WIP PowerPoint templateBOS Dispensers for Safe Water: A Case Study in Sustainability UNFCC Regional Workshop on NAMAs 5 th August 2015

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS We scale proven global development interventions with sustainable business models.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 3 Evidence Action Launched in 2013 to scale up proven development solutions so that they benefit millions of people. We only implement solutions that are based on rigorous evidence – they have been proven to work. We target solutions that cost-effectively benefit millions of people. We identify innovative business models to finance our programs, and develop highly-scalable operational models.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 4 Dispensers for Safe Water A Rural Sustainable Water Service with: 1. Impact & scale: 25 million people with on-going access to safe water for <$0.50/person by Proven value & sustainable model: Proven intervention that is based on randomized evaluations and 4+ years of successful & growing operations.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 5 What is Dispensers for Safe Water Simple, convenient chlorine dispenser Community education & local promotion On-going service delivery

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 6 Dispensers for Safe Water delivers social returns for less than $1/person/year* Reduces diarrhea cases by 40% - one of the largest contributors to childhood death $61 saves a year of quality life* Avoid the irreversible effects of stunted growth in children *Less than $1 / person in 2015, and expected to be less than $0.50 / person / year by DALYs averted per dispenser per year, and the 10-year NPV of the program translate to $61/DALY/yr. DALY = Disability Adjusted Life Year, or the number of life years lost due to ill health, disability, or early death.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 8 Scale enables cost-effective impact

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 9 Financial sustainability by 2018 Water purification with chlorine is a substitute for boiling, making it eligible for carbon financing We generate audited carbon credits that can fund OPEX, only requiring up-front funding for the initial two years of a dispenser lifecycle

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 10 Financial Sustainability We currently have a portfolio of VERs per annum (in Kenya) and 100,000 GS CERs (in Uganda) per annum registered with Gold Standard and CDM In Uganda we have capacity for 250,000 CERS per annum Developing the capacity for 500,000 CERs per annum (ongoing) in Malawi and Kenya. Agreement in place with the Climate Cent Fund to purchase 2,000,000 CERs worth ~ 13 million Euros from Malawi and Kenya

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 12 Sustainable Development Co- Benefits Dispensers for Safe Water as a program offers sustainable co-benefits in the Health Sector. Our key indicators are : i) Adoption rates ii) Diarrheal infection rates iii) Water quality

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 13 Sustainable Development Co- Benefits Adoption We have an ongoing adoption survey based on the presence of total chlorine in household water. This survey is carried out on a randomized population sample every month. The rates of adoption are made available internally to every staff member through a web based internal information management system. These rates are also reported to partners quarterly, or biannually.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 14 Sustainable Development Co- Benefits Diarrheal Rates Compiled from Self reported data from the adoption monitoring surveys as well. Our spot checks also give us a regular update of the numbers using the community dispensers and any updates on population numbers. We keep monthly records of diarrheal rates in the areas where we work.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 15 Sustainable development Co-benefits Diarrheal rates

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 16 Sustainable Development Co-benefits Water Quality Quarterly water quality tests are carried out on water in 10% of households at the point of use of water. IDEXX tests are done in our internal lab to determine if there are any infections with E-coli found in water being consumed by the dispenser users. This is the indicator of success in achieving our basic target which is to provide safe water. Any indicator for E-coli here is a pointer of environmental contamination and always results in a community education meeting.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 17 Sustainable Development Co- Benefits Quality Control -A department in Evidence Action dedicated to designing of surveys, data collection, analysis and presentation. -Staff are re-trained before every survey season -Backchecks are carried out on the quality of data collected -Community meetings are held where feedback on project delivery is discussed -Monthly reports are provided which serve as the basis for an internal review. -Data on ongoing processes, performance, issues tracked and feedback are available to staff internally and these are regularly updated.

WIP PowerPoint templateBOS 18 Expansion Looking to expand our program Seeking viable and sustainable partnerships in Uganda, Kenya and Malawi … and beyond.
