1 Introduction
1.1 Project Context
Hebei Small Cities and Towns Development Demonstration Project
(HSCTDDP) funded by Asian Development Project (ADB) has become
effective on March 17, 2010. The total investment of HSCTDDP is estimated at
about 235.9 million dollars, of which 100 million dollars is a loan from ADB’s
ordinary capital resources. HSCTDDP intends to improve urban environment
in ten small cities and towns of the Province by providing basic urban
infrastructure and municipal services for water supply, wastewater treatment
and solid waste management, heating supply and river rehabilitation. A special
feature of HSCTDDP is the inclusion of community-based urban environmentprogram on top of the main loan. Pilot Demonstration Activity (PDA) under
Water Financing Partnership Facility (WFPF) was one of the community based
program proposed during project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA)
stage at an amount of 50,000 dollars, which will contribute to further
environment improvement by enhancing the public awareness and better
understanding of the linkage between protecting environment and
maintenance of good health in the selected project location. Zhengding, asubproject county of HSCTDDP, was identified as the project location for
implementation of this PDA on the ground that the county, a well known historic
town, has its demonstration effect in terms of community support to the
management and sustainability of project facilities constructed under
HSCTDDP through a series of thoughtful designed school and community
based education programs.
Letter of Agreement of (LOA) for PDA was signed by ADB and Zhengding
Project Management Office (ZPMO) on the 13th of April 2010, and amended on
June 2, 2010 in relation to fund transfer arrangement due to local policy
constraint in terms of foreign currency conversion. The implementation
involved a time frame of one year beginning the signing of agreement and
submission of inception report.

1.4 Preparation of Inception Report
This report constitutes the Inception Report as per the LOA, it was prepared onthe basis of findings from the mission to Zhengding in combination with
available information. In particular, the report enumerates background
information, management structure, coordination and monitoring of activities,
detailed work plan, cost estimation and reporting system towards undertaking
of the project activities.
2. Project Management and Monitoring Structure2.1 Recruitment and Mobilization of Consultants
As soon as the LOA was signed on the 13th of April 2010, the selection process
of consultants began by using individual consultants selection method
consistent with Guidelines on the use of Consultants by ADB and its Borrowers
dated February 2007.
The consultants were mobilized in the mid of June 2010 upon the approvalobtained from ADB. Both HPMO and ZPMO have made available to the
consultants necessary administrative arrangements including support staff as
well as relevant information and data.
The initial tasks undertaken by the Consultants include review of project
documents followed by a site visit to Zhengding county, where a series of
interviews and meetings with HPMO, ZPMO and the relevant agencies were
conducted, a list of people met by the consultants are included in annex A of
8/6/2019 PRC PDA: Zhengding Sanitation (Inception and Midterm Report)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/prc-pda-zhengding-sanitation-inception-and-midterm-report 9/58

this report.
2.2 Project Management Structure
The implementation arrangement of this PDA follows closely the projectmanagement structure of the main loan (HSCTDDP), i.e. HPMO will be the
executing agency (EA) for the PDA project responsible for oversight and
coordination of implementation, and ZPMO will be the implementing agency
(IA) and therefore will undertake and manage the project’s day-to-day activities.
The two consultants commissioned will work separately to focus on their own
professional areas, while also working together to produce the joint outputs of
PDA. Importantly, they will work very closely and coordinate their activities and
outputs with HPMO, ZPMO and other the relevant agencies and stakeholders
for the completion of their outputs as stipulated in the TOR.
It is proposed that the above involving parties ( refer to table 1 for the detailed
information) will meet regularly to discuss the implementation for this project,
progress achieved and address special issues as they arise. The timetable of
activities was also discussed and agreed upon (Annex C).

