Community Program Application The purpose of this application is for communities that have not worked with EWB-USA before to apply to start a new program with EWB-USA. This application must be prepared by the community. While partner organizations and individuals are welcome to assist with completing and submitting the application, community representatives should be actively involved in the application process. Once submitted, the application will take 6 to 8 weeks to complete the review process. If the review team has additional follow-up questions, the applicant will be given one week to respond. Only completed applications, which include the following three items, will be reviewed: 1. Completed application form 2. Community Statement of Intent signed by a community representative 3. Community Letter of Endorsement OR NGO Letter of Endorsement (If project will be owned by non-governmental organization) Goals of Application 1. Ensure that the community and the local partner organization are an appropriate fit based on EWB-USA s criteria. 2. Establish basic expectations of the general roles and responsibilities for all partners 3. Gather information about the community and its capacity, as well as the community-identified needs. 4. Identify any major concerns or issues with this proposed community program, such as travel safety. Establishing Expectations: Roles and Responsibilities EWB-USA community programs involve three or four entities 1) EWB-USA Chapter; 2) Community (represented by a Community-Based Organization, such as a water board, development committee, etc.); 3) Local Partner Organization based in-country, such as a local NGO; and/or 4) the local government authority. The general roles and responsibilities of each partner are listed below; however, all parties will sign agreements which outline the roles and responsibilities during the assessment and implementation phases of the project. EWB-USA Chapter Roles and Responsibilities Around the world, EWB-USA partners with communities to work alongside them to meet their basic human needs. EWB-USA provides an opportunity for communities to partner with a network of over 15,900 EWB-USA Chapter volunteer members. Members have a range of expertise in engineering and related fields. Chapters work with communities to address infrastructure issues through assessment, analysis of possible solutions, design, construction, as well as monitoring and evaluation.

The chapter and the community agree to a five-year (5) partnership and work together to identify and address infrastructure needs within the community during this time period. In addition to the volunteer expertise mentioned above, EWB-USA provides funding for part of the capital expense only, such as construction materials, skilled labor, etc. Engineering volunteers will visit the community occasionally (13 times per year), and typically collaborate with small communities (50-2000 residents) on infrastructure projects that cost less than $75,000 to implement. EWB-USA Chapter Roles and Responsibilities 1. Design and construction management 2. Involve and seek input from all partners during the design phase 3. Provide project-specific education and training, including operation and maintenance training and manual 4. Communicate with project partners, including local NGO, local government, and community contacts 5. Technical data collection to complete the project design 6. Identify contributions that the chapter can make to the project construction expenses (examples include fundraising, assistance with community grant applications, etc.) Community Roles and Responsibilities The expected roles and responsibilities of the partner community are outlined in the Community Statement of Intent (CSI). This statement demonstrates the community s acceptance of the requirements to work within our organizational community-development model. A community member, on behalf of the community leadership, must sign the Community Statement of Intent. This should not be signed by the local NGO or government partner. This confirmation of acceptance is required for the application to be considered for approval. Community roles and responsibilities include: 1. Communicate with EWB-USA chapter contacts directly and frequently, as determined by the project schedule, including feedback throughout the assessment and design process; 2. Contact the EWB-USA chapter contact immediately to discuss any changes in priority projects or the project scope; 3. Inform chapter of any changes to the security/safety situation; 4. Identify community contacts to accompany the EWB-USA chapter during site visits; 5. Allow EWB-USA chapter to communicate directly with all interested community groups in order to get pertinent input to the development of the project(s); 6. Contribute a minimum 5% of the capital construction costs in cash for each project before construction begins; 7. Provide in-kind contributions at no cost to the EWB-USA chapter (examples include: skilled and unskilled labor, local materials, borrowed equipment, lodging and food for chapter, etc.); 8. Develop and present to the EWB-USA chapter a formal system of responsibility for the long-term operations and maintenance of the project before construction begins; 9. Establish and administer the funding mechanism to pay for 100% of the operations and maintenance upon project completion and in the future; 10. Ensure that all implemented infrastructure in this program represent community-wide priorities and that all community members will have the opportunity to benefit from the project per the terms of use established by the community; 11. Actively organize and involve community members in this program;

12. Ensure that all infrastructure constructed in this program will be owned by community (or Local Partner); 13. Be available to assist with additional technical data collection not completed by EWB-USA chapter during site assessment trips; 14. Identify at least one strong local non-governmental or governmental partnering organization. Click here to print and sign the Community Statement of Intent. Local Partner Organization(s) Roles and Responsibilities EWB-USA community programs have at least one Local Partner Organization, which may be a Local NGO and/or a Municipality/City Government. Local Partner Organization roles and responsibilities include: 1. Provide capacity-building for community members/cbo to establish continuing support of the infrastructure, as needed 2. Provide project-specific training for community members/cbo, as needed 3. Assist in ongoing monitoring and evaluation of project(s) 4. Identify contributions to the project (examples include: funding, materials procurement, heavy equipment, arrange translation services, other logistical support) 5. Inform EWB-USA chapter about changes to security/safety situation 6. Visit community often, and as needed, for project progress 7. Support site preparations 8. Accompany EWB-USA travel team in the community during visits, as needed 9. Serve as a liaison between chapter and community 10. Assist with additional technical data collection not completed by the EWB-USA chapter during site assessment trips. Community Letter of Endorsement The goal of this required letter is to verify that the community is requesting the partnership with EWBUSA and is actively involved in the program proposal. This letter can come in the form of an e-mail, scanned document, fax, or a transcribed phone call or community meeting (example 1 and example 2). This letter must also state that the community is committed to contributing the required minimum 5% cash contribution towards the construction costs of the proposed project. In their own words, community members should address the following: 1. What is the community identified need? 2. How did the community learn about EWB-USA? 3. Why is the community requesting a partnership with EWB-USA versus another organization? 4. What will the community contribute to the proposed project? 5. What has already been done to solve the problem? OR NGO Letter of Endorsement (If project will be owned by non-governmental organization) One of the key principles of EWB-USA s community development model is that we support communitydriven and community owned projects. Given this approach to community development, NGO-owned facilities (such as schools, orphanages, and health clinics) present a unique challenge to our organization because they are distinct from our other projects. First of all, these projects are typically funded by a local or international NGO. In addition, this NGO is typically advocating on behalf of a group of people who access the facility, such as children; however, this group may not be driving the proposed project or partnership with EWB-USA. Finally, the ultimate ownership of the project is not with a community, but

rather ownership lies with the partner NGO. While EWB-USA will continue to partner with these types of projects, we are concerned about their viability and sustainability, especially if outside donor funding is discontinued. Given these circumstances, as well as our desire to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of all projects, we have identified a similar set of requirements for NGO-owned facility proposals. The NGO Letter of Endorsement must address the following: 1. Describe the NGO s past and future commitment to the facility, including financial support. 2. Confirm that the facility is, or will be, legally registered and will be monitored by a government agency. 3. Describe the NGO and staff support for the proposed project, including taking primary responsibility for all operation and maintenance costs and logistics. 4. Explain the plans for providing skilled and/or unskilled labor for the proposed project. 5. Provide plans for the participation and engagement of the members of the surrounding community, if applicable. 6. State that the NGO is committed to contributing a minimum of 5% cash towards the constructions costs of the proposed project. 7. Identify any existing community linkages, such as Parent-Teacher Association or community support organizations. If possible, provide written endorsements from these organizations.
