Terms of Reference for Aim 1 WASH System Building Block Baseline Assessment in Todee District, Montserrado County
- Introduction
2. Background and rationale
The foundation of human health and well-being rests on access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development emphasizes this through a dedicated goal (SDG6) on Water and Sanitation, aiming to "ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all." Despite this, 700 million people worldwide still lack access to safe water and 2.5 billion people do not have safe sanitation. Nationally, access to basic water services remains challenging, with about 24% of Liberians lacking basic access to safe drinking water. The situation is worse in rural areas, with about 34.5% lacking basic access to safe drinking water. In addition, only 23% have access to basic sanitation, with 35% still practicing open defecation; only 9% of the rural population access basic sanitation (JMP 2022). Progress towards universal, safe and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene has been slow due to barriers in WASH systems. Barriers include: weak government leadership, unclear institutional arrangements, limited sector capacity, fragmented cross-sector coordination and integration, insufficient data to inform decision-making and policy, weak accountability and regulatory mechanisms, insufficient finance to deliver and sustain WASH improvements, unequal power dynamics, harmful cultural and gender norms, and weak community voice in decision-making. Climate change impacts exacerbate these existing threats to sustainable, safe WASH. The WASH system is often referred to as ‘all the actors (people and institutions), factors (social, economic, political, environmental, technological) and the interactions between them that influence the achievement of universal, safe and sustainable WASH’. To strengthen WASH systems, it is first necessary to understand the status of WASH systems (their strengths and weaknesses). To do this, the complexity of WASH systems is often broken down into simpler ‘building blocks’. WaterAid, along with other WASH sector actors, has devised a WASH system building block framework to help government, and others working to advance progress in WASH, to understand the strength of WASH systems and to track progress in strengthening WASH systems over time.3. Purpose of the WASH systems building block baseline assessment
The WASH system building block baseline assessment aims to generate a collective understanding among government and other key sectors actors of the strength of the WASH system in Todee District at the start of the Aim 1 programme, providing a baseline for the district to track progress towards a strong WASH system overtime. The main objective of the assignment is to conduct a WASH system building block assessment to understand the strength of the WASH system in Todee district including the factors beyond the district (e.g., at the national level) that impact the delivery of universal, safe and sustainable WASH in the district.3.1 Specific objectives
- To establish the status of the WASH system building blocks in Todee district
- To create a collective understanding of the strength of the WASH system in Todee district among government and other key sector actors
- Identify existing system gaps which needs to be bridged as a means of empowering the local government to execute its mandate/function relating to WASH interventions and sustainable management of services
4. Methodology
The WASH system building block assessment should be done in a way that creates a shared understanding among government and other key actors in the district of the strength of the WASH system. This shared understanding should be built through consultations with government and other relevant stakeholders and partners as well as a workshop to build consensus and validate the assessment results.The proposed methodology (outlined in detail in WaterAid’s Aim 1 Baseline - WASH system building block assessment guide – see Annex 1) employs several consultations and participatory exercises to engage decision makers and stakeholders to plan, carry out, document, and share lessons from the assessment. Through this participatory process, WaterAid aims to facilitate an improved understanding among government and other key sector actors about the importance of strong WASH systems for achieving universal, safe and sustainable WASH and their roles in strengthening it.Specific activities to this assignment will include: 4.1 Literature reviewReview existing literature, data, and other similar WASH system building block assessments that may have been done in Todee district or at a national level in the last two years. This should also include a review of the information gathered by WaterAid as part of its country strategy situation analysis and AIM 1 Programme Plan) which can be used to help contextualise the WASH system building block assessment tool’s guiding questions and bring in the most up-to-date information and evidence to the workshop discussion. 4.2 Building understanding of WASH systems.The Consultant will support in building an understanding of WASH systems, particularly amongst local government through focus group discussions or two days’ workshop to be conducted in the district. The purpose of the focus group discussions/workshop will be to build or refresh local stakeholders (particularly government’s’ understanding of the WASH system, systems strengthening, and the building blocks of a WASH system. It will also provide an opportunity for local stakeholders to make input in contextualizing the WASH system building block assessment tools guiding questions.The consultant will explain the purpose of the assessment to the stakeholders and how it can support government to advance progress towards universal, safe and sustainable WASH in the district.Figure 1.1 The WASH System (building block and actors)4.3 Key informant interviewsThe Consultant will conduct key informant interviews with representatives from the District Commissioners, the District Superintendent, Clans and Town Chiefs from the local government, and WASH related sector actors involving representatives from line Ministries present in the district, and WASH related INGOs and NGOs present in the district.

This will be a two-days workshop to be conducted in Todee district.4.5 Report writingRecord the findings of the WASH system building block assessment and produce a short report.
