Woreda Level Coordination Toolkit for the WASH and NTD Sectors

This woreda level toolkit is specifically designed to:

• Deepen WASH partners’ understanding of how WASH interventions can contribute to reduction in NTD prevalence.

• Increase NTD partners’ understanding of the modes in which coordination with WASH partners may enhance reaching programmatic NTD elimination goals.

• Define key roles and activities which are needed for creating a sustainable partnership between sectors.

• Recommend specific woreda level actions for promotion of integrated work by relevant sectors and partners.

• Outline a series of process steps for execution of coordinated activities.

• Facilitate effective coordination between sectors and stakeholders operating at the woreda level.

• Provide a framework and recommended tools including monitoring and evaluation, joint indicators, joint supportive supervision visits, and suggested strategies for measuring program impact on NTDs.

• Plan, deliver and evaluate programs that include inputs from WASH, health and NTD stakeholders at all levels.

This toolkit is meant to be used by woreda level government officials, NGOs and other relevant stakeholders. Woredas are encouraged to modify the toolkit to suit their specific contexts and needs
