Proposed Development Objective(s) 16. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to increase access to water, sanitation and hygiene services and to strengthen capacity for service delivery in selected rural areas and small towns of Nigeria. Key Results (From PCN) 17. Key results indicators for the proposed project could include: • Number of people provided with access to an improved water source within 30 minutes roundtrip (total/female) • Number of people provided with access to improved sanitation facilities (total/female) • Indicator of water supply infrastructure sustainability (to be defined) • Number of Rural Communities or local government areas (LGAs) that achieve and sustain communitywide sanitation status (declared and verified as ODF+21) • Number of schools and healthcare facilities provided with access to basic WASH services • Monitoring system for WASH in rural communities and small towns established and operationalized This project represents a first step in achieving Nigeria’s goal to ensure that all Nigerians have access to sustainable and safely-managed WASH services in rural areas. This goal was enshrined in the AP. Given the tremendous challenge at hand, the World Bank plans a long-term engagement in the rural WASH sector involving multiple projects and leveraging other activities in the country portfolio to promote sector reforms and deliver on the human capital agenda. This project will focus not only on improving access to WASH services in selected states, but on establishing the policies, regulations, procedures, institutional frameworks, and supply chain and infrastructure management models required to improve sector performance over the long-term along critical dimensions including: governance, technology and technical competency, ownership, private sector participation, M&E, access to finance, sustainability, inclusion, and resilience. 19. This proposed US$350 M lending operation will be financed by the FMWR and implemented by the participating states to deliver an integrated package of WASH interventions in selected rural areas and small towns of Nigeria. The project will pursue an LGA-wide approach, whereby all rural areas and small towns will be targeted within each project LGA. States and, subsequently, LGAs, will be chosen through a clear selection process using established criteria. Learning from both national and international experiences has led to the proposal for a results-based instrument with strong TA. Components 1 and 2 will make use of mechanisms that incentivize results through government delivery channels, which may include disbursement-linked indicators (DLIs) and/or performance-based contracts/grants.
