Funding parties and donors usually request that applicants for the financing of projects complete a “table of indicators” with a view to obtaining a quick overview of certain main project features. The contents of the table of indicators may vary markedly from one case to another. The following example has been derived from a recent (2006) European Union tender.

Number of beneficiaries with access to clean drinking water

: 50.000, being the entire population in the project area.

Formal money content for the improvement of access to clean

dinking water in the project area:

 Euro 1.336.450, being 29,053% of the total project costs of Euro 4.600.000. The contribution of (financing parties) amounts to Euro 1.204.400, being 39,955% of the total formal money contribution of Euro 3.450.000 requested. Since the project is truly integrated

following new concepts, these amounts are indicative. The preparation of some water sources, the channelling of feed-pipes,  and the production of  water tanks and supplementary  structures for rain-water harvesting in each of the 10,000 homes

are carried out by the inhabitants under the framework of the local financial structures set up during capacitation workshops

which themselves are an integral part of the project.

Number of persons served per unit of distributions (hand-pumps, water points,…) 96 hand pumps being 32  triple back-up groups placed near 32 boreholes: 47.495 (assumed 50.000); 189  photovoltaic systems for distributed drinking water:  47.495 (assumed  50.000); people served by bore-holes and drinking water sources for personal use  47.495 (assumed 50.000); people served by 32 washing places :  47.495 (assumed 50.000); people served by rain-water harvesting structures :  47.495  (assumed 50.000)

Contribution by way of co-financing  by the NGO responsible : Euro 43.500

Co-financing contribution  by partners : Not applicable

Number of  beneficiaries with   access to sanitation facilities: 50.000, being the entire population in the project area.  Sanitation structures are also installed in schools, public places, and where necessary in clinics in the project area.

 

Formal money content for the improvement of access to sanitation is Euro 580.500, being 12,717% of the total de Euro 4.600.000. Since the project is truly integrated according to new development concepts this amount is indicative. Local production of tanks and eco-sanitation systems for each of the

10.000 families and their installation and maintenance

are executed by the inhabitants themselves under the framework of the local financial structures set up during capacitation workshops which themselves are an integrated part of the project.

 

Average daily distributed drinking water consumption per head of population  is 25 litres per person per day, plus a similar amount available as back-up through reserve hand pumps placed next to  wells and boreholes; plus  25 litres of non-potable water per head for personal use  through rain-water harvesting at household level.

Cash contribution by the beneficiaries : Euro 1.173.350 being 25,5076% of the total project cost of Euro 4.600.000. Most of the works are executed by the beneficiaries themselves within the framework of the social, financial, and productive local structures set up as an integrated part of the project. The project gives permanent work to about 4.000 people, who contribute about

3.209.333 hours of work fully documented and registered work for the execution of the project.

This work is formally converted into Euro at the rate of  Euro 3 per eight-hour working day. The work is effectively paid by the populations within the framework of the local money systems set up.

 

Contribution in kind made by  beneficiaries : not applicable

Number of beneficiaries with access to hygiene education:   in principle 50.000, being all of the inhabitants in the project area.. In practice, the direct participation of 18.000 women in the 189 Health Clubs set up, and that of all school-going pupils through the institution of on-going hygiene education courses in the schools.

While men are welcome to participate in the activities of the health clubs, relatively little interest is expected during the first few years. 

The amount of formal money invested for hygiene education in the project area is :Euro 517.500, being 15% of the total external seed funding  of Euro 3.450.000. Since the project is effectively truly integrated, this is an indicative figure.

The costs of operating the permanent hygiene education structures set up are borne by the inhabitants themselves within the framework of the local financial structures set up during capacitation workshops which are themselves an integral part of the project activities.

 

Total hourly capacity  of clean drinking water expressed in cubic metres per hour supplied through the decentralised solar water distribution structures is expected to be about 54m3/hour (being 1296m3/day/24 hours). A similar quantity of water is available through the back-up hand pump structures installed.

An average of  54m3/hour of rain water will also be harvested for personal uses. Harvested rain-water is not, however considered potable. 

Cofinancing by other donors : not applicable.

Bank loans or other debts : none

Average family annual income of the project beneficiaries Exact information is not available. The net national product in (country) according to (UNDP report 2005 on human development)

 is US$1696 per inhabitant per year; with a poverty index of (39,5.) The project area is much poorer than even these figures would indicate.

 

Other formal money costs Euro 1.171.850, being 25,475% of the total project costs of Euro 4.600.000. The figure is indicative. It includes the costs for the formation and management of social, financial, and productive structures set up;

 189 photovoltaic lighting structures for study purposes; structures for the re-cycling of waste; high-efficiency cookers and mini-briquettes for the cookers.

 

Total annual operation and maintenance costs for the project structures :

Most operation and maintenance activities take place under the local financial structures set up.

The formal money content of these costs is expected to be about  Euro 90.000; this is expected to amount to about 33% of the formal money contributions (about Euro 300.000)  paid by the beneficiaries into their Cooperative Local Development Fund. 

Formal money co-finance by

(donor) is Euro 3.450.000 being 75% of the formal money total of Euro 4.600.000

Willingness of beneficiaries to pay for their water supply

Expressed in (€/m³) : The monthly contributions made by users to dot refer just to drinking water supply but to the entire range of services at the disposal of the inhabitants.

This contribution amounts to Euro 0,60 per habitant per month, or Euro 3 for each family of  5 persons. This contribution is subject to compensation through savings made on present-day outgo in various sectors. For what the indication may be worth, the entire monthly contribution applied to just the solar powered distributed drinking water part of the services provided would yield a cost of  Euro 0,80 per m3 of drinking water environ. Self-financed replacement of capital goods after 20 years is included in this figure.

    

Total cost of the project : Euro 4.600.000 including monetisation of 3.209.333 hours of work carried out under the local money systems set up. This work has been converted into Euro at a nominal rate of Euro 3 per eight-hour working day, for a total of Euro 1.173.350. This is true co-financing by the local populations, who effectively pay for the local money transactions within the framework of the local money systems set up as integral part of the project.

 

Number of  complete eco-sanitary systems built and installed as part of the project : 10.000 systems.

1000 are expected to be installed during the first two years’ executive period of the project; the rest during the following four years.
