This report is about the development and implementation of water safety planning (WSP) in four kebeles (wards) of South Ari woreda (district) in Ethiopia, supported by IRC WASH and the Agenda for Change in Ethiopia project. WSP is a proactive risk assessment and risk management method developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) that encompasses the entire water supply system, from catchment to consumer, and aims to ensure the safety and sustainability of drinking-water supply. The report describes the six main steps of WSP implementation, the benefits, challenges, and learnings from the process, and the changes observed in the kebeles since the WSP activities started, such as improved service level, increased demand for WASH services, and enhanced operation and maintenance activities. The report also provides some case studies and examples of WSP activities and outcomes in the four kebeles, such as community mobilisation, water scheme expansion and protection, sanitation and hygiene promotion, and tariff collection. The report concludes with some recommendations for future WSP support, such as providing refresher training, strengthening documentation, addressing technical issues, and scaling up good practices.
