10 Progress against the Project Outputs Water supply systems constructed together with communities and local authorities MURGAB SES conducted laboratory test of quality of water in 5 selected villages and provided certificate of quality. RUSHAN-BARTANG Establish O&M system jointly with VOs and LAs (VO, WUC, LA) Meeting with community and LA to agree on contribution to sub-projects Check the quality of drinking water by SES Implementation of the WS sub-projects Partial rehabilitation (4km) of irrigation canal in Dasht village, Ishkashim have been completed. The canal is 26km long covering six villagers with 2670 population (1229 men/1441women) and used to irrigate more than 1000 hec. of arable land. ISHKASHIM - WAKHAN In 14 VOs WUC for WS system established Agreed on 20% average community contribution in infrastructure projects; LA is providing legal support to document the sub-projects, allocation of land/permits for construction, expertise and support with access to machinery.

11 The progress of activities against Outputs Improved household sanitation systems installed/uddt MSDSP engineers provide technical advice and support to selected households in how to construct and use the UDDTs Site selection for construction of EcoSan toilets Conduct training for construction of toilets Deliver and distribute construction materials for selected households Conduct monitoring Regular monitoring on Project implementaton is conducted by AKF, MSDSP Regional and Districts Offices and LAs. 100 individual households through VOs meetings selected to construct UDDTs 140 pcs. of toilets pans have been delivered and distributed for selected h.hs. Construction of Ecosan toilet in Bartang Type of toilet pans procured for the ecosan toilet 140 pcs. distributed for 70 selected households

12 Progress of activities against Outputs Community-based civil society structures trained and are functioning Conducted meetings with targeted Project stakeholders include LAs on Integreted Watershed Management & Update VDMP NRM Trainings on Gender - Environment/Climate Change & Pasture Management Total participants: Male / 53 Female 24 LAs Community and LAs capacity development through Trainings & Study tour AKHS Conducted trainings on Hygiene & Sanitation for the CHPs & PHCs Total participants: Male / 36 Female PG Trainings on Operation and Maintenance of subprojects through establishment of WUCs Total participants: Male / 110 Female 40 LAs Study Tour to Khatlon and Sughd for LAs, SUDVOs and MSDSP Total participants: 10 8 Male / 2 Female 3 LAs

13 Moments from the project implementation The hand-pumps for 10 boreholes for Murgab communities delivered and distributed to the sites The hand pumps spare parts

14 Moments from the project implementation # of 2 Wool carding machines # of 2 Generators with 7 kwt capacity # of 2 Vacuum & Clean machines

15 Current condition of the communities before the sub-projects implementation The animals roaming around canal Current drinking water source of Ghudara village The water goes to Ghudara village through canal The people of Ghudara village keeping the dirty water in cisterns until the earth sediments before consumption

16 Current condition of the communities before implementation In Karakul village In Rankul village Inside of the boreholes which the people get the water with a bucket

17 Main Challenges Currency exchange rate fluctuation (EUR/USD/TJS) and changes in prices in the market; Capacity of local service providers ( suppliers of materials, design institutions, construction companies); Short construction season ( example Murgab district) Remote and difficult to access project areas require more time for travel
