West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

exception of regional CWSA offices that are relatively well provisioned for in terms of both staff and operational budgets) is a constant in any analysis of challenges to the sector DAs DWSTs WSDBs WATSANs and area mechanics all suffer from a lack of inherent skills in the population made worse by a failure to institutionalise a proper national capacity development scheme Training and capacity building is almost entirely ad hoc and project-related

bull Main sector institutions Burkina Fasobull Though the ultimate responsibilities over a number of small towns and the villages located within
the boundaries of urban communes are unclear sector organisation is relatively well defined with a separa tion of functions between a number of key institutionsThe Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources is the ultimate authority for water supply and sanitation issues in rural areas and the National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA) is responsible for urban areas
bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning
bull The Regional Directorates for Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources coordinate planning resources and activities at regional level
bull The National Office for Water and Sanitation and the private sector operate some dimensions of water services in a selected number of communes (local government units)
bull International donors (GTZ [German international cooperation organisation] World Bank the Agence Franccedilaise de Deacuteveloppement (AFD) (French Development Agency) Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) the European Union (EU) etc) finance about 90 of the national water budget

bull STATUS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS FOR CIVIL SOCIETY SECTOR WATER AND SANITATION IN WEST AFRICA
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull Few CSOs and groupings meet minimum standards for administrative financial and even associative
bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
SWOT analysis of all these categories of collectives suggest the following recommendations
bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

PROPOSITION DrsquoAXES DE COLLABORATION AVEC LA COALITION EAU AUTOUR DU PLAIDOYER A MENER Les reacuteflexions animeacutees dans les diffeacuterents pays font ressortir un certain nombre de preacutealables avant de travailler sur du plaidoyer agrave porter par les collectifs drsquoOSC au cours des anneacutees agrave venir
1Lrsquoameacutelioration des connaissances des OSC du Sud sur les enjeux AEPA (nationaux et internationaux) et lrsquoappui agrave la participation des collectifs aux deacutebats eacutechanges et reacuteflexions agrave lrsquoeacutechelle nationale sous reacutegionale et internationale
2Le renforcement des connaissances des OSC et leurs regroupements sur les leacutegislations politiques et strateacutegies nationales par des activiteacutes drsquoinformation et de formation agrave mettre en œuvre par les collectifs
3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes
5La consolidation et lrsquoameacutelioration de lrsquoefficaciteacute des collectifs nationaux par lrsquoameacutelioration des meacutecanismes de financement le renforcement des capaciteacutes (plaidoyer lobbying communication) et lrsquoameacutelioration de la gouvernance interne
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull STATUS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS FOR CIVIL SOCIETY SECTOR WATER AND SANITATION IN WEST AFRICA
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull Few CSOs and groupings meet minimum standards for administrative financial and even associative
bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
SWOT analysis of all these categories of collectives suggest the following recommendations
bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

exception of regional CWSA offices that are relatively well provisioned for in terms of both staff and operational budgets) is a constant in any analysis of challenges to the sector DAs DWSTs WSDBs WATSANs and area mechanics all suffer from a lack of inherent skills in the population made worse by a failure to institutionalise a proper national capacity development scheme Training and capacity building is almost entirely ad hoc and project-related

bull Main sector institutions Burkina Fasobull Though the ultimate responsibilities over a number of small towns and the villages located within
the boundaries of urban communes are unclear sector organisation is relatively well defined with a separa tion of functions between a number of key institutionsThe Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources is the ultimate authority for water supply and sanitation issues in rural areas and the National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA) is responsible for urban areas
bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning
bull The Regional Directorates for Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources coordinate planning resources and activities at regional level
bull The National Office for Water and Sanitation and the private sector operate some dimensions of water services in a selected number of communes (local government units)

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

the boundaries of urban communes are unclear sector organisation is relatively well defined with a separa tion of functions between a number of key institutionsThe Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources is the ultimate authority for water supply and sanitation issues in rural areas and the National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA) is responsible for urban areas
bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning
bull The Regional Directorates for Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources coordinate planning resources and activities at regional level
bull The National Office for Water and Sanitation and the private sector operate some dimensions of water services in a selected number of communes (local government units)

