Expected ResultsExpected ResultsThe PNAASR and designed to ensure that the new services are reliable and sustainable, provided at a reasonable cost and equally for all rural inhabitants:

Result 1 : Increase the proportion of rural population with access to water supply and improved sanitation (3.6M beneficiaries estimated, to achieve an 80% national coverage)

Result 2 : Increase the proportion of the rural population with improved practices in the management of water, sanitation and domestic hygiene ( 5.3 M beneficiaries estimated)

Result 3 : Improved capacity of government and groups of users to provide and ensure that services are sustainable.

Key elementsKey elementsDemand Responsive Approach (DRA), which expands the

involvement and commitment of the community;

Implementation of the Model of Community Management of Water (MoGeCA);

Private sector development , for greater participation in the provision of infrastructure for sanitation and the Operation & Management of water services;

Cross-cutting themes of gender equality, healthy environments and social equality ;

Direct Implementation by municipal governments ;

Key elementsKey elementsStrengthening of capacities at all levels:

At the municipal level that will serve as the core of PNAASR, in accordance with the national decentralization strategy;

The provincial level;

At the national level; and

The private sector.

Key elementsKey elementsImproved quality of infrastructure, achieved through new

standards and norms, rules of implementation and supervision and procedures of management;

Transparent criteria for selection of projects for an allocation of resources more efficient, effective and equal;

Greater attention to the operation of the infrastructure, post-construction;

Improved monitoring of the performance of the sector of the; and

Improved communication and exchange of information between the partners.

Sanitation and HygieneSanitation and HygieneCombined approaches to change the behavior of

Sanitation : The Community-led total sanitation (CLTS), marketing of sanitation and of communication approaches to behavior change and increase in the supply of goods and provision of services.

Complementarity of Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion : the operations of water supply, sanitation and hygiene should be made simultaneously where necessary.

Characteristics of the Demand Characteristics of the Demand Responsive ApproachResponsive Approach Community express a demand for water and sanitation

services;

Households express service level preferences;

Household demand expression is “informed” – meaning that households become aware of the implications surrounding their preferred service levels in terms of the associated long-term financial and social costs and obligations; and

Communities work closely with financing and implementing agencies to develop the structures and establish the rules required to create viable water and sanitation services.

MoGeCA DevelopmentMoGeCA Development

The recently-approved MoGeCA should be piloted in its current form, with additional refinement, including:

- Development of additional management models; - legalisation of the GAS (Water & Sanitation Groups); - role of the GAS under alternative provision of O&M by either

the private sector or the provincial utility; - development of post-construction support arrangements; and tariff setting.

PhasesPhasesThe PNAASR will be performed in three stages:

Phase 1 (2015 - 2018): pilot phase in the Provinces of Zaire, Lunda Sul and Huambo with 1.288 M new users;

Phase 2 (2019 - 2022): national implementation to other provinces; with 1.270 M new users, and

Phase 3 (2023 - 2026): complete national implementation; with 1.060 M new users.

Over 3.6 million rural residents in selected locations are expected to benefit from the Programme through new or improved water supplies, while approximately 5.3 million will benefit from the promotion of sanitation and hygiene.

Key Recommendations• Local government will serve as the NRWSSP fulcrum, in-

line with the national decentralisation strategy.• The critical importance of preparing community GAS and

local municipalities to assume their roles in water supply operations and maintenance;

• The cross-cutting themes of gender equality, healthy environments, and social equity are essential to sustainable water supply and sanitation services and will remain as constant foci of the Program.

• The continuing challenge of spare part provision to ensure sustainable hand pumps and water systems.
