FIETS assesment of the project Financial Institutional - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

FIETS assesment of the project Financial Institutional Environmental Technical Social Opportunities Challenges Definition of the actual problems (challenges) and solutions (opportunities) 27

FIETS assessment • Financial: payment for water, local service providers, role of government, banks / mfi’s • Institutional: stakeholders in water (power and interest), rules & regulations, (de)centralisation, level of organisation • Environmental: ecosystem values, water sources and flows, issues (depletion, pollution, etc) • Technical: functioning of current infrastructure, sustainable technologies, management requirements, availability and costs of materials • Social: culture, religion, gender 28

Example of a problem definition using FIETS • Periodic water scarcity • Water loss through inefficient irrigation • Technical failures of supply systems and inefficient water use • Finance available at local level, but not for expensive systems like boreholes • Uphill areas with scattered villages lacking safe and sufficient access to water 29

Financial Institutional Environment Technical Social Community contribution of 500 Stakeholders: 7 Current water supply systems Existing supply system, People want a system NPR per hh per year, DDC: 5 wards, VDC, DDC, can be revived as water storage and distribution that functions as they million NPR per year. Fund of Oxfam, NGOs (Child supply is sufficient systems are now yearly repairing Opportunities LWF project. protection), people the current intakes and pipes Women cooperative present: Management Different sources available People are already doing There is an active social collecting monthly savings (14- structures at (groundwater, surface water, many repairs on existing mobiliser in the VDC 16% interest rate), bank is governmental level rainwater), but sources are not structures and therefore already providing loans. Unclear (VDC, DDC) well managed nor understood have technical skills on what. 50% of people don’t own No collective fund for No management Borehole (gov. plan) will be Distribution network is open maintenance of water structure between the vulnerable for earthquakes as (open pipes, with a lot of land, lack of ownership infrastructure, LWF fund is still 7 wards, as there is well as depleting ground water water loss) and is unknown. available (more 15 years old) no existing structure, levels. only when there is a problem they form committees A lot of budget is now spent on Unstable political Sever erosion and flooding in Failure of intake systems of A lot of doubts amongst Challenges repair instead of sustainable context the river systems in almost all dam structure for domestic communities due to investment in infrastructure: parts of the catchment and productive water supply failure of current system almost 500.000 NPR due to flash floods Governmental project (borehole) Unawareness of good Limited awareness of all Conflicts due to water needs significant financing, as irrigation and other water technologies options, and and competition between the DDC and VDC don’t have management practices in fear of losing water for water uses (irrigation vs this budget available. agriculture, leading to irrigation (competition domestic use). Mixed inefficient irrigation and lots of between domestic and communities, and waste water, no re-use productive use) possible exclusion of ward 9 34

Example: problem assessment • Severe water scarcity, 7 villages without water for domestic and productive use in dry season • Large rivers with yearly flooding • Additional water infrastructure is needed, like f.e. dams and gravity led systems • Government has plans for a borehole • External funding is needed, as people cannot pay for this system But after the FIETS assessment.... 35
