21 WASH Market Use / Support Experiences LEBANON: Market use EMMA study recommended water vouchers for water trucking (plus in-kind water tanks), desludging (services) and WASH NFIs (goods) in the Bekaa valley targeting the Informal Tented Settlements hosting the Syrian refugees Complexities non revenue water, water for livelihoods in the Bekaa vast (fruits and vegetables), Bekaa Water Establishment unwilling to connect ITSs to the public network, BWE critical of the NGOs supporting the illegal private water truckers What do to do given the protracted Syria crisis, lack of funding and scale of Syrian refugees in Lebanon? Can we regulate the water market system i.e. the private water truckers? Market Support Negotiated water price ($6.5 to $4 per m3) and attempts to regulate the private water truckers for supporting the ITSs (similar discussions for sanitation) Link private water truckers to an established water extraction point from the Bekaa Water Establishment (rate paid by NGOs % for trucker, % BWE) Performance indicators (quality, access, use): between communities, BWE, water truckers

22 WASH Market Support Experiences Philippines (Eastern Samar and Bantayan) Supply Redesign of toilet products available, increased cost efficiency, diversity of materials used, quality and number of choices Local masons trained on toilet construction, and small business trainings Health Workers trained as sales agents, earning commission for toilets sold and clients referred to micro finance Support for suppliers to buy and store materials in bulk Demand Social marketing market fairs, speeches during barangay events, radio adverts, posters, brochures Finance Cooperative developed a savings and loan account (SAVED) dedicated to toilet building/upgrading. Enabling Environment Training for WASH enablers targeting LG employees, rural sanitary inspectors etc. Website created as an advocacy and engagement tool for other microfinance branches and potential partners Business mentoring sessions for WASH related enterprises financial management, selling, marketing Masons opportunities to access scholarships from a national training academy

23 Market Tip Sheet Provides real time/field orientated examples to enable WASH and other sector practitioners to think out of the box Offers a logical sequence of stages where field works can/should consider markets Pragmatic where the evidence gaps are (e.g. monitoring) Emphasis on supply and demand, however for WASH a greater emphasis is required on the quality of services, performance indicators measured and accounted for between communities, market actors etc.

24 Supporting Markets to Recover CRS Nepal Experience Krishna Mohan Catholic Relief Services

25 The Context A devastating earthquake of 7.8 magnitude hit Nepal on 25 April 2015 Large scale damage to lives and property Local economy paralyzed Access to essential goods and services severely restricted Markets near urban areas recovered; but secondary markets continued to suffer Communities and traders in remote, hilly areas were the worst affected

26 Rapid Market Assessment & Analysis CRS conducted RMA in May 2015 Collaborated with Chambers of Commerce, Market Management Committees and vendors Current markets are able to meet 30-50% of demand for essentials goods (CGI sheets, construction material, food, clothes, medical supplies, mobile vouchers etc) Vendors lacked access to external support from Government or INGOs

27 Intervention Design Secondary markets, which are a key link between primary and cluster markets, were targeted Vendors trading in essential goods and services targeted Debris Clearance Mason Support Cash Support ($300) Cash & Material ($150, CGI, Tool Kit) Total Vendors Supported 405 Total Markets Covered 5 Indirect Coverage 3300 HHs app Types of Market Support

28 Key Lessons Learned Collaboration with market stakeholders helps in better and quicker diagnosis of vendor needs and preferred support modalities Flexible support package helps meet diverse needs of vendors Developing a light beneficiary registration process accelerates the response Integrating preparedness aspects into short-term market support interventions has potential to increase resilience of traders to future shocks Monitoring outcome level changes would help in learning impact and better design future projects

29 The TIP SHEET What We Could have Done Different Shake traditional vulnerability criteria - Better understand catchment area of market actors Long term implications of market support What could be monitored? - Analyze and select what s best for the project Document the RATIONALE
