 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'There are a large number of small communities and towns in Africa that suffer from severe problems with water supply and sanitation. Small communities in rural areas and peri-urban areas of small towns have comparable settlement structures in which reuse of water and use of sanitation products can be utilized. However, there is only limited local capacity to adopt, implement and operate integrated water supply and sanitation. CLARA's overall objective is to strengthen the local capacity in the water supply and sanitation sector. From a technological point of view, existing low cost technologies for decentralized water supply and sanitation systems shall be assessed and adapted for African conditions with the focus on reducing risks in use and reuse of water and sanitation products, and providing demand oriented water quality. Based on these technological improvements and the experiences from the FP6 projects ROSA and NETSSAF, a simplified planning tool for integrated water supply and sanitation systems for small communities and peri-urban areas shall be developed that incorporates the key factors for success, i.e. operation and maintenance issues and reuse potential, form the beginning of the planning process, and that can be tailored to available local capacities. This simplified integrated CLARA planning tool shall then be tested and evaluated in different geographical African regions to incorporate different economic, cultural and social boundary conditions. For the communities participating in the planning process, application documents will be prepared as a final output that serve as basis to ask for funding of their implementation plans for integrated water supply and sanitation.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A recent partnership between African and European institutions has produced a sanitation planning tool for small municipalities in Africa.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The EU-funded 'Capacity-linked water supply and sanitation improvement for Africa's peri-urban and rural areas' (http://clara.boku.ac.at/ (CLARA)) project's objective was to strengthen local capacity in this sector. Project members examined existing low-cost technologies for decentralised water supply and sanitation systems, and adapted them for African conditions.

Field research in Arba Minch, Ethiopia investigated critical sanitation issues such as water supply, waste treatment, and operations and maintenance. Researchers focused on multi-storey buildings in Ethiopia, where flush toilets often do not have enough water to function, as well as waste valorisation methods.

The fieldwork found that there is a place for small enterprises in sanitation, in partnership with municipal authorities. In addition, CLARA highlighted that alternative water sources should be identified during planning stages to avoid future water shortages.

This field research informed the major output of the project, the CLARA Simplified Planning Tool. This tool allows municipal planners to compare the real costs of various alternatives of water supply and sanitation systems in the African context.

The planning tool was tested and evaluated in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco and South Africa. It can be downloaded for free from the project website.

CLARA's African member institutions also prepared funding applications for integrated water supply and sanitation implementation plans. These and other project efforts will strengthen local capacity in the water management sector, ensuring long-term support for rural African communities.
