Summary: | This report summarizes the results,
lessons and recommendations to the Government of Lao PDR
from two Technical Assistance projects (TA) “Supporting
Demand Creation for Sanitation through Community Led Total
Sanitation” and “Sanitation Marketing in Lao PDR” carried
out by the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Program between
October 2012 and December 2015. The development objective of
the TAs was to increase improved sanitation and hygiene
practices and change community behavior to achieve Open
Defecation Free (ODF) status at the village level. This
report documents the results and lessons learned from the TA
program that includes experiences both from government-led
rural sanitation service delivery within two provinces in
Southern Lao PDR (Champasak and Sekong) , as well as from
national-level engagement to strengthen systems, tools and
capacity building approaches for scaling-up rural sanitation
service delivery. The report makes recommendations to
government on how - with the support of development partners
– the effectiveness and scale of rural sanitation services
can be increased to achieve sustainable sanitation outcomes
for the rural population of Lao PDR. It also proposes
recommendations for the engagement of the World Bank Water
Practice in the sector in support of rural sanitation
service delivery, aligned with lending operations,notably
the Poverty Reduction Fund (PRF3) and the Health Governance
and Nutrition Development Project (HGNDP). In addition a
number of important learnings at implementation level are
highlighted, so that operational processes can be improved
to make last-mile delivery more effective and efficient. |
