 Outputs

• Adequate safe water is available at each school and its

communities.
• Increased awareness among school children and their
communities concerning personal hygiene.
• Health and Well-being: By improving water, sanitation, and
hygiene conditions, the WASH program aims to contribute to the
overall health and well-being of individuals and communities.
Access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities reduces the
risk of waterborne diseases, such as diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid,
salmonella, shegella, viral hepatitis A, and other parassitosis while
practicing good hygiene helps prevent the transmission of various
infectious diseases.
34
 Outputs cont.
• Gender Equality and Social Inclusion: The WASH program
recognizes the importance of ensuring equal access to water and
sanitation services for all individuals, regardless of their gender,
age, or socio-economic status. It seeks to address the specific needs
of marginalized 9 groups, such as women, girls, children, and
people with disabilities, and promote their active participation in
decision-making processes related to WASH initiatives.
• Sustainability and Resilience: Long-term sustainability and resilience
are key goals of the WASH program. This involves building and
strengthening local capacities to manage and maintain water and
sanitation infrastructure, ensuring the availability of necessary
resources, and considering the impact of climate change to develop
adaptive strategies.

35
 Implementation and Monitoring
• UEF (Act2gether and MOE), the general directorate of
comprehensive school health at the ministry will
follow up implementation through its staff in the
directorates under the supervision of UEF/Act2gether
and Rostropovich (head division and health filed
workers if available at the targeted schools).
• At schools level, the environmental clubs and health
committees at the targeted schools have a leading
role in participating and following up with
implemented activities.

36
Implementation and Monitoring cont.
• All responsible partners from the community
in the project will continuously monitor
implementation and provide feedback and
periodic reports on progress to ensure
sustainability of the program.

37
 TARGET GROUP AND DIRECT
BENEFICIARIES

The target group for a WASH (Water, Sanitation, and

Hygiene) program in the Jordan Valley can vary depending
on the specific objectives and focus of the program.
However, here are some potential target groups that could
be considered:

1. Communities: The program may aim to improve access to

clean water, sanitation facilities, and promote hygiene practices
in rural or underserved communities in the Jordan Valley. This
could include both village council and religious leaders.
38
2. Schools: Targeting schools in the Jordan Valley can be an
effective way to promote good hygiene practices among
children and adolescents. Providing clean water sources,
sanitation facilities, and hygiene education in schools can have a
positive impact on the overall health and well-being of students.

3. Vulnerable populations: The program may specifically target

vulnerable populations, such as refugees, internally displaced
persons (IDPs), or marginalized communities. These groups
often face significant challenges in accessing clean water and
sanitation facilities, and tailored interventions can help address
their specific needs.

39
4. Agricultural communities: Given the agricultural nature of
the Jordan Valley, the program could focus on improving water
management and irrigation practices among farmers. This
could involve providing training and resources to help farmers
adopt sustainable water practices, reduce water waste, and
improve productivity.

5. Health facilities: Targeting healthcare facilities, including

hospitals and clinics, can be important for ensuring adequate
water supply, sanitation, and hygiene practices in healthcare
settings. This can contribute to infection control, prevent the
spread of diseases, and enhance overall healthcare quality.

40
 It is important to conduct a thorough needs
assessment and engage with local stakeholders,
including community members, government
authorities, and non-governmental
organizations, to identify the most appropriate
target groups and design an effective WASH
program for the Jordan Valley
