Project Name: “Improving WASH for Rohingya Refugees Project (3rd phase)

Brief Summary of Project:
Since August 2017 an estimated 860,000 Rohingya have fled the violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, seeking safety in Cox’s Bazar District, south-eastern Bangladesh.  The ongoing situation in Myanmar still prevents their safe return.

For six years the Rohingya refugees have lived in ‘temporary’ camps in Ukhiya Upazila, Cox’s Bazar district.  After the outpouring of international concern at the time of their initial displacement, the plight of the Rohingya refugees has slipped from the world’s attention.  Today the Rohingya languish in pitiful living conditions, unable to return to their homes yet also unable to settle fully in Bangladesh.

The Rohingya refugees have been provided with basic water and sanitation facilities. But the high population density in the camps means that water points and latrines require periodic rehabilitation. With waning international support, many existing pit latrines are overflowing with excreta and are in urgent need of repair while many waterpoints have fallen into disrepair and require rehabilitation.

The lack of clean water and insanitary conditions in the refugee camps increase the risk of water-borne disease. Children playing in the dirty conditions and those with compromised immune systems such as the elderly, infirm and pregnant women are particularly at risk.

Project Agreement Number: (# 1053786)

Project Introduction:

Providing access to safe drinking water and sanitation services for all is a major development goal of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB). Accordingly, the Local Government Division (LGD) has prepared a Sector Development Plan (SDP) to guide the water supply and sanitation (WSS) sector in the attainment the government’s goal. The SDP will be for a period of 15 years, starting in Financial Year 2010‐11 (FY 2011) and ending in FY 2025. The objective of the SDP is to provide a framework for planning, implementing, coordinating and monitoring all activities in the WSS sector.  As a strategic planning document, it addresses the emerging and the future challenges of the WSS sector with special incorporation of a separate analysis for the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), focusing more on hygiene promotion, and paying greater attention to the regions lagging behind. To achieve the goal of Sector Development Plan (SDP) the strategies/lessons learned have been considered to apply in the following areas under the project

Project Introduction: WASH facilities in schools and enrolment, attendance, retention and attention rates is widely known, access to safe and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in school is often poor or non-existent. The conditions of many of the existing WASH facilities are poor, often due to overcrowding, inadequate maintenance of the facilities compounded by insufficient knowledge and acceptance of basic hygiene messages. The lack of access to safe and sanitary facilities affects all children, with girls of menstrual age being particularly affected, due to inadequate or often, a complete absence of private and clean sanitary facilities forcing the girls to miss school for up to one week each month.WASH facilities and messages in schools has been implemented for some time, the practice of using school children as change agents in the community is relatively new. The school will be used as an entry point into the community. This project Proposes to address the key issues of sustainability and scaling up, through the engagement of the children as change agents in the community as well as the School Management Committee.  Goal and Objectives: Goal: Creating healthier Learning Environments with improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services in 200 Secondary Schools in 4 districts of Bangladesh.

Project Introduction: This document focuses on the phase 1 pilot project: proof of concept. This document comprises the technical and operational activities in detail. Activities related to business planning, marketing of the project, stakeholder engagement and communications are being detailed in the business plan. The purpose of this test plan is to provide procedures for all participants involved in testing FTC and related equipment to ensure quality test data. This test program comprises three FTC units that will be tested for a period of 18 months. The results are expected to greatly accelerate the innovative FTC technology to treat brackish and arsenic contaminated water into the Bangladesh rural market place making water treatment technology widely available for local entrepreneurs.Goal and Objective: The main goal of the test program is to proof the concept; the focus is on testing the technical aspects of the device. Besides, EMF takes the opportunity to test the basic commercial assumptions of the business plan.  Establish within 10 years up to 30,000 financially independent micro water businesses in Bangladesh. Of course this is a very challenging goal; however it underlines the sense of urgency and market potential. The objectives of this test programme are to: present data on the impact of variations in feed water quality such as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), arsenic, iron, phosphate and manganese on performance; determine the logistical, human and economic resources necessary to operate and maintain the equipment; determine the reliability, ruggedness and ease of operation and maintenance; Determine and optimize detailed system design and operating specifications shaped by installation, operation, resources and economic requirements and test results. Outputsà Resultsà Outcome:                 Outputs A Community level baseline Survey was Completed and “A community perspective on the desirability and feasibility of micro drinking water businesses in Bangladesh “on this title a research Paper was completed. A capDI System with whole structural setup was already installed and first trial run was successfully completed.

Project Introduction:

Bhola district located in Southwestern Bangladesh is selected as the proposed project site because of the region’s high incidence of water born diseases, poor nutrition indicators, absence of sustainable WaSH service provision, and highly marginalized and environmentally vulnerable population. Its proximity to the Bay of Bengal makes this region particularly vulnerable. With geographically comprised mostly of rivers and isolated hard-to-reach river islands, communities in these areas have limited livelihood opportunities due to unpredictable natural disasters, poor infrastructure, limited access and communication with the mainland, saline contamination, and inadequate safe drinking water and sanitation services. A number of barriers exist within southwestern Bangladesh that needs to be addressed to promote and sustain WASH coverage within this area.
