Maintain, Improve and Expand WatSan, hygiene promotion and Emergency Health capacities in Disaster Preparedness & Response (meeting acute needs)
WatSan Kits prepositioned
NS Emergency Response systems
Training
Warehousing
E-learning
Global Water and Sanitation Initiative expansion GWSI
Sanitation, HP
Expanding donor options
‘Soft’ skills for Engineers
Integration with community-based approaches
Objective 2
Maintain, Improve and Scale-Up capacities in recovery and for sustainable, developmental WatSan, hygiene promotion and Emergency Health (meeting chronic needs)
APZ WatSan has two main objectives which fall under business line 2 and 3 – which will be elaborated on more later
Objective 1 to further support NS to build there resource base in terms of equipment and personnel to better deal with emergencies
Objective 2 support longer term development type programmes to assist communities to become more resilient.

Sometimes no Water and sanitation facilities but always Hygiene promotion activities are there and of course (Hygiene Kits , HHWT,….)
In last years more on drainage and solid waste (debris, decloging , environmental sanitation in Philipines and Indonesia)

8. WatSan Emergency Capacity in Asia Pacific/SEA

10. Global Water and Sanitation Initiative 2005 - 2015
IFRC initiative launched in 2005 to meet MDGSs through longer term WatSan programming
How: scaling up existing capacities
Achievements:
Since 2005, 75 Red Cross Red Crescent NSs have undertaken over 300 development projects in 60 countries;
Estimated 8.5 million beneficiaries served so far;
Funding so far will serve 11.5 M – so we have trebled the original target from 5 to 15 million by 2015;
Annually, on average serving about 1.5 to 2 M people with safe water; sanitation and hygiene promotion in the development context; and
GWSI to continue for a further 10 to 15 years at least.
SEA target 600,000 beneficiaries to 2015
Background on GWSI

11. Scaling up Sanitation to 2015
SEA: Indonesia follows as second
Indonesia figures are very bad as well
2,5 billion people in the world lack access to adequate sanitation , including 1.1 billion people who have no sanitation facilities at all ( 15 per cent of the worlds total population) 2.6 billion people don't have access to sanitation
That's nearly half of the world's population! We alone can’t fight this situation, but if you join us in this movement, its possible.
Each of you can be a change agent by contributing your time, talent, skills and commitment to make it happen.
The largest number of people still practicing open defecation in the world is in India, with 54% of the total (632 million in total) out of which most are living in the rural area (approximately 575 million people). Rural India accounts for approximately 60% of the global rural population that defecates in the open.

13. APZ Priorities in 2013-2014 Sanitation Scale up
GWSI Impact studies (Nepal 2013 and DPRK 2014)
HP Box adaptation – Vietnam, Timor Leste and India
Emergency equipment localisation – Vietnam, Timor Leste and Hygiene kits standardize
WatSan ER preparedness – China, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Timor Leste, Vietnam and Myanmar
Scaling up WatSan GWSI programmes – AusAid, DfID (Cambodia) and OPEC
RMS WASH mapping – all NSs in APZ hosting either trained WASH personnel and/or equipment
More focus in 2012 on chronic needs, less emphasis on WatSan ER preparedness
Sanitation Scale up in South Asia – concept notes and liaison with new donors - India

14. SEA Priorities in 2014
Goal: To grow Red Cross Red Crescent services for vulnerable people (Business Line 2)
Outcome 1: Strengthened institutional and technical capacity of NS on response preparedness, response, and all types of community based risk reduction programming to successfully deliver relevant service to community in need.

15. SEA Priorities in 2014
Goal: “To strengthen the specific Red Cross Red Crescent contribution to development” (Business Line 3)
Outcome 1: Red Cross Red Crescent contributes to building of community safety and resilience incorporating climate change adaptation (including climate sensitive diseases), urbanization, migration, gender and disability.

16. DfID WASH Call DfID WASH call for Africa and Asia GBP 109 Million
UK government like to reach through DfID support:
3.3 million people with sustainable access to clean drinking water sources;
7.3 million people with sustainable access to an improved sanitation facility; and
9.8 million people reached through hygiene promotion activities.

for national societies’ and secretariat’s staff.
In addition to resource management, there are two other modules that can be accessed from RMS:
Assessments and
Projects.
In assessments, users are able to add new field assessments through their web browsers or batch import assessments added to Excel spreadsheets. Place of assessments together with its accompanying information can be tagged on map.
Projects provides possibility to save and track key project information like the location, amount of beneficiaries reached, donor, funding, etc. It is not however a project management tool nor will become one. Rather one is able to see where different projects are run at and find and extract key information for e.g. reporting purposes.
