Islamic Relief Pakistan



TERMS OF REFRENCE for Consultancy Service
 “Trainings of Government Line Departments, Local and International NGOs  on Solid Waste Management and Hygiene Awareness”

Noshki and Chagai Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Project (BWSP-II)




TERMS OF REFERENCE

General Information:

A combination of modern and conventional techniques proposed to address WASH related needs of 44,394 people in district Chagai and Noshki of Baluchistan. The capacity building aspect focused around modern techniques and operation and maintenance trainings is targeting both communities and line agencies to add sustainability and self-sufficiency. The project is designed to support both emergency needs and its long term impact in the targeted areas. The project envisages a core component of learning mechanism for adoption of modern techniques in addressing water needs in technically complex situations.



Agency Background:

Founded in the UK in 1984 as an International Relief and Development Charity, Islamic Relief aims to alleviate the suffering of the world’s poorest people without discrimination. As a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), the focus since inception has been responding to disasters and emergencies linking them to sustainable economic and social development by working with local communities - regardless of race, religion or gender.

Islamic Relief (IR) is in Consultative status (category special) with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, signatory to the Code of Conduct of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent (since 1995) and to the Code of Conduct of People in Aid. Since 2002 Islamic Relief is a framework partner of ECHO (the European Community Humanitarian Aid department, FPA nr 251, NGO nr: 195). It is also a member of BOND (British Overseas NGOs for Development) and DEC (Disaster Emergencies Committee).

IRP has implemented numerous relief and development projects in Balochistan. Currently, IRP has been implementing six projects in two districts of Balochistan: Noshki and Chagai with funding source of DFID, SIDA, IRUK and IRUSA in Renewable Energy, WASH, Livelihood and health sector. IRP’s acceptance by the targeted communities is a clear indication of the success of current and previous projects as they fulfil the needs of the poor. IRP has also built strong relationship with the different departments of the government of Balochistan. The projects are smoothly running with the coordination and cooperation of line departments including health, livestock, education and public health engineering departments.


Background of the Project


Islamic relief has worked in District Chagai and Noshki of Balochistan for many years and has good acceptance and reputation in the area. Both districts are large and sparsely populated. Most villages comprise of a few dozen households making it economical unviable for any public or private entity to initiate any water supply, health or any other civic schemes.  The province in general and these two districts particularly suffer from poor governance and limited public sector facilities. This region is generally marked with large treks of deserts with dry mountains. Rainfall is the minimum in Pakistan and since the last two decades, the area is faced with droughts impacting on livestock and local agriculture two of the main means of livelihood. Through this project, Islamic relief plans to assist most vulnerable communities of targeted UCs of district Chagai and Noshki with the provision of clean and safe drinking water pumping systems powered by the solar energy.  The proposed solutions are combination of traditional solution to modern ones. The objective is to enhance knowledge and experience of different stakeholders to benefit the sector with more options to address the complex situations like non availability of drinkable water in the practically accessible distance. Moreover, it also focuses on aspect related to operation and maintenance which is address in two folds. On one hand we are inducing necessary capacities in the target communities on operation and maintenance of the provided facilities which require little or no maintenance and on the other hand awareness raising and capacity building of line agencies is targeted to enable them to design their facilities using renewable energy options.
These two tiers are expected to contribute towards sustainable provision of intended support with little or no maintenance expenses.


The overall Goal of BWSP-II project is:


Enhanced resilience through sustainable delivery of water, health, sanitation and hygiene services in Noshki and Chagai district
