Construction works will be contracted to local companies through open and transparent competitive bidding. An all-inclusive approach will be applied in monitoring the project thus giving room to all relevant stakeholders to play a role. Project will be monitored by WASDA staff together with community members, Ministry of Water and local authorities. PDMs will be undertaken 6 weeks after distribution of hygiene kits using a structured household questionnaire.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtWASDA will maintain and expand synergies across all the programs by ensuring that this project is implemented alongside other emergency response programs, such as nutrition, health  FSL to ensure that benefits arising out of multiple actions to the same target groups are exponentially increased. The project is designed in such a way that while providing emergency lifesaving interventions it will also provide longer term sustainable solutions for affected population. To ensure emergency interventions are linked to durable solutions, the project included construction, rehabilitation and upgrading of water supply systems, latrine constructions and promotion. ltbrgtFor this project WASDA proposes to target five (5) rural villages in Baidoa district of Bay region Barhanoy, Bula jay, Bula Nasib, Munawur and Geeldheere.