2.3 Reporting
The reporting schedule as required in LOA is as follows:
i) Inception Report: it is required in LOA that the inception report be
submitted two weeks or no later than one month after signing of the
Letter of Agreement, however, the slow process of consultant selection
and the amendment of LOA led to the delayed mobilization of
consultants, therefore, the submission of inception report postponed to
the late July.
ii) Mid-term Report: Financial and Technical, to be submitted within six (6)
months after the start of the PDA;
iii) Final Report: Financial and Technical, to be submitted within 30 days
after completion of the PDA. This will present all findings and
recommendations based on the experience gained in implementation of
this PDA project.
2.4 Fund Control and Procurement Activity
According to original LOA, PDA funds would be disbursed to ZPMO’s accountin US dollars directly, however, due to the constraint of current foreign
exchange management system in the Province, the IA is unable to convert US
dollars transferred from ADB into Chinese currency at its account. Therefore,
after consultation with ADB PRCM and ADB headquarter in Manila, it is finally
decided that fund will be disbursed in RMB to IA’s Account through PRCM’s
imprest account. The amended disbursement schedule in LOA is as follows:
• Upon signing of this Letter of Agreement Chinese Yuan
equivalent of
$10,000
• Upon submission and ADB’s acceptance and
confirmation of the Inception Report, and the
SOE
Chinese Yuan
equivalent of
$15,000

Project Completion Report, and the final SOE equivalent of
$10,000
The specific financial management are handled by the accounting staff of
ZPMO, whereas HPMO will provide continuous support during the life of the
project in terms of financial control, reviewing SOE and supporting documents
such as invoices and receipts, etc. and assisting in submission of required
reports to ADB for review and approval. Up to this reporting period, it was told
that the Advance of $10,000 had been transferred to the imprest account, ADB
Beijing Office from ADB Headquarter, but yet to the account of IA.
With respect to procurement activities under PDA, up to this inception report
point, two specialists were recruited by using individual consultant selection
method, with two service agreements signed on the 11th of June 2010
between HPMO and the Water/Sanitation specialist as well as media specialist
with fees at amount of USD 9,300, and USD 4,700 respectively. In addition, for
other spending items included in the cost estimation, i.e. i) rehabilitation of 5
school toilets ( covering the design, implementation, and constructionmaterials) ; ii) translation service for information and education program iii)
production of materials for billboard, brochures, etc. will be procured through
Shopping method consistent with ADB procurement guideline.
3 Proposed Approach and Implementation of PDA
3.1 General Approach
The proposed approach to implementation is tasks (activities) -oriented in
nature based on careful study and design and the tasks will be taken in
chronological order, starting with the desk review of available information.
Specifically, the implementation will be accomplished in four stages i.e.
inception, planning, implementation and completion. The first stage will involve
review of information (first or second hand information, published and
unpublished reports) and diagnostic studies on site ( through site visiting,
interview or meetings), the second stage involves thoughtful planning, and

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/prc-pda-zhengding-sanitation-inception-and-midterm-report 12/58
12
based on which actual implementation, the third stage, will be taken place. The
last stage is the completion of project by summarizing all the findings and
recommendation in the form of final report.
3.2 Proposed Implementation Plan
This section describes the work plan towards undertaking each of the activities
stated in section 1.2 and 1.3 above. The implementation will generally fall into
following steps and the timing of each set of activities is shown in the chart in
annex 2:
Step One : Inception
As a kick off activity, an inception mission was fielded to Zhengding where
initial discussions regarding the general approach, relevant procedures and
implementation plan were extensively held among consultants, HPMO,ZPMO,
and other relevant agencies or parties; in the meanwhile, thorough desk study
of relevant documentation were conducted. This phase is completed with the
delivery of this inception report.
Step Two : Planning
Based on the discussions and findings of inception phase, the tasks for the
planning stage includes:
a) a water, sanitation and hygiene related environmental education program
will be developed ;
b) five school locations where rehabilitation of toilets to be implemented will be
finally decided and cost estimation are made. The selection principle of
locations is generally discussed and agreed upon during inception mission
given the consideration of dissemination effect of project: 1) age spread: one
kindergarten, three primary schools and one middle school are selected; 2)
student source: when selecting primary school and middle school, the source
of students from a mixture of urban and rural families is preferred.
c) Two school communities with prioritization for environmental education will
be selected with a view to representing communities of poor hygiene situations,
thus with a urgent need to increase the awareness of the linkage between

