, based on initial feedback/questions from the WASH CRC. For the CHF second allocation, funds will be received by end of December then implementation can start in the beginning of January. Members were then requested to focus more on sanitation activities in the future with similar number of beneficiaries in both area (water and sanitation). Action: the cluster coordinator to share a map on CHF standard 2 nd allocation implementing partners 2012 with all the WASH cluster partners 6. Presentation on CLTS community led total sanitation A brief presentation on CLTS was done by a UNICEF consultant. What is community Led Total sanitation? It s a community-led / driven approach Involves/affects everyone in communities and addresses total elimination of open defecation Collective community decision & collective local action are keys in CLTS It heavily relies on the element of shame, disgust and fear Its non-subsidy approach Social solidarity and cooperation are in abundance Actions are locally decided and don't depend on external subsidies, prescriptions or pressure Natural Leaders emerge from collective local actions who lead future collective initiatives Often don t follow externally determined mode of development and blue print Local diversity and innovations are main elements Members were informed that: - There are over 100 UNICEF trained CLTS TOT s in NWZ (Somaliland), NEZ (Puntland) and SCZ (South Central).

4 WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) CLUSTER Somalia TECHNICAL MEETING MINUTES - Nairobi - There are 8 UNICEF local partners implementing CLTS in NWZ (6) and NEZ (2) - The line Ministries in Somaliland and Puntland strongly support the CLTS concept - Although CLTS is still relatively new in Somalia, there are good success stories reported from different zones - Trained TOT s and triggered communities appreciate the positive impact of CLTS - 11 international and national staff was brought to Kenya for a 10 days learning exchange visit. Comments on the presentation: Members inquired if there can be trainings for WASH cluster partners in Nairobi or Somalia on CLTS. The WASH cluster coordination informed the meeting that he had some informal discussion with UNICEF on this issue. By next year training plan will be done. Action: CLTS presentation to be circulated to the WASH cluster partners or put on the WASH cluster web site 7. Information Management Update A presentation on IM was made by the Chair. Key Highlights: October 4w updates were very low only: 18 agencies reported.

Wash Cluster Objectives Cluster objective #2/3/4-2 Provide reliable and sustainable access to environmental sanitation. All sanitation access programs must be coupled with sustained hygiene practice promotion for the targeted population. Cluster objective#2/3/4-3 Support continuous development of better Information Management tools for enhanced monitoring, early warning and emergency preparedness Cluster objective #2/3/4-4 Strengthen the capacity of local WASH cluster actors to improve knowledge, ability and resilience of the community, and address gender gaps Actions, Beneficiaries and Locations Actions: Life-saving provision of safe water and emergency sanitation programs(provision of facilities and dislodging programs) Access to safe water mainly through rehabilitation and sustained management of identified strategic water points, development of multiple use water systems and of sustained access to household water treatment Implementation of CLTS approach as the main strategy for sustained sanitation Beneficiaries: IDPs, populations of areas at high risk for AWD/cholera and populations affected by drought Locations: IDP settlements, areas at high risk for AWD/cholera, drought affected and acute malnutrition affected areas Selection process (step 1) 171 CAP sheets were pre-filtered according to OCHA Common Criteria(OCHA CAP Guidance Note) Total out of 20 points The project is in line with CAP strategic priorities and sector objectives. The project is based on assessed needs. Where applicable, the project is designed in coordination with other aid agencies to avoid duplication. The submitting organization commits to share information regularly with the relevant clusters for the monthly cluster single reporting format and monthly Dashboard, and to ensure its activities appear in the Who does What Where (3W) tables or activity matrices of the relevant clusters. The project is realistic, cost-effective, and meets technical standards as agreed by the cluster. The project presents a clear objective, which can be reached during the project duration (from 1 up to 3 years). Selection process (step 1) A cap sheet is discarded when it scores zero for two, or more than two, essential criteria Based on this, 96 from 171 CAP sheets, were discarded, leaving 75 for the technical review by CRC The organization has a recognized capacity to implement the project and/or proven track record. The cluster makes this determination. Where disputed, the HC and HCT make this determination. The project includes a monitoring and evaluation mechanism. The project identifies and strives to respond to the different needs of women, girls, boys and men as measured by the gender marker code and meets the Gender Minimum Standards as agreed by each cluster. A gender accountability requirement was agreed by all clusters to ensure that no zero gender marker projects will be included in the CAP , and all proposals submitted that do not comply will be revised. 1

10 Global Hand Washing Day-Somalia Specific activities Wash cluster meeting OCHA, Nairobi 20 November 2012 WASH Cluster Somalia What is GHD Global event marked 15 th of October each year First celebrated on 15 th October 2008 Initiative of the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap (PPPHW) The PPPHW aims to give families, schools, and communities in developing countries the power to prevent diarrhoea and respiratory infections by supporting the universal promotion and practice of proper hand washing with soap at critical times Why GHD? This simple activity could save more lives than any vaccine or medical intervention,preventing the spread of infection and keeping children in school. Hand washing with soap is the most effective & inexpensive way to prevent diarrheal & acute respiratory infections, which take the lives of millions of children in developing countries. Although people around the world wash their hands with water, many do not wash their hands with soap at critical moments, including after going to the toilet and before handling or eating food. The challenge is to transform handwashing with soap from an abstract good idea into an automatic behaviour carried out in homes, schools, workplaces and communities. Why GHD? Water Supply Water Quality Handwashing WASH interventions critical for child survival Source: Meta-analysis by Fewtrell & Colford, 2004; Handwashing data by Curtis & Cairncross, 2003, Updated sanitation data by Cairncross, 2008 Sanitation Hygiene % reduction in morbidity from diarrhoeal diseases Country Somalia Somalia: Celebrations took place notably in IDP camps and included HWWS demonstrations, outreach sessions, t-shirt and soap distributions.

