Description of Services

A.

Introduction

The consultant team will consist of the following 3-person entities: provincial support
team (PST); district support teams (DST), one for each district; and community facilitator
teams (CFT), four for each district. The consultant teams will consist of qualified, experienced
consultants in the areas of water and sanitation engineering, community development and
mobilization, sanitation and hygiene behavioral change (SHBC), institutional capacity
strengthening, administration, financial management, training, and monitoring and evaluation.
On each team of consultants, one will be designated as the team coordinator/leader. That
person, in addition to his/her respective technical tasks, will coordinate the activities of the
other team members, including coordination, support and supervision of community
facilitators, facilitating partnerships between villages, community implementation teams (CITs)
and local government agencies, subproject quality control, and progress and financial
reporting.
B.

Objectives

The RSTs will be supervised by and report to the Central Support Team (CST) in the
CPMU, and work closely with provincial coordinating committees/secretariats, District Project
Management Units (DPMUs), district coordinating committees, sub district coordinating
committees and the communities. The RSTs will be responsible for assisting with project
management and providing technical support at local level, and assisting the communities in
the planning, implementation, and monitoring of their Community Action Plans (CAP).
The procurement of the RSTs will be in accordance with ADBs Guidelines on the Use
of Consultants by Asian Development Bank and Its Borrowers and using the quality and costbased selection (QCBS) process, with participation of provincial governments in the selection
process.
The RSTs will be contracted for period of 24 months. Periodic performance evaluations
will be conducted by the Provincial Project Secretariat and report to CPMU; consultant outputs
will be monitored, and poor performance will result in individual staff replacement or contract
termination. Interested bidders are encouraged to form consortia of private companies and
NGOs (especially those with rural water supply and sanitation sectoral development
experience); DSTs in particular should be associated with a local NGO.
Based at the provincial level, the three-person PST will consist of specialists in: a)
administration, finance and monitoring; b) water and sanitation engineering; and c)
institutional capacity assessment and training. The primary purpose of the PST is to provide
technical support to the district and community level consultants. The PST is not intended to
either manage or supervise the activities of the lower-level consultants. They are based at the
provincial level primarily because they will provide technical assistance to multiple districts.
DSTs will provide this function at the district level, and support the district project
management units (DPMUs) and to the CFTs working directly with participating communities.
The DST will consist of three specialists in community mobilization, water sanitation
engineering, and SHBC. The most suitable of these three consultants will be designated the
DST coordinator.
In addition to the three DST members, a process monitoring consultant (PMC) will also
be based in the DST office. To retain their independence, the PMC in each district will be
recruited under the Central Support Team (CST) contract and report directly to the CPMU.
The community facilitator teams will be the main point of contact and interaction
between the Project and participating communities. CFTs will provide services specifically in
the socialization and information campaign, in community PRA and PHAST, CAP formulation,

and to monitor and report on implementation progress.


Facilitators will be recruited by the provincial/ district government , associations
between local consulting firms and local NGOs, in consultation with local government; they
will advertise in local and national newspapers, recruit from local universities, NGOs, and
other projects, conduct training and placement. It is anticipated that CFT members will be
recruited individually and/or drawn from local non-government organizations (NGOs).
Facilitators should be local (from the district/sub districts), possess relevant local language
skills, and must be willing to reside at the sub district or village level. They should have
university degrees (S1) in civil engineering, (rural) sociology, or public health, with some
minimum experience in community development from universities or with local NGOs. Women
will be encouraged to apply, in particular for hygiene promotion since this will involve
programs with primary school children and mothers of infants and young children.
Given the importance of the facilitators to the overall success of the Project, an initial
three-month training course will be given to potential candidates before they are selected, to
be followed by refresher courses given from periodically, to meet specific needs that will be
identified as the project progresses. The refresher training may also be used to train additional
facilitators to deal with unforeseen demand, as well as to address facilitator attrition that may
occur over the project implementation period.
The training will be given by the professional training service providers, contracted by
the Project. During the training, candidates will be assessed by trainers, and selected
according to their ability to fulfill the demanding requirements of being the project point-person
in each project community.
The objectives of the training are to:
improve social, management and technical knowledge and skills of facilitator
candidates, to ensure that they have the necessary skills, capabilities, management
and inter-personal tools to successfully carry out a community-managed project;
provide all candidates with a basic understanding of water supply and sanitation
technical and environmental matters, and community-driven, participatory
management and sanitation and hygiene issues that are important to project
success;
assist candidates to better understand and more readily facilitate community
activities, using the PHAST methodology; and
develop within all candidates the technical understanding and training skills required
to successfully assist communities in practical skills needed to design and build
high quality water and sanitation facilities, successfully integrating these efforts with
improvement in sanitation and hygiene behavior to reduce disease transmission
and improve health.
Facilitators successfully completing training will be assigned in teams of 3, consisting
of 1 community mobilization facilitator, 1 water supply and sanitation engineer, and 1
sanitation and hygiene promotion community facilitator. One senior facilitator with higher
qualifications/experience will be designated to lead the team. At least one member of the CFT
must be a woman.
The teams may cover more or less batches of 3-5 villages/CFT/year, according to the
size, remoteness, and geographic spread of the villages. Facilitators will report directly to the
DST, and will be paid a standardized salary by DST (men and women will receive equal
salary). Facilitators will also receive transportation allowance, materials allowance, and
insurance, among others.

community, and any disadvantaged and less vocal groups.
Work together with the other two CFT members to help the communities develop the
institutional framework, capacity and capability to successfully complete the CAP and
effectively implement the WSS system planning and construction, as well as the
community and school health programs.