The IEC program will be piloted in more populated urban villages with the
poorest sanitation condition.
There are no existing IEC programs by Hebei provincial government and byPRC. This PDA will directly support the ADB loan on Small Cities and Towns
Development Demonstration Sector Project.
The proposed scope is on environmental sanitation, including awareness of the
extent of pollution and clean-up of public water bodies. There is a need to
integrate sanitation practices with related river and ground water pollution
which is happening in the province. If the villages/communities will be taught
particularly in the poorer areas part of the project area then village committees
can replicate the program in similar villages. Criteria that can be used to
review the success of the progress include: (i) commitment of the village tocontinue on replicating to communities (other than the pilot) with target dates
set and target households; (ii) establishment of a system in place for the village
on improving sanitation practices; and (iii) setting up of a monitoring system in
place to coordinate with the village, town, and even city level to ensure that the
program is successfully replicated.
3. Implementation Schedule and Institutional Management
Arrangements
The PDA will be implemented for a period of one (1) year starting from March2010 to February 2011. Hebei provincial government will be the executing
agency for the Small Cities and Towns Environmental Improvement Project
(SCEIP). The Zhengding project management office (ZPMO) will be the
implementing agency for the SCEIP and will undertake and manage the
project’s day-to-day activities. This implementation arrangement follows closely
the project management of the main loan (the Project). The SCEIP will work
very closely with parent/teachers associations, school management
committees, opinion leaders, women organizations, youth groups, business
communities, and others.
ZPMO is an implementing agency for the ADB loan on Small Cities and Towns
Development Demonstration Sector Project (the Project). In Zhengding county,
the Project will build public toilets and sanitation facilities throughout the county.
During the project preparatory technical assistance stage, the ZPMO staffs
have been trained by consultants and ADB staff on financial, engineering,
procurement, economic, and social aspects of the Project.

related education programs. Some missing elements of the Inception Report that have
been pointed out by ADB project officer are also addressed in this report. Lastly the
report outlines main activities to be undertaken before project completion.
1.2 Background
In March 2010 ADB provided a loan to Hebei Small Cities and Towns Development
Demonstration Project (HSCTDDP) with the objective to improve urban environmentin ten small cities and towns of the Province by providing basic urban infrastructure
and municipal services for water supply, wastewater treatment, solid waste
management, heating supply and river rehabilitation. The total investment of
HSCTDDP is estimated at about 235.9 million dollars, of which 100 million dollars is
a loan from ADB’s ordinary capital resources. Given the importance of behavior
change and improved understanding of water related hygiene knowledge of people in
maximizing the environmental benefits of HSCTDDP, a Pilot and Demonstration
Activity (PDA) under Water Financing Partnership Facility (WFPF), through RETA6498 to carry out a school-based information and education program on water and
sanitation was proposed during project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) stage.
The overall goal of this PDA is to further improve environment by enhancing the
public awareness and better understanding of the linkage between protecting
environment and maintenance of good health in the selected project location.
Zhengding, a subproject county of HSCTDDP, was identified as the project location
for implementation of this PDA on the basis of it having a demonstration effect in
terms of local support to the management and sustainability of project facilities
constructed under HSCTDDP through a series of thoughtfully designed school and
community based education programs. After the completion of this pilot activity, the
lessons and good practices may be disseminated in the other counties and cities of
Hebei province or wider replication for other similar projects elsewhere in China.
The Letter of Agreement of (LOA) for the PDA was signed by ADB and Zhengding
Project Management Office (ZPMO) on the 13th of April 2010, and amended on June
2, 2010 to effect a change to fund transfer arrangement whereby the funds will be
released to ZPMO through the ADB Resident Mission due to local policy constraint in

