Modality of Operation Takes place in the context of health promotion activities. Preliminary health education is essential, including the identification of local volunteers for campaign. Participation of the community at all stages. Initial approaches, when feasible, through traditional and established leadership. Adequate time - be allowed for preliminary consultation and agreement with the water committee.

Simplest appropriate technology / use locally manufactured or available equipments. Parts and tools for repair should be in the custodianship of water committees. Integration with other sectors could produce maximum impact/benefit to communities. Water supply projects should be evaluated. Projects are consistent with IFRC strategy –Hardware –Hygiene Promotion –O&M Capacity Building Modality of Operation (CONT.)

CHALLENGES Lengthy project assessments, design, revision, approval and start-up processes and procedures. The staff turnover rate within the Movement has been high – not because of overworked delegates but probably underutilized and under worked delegates getting bogged down with some bureaucratic hurdles. The experiences of the Tsunami and other recent natural disasters all point to the need to have local branches knowledgeable and active in water and sanitation.

CHALLENGES (CONT.) Standards/levels of service to beneficiaries are not consistent. SUGGESTION SECTION?? In the true sense of coordination the IFRC should take a lead and assign participating PNS to fill specific needs, especially when there are many PNS in a particular country.
