Effective Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
(E-WASH) Program
Development of a Gender Equity and Social Inclusion Strategy for Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
Statement of Work (SoW)
May 2019
. BACKGROUND
E-WASH is a four (4) year program funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with the goal of improving urban water service delivery by strengthening the governance, financial, and technical viability of six (6) State Water Boards (SWBs) in Nigeria. This is part of the United States Government’s (USG) efforts to work with the Federal Government of Nigeria (GoN) to address some of the key challenges associated with urban Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services. USAID E-WASH will work toward achieving the following mutually reinforcing objectives
Creating professionally managed and commercially-oriented SWBs.
Improving the financial and operational viability of SWBs.
Strengthening policy, institutional and regulatory frameworks for improved WASH services (including establishing accountability mechanisms).
Building national and state WASH advocacy, coordination, and communications for reform.
The project is part of USAID’s wider efforts to build closer coordination with the Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR), select SWBs, and allied stakeholders, to advance broad-based economic growth and resilience through improved WASH services in urban areas. Interventions will be targeted in States where governments have shown willingness to embrace enduring reforms to improve water service delivery
. RATIONALE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENDER AND INCLUSION STRATEGY FOR URBAN WASH
The State Water Agency Capacity Assessment (SWACA) and Gender Assessment and Analysis (GAA), conducted as part of the baseline assessments in the six E-WASH partner states, unearthed qualitative and quantitative data on gender issues and gender dynamics as they play out within the WASH sector. The key findings from the assessments revealed significant gaps in policies, technical capacity, and institutional processes. Considering the program’s commitment to gender-responsive program implementation, EWASH will facilitate institutionalization of a gender-transformative culture at the SWBs, through the development and operationalization of a Gender Equity and Social Inclusion Strategy for the urban WASH sector.
The strategy will provide guidance and support implanting of a gender perspective in the project and State Water Boards’ operations and governance, including the SWBs’ policies, regulatory frameworks, legislation, and programs at all levels, which will make it possible for the needs, experiences, and concerns of women and men, girls and boys, to be recognized and addressed as integral to the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policies and other operational protocols of the SWBs, as well as the delivery of services.

The project is aimed at “Enhancing the living conditions of the population groups affected by the conflict in the states of Adamawa and Borno by securing their livelihood and reconstructing the basic social services’’.
With the help of the local project partner CPPLI, children and young people become part of a practice-oriented learning and empowerment process. This will strengthen them and, by acquiring new skills, enable them to overcome harmful behavior patterns. In particular, competences should be acquired with regard to prevention and combat-ting harmful behavior like gender-specific violence, violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect. Plan International will support the establishment of 7 school clubs and 15 afternoon clubs (for girls). Working with the 7 school clubs ensures that protection issues are discussed within the clubs in the schools. The afternoon clubs, the aim of which is to reach girls (incl. girls who do not attend school), ensure that the topics are also communicated to the age group outside of school.
The project plans to create 7 children's clubs, each with 20 members, of which 50% are boys and 50% are girls. 14 teachers - two per school - (7 female teachers and 7 male teachers) are trained as supervisors / caregivers to ensure the care of children's clubs by an adult. Kids club members receive a 10-day training on the role of children's clubs and life skills (making decisions, communicating, sexual and reproductive health, good hygiene habits). Club members are encouraged to share their newly acquired knowledge with other children in the schools through activities such as poetry, music, dance and theater.
