Abau Coastal
Villages Water
Pump Project
Rural WASH Activity
The WASH policy (2015 - 2030), GESI policy (2015) and the Health Strategic policy (2020-
2030) call for improvement of the standard of living of the population in all communities and
for the provision of proper clean water and sanitation as a human basic service. Currently,
85% of the rural population has no proper clean water and lack of proper sanitation hence
contributing to all kinds of personal health issues that impact on the daily livelihood of
individuals, families and the general population of communities in Papua New Guinea.
The National Government through District Development Authorities (DDAs) and Local Level
Governments (LLGs) through the MTDs and PNG Vision 2050 and other policies with
priority goals set on the “Go Rural Service Delivery” policy in districts. District Development
Authorities (DDAs) and Local Level Governments (LLGs) have been tasked under such
policies to implement infrastructure developments in districts. Therefore potential co-funding
maybe sourced through donor partners and potentially from the Member of Parliament for
Abau District.
This project is the initial stage of assisting coastal villages in the Abau District who have not
had accessibility to sustainable clean and healthy water for drinking, cooking, washing and
other general purposes for centuries. The geographical location and the continuous dry
weather patterns along that part of the country make it difficult for storage of rain water for
the people. This problem therefore makes it even much more difficult for people to find
means and ways of accessing any form of uncontaminated water for consumption and for
general purpose usage hence routinely have to walk long distances in search of water thus
contributing to the daily hardships encountered especially by children, young girls and
women which ultimately compromise their safety and the general well-being of the
population in those villages.
This base line study will identify six (6) rural coastal villages in the Abau district who are
critically affected by lack of continuous accessibility to proper and clean water supply and
proper sanitation in their villages. In addition, this project will support the WASH policy
(2015), GESI policy (2015), the Health Strategic Plan (2020-2030) in line with the
Government’s Go Rural Service Delivery policy mechanisms to ensure that the six Abau
coastal villages will have accessibility to a sustainable water system at their door steps which
will not only contribute to the mitigation of different airborne and life time diseases, but also
improve the general standard of living of the people and create a healthy and conducive
environment for all.
A baseline survey study questionnaire will be formulated, pre-tested and utilized to collect
necessary data prior to the commencement of the project. The findings of the baseline study
will be used to identify and pin-point potential sites in the six villages where the water pumps
will be constructed. The findings will also be used to formulate an awareness and advocacy
program to prepare the village people in the project sites in terms of empowerment,
ownership and the long term benefits this project will deliver to the six selected coastal
villages in the Abau District.
The National Government through District Development Authorities (DDAs) and Local Level
Governments (LLGs) through the MTDs and PNG Vision 2050 and other policies with
priority goals set on the “Go Rural Service Delivery” policy in districts. District Development
This is supported by the WASH policy (2015 -2030), GESI policy (2015) and the Health
Strategic policy (2020-2030) which call for improvement of the standard of living of the
population in all communities and for the provision of proper clean water and sanitation as a
human basic service for all. Currently, 85% of the rural population has no proper clean water
and lack of proper sanitation hence contributing to all kinds of personal health issues that
impact on the daily livelihood of individuals, families and the general population of
communities in Papua New Guinea.
This project will identify six (6) rural coastal villages in the Abau district that are critically
affected by lack of continuous accessibility to proper and clean water supply and sanitation in
their villages. In addition, this project will support the WASH policy (2015 -2030), GESI
policy (2015), the Health Strategic Plan (2020-2030) and the Government’s Go Rural Service
Delivery policy mechanisms to ensure that the six Abau coastal villages will have
accessibility to a sustainable water system at their door steps which will not only contribute to
the mitigation of different airborne and life time diseases, but also improve the general
standard of living of the people.
The project will engage an identified experienced consultant to conduct a baseline survey
study in the initial stages of the project and submit a report of findings. The project will be
officially tendered through the normal national tender process for clients or reputable
companies to bid for the implementation of the project.
The sources of identifying potential clients to be engaged in the project will be identified
through the following processes:
The above instruments have been identified according to project procedural requirements and
information from the baseline study findings which will form the basis of the project
implementation processes and management cycle and taking into account the following
questions:
What does the EOI say about interested clients who apply for the project
implementation?
What does the terms of reference and job description for potential Consultants,
Contractors, Project Managers, Project Coordinators/Supervisors and Environmental
Health Inspectors imply?
