Duration: 60 Days
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 September 2017, all the residents of Ambae
island (population: 11,600, children: 5,200) in Vanuatu were evacuated to
neighboring islands when the Alert Level for Manaro Volcano was raised to 4
indicating imminent violent eruption. The volcano simmered down after a month
and the government organized a phased repatriation of the residents back to the
island. Ambae island population are
heavily dependent on rain water for drinking, washing and cooking and the
volcano recent eruption has established itself and keeps spewing ash and ash
fall on the island affecting the method of rain water harvesting on the
island. There is a need for communication
materials to be created in Bislama to communicate key messages related to
rainwater harvesting close to volcanoes.
3. Scope
The Consultant should conduct
a literature search, read existing relevant documents, conduct stakeholder
interviews and compile existing information.
The consultant will then develop a schedule for a trip to Ambae to
understand community perceptions and work together with community members to
adapt existing rainwater harvesting communication materials to the local
concept. The consultant should create drafts
of possible rainwater communication materials and present these to DoWR. The consultant should adapt the drafts based
on conversations with DoWR. The consultant will then go to Ambae, and using a
participatory style with a variety of stakeholder, adapt the initial designs to
address the questions and needs of community members. The consultant should be sure to listen to
and actively involve not just community leaders, but women and marginalized
populations. After visiting Ambae, the
consultant will present new versions of the proposed materials to DoWR and the
WASH Cluster. After final consultations
with DoWR, the consultant will submit a final version. Currently, it is thought the deliverables
will include 2 stickers and one set of flyers as detailed below. However, this may change slightly if the
consultant and DoWR agree that slightly different messages and products are
needed. While the tools should be
mostly pictorial, with few works, final versions should be delivered in Bislama,
with an accompanying English translation.
A detailed list of the products desired include:
