Water and Sanitation Program : Learning Note |
| description |
In Tanzania, the Water and Sanitation
Program (WSP) has been supporting the Government of Tanzania
in 10 districts to increase access to improved sanitation.
This initiative to improve rural sanitation at large scale
combines Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), behavior
change communication, and sanitation marketing approaches,
and supports both local and national governments to develop
capacity to create sustainable change. In recent years,
there has been limited progress in establishing a
standardized, systematic monitoring system to track
sanitation and hygiene conditions in Tanzania. Manually
generated reports are used to capture data on an ad hoc
basis. Two challenges exist. First, even though it is
commonly used in fieldwork, manual data collection is always
subject to error. For example, a check is made in the wrong
box or numbers are added inaccurately. A certain level of
error is acceptable and is built into the interpretation of
data, but it is important to establish the exact level of
error in order to know how representative and accurate the
information is. Second, without a standardized framework,
comparing the data between districts or villages or
capturing an accurate picture of the current situation is
difficult. To increase standardization and accuracy of data
collection, WSP is working with local governments and CLTS
committees to implement community-based and managed
registers. The registers are designed to monitor progress
toward improved hygiene and sanitation at the household
level. The registers have been introduced by local
government at the sub-village level during CLTS triggering
and are the primary tool that the sub-village CLTS committee
uses to monitor progress. |