terms of foreign currency conversion. An Inception Report was submitted to ADB on
10 August 2010. Major activities that have been undertaken during the inception stage
included that i) consulting team has been recruited and implementation arrangements
are put in place; ii) a thorough understanding of the objectives of the project has been
gained by project team through reviewing of the project documents and visits to
project sites; iii) selection principles for five schools have been agreed as a result of
extensive discussions among HPMO, ZPMO and consultants and other relevant local
departments; and iv) a project implementation plan for the whole project period has
also been worked out.
2. Project Components and Activities
There are two key components under PDA project, one is development and
implementation of schools and communities based education program on water
related public hygiene, water conservation and sanitation, the other is minor
rehabilitation of school sanitation facilities in selected school locations.
2.1 Development and Implementation of Education Program
Activities include:
● develop water, sanitation and hygiene related environmental education program for
children and local communities;
● conduct water and sanitation education program for children and local communities;● training of formal and non-formal educators and community leaders (men and
women) to form a core of trainers in water, sanitation, and hygiene education;
● produce documentation such as leaflets, brochures, billboards, and video for public
awareness and education programs;
● drawing competition as part of the “World Water Day” for children of age 6-12 years
old.
2.2 Rehabilitation of School Sanitation Facilities
Activities include:
● minor rehabilitation of toilets in 5 selected schools.
3. Implementation Arrangements
3.1 Executing and Implementing Agency
PDA project will be overseen by HPMO, three out of 8 full time staff is dedicated to
PDA. The role of HPMO will be facilitation and coordination of implementation,
review of disbursement application and provision of necessary guidelines with regard
to issues in achieving project objectives. ZPMO will be the implementing agency (IA)

3.3 Coordinating Scheme and Strategies for Implementation
3.3.1 Coordinating Scheme
The challenge for this project is to ensure all components and concerned parties
including engineering, education, local government institutions and stakeholdersreally work together. During the inception stage, a strong co-ordination scheme has
been worked out. Led by HPMO, this co-ordination scheme involves representatives
from key local government institutions such as ZEB, ZFB, ZUMB, school leaders,
PDA consultants and contractor. A dedicated fulltime staff of ZPMO is served as the
primary point of contact and convener. The roles and responsibilities of the members
of the co-ordination scheme are clearly articulated. Their specific tasks include
preparation of agreed inter-agency work plans, timely release of funds and checking
to ensure appropriate use of funds, overall responsibility for quality of the education
program and rehabilitation of facilities and commitment to motivate and supervise
their staff to work with consultants, school communities. Key members of
co-ordination scheme are shown below in Table 3.

3.3.2 Strategies for Implementation
A balanced combination of rehabilitation and education program. Since rehabilitation
of facilities is only a part of PDA, adequate focus should be placed on behavior
change of teachers, students and parents through properly designed education
program.
Co-ordination and use of local resources. Ensure co-ordination mechanism
functioning efficiently and effectively and organize inputs at the right time. Wherever
applicable, integrate PDA into the existing school programs.
Starting education program with orientation and capacity building for senior leaders
of relevant local government institutions. Without understanding and support of those
key players, the quality of PDA project cannot be assured.

