Finding Conclusion Recommendation According to all researches the functionality rate of CMP implemented water schemes is over 90%. This success achieved because of community inclusive site selection, planning and implementation. Moreover, the concerns of the community and WASHCOs for timely maintenance and protection have contributed a lot. Functionality in its nature is not measurable and it doesn’t guarantee the adequacy of water available at the water scheme. Therefore, a due attention should be given to the service level, in terms of quantity of water per capita per day. Amount of water delivered per head should be guaranteed. In Mebt (2013), Meron (2012) and Beshah (2013) the people who satisfay the national standard per capita consumption (15lpc) is ranging from 19 – 31%. The figures are survey results of functional water schemes. The shortage of water at sources during dry periods is not taken into consideration (it maybe worsens during dry season). This lead us to draw the conclusion that population depend on the sources are beyond the capacity of the water sources. Moreover, this problem is aggravated by the entry of new users after the project implementation (Yewendosen, 2012 and Nabin, 2012). A bit modification is important in the procedure of community organizing under a single water source. The source should be known first before determine the number of users it can hold. However it is contradicting with involvement of users in site selection and in planning, we should not ignore to limit population size on water sources to comply with its yield. Number of households should not be a limiting factor in organizing people for water supply projects, rather total population need to be accounted for water source selection so that to estimate the yield and provide adequately. The extent of new users Entry should be limited to the capacity of the source. In doing this the community has to be supported by the woreda water office. CDF and CMP have achieved effective annual implementation rate. CMP improve the conventional (WMP) implementation by over 580% ( Nabin, 2012 ), 100% fund utilization and no fund transfer to succeeding fiscal year in CMP and at least planned water schemes entirely completed in the planning horizon. According to Yewendosen, 10% additional water points were achieved during 2010 and 2011. The effectiveness exactly emanated from the working platform Other WASH implement modalities and sectors as well should learn from this experience.
any time procurement can be made and the bid process is very shorter than the Government procurement procedure. CMP is Devoted to capacity building. Means of sustainable service delivery is technically capacitating local staffs in the way there could be an idea, working culture, and technology transfer. Thus, CMP is doing the capacity building and hence, all activities run by the governmental employee. Moreover, Artisans trained to participate in the construction and maintenance of water schemes. This deed is one of the means to put leverage of the project for long lasting services deliveries. The annual warming up training that has been to few Woreda staff members need to be monitored to reach to the rest of the staff who involved in the program. Because, due to high staff turnover staffs who executed CMP might not be there a year after. So the training should be going down to the staffs regularly to introduce new staffs about the CMP and brainstorm for existing ones. Artisans trained should be benefiting from involving in the maintenance of water and sanitation schemes. But practically, The Woreda Water offices are in charge of maintenance and even spar part supplying. CMP is popular in the name of FinnIDA the communities in the Amhara Region. FinnIDA means CMP or CDF, if you encountered when called in Amhara region. Since the RWSEP had been implemented in the region since 1994 with the support of Finland Government through FinnIDA, still the community thought FinnIDA exists in CMP. However, FinnIDA and COWASH are different; the best thing is the target of both is water supply and sanitation. Their motto also sustainability. What works for FinnIDA is working for COWASH as CMP vs CDF. This popularity certainly reduced effort of promotion and community awareness. However, it may have some shortcoming not to out of the intended purpose of the CMP (lack of knowledge about problem of unprotected water sources might not guarantee to be free from contaminated water.) When a community comes with a request of water supply project (especially in the Amhara Region) the motivation could be a real need of protected water or competition with a neighboring community to level themselves with others in having such scheme. Therefore, CMP implements, especially Woreda water office should not ignore to teach them to know the problem behind unprotected water sources until the user condemned using water from traditional sources. Otherwise, the opportunity of the popularity leads to threat.
quality is not yet given serious attention. CMP has no platform to monitor the water quality of the water schemes before and after construction. Quality is as important as quantity. Regarding contamination ground water sources are less susceptible, but other quality problems like trace elements should be tasted. Thus, a mechanism of water quality of control should be included in the project.