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country

SWOT analysis of all these categories of collectives suggest the following recommendations
bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it

academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

the boundaries of urban communes are unclear sector organisation is relatively well defined with a separa tion of functions between a number of key institutionsThe Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources is the ultimate authority for water supply and sanitation issues in rural areas and the National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA) is responsible for urban areas
bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning
bull The Regional Directorates for Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources coordinate planning resources and activities at regional level
bull The National Office for Water and Sanitation and the private sector operate some dimensions of water services in a selected number of communes (local government units)

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Few CSOs and groupings meet minimum standards for administrative financial and even associative
bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country

SWOT analysis of all these categories of collectives suggest the following recommendations
bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Few CSOs and groupings meet minimum standards for administrative financial and even associative
bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country

SWOT analysis of all these categories of collectives suggest the following recommendations
bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants

2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

bull WSSCCbull WSSCC is a people-centred organization and therefore gathers individuals who
collectively are part of a great WASH movement It is the people - rather than the organization - who make the real difference Being a WSSCC member means being a part of a global peer network committed to improve sanitation hygiene and water worldwide

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventory
Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it

Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum

assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Re-focus of Inventorybull A number of questions that need to be answered to help develop a CB program
bull A study would help identify which learning and knowledge platforms the program should be part of to make sure that the knowledge and learning created during WA-WASH are part of a bigger picture and to make sure that the steps and learning taken during this program are known by the sector
bull After having identified the platforms the assessment will look in the capacity of those platforms to be a place of exchange of information These platforms will play their role in the WASH sector It will help in identifying capacity gaps and the program would then build capacity of the selected platforms mainly through the knowledge management activity handled by IRC
bull One important point is that the study should not limit itself to NGOs platform but should include any kind of learning platform existing on WASH in each of the 3 countries Burkina Ghana and Niger and eventually Mali if and when activities are allow back We agreed that this is an important aspect of capacity building and IRC should go ahead with it
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

bull STATUS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS FOR CIVIL SOCIETY SECTOR WATER AND SANITATION IN WEST AFRICA
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Few CSOs and groupings meet minimum standards for administrative financial and even associative
bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country

SWOT analysis of all these categories of collectives suggest the following recommendations
bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Capacity Building Settingbull WAWASH includes a CB component geared towards decentralised organisations (IRC) and
academic institutions (Unesco) in each country and intra-regional organisations (FIU)
bull While developing the workplan in each country last year it became clear each partner would carry on CB activities to implement its part of the programme The planned CB activities are in direct relation with each partnerrsquos project and essential to the success of the WAWASH programme
bull WAWASH also includes the assessment of WASH capacities of governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations (conducted by IWA) and the assessment of capacities of WASH Learning amp sharing platforms (conducted by IRC) in each country Based on these assessments it will be possible to identify the gaps in planning and construction operation and financing social mobilisation as well as gaps in learning and sharing information and knowledge in each country Then based on each partnerrsquos CB plan it will be possible to identify the gaps that our programme will address by August 2015 and to figure out overall WAWASH contribution to meet capacity needs
bull WAWASH seeks to develop approaches methods tools and capacities that will last after the programme ends (on top of infrastructure) It means that the CB materials developed under WAWASH should be made available to others and benefit not only to the direct audience targets each partner will reach through its own activities In order to embed and to scale-up WAWASH CB one can seek for the integration of WAWASH trainings into existing curricula and when possible the attendance of non WAWASH partners to the training sessions each partner will organise Other options are possible and will be discussed in the course of the forum
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

Capacity Building Roadmapbull During the first 2 days of the forum (16 amp 17) IWA and IRC will present their
assessment of WASH capacity gaps and all WA WASH partners will present their CB plan for each country where they work It will be a good opportunity to touch base on each partnerrsquos project and on the potential of our programme to bridge some capacity gaps WAWASH partners will also discuss various options to levy our CB activities and ensure they survive WAWASH Finally the aim is to reach an agreement on a sharing mechanism (giving all of us access to all CB materials) and on a peer-review process allowing synergies when relevant
bull At the end of these 2 days a CB framework is designed for BF (and possibly for the other countries) as well as a strategy to enlarge our audience and levy our CB activities
bull In parallel to the internal forum IWA is organising a side event in order to validate the assessment of WASH capacities in BF with local stakeholders
bull The last day of the meeting consists in an open forum where assessments of gaps in BF and the WAWASH CB framework for BF are exposed to local stakeholders (from high level to CBOs including academictraining institutes) A round-table discussion will be facilitated to cover the different leverage options envisaged by WAWASH partners

the boundaries of urban communes are unclear sector organisation is relatively well defined with a separa tion of functions between a number of key institutionsThe Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources is the ultimate authority for water supply and sanitation issues in rural areas and the National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA) is responsible for urban areas
bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning
bull The Regional Directorates for Agriculture Fisheries and Water Resources coordinate planning resources and activities at regional level
bull The National Office for Water and Sanitation and the private sector operate some dimensions of water services in a selected number of communes (local government units)