4. Approach and Methodology
Approach and methodology will involve the following activities:
4.1 Rehabilitation of School Toilets
For smooth and convenience of implementation, toilets rehabilitation project was
agareed to be undertaken ahead of education program when the toilets are not in use
during school summer vacation. ZPMO will be responsible for organizing
procurement and supervision of rehabilitation works under the guidance of HPMO
and technical support of consultants. Works will be procured by shopping method
consistent with ADB procurement guidelines. Winning Contractor will be responsible
for design, materials, transportation and construction.
4.2 Developing and Implementing Education Program
PIP, outline of training program, contents of training handouts, training workshops, etc.
will be prepared and organized according to the results of following activities:
● Reviewing second hand data. Through consulting background literatures to obtain
statistical information useful for gaining better understanding of local context;
● Paying field visits. Investigating and discussing with ZPMO and other relevantstakeholders on the number of schools, the scale, the influential power and
location, water and sanitation related education status of schools, functional status
of school toilets in Zhengding county;
● Conducting baseline surveys. School specific surveys will be conducted to assess
the awareness of water and sanitation related knowledge, the status of sanitation
and hygiene practices, and students’ attitude and demand for improved sanitation,
etc.
● Focus group discussion. Focus group discussions will be held to validate findings
of surveys and further explore issues around water hygiene practices and so forth.
5. Descriptions of Activities undertaken and outputs to Date
5.1 Selection of Five Schools for Rehabilitation and Education
During inception stage, the core working team of PDA consisting of the director and staff
of HPMO, key representatives of ZPMO and two consultants hold extensive discussions
regarding the criteria for selecting the beneficiary schools of PDA rehabilitation activities.
Based on these discussions and further consultations with other local stakeholders the
basic principles decided at the discussions are as follows: 1) range of age: between 6 –
8/6/2019 PRC PDA: Zhengding Sanitation (Inception and Midterm Report)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/prc-pda-zhengding-sanitation-inception-and-midterm-report 29/58
29
15. Thus one kindergarten, three primary schools and one middle school will be
selected; 2) sources of students: from a mixture of urban and rural families, hence the
geographical location of the schools selected should have the source of students from
both urban and rural households. Additionally, it was also agreed that other activities
of PDA, i.e. educational, training and awareness-raising activities, etc, would be done at
the same schools where the rehabilitation are implemented because mere provision of
sanitation facilities alone does not automatically generate expected outcome of PDA,
it is proper use and maintenance of those water and sanitation facilities as well as
increased awareness of importance of self-management and improved hygiene
behavior through education and training can provide better benefits of physical works
rehabilitated, moreover, the beneficiary schools may have more active attitude toward
education program.
Based on above principles, ZPMO proposed a list of schools for HPMO and
consultants’ deliberation, and site visits to those recommended schools have been
organized for HPMO and consultants to assess the condition and eligibility. Finally
the following schools are selected:
Zhengding County Kindergarten. Founded in April 1956, Zhengding County
Kindergarten is located in N0. 53 South Zhenzhou Street and it is the only state
owned kindergarten in the county. Currently, there are 69 teachers, 14 classes and 600children at age of 3-6.
Hui Ethnic Group Primary School. Founded in 1937, the school is located in No.198
South Zhenzhou Street, a relatively poor local community area. It is the only minority
group school in the county. There are 42 teachers, 12 classes and 600 students. Most
of the students are from five nearby villages.
Xiguan Primary School. It is located in the south of Xiguan Village, Zhengding
County. Currently there are 36 teachers, 348 students. The sources of students are
from Xiguan village and Chengli Zhuang village.
Zhengding Town Middle School. Built in 1991, it is located on 49 West Hengshan
Road, there are 172 teachers and 2700 students. The students are from Zhengding
Town.
Shengli Street Primary School. It is located on 110 East Meishan Road, there are 35
full time teachers and 894 students. The source of students is from nearby village

