Individual National Consultant –

While UNICEF is contributing for the system strengthening some issues need to be resolved. The data of water safe communities declared by UNICEF so far have not been uploaded into the NWASH module due to lack of technical knowhow in the NWASH tool with the WASH team. This absence of the data in the NWSH has lessened the space for UNICEF to do evidence-based advocacy for scaling up of water safe community. Moreover, although WASH section has been using Excel sheets for progress monitoring, with the team members entering data into separate sheets and the monitoring officer manually collecting the sheets, verifying, and bringing them all together into one format for further analysis and visualization there is a need to harmonize the data visualization of the NWASH as well as to be public to concern municipality. In recent years, the NWASH is becoming a central repository tool which and specifically Palika dashboard being developed which also enable Palika to see the progress in timeline with attribution of different agencies including UNICEF. A web application that will address these challenges by providing a structured platform for data collection, validation, storage, visualization, and syncing with NWASH MIS is needed. This task is sophisticated and difficult to be performed by WASH staff and need to be piloted in close collaboration with the NWASH team at the DWSSM. UNICEF can do a demo of it and pick up as an agenda to DWSSM for further strengthening the NWASH reporting from the Palika level. As a part of the UNICEF WASH programme 2023-2027; Output No. 3.2 ‘Strengthened systems and increased capacity of three tiers of government and other WASH stakeholders to plan, implement and monitor equitable, climate-resilient and gender-responsive WASH in select underserved areas’ an assignment is proposed to improve the above situation.