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
bull Collectives face funding difficulties and the bulk of their operations are financed from outside the country

bullConsolidate the collective representation of CSOs WASH sector and skills to drive more efficiently operations for advocacy (find more synergy and complementarity between the existing collective)bullEnhance the contribution of collective CSOs within the collective multi-sector actors WASH (review modes of representation to the effectiveness of the contribution)bullStrengthen the influence of advisory bodies set up by State to act as real bodies regulating the sector

1Lrsquoameacutelioration des connaissances des OSC du Sud sur les enjeux AEPA (nationaux et internationaux) et lrsquoappui agrave la participation des collectifs aux deacutebats eacutechanges et reacuteflexions agrave lrsquoeacutechelle nationale sous reacutegionale et internationale
2Le renforcement des connaissances des OSC et leurs regroupements sur les leacutegislations politiques et strateacutegies nationales par des activiteacutes drsquoinformation et de formation agrave mettre en œuvre par les collectifs
3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes
5La consolidation et lrsquoameacutelioration de lrsquoefficaciteacute des collectifs nationaux par lrsquoameacutelioration des meacutecanismes de financement le renforcement des capaciteacutes (plaidoyer lobbying communication) et lrsquoameacutelioration de la gouvernance interne
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

PROPOSITION DrsquoAXES DE COLLABORATION AVEC LA COALITION EAU AUTOUR DU PLAIDOYER A MENER Les reacuteflexions animeacutees dans les diffeacuterents pays font ressortir un certain nombre de preacutealables avant de travailler sur du plaidoyer agrave porter par les collectifs drsquoOSC au cours des anneacutees agrave venir
1Lrsquoameacutelioration des connaissances des OSC du Sud sur les enjeux AEPA (nationaux et internationaux) et lrsquoappui agrave la participation des collectifs aux deacutebats eacutechanges et reacuteflexions agrave lrsquoeacutechelle nationale sous reacutegionale et internationale
2Le renforcement des connaissances des OSC et leurs regroupements sur les leacutegislations politiques et strateacutegies nationales par des activiteacutes drsquoinformation et de formation agrave mettre en œuvre par les collectifs
3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes
5La consolidation et lrsquoameacutelioration de lrsquoefficaciteacute des collectifs nationaux par lrsquoameacutelioration des meacutecanismes de financement le renforcement des capaciteacutes (plaidoyer lobbying communication) et lrsquoameacutelioration de la gouvernance interne
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions

2Le renforcement des connaissances des OSC et leurs regroupements sur les leacutegislations politiques et strateacutegies nationales par des activiteacutes drsquoinformation et de formation agrave mettre en œuvre par les collectifs
3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes
5La consolidation et lrsquoameacutelioration de lrsquoefficaciteacute des collectifs nationaux par lrsquoameacutelioration des meacutecanismes de financement le renforcement des capaciteacutes (plaidoyer lobbying communication) et lrsquoameacutelioration de la gouvernance interne
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

PROPOSITION DrsquoAXES DE COLLABORATION AVEC LA COALITION EAU AUTOUR DU PLAIDOYER A MENER Les reacuteflexions animeacutees dans les diffeacuterents pays font ressortir un certain nombre de preacutealables avant de travailler sur du plaidoyer agrave porter par les collectifs drsquoOSC au cours des anneacutees agrave venir
1Lrsquoameacutelioration des connaissances des OSC du Sud sur les enjeux AEPA (nationaux et internationaux) et lrsquoappui agrave la participation des collectifs aux deacutebats eacutechanges et reacuteflexions agrave lrsquoeacutechelle nationale sous reacutegionale et internationale
2Le renforcement des connaissances des OSC et leurs regroupements sur les leacutegislations politiques et strateacutegies nationales par des activiteacutes drsquoinformation et de formation agrave mettre en œuvre par les collectifs
3Le renforcement des capaciteacutes techniques des OSC pour un meilleur apport agrave lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes de formation et drsquoinformation des OSC membres A cet effet les collectifs pourront eacutegalement conduire des opeacuterations de capitalisation drsquoexpeacuteriences de leurs membres Ces activiteacutes pourront se mener agrave plusieurs eacutechelles nationale Sud-Sud et Sud-Nord Certains thegravemes sont deacutejagrave identifieacutes le changement de comportements des populations la gestion durable des infrastructures les pratiques de GIRE etc
4Le deacuteveloppement des activiteacutes drsquoinformations sur les opportuniteacutes de financement Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs de deacutevelopper les activiteacutes drsquoinformation de leurs membres sur les opportuniteacutes nationales et internationales de financement de leurs activiteacutes
5La consolidation et lrsquoameacutelioration de lrsquoefficaciteacute des collectifs nationaux par lrsquoameacutelioration des meacutecanismes de financement le renforcement des capaciteacutes (plaidoyer lobbying communication) et lrsquoameacutelioration de la gouvernance interne
West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

