Current status of UDDTs in Nyanza region


prepared by Wycliffe Osumba
Summary of site follow- up
During this  time it was clearly indicating that  most households were using the Ecosan toilet in the areas were mobilization was well done, but  where mobilized  was not properly done, the people  were not using them well, maintenance was poor, roles how to clean the units was a problems, usage of the end products, is still hanging and some   few individuals turned the units as store where they keep other things.
Institution where construct  implemented  had a big problems, that need time to addressed them. Most of the UDDT’s were not well finished, and I can say they are under construction , painting, fitting of gutters, urine pipe, water Tank, keying, outside supper structures and the  urine door were not well fitted.
Floor screeding was poorly done, fixing the squatting  pan was not well fitted, some stairs  were too steep, front doors some broken, back door steels were not well  fitted and lack of  proper training to the communities or parents  for common understanding, and out of this understanding they could  be able to sustain the project or continue to won it.
It ‘ s my  opinion that time frame for the pending  work need to be extend and the materials that are missing need to be to avoid while elephant project in the filed.

- In Homa – bay county, Rangwe location , the household units were completed and are in use but schools had some problems   due  to poor  workmanship  at the school, at Rabuor Kaura Primary school  are not yet complete  the slab for the urine chamber has not been cast. Ndiru Primary School had four doors that are in use and  well  maintained under supervision of Mrs. Okeyo lead  of health club.

Conclusions

It  is hope that there are still many things pending that need more follow-ups, training, and need more stakeholders to be involved in order to generates a supportive policy, frame work, informed civil servants and decision makers .Working in collaboration with other NGOS /CBDS I hope to play a prominent role in promotion, awareness, hygiene education.
