My Communities

Number 1 point in any project. I would say even more – communication is the driving force in great majority of situations that happen in the world. It is very important to have a constant talk with each member. Thus a manager gets ongoing feedback, updates colleagues and simply shows that he is not a boss with tough management style, but a leader who can discuss even yesterdays’ TV-show.

1. Reliable source of Water
2. Water conservation techniques
3. Revamping of water sources
4. Cleaning and maintenance of source of water

Necessary conditions: Infrastructure to clean and bring the water to residents, and funding for infrastructure or technology to clean and bring the water to residents.

Sufficient conditions: Residents aware of how to tell if their water is safe and clean

The longterm outcome of this Program is Accessibility of Clean, Safe and Drinkable water in the target community. For this longterm outcome, the follwing necessary and sufficient preconditins identified by me, Community awarness creation on utlizing clean, safe & drinkable water, construction of Boreholes, exsistence of residents who are aware of the need to utlize clean, safe, & drinkable water, and clean, safe, and drinkable borehole water sources in the region.

construction of water catchment areas

Necessary preconditions include willingness of the residents, technical know how, relevant equipment

Sufficient pre-condition include regulatory impact assessment, funds, government will.

Necessary preconditions: enough water resource, budget, technology
Sufficient preconditions: enough human resources, good pipeline system

Undertake baseline research to inform on the water gap
Community mobilization
Set up a water committee in the community to liaise between the organization and the community
Train the community to topics to make them efficient
Design water schemes
engage water experts
construct water schemes
Provide water

creating necessary and sufficient preconditions is essentail

precondition needed for this project indlude; Reliable source of Water
Water conservation techniques
Revamping of water sources
Cleaning and maintenance of source of water
Good habit to use water judiciously
Educating the target population on benefits of clean, safe and drinkable water

1. Access for all residents to the water source - both public infrastructure (e.g. pipes) and private (e.g. taps)
2. Facilities to make the water clean, safe and drinkable
3. Sufficient water supply for all residents
4. Sustainable maintenance of the elements above

The necessary preconditions are the safe,clean and drinkable water, and agents to implement this process.
The sufficient preconditions are the vehicle and tank to bring water to the residents.

The necessary preconditions are the safe,clean and drinkable water, and agents to implement this process.
The sufficient preconditions are the vehicle and tank to bring water to the residents.

There need to be household living in the area, need to have clean and safe drinking water resources and also need the adequate human and financial resource to operate the project in the area.

1. Constructing one borehole in every district/ward
2. Sensitizing households on availability on pipe born water and the dangers of drinking surface or contaminated water

This list is exhaustive

-Boreholes or wells or any water source
-People who will dig the wells or these water sources
-People who will consume the water
-Materials to make the water clean and safe to drink

Sufficient preconditions include clean environment, water treatment chemicals, water reservoir and equipment to pump water

Reliable source of Water

Educating the target population on benefits of clean, safe and drinkable water

• Sufficient clean water available
• The residents should have access
• There should be a logistics in place
• There should be storage in place
• They should be able to test the water quality

There is drinking water service nearby.
There are pipes to conduct the water.
How far is the nearest water reservoir from the town.
The population has hydraulic installations.

It is very important the clean water source and the pipes. Maybe one truck to transport the water.

The necessary and sufficient preconditions for achieving this vision are:

1. brainstorming the first row of the pathway map.
2. sorting and narrowing down the brainstormed into four to six most important preconceptions.
3. backwards mapping to surface the preconditions for each of the elements in the first row and so on.

After identified long term outcome and a target population one is ready to create a pathway of change.
Big changes are logically linked to smaller changes
By the time this is done , one will have created a pathway of change .
The planning team should identify the necessary and sufficient preconditions for achieving the Organisation vision.
A simplified refined and attractive version of the diagram created with the Team.
It should be clearly communicated the theory of meaningful social change and the strategy to achieve it.
The outcome is to motivate and achieve the organisation's goal and objectives.
Examples of pathway of change:
A) Japan created for End of Life Care Association of Japan in 2019 V/s
B) Fiver Children's Foundation (2013):
PATHWAY OF CHANGE under (A) is easier to understand it's simplified Diagram (one page) Illustration and narratives
Even both {A) and (B) have visions . (A) is short and precise

Necessary Preconditions: Water source, Storage facilities, Mode of delivering water
Sufficient preconditions: lab facilities to test water quality, Water treatment plant/ necessary chemicals for water treatment, knowledge resources

Purifiers, pipes, wells, containers.

Availability of location where to put up the water pump or station, the willingness of the residents to support the project and their commitment to sustain the project are the necessary preconditions to achieve the vision.

The preconditions that come to my mind for providing drinkable water to the local population are: a well from which to draw water, a place where to have the well, a population aware of and in agreement with the project, people from the area who maintain the well/forage.
