Re: Call for Partners and Collaborators for the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme.

Dear Anthony,

I read your document, but please fill us in a bit more on your organization and your plans. How many people are in your organization? Is it private, public, or mixed? Do you have strong contacts with the media (TV, radio, newspapers, internet, cell phone companies)? I think a lot can be done via educational campaigns, potentially in combination with prizes for those who apply the imparted information to improve their water and sanitation. Donors may be interested in providing these prizes. Have you contacted the embassies of different countries in Nigeria? Please explain here on the Forum what specifically you would like funding for, since some Forum members work in funding organizations.

I look forward to learning more about your programme.

Best wishes,

Re: Call for Partners and Collaborators for the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme.

Dear Antony,

it is always a good idea to work with schools to mobilise communities.
We developed a Water and Sanitation Safety Planning (WSSP) methodology especially for small communities. It is a risk based approach from WHO which we adapted for rural communities. It contains 3 parts and in part 3 we give guidance how to involve schools into WSSP:
www.wecf.eu/english/publications/2017/Revised-Compendium.php
Usually we give a kick off workshop to introduce the methodology, so if you are interested please let me know,

best regards and good luck

Call for Partners and Collaborators for the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme.

The aim of the Nigeria Water Education for Schools and Communities Programme is to promote better understanding of water as a key social, economic and environmental resource and to facilitate a new water-use ethic in Nigeria, through projects like the building and installation of water and sanitation infrastructure in select schools and communities of need. Introducing the Nigeria Water Education in Schools and Communities Programme would be strategic entry points to:
· Develop awareness about Water and Sanitation (WatSan) Sector reform, policy issues, and WatSan related environmental issues in Nigeria;
· Develop knowledge and skills necessary to analyze the issues and understand perceptions and use of water;
· Support informed decision-making by the community that could affect the quality of their lives with respect to water;
· Participate actively in the sustainable management of their water environment;
· Evaluate and propose actions that will achieve effective water related solutions in support of water resources management.

More information on the program can be found here.
Program implementers also seek to integrate Climate Change into the project. Please contact Anthony Akpan at This email address is being protected from spambots.
