And we never give up.
For every child, an advocate
UNICEF is, through CSO partners and respective regional administrations, supporting the Government of Tanzania with the National Sanitation Campaign through a gender inclusive and equity focused programme for “Accelerating Water and Sanitation for all (ASWA)” in Tanzania. The programme is being implemented in select districts in Iringa, Mbeya, Njombe and Songwe regions. The project which is jointly funded through the DGIS and UNICEF direct funding, seeks to increase access to improved water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services for all with large focus on the last mile populations.
Access to relevant valid data and WASH information is one of key accelerators in the WASH improvement framework. UNICEF relies on data generated from the respective regions and districts to be able to make realistically informed judgements in terms of progress against baseline. Baseline information is usually drawn from the National Sanitation Management Information System (NSMIS) that is also used for accessing data for planning WASH improvement programmes. Sub-national data collection for effective monitoring and evaluation remains a nagging challenge. Data collected has either not been aligned with WASH programme indicators making such data inadequate or is incredible as is inconsistent. Partners and LGAs do not use harmonized templates for capturing WASH data with different partners using different tools or templates for collecting WASH data. There is also anecdotal evidence of the limited skills in reliably capturing and analysis data among sub-national WASH teams. This may also result in inconsistencies with data emanating from sub-national levels. There is therefore a need for training of sub-national level partners and LGAs on capturing and sharing of credible WASH data using a standard, user-friendly, credible, and harmonized database, without replacing the Government of Tanzania information management system.