Ensure that the concerns of all stakeholders as well as those disengaged or fringe
groups are represented in the development, public review and finalization of the
Community Action Plan. Provide appropriate support and guidance to CITs to develop
the CAPs.
Use participatory techniques to raise the knowledge and understanding about
community development, the necessity of co-financing project activities, and the
mobilization of community cash and local materials in the community. Regularly
remind the communities that funds will not be released and construction cannot start
until the agreed upon mobilization of community resources is complete, and then only
if the CITs continue to work with equitable representation of both men and women, and
poor and non-poor.
During the period immediately preceding construction, help the community to organize
and mobilize the required labor force needed to carry out construction in a timely and
effective manner.
Work with the CF/WSS Engineer to assist communities to properly organize
themselves and their material resources during the entire process of construction, and
provide training in non-technical aspects of O&M and financial management (including
setting and collecting water tariffs, bookkeeping, identifying future training needs,
participatory methods of decision-making related to future decisions about WSS facility
expansion planning, etc.), and the need for maintaining gender balance and equity in
decision making and management of WSS and health services.
Work with the CIT to establish policies and procedures for electing new members,
O&M, financial management, expansion planning, resolution of water disputes, and for
periodically updating their plans for the use of any remaining block grant funds.
Assist the DPMU and DST to gather lessons learned related to the community
development process, and make recommendations for improving project policies,
procedures and regulations related to establishing and empowering community-based
institutions that are gender balanced and equity based, so that all community
members have a voice and choice in establishing services, and equal opportunity to
access WSS/health services co-financed by the Project.

The CF/CME will also specialize in implementing the monitoring system at the village/
community level, and work closely with the PST Administration, Finance and Monitoring
Consultant in designing and implementing the impact and sustainability monitoring system at
village/community level. The facilitator will take primary responsibility for all data collection and
analysis related to the status of all project activities at village/community level. In particular,
the facilitator will:

Ensure that all data collection, processing and report production at village/
community level meets quality requirements and timelines.
Ensure that data and reports from villages are transmitted to the district level.
Meet with CITs to discuss their information needs, and to explain the purpose of
the system, and give a general description of the kind of physical, financial,
institutional, impact and sustainability data that needs to be collected and analyzed
to properly monitor project progress.
Assist in developing a list of important progress indicators to be monitored at the
community level. This will include events such as the formal selection of a village,
establishment of the CIT, community training activities, completion and approval of
the CAP, completion and approval of the DED, status of cash and in-kind
contributions, release of grant funds for construction, initiation of WSS
construction, completion of construction, initiation of school health program, etc.
and impact and sustainability indicators.
Organize training of village/ community level personnel in all aspects of impact and
sustainability monitoring based on village/ community reporting systems.

Community Facilitators for Water Supply, Sanitation and Quality Control

The CF/WSS engineers are responsible for helping communities to choose, plan, build,
operate, maintain and repair improved WSS facilities that will be co-financed by the Project 3.
A very important focus of this work is helping communities to develop the technical and
management skills they will need to successfully carry out those tasks. They will promote,
oversee and support community water supply, health and sanitation activities, and work in
close collaboration with the local CIT, especially the Technical Unit. They will have the
following responsibilities:
Work closely with the local communities, especially the Community Implementation Team,
to carry out an initial Rapid Technical Assessment (RTA) of locally available water
resources that could be used in an improved water system, and an assessment of existing
WSS facilities in the community.
With the other CFT members, participate in PHAST sessions with villagers (particularly
those identified as local technical resources by the community) to help the community
identify and solve their water and sanitation related problems, using participatory
techniques to raise the knowledge and understanding about the critical linkages between
improved water supply, and hygiene and sanitation behavior.
Based on the RTA findings, develop a set of feasible technology options, estimate the cost
of each, participate in the presentation of RTA results to communities, and assist them to
choose the option the best fits their circumstances (e.g., water demand, desired level of
service, and ability to pay for construction and subsequent O&M).
Develop the preliminary design for water supply and minimum required public sanitation
facilities in schools, initial environmental evaluation, construction cost estimates and initial
tariff estimates, and discuss the results with the community.
After incorporating modifications desired by the community, present the final detailed
engineering designs, costs and proposed water tariff rates to the CITs, so they fully
understand the financial and other implications of their commitment to participate in the
Project.
Ensure that concerns of all stakeholders as well as those disengaged or fringe groups are
represented in the development, public review and finalization of the Community Action
Plan. Provide appropriate support and guidance to CITs to develop the CAPs.
Assure that activities proposed as part of the CAP to support health and sanitation meet
the criteria and are aimed at reducing the incidence of water borne disease. Review all
CAP activities relating to WSS technical and management issues.
Make sure that the CAP is submitted to the DPMU for review and approval, and help the
community respond to any DPMU requests for clarification in a timely fashion to expedite
the CAP approval process and eventual disbursement of block grant funds to the
communitys project bank account.
Assist the community to tender contracts for non-local materials and equipment (and civil
works, if required) using accepted project procurement procedures to insure that no
irregularities occur, so that block grant funds are expeditiously disbursed as they are
needed to finance ongoing project activities.
Provide technical training to community members in reading simple engineering drawings,
understanding technical design limitations, etc., including specialized technical training to
CIT staff and community members at large in the interpretation of engineering drawings,
and other technical training as necessary.
