|
|
| 13. PROJECT OBJECTIVE: (Describe the major purpose of the project.) |
|
By 2019, MIS team both national and subnational level will be informed about the M & E framework and the selected NAP II indicators.
By 2020, MIS will be developed as web base that can operate nationwide, including data collection
and management, aggregation of data, reporting and use of the information
By 2023 MIS system is able to report regularly and provide real time data with quality and sustainability check while mobile tracking and collecting data available down to the lower level across the country |
| 14. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: (Provide a description of the project and all its components.) |
|
Since 2013 the Cambodian rural water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector has recognized the need for a comprehensive system to collect, manage and share information about the progress of WASH in the rural Cambodian context. The National Strategic Plan (NSP) for Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (RWSSH) sets out the Royal Government of Cambodia’s goal that by 2025 every person in rural communities will have sustainaed access to safe water supply and sanitation services and live in a hygienic environment by 2025. The National Action Plan 1 (NAP) for RWSSH 2014-2018 was established as a first phase of the roadmap to reach this goal. The NAP1 also called for the establishment and regular updating of an MIS as a tool to support planning decision making and investment.
To attain these objectives, the following major activities will be carried out:
1. Select indicators at least 50% of NAP II’s indicators based on the measurability and low-cost collection
2. Develop monitoring and collection tool to share with PDRDs to collect and use accordingly and standardly
3. Provide training on the M&E Framework and the data collection tool to ensure data collection and entry process
4. Collect and Entry data at sub national level by the PDRD MIS team base on the excel tool
5. Start developing web application to be used by early 2020 that can operate nationwide for data collection, data management, reporting and use of information
6. Consolidate and analyze the data to look for the inconsistency and accuracy of the data
7. Data will then be validated to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data
8. Conduct validation by Site-visit by interviewing with the site staffs who involve in the data collection and entry process- These interviews provide a first-hand opportunity for the review team to gain a thorough understanding of each institution’s data collection and reporting processes. Any outstanding questions and follow-up issues identified should be addressed during the interviews. Also, observe the data collection – Description of the recording practices, availability, completeness, accuracy of source documents. Then, cross check at district and commune level.
9. Develop validation guideline, questionnaire and MIS annual report
10. Conduct the annul reflection workshop plus web application lunching

| 15. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: (Give reasons why this particular project is considered worthwhile.) |
|
At the beginning of the NAP1 for RWSSH (2014-2018), there was no comprehensive database from which to set a baseline for the plan’s indicators. The NAP I Review, mentioned in the methodology of NAP I Review, were reported using multiple available data sources and consultation with stakeholders through existing platforms and coordination mechanisms which included TWG/S and its sub-groups of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene (RuSH), Rural Water Supply (RWS) and WASH & Nutrition, and Provincial Working Groups (PWGs). The main limitation of NAP I Review included i) data was insufficient or not available for some indicators both at the national and sub-national level (and most data presented in the PAP Review reports had not been verified due to lack of time and human resources), and ii) The latest available data are Cambodia Socio Economic Survey (CSES) 2016 and Commune Data Base (CDB) 2016 which may not represent the latest situation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a sector MIS and scale up over time to track NAP progress within the affordable resources and capacity of MRD.
The MIS contributes to addressing major WASH sector concerns regarding to accurate and reliable sources of data which can be used for strategy development, planning and review with the WASH sector and future policy formulation. The MIS is expected to support MRD through its Rural Health Care, Rural Water Supply, and Planning departments in their sector’s project/program tracking, follow-up and evaluation functions through efficient and systematic data collection, collation, reporting and analysis. Furthermore, the MIS will provide a means to measure the progress towards the target outcomes and output in the National Action Plan 2, thereby improving the visibility of WASH sector performance and improving accountability of WASH programme implementation. MRD through its sub-national units and with local authorities work in all provinces devotes more effort and resources to areas with lower WASH practices. |

What recently achieved :
1- New MISIII database system so-called Google Data Studio is developed
2- Training on the new MIS system to MIS provincial officers is conducted
3- Data collection and data entry for 2022 is done and the report 2022 is official published
Challenges:
1- Strategic challenges: Difficult to engage the broader sector and demonstrate the value of the MIS since Excel-based system is a technology step backwards, team engagement is limited – No response, feedback sometimes
2- Human resource – Capacity in M & E (database management and visualization) and reporting,
3- Technical challenges: Database management, data analysis and data visualization was provided by NGOs MIS members
4- Financial constrain – Pooling fund, requires more fund/ incentive for data collection |