4. Benefits
The Abau District villages may not solely benefit from this project but other stakeholders as well
including Communities, government, the private sector and also bilateral donor partners, non-
government organisations (NGOs), Faith based organisations (FBOs) and community based
organisations (CBOs) in a more holistic way. This project therefore, has been designed to benefit all
partners /clients in different ways listed below:
Community
To ensure the project contributes to the sustainable benefits for target population and to
support and strengthen the family unit as the central institution of social, spiritual, cultural
values and standard of living and for personal well-being. Some of these benefits are listed
below:
Government
This project supports government policies which enhance development initiatives in-line with
the PNG 2050 development goals therefore; the government is committed to pursuing human
development through such project in the following ways:
Private Sector
The private sector plays a significant role in service delivery in PNG in many different ways.
This is done especially through the partnership between the government and the private sector
to provide services and public infrastructure through the public private partnership (PPP)
policy hence in several ways the private sector benefits in the flowing ways:
Donor partners play a strong and decisive leadership in driving aid programs forward to
achieve sustainable development and economic growth. This is complemented by NGOs,
FBOs and CBOs which provide effective health and education service delivery through close
and sustainable partnership to complement government service delivery mechanisms and
through this partnership benefit in the following ways:
5. Feasibility
Schedule: The projected timeframe of the whole project is estimated to be two and a half
years. It is anticipated that the project will be fully completed and launched towards end of
June, 2019.
The total estimated cost of the project is five (5) million kina. Major sources of funding will
come from donor partners, example: The Incentive Fund or WaterAid and other funding
sources will come from the DDA, MP and LLG.
5.2 Constraints:
Manpower resources
Transport
Water pump equipment, e.g. drilling equipment, water pipes, electrical
equipment, digging equipment/machinery/tools, e.g. generator, fuel, lightings,
storage &
accommodation sheds vehicles, administrative & logistic office space,
stationary, etc.
Additional labour manpower (local)
No integration will be required however after the completion of the project, an assessment
report will be compiled highlighting gaps and incomplete work.
If the assessment report highlights incomplete work, additional funding and extension of the
project will have to be discussed to ensure that the project is fully completed.
6. Project Deliverables
6.1 Training Needs of Villager Caretaker for the Sustainable Water Pump
Training needs analysis (TNA) of the Caretaker will be conducted as part of the induction to
the project, so that relevant resources and training can be conducted for the sustainability and
preservation of the water pump by the villagers themselves. TNA will be conducted using
baseline survey questions which an expert consultant is hired to do. Data collected and
analysed in the TNA Report presented to the Project Officials will determine action in
training selected caretaker villagers. (See attached Questionnaire)
Communication tools will be applied such as translated flyer to be used for every home in the
six villages (see attached). Health posters will be posted at the main areas of the village such
as the church, community centre, bus stop, clinic or market.
The Project Plan which comprises of the delivery dates, delivery location and quantities are
provided in the table as attached.

8. Risk Management
The risk management matrix plan below has been developed to monitor the day to day
progress and management processes of the entire plan. This matrix includes the following:
This Risk Management Matrix will monitor anticipated problems that be encountered during
the initial stages of the implementation of the project proposal. It addresses anticipated
potential factors that may impact upon the delivery of the whole project.
A contingency plan will be developed to monitor these potential risks with relevant and
appropriate immediate strategies/approaches clearly outlined to mitigate the probability of
these issues happening thus impacting on the completion of the whole project as per the
timeframe/project schedule. The most major issues that need to be cautious of are:
9. Project Management
Planning and Implementation Phase
The Project Management Team will be responsible for the overall planning, organising and
controlling of the entire project with the assistance of the Project Manager who will be
carrying out supervision of the planning, implementing and controlling the project. The
Manager will play the role in all stages of the project to ensure its smooth completion
therefore will need to fully understand the overall rationale and operational requirements of
the project and report to the project management team on regular basis.
Abau Rural WASH Project Page 13
The project manager will be responsible for the full management of the project to make sure
that all tasks are delivered on time within budget. The project manager will also be
responsible for maintaining quality and risk reduction factors throughout the project. He will
also ensure that team members maintain a positive working environment.
The Work Plan ( refer to pages 8-9) which outlines the various tasks/activities involved,
individuals and team members engaged, timeframe, estimate costs and resources required as
per project management requirements.
Monitor and track progress, by having in place a periodic reporting system that
identifies the status of every activity in the project, for current reporting period as
indicated in the project timeframe schedule as well as for the entire project
Detect variation from the plan, by using exception and variation reports that provide
information on activities and resources that vary from what is expected
Take corrective action by examining alternatives and making modifications to the
schedule and resource usage to correct any detected deviation from the plan and;
Assess, approve and manage change.
This is to ensure that the entire project is effectively managed and once discrepancies are
identified, these issues are promptly rectified and the problems are solved quickly so that the
project is back on track and on target.
The project management team strictly enforces compliance as per project contractual
agreement signed by the implementing client, donor agency and the project management
team.
