Please see file attached as paragraph was truncated.
WaterAid Mali aims to promote the use of low-cost latrines with Sanplat slabs in the communities via the construction of twenty family latrines, ten specifically for demonstration to encourage others to replicate and build their own. To promote replication, the first group of individual households in the community will pay half of the total cost of the Sanplat slabs through a credit system which will end following a four-month cycle. The revolving funds will then be used to assist the community in replicating the projects in other areas. The project calls for the construction of waste pits, again including demonstration pits, to improve environmental sanitation, and in particular, to ensure less groundwater contamination during times of flooding—a large issue in Dialakoroba during the rainy season (almost half the year) as the villages are situated near the mouth of a river.
WaterAid Mali’s hygiene promotion approach is based on three key aspects: safety of drinking water (collection, transportation, storage and handling), hand washing (before and after critical periods/events), and safe excreta disposal. Through the use of

Project Narrative
WaterAid’s program work began in Mali in 2003 with 2 partners and has today grown to include 17 field projects in partnership with 7 local NGOs. WaterAid’s initial work in the country focused on urban settings particularly the District of Bamako and its
Across WaterAid West Africa programs, the Local Millennium Development Goals Initiative (LMDGI) is being utilized to address and decentralize the national MDG’s on a tangible and local level. Encompassing six countries in the West-African sub-region: Burkino Faso, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria and Senegal, the initiative engages local partner NGOs as the operational implementers, in partnership with local government institutions, with the objective of motivating local stakeholders to mobilize and recognize the potential resources in the region.
WaterAid is partnering with local Government (Communes) to implement each project in accordance with the LMDGI. This approach involves local communities from the beginning of the process, fostering engagement. Working hand-in-hand with WaterAid, communities assist in:
•identifying poverty criteria and indicators used to rank the population,
•performing self-assessment of the community,
•determining the mechanisms and approaches, taking into account the local context, and
•participating in the implementation of the water and sanitation projects.