bull The General Directorate for Water Resources is the national body for policy development and planning

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society
bull Overall CSOs are recognized and involved directly (through their collective) or indirectly (through multi-stakeholder group) in the process of national decision But their ability to influence and effectiveness in decision-making bodies remain very low by a number of weaknesses helliphellip

bull Fragmentation of several CSOs in multi-sectoral groupbull Absence of collective national WASH sector specificbull Emergence of collective on shaky objective and they
are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions

bull The important role of civil society organizations in the management of resources is now widely recognized by all stakeholders All countries in the sub-region of West Africa that have been covered by this study (Benin Burkina Faso Mali Niger and Senegal) have gradually established a regulatory framework and operational mechanisms for the exchange between government and civil society

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

West Africa Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene (USAID WA-WASH) Program
Pour le plaidoyer les ateliers de restitution organiseacutes dans les diffeacuterents pays ont identifieacute les axes prioritaires suivants
1La manifestation et la concreacutetisation de la volonteacute politique et financiegravere pour lrsquoAEPA Il srsquoagit drsquoœuvrer pour que les pouvoirs publics nationaux reconnaissent que lrsquoaccegraves agrave lrsquoeau et
2lrsquoassainissement est un investissement neacutecessaire aux autres secteurs Il faudra alors militer pour que les ressources consacreacutees par les Etats aux investissements dans le secteur de lrsquoeau
3potable et de lrsquoassainissement soient en coheacuterence avec lrsquoimportance du secteur pour toutes les composantes du deacuteveloppement humain durable
4La concreacutetisation du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage aux collectiviteacutes locales et communauteacutes de base Dans tous les pays lrsquoEtat dans le cadre de la deacutecentralisation a pris lrsquooption du transfert de la maicirctrise drsquoouvrage (reacutealisation etou gestion des infrastructures) aux collectiviteacutes locales ou aux communauteacutes de base Mais la reacutealiteacute dans les pays ougrave la deacutecentralisation est encore reacutecente (Beacutenin Burkina Faso Mali et Niger) reacutevegravele que ce transfert de compeacutetences tarde agrave se concreacutetiser avec des actes comme le transfert du patrimoine le transfert des ressources financiegraveres le transfert des ressources humaines et le renforcement des capaciteacutes des deacutecideurs locaux
5La mise en place drsquoun dispositif concerteacute de production et validation des statistiques nationales du secteur AEPA Dans plusieurs pays les statistiques nationales font lrsquoobjet drsquoincompreacutehension et de contestation entre lrsquoEtat qui les produit et les autres acteurs concerneacutes par le secteur Il est donc important dans le cadre de la promotion drsquoune bonne gouvernance du secteur que toutes les cateacutegories drsquoacteurs concerneacutes participent au processus de production et de validation des statistiques
6Le renforcement du controcircle citoyen de lrsquoaction publique dans le secteur Il srsquoagit pour les collectifs drsquoOSC de mettre en place des outils pour faire une analyse critique de lrsquoaction publique tant au plan technique qursquoau plan financier Lrsquoun des principaux eacuteleacutements drsquoappreacuteciation est lrsquoimportance des investissements deacutevolus au secteur dans les budgets nationaux et lrsquoeacutevaluation de lrsquoincidence financiegravere et sociale de la non priorisation du secteur dans les budgets nationaux Dans ce sens la mobilisation des collectifs drsquoOSC autour du Livre Bleu en tant qursquoinstrument de mesure et de plaidoyer est un atout

are often made because of government incentives but rarely by own CSO members structuring to influence bodies and policy decisions
