1. Background and Overview
The Department
of Water Resources (DoWR) under the auspices of the Ministry of Lands and
Natural Resources, was set up to ensure sustainable and equitable access to
safe water and sanitation for the people of Vanuatu to support improved public
health and promote social and economic development.
2. Purpose
In 2017, a ‘National
Implementation Plan for Safe and Secure Drinking Water’ (NIP), was approved by
the National Water Advisor Council (NWAC).
The NIP is a national framework for achieving Vanuatu’s vision of 100%
access to safely managed drinking water by 2030. The NIP defines 2 key
implementation mechanisms: (1) ‘Drinking Water Safety and Security Plans’
(DWSSP) which is a community level planning tool and data gathering mechanism
that enables the DoWR to plan and implement water infrastructure investments;
and (2) the ‘Capital Assistance Programme’ (CAP) which is the financing and
procurement mechanism that allows DoWR to deliver water infrastructure projects
for communities that have completed a DWSSP. The NIP aims to complete DWSSPs
for all 2000 Vanuatu communities by 2030.
As the NIP is rolled out,
there is a need to communicate key messages regarding DWSSPs, the NIP and CAP to
Area Secretaries, Council of Chiefs, Church leaders and Village WASH committee
members. The Media Creation Consultant (Consultant)
will create a communication strategy, finalize key messages and then create needed
videos, poster and/or sample letters.
3. Scope
The Consultant should
collect initial information, by reading existing documents, conducting
stakeholder interviews and joining a DWSSP demonstration for one week in a
village. The Consultant will then define
key messages to be approved by DoWR and MFAT Water Sector Partnership Steering
Committee. The key messages should be
tailored to each different audience. The
consultant will then develop the needed media.
At a minimum, this will include the below listed deliverables explaining
the NIP, CAP and DWSSPs for different audiences. For example, the consultant may create a
sample letter that area secretaries can adapt and send to chiefs, church, village
water committees explaining: 1) the
importance of a DWSSP, 2) proposed outcomes of a DWSSP, and 3) how a community
can start a DWSS.