12 ABRIEF CLTS PRESENTATION TO SOMALIA WASH CLUSTER 20 TH NOV What is Community Led Total Sanitation? It s a community-led / driven approach Involves/affects everyone in communities and addresses total elimination of open defecation Collective community decision & collective local action are keys in CLTS It heavily relies on the element of shame, disgust and fear Its non subsidy approach Social solidarity and cooperation are in abundance Actions are locally decided and don't depend on external subsidies, prescriptions or pressure Natural Leaders emerge from collective local actions who lead future collective initiatives Often don t follow externally determined mode of development and blue print Local diversity and innovations are main elements What is the global sanitation scenario today? With the current trend surely not all countries would achieve MDG targets and for many it might take decades Most efforts of sanitation till date are outsider designed, prescribed and emphasis heavily on latrine construction rather than collective hygiene behaviour change Often less than 50% of costlier latrines built with subsidy are used for the purpose they were built Difference between traditional sanitation approach & CLTS Area of major shift Traditional sanitation promotion CLTS approach Major emphasis given on Toilet construction Empowering people Mode of learning Verbal Visual Role of community Outsider s role Major outcome Passive recipientof ideas, technologies & subsidies Teaching,advising, prescribing & supplying hardware Increased number of latrines Active analystand innovators Facilitating a process of change & empowerment ODF communities & no shit in the open Toilet design are those of Outside engineers Insiders& community engineers Indicators of measurements No. of toilets built No. of ODF communities 1

13 Difference between traditional sanitation approach & CLTS Areas of Major Shift Social Solidarity & community cooperation Emergency of natural leaders Community dependency on external agencies Pace of positive outcome Extent of success measured by Traditional Sanitation Approach Not Much Hardly any Persistent & increased Slow / medium (resource rich) Outsiders project doc such as log frame CLTS Approaches In abundance Many including women & marginalized Reduced Faster / fairly fast Insiders collective satisfaction TYPES OF CLTS TRIGGERING OUTCOMES 1. Situation 1: Matchbox in a Petrol Station Taraq Yaala Kaalin Shidaal 2. Situation 2: Promising Flames Raja Holac 3. Situation 3: Scattered Sparks Hilaac Firirsan 4. Situation 4: Damp Match box Taraq Qoyan SITUATION IN SOMALIA 1. There are over 100 UNICEF trained CLTS TOT s in NWZ (Somaliland), SEZ (Puntland) and CSZ (South Central). (INGO s & LNGO s) 2. There are 8 UNICEF local partners implementing CLTS in NWZ (6)and NEZ(2) 3. The line Ministries in Somaliland and Puntlandstrongly support the CLTS concept 4. Although CLTS is still relatively new in Somalia, there are good success stories reported from different zones 5. Trained TOT s and triggered communities appreciate the positive impact of CLTS international and national staff were brought to Kenya for a 10 days learning exchange visit. CHALLENGES OBSERVED IN SOMALIA 1. Lack of strong WASH cluster coordination mechanism 2. Most trained TOT s from the INGO s / DPs are not the decision makers of their organizations National staff. 3. Most INGO / DPs in Somalia have not embraced CLTS in their WASH programs. 4. Different sanitation promotion approach is used by different WASH partners. 5. There are no CLTS best practice sharing forum for partners 6. LNGO s implementing CLTS lack appropriate support from their international partners, so as to go through the stages of achieving ODF status. 7. It was observed during the trainings, International staff don t come to training workshops organized inside Somalia. They tend to send a national staff who has some limitations. The Ethical Challenges of Development The challenges are personal, professional and institutional. We and our normal views and reflexes are the problem. They, people in communities, are the solution. Serious unlearning is entailed, and then continuous learning, adapting, improvising and innovating to enable the poor to become an active partner in development and not remain as passive recipient. These changes of understanding and behaviourapply at all levels Ministers, senior officials, staff in funding agencies, and Government and NGO staff. 2

14 Fundamental and Non Negotiable Principles of Rural CLTS For a start; No subsidy for hardware (not for the poorest or anyone else) No blueprint design (only people s designs, not engineers ) People first: they can do it Facilitate, don t provide Go slow at first for faster later What are our challenges today? How to have many players in CLTS activities in Somalia Can we have a forum for CLTS where partners can share experiences and are able to network with other like minded organizations in Africa / Globally. Can we develop couple of hundreds of Open Defecation Free Communities as learning laboratories of CLTS in Somalia? How to develop Natural Leaders as Community Consultants for quick scaling up of CLTS. How to enhance emergence of innovative local institutions as champions of CLTS? How can we involve local communities as active partners of research in technology options and in sanitation marketing? THANKS Please, let s STOP communities from eating their own SHIT Yes we can!, Yes they can! 3