5.2 Progress of Rehabilitation Project
5.2.1 Procurement Procedures
Originally, the tendering was organized for the four schools out of five that had been
selected as pilots for rehabilitation, since the remaining one, Jiefang Street Primary
School was proposed to build a new high standard toilet with 80% of investment from
ZEB and the school itself, and PDA funds only account for a small portion, thus, the
construction has to adopt government procurement procedures according to relevant
government regulations. Later, however, the school decided to postpone the project to
the second half of next year, which would go well beyond the timeframe of PDA
project. This raising issue was discussed among the representatives of HPMO, ZPMO
and local education department. It was then decided to find a replacement in some
other school, where there would be in need of rehabilitation and the school
management would be willing to participate in the works and education program as
well. A couple of alternative locations were considered and site visits were carried ou t,
finally, Shengli Street Primary School was identified as a replacement.
Consequently, the procurement and construction was divided into two phases, the first
phase was tendering for the first four schools, namely, Zhengding CountyKindergarten, Hui Ethnic Group Primary School, Xiguan Primary School and

Zhengding Town Middle School. The estimated cost for the rehabilitation of this four
school toilets are 106304.14 yuan. Three bids received by the time of 9: 00 o’clock on
the closing date of 27 July 2010 were opened in public on the same day at 9:30 a.m at
the meeting room of ZPMO, the name of bidders as well as bid prices were read out in
public. Following the public opening and the reading-out of the list of bidders and
their bidding prices, the Bid Evaluation Committee appointed by ZPMO has
conducted an evaluation on the bids received. The bids were evaluated in strict
accordance with the provisions of the bidding documents. The bill of quantities and
prices were carefully checked. The Bid Evaluation Committee concluded that the
lowest evaluated, compliant and substantially responsive bid was from Hebei Yulin
Construction Co. Ltd and recommended that the contract be awarded to the lowest
evaluated and complying bid submitted by Hebei Yulin Construction Co. Ltd for the
sum of RMB 105474.4 Yuan (as indicated in Table 4 below).

The second phase of procurement was for the newly added Shengli Street Primary
School. Since the rehabilitation to be contracted is an extension of the on going works
with small value, the engagement of same contractor can be proved more cost
effective and efficient. Therefore, after a consultation meeting participated by key
members of coordinating team, the contract was decided to be awarded to the same
contractor Hebei Yulin Construction Co. Ltd at a negotiated price of 22642 yuan (inc.
Vat and also two running water points for Xiguan Primary School and Hui EthnicGroup Primary School). The total price for the five toilets rehabilitation and running
water points construction is 128116.4RMB. The cost summary and detailed BOQ is
attached as Annex C.
5.2.2 Rehabilitation of Toilets
The rehabilitation project in Zhengding County Kindergarten, Hui Ethnic Group
Primary School, Xiguan Primary School and Zhengding Town Middle School started
in early August 2010 and completed in early September. And the works for Shengli
Street Primary School and two additional running water points started in late

5.3 Progress of Education Program
Development of educational program activities is a continuous process and is being
carried out simultaneously as the work progress is being made. The following sections
described key activities that had been done as of mid-November 2010.
5.3.1 Baseline Survey
Educational activities began with a baseline survey. The result of the study is used for
establishing monitoring framework, preparing training materials, planning and
conducting training workshops, and promoting public awareness of water related
hygiene knowledge and practices, etc.

Design of Baseline Survey Questionnaires
Led by the water and sanitation specialist, two baseline survey questionnaires has
been prepared with the following specific objectives: a) get a better understanding of
the current extent of knowledge, attitudes and practices in water related hygieneamong teachers, students and parents at selected school communities in Zhengding
county; b) based on the findings of survey, develop a meaningful training plan and
corresponding materials for later on educational activities; c) determine a quantitative
baseline that could be used for measuring the effect of PDA and behavior change over
time. One baseline survey questionnaire was designed for school management and
teachers, the other is for students and their parents. Specifically, the baseline survey
for school management and teachers tends to assess the existing status of sanitation
facilities in schools, M&O arrangement for sanitation facilities, knowledge of teachers,
and whether there is any regular system for water related hygiene education ( Box 1).
The second baseline survey is designed for students and their parents with the aim to

understand their current knowledge and practices with respect to water related
hygiene (Box 2).
Distribution of Survey QuestionnairesIn mid September 2010 the consultant team visited Zhengding county and met the
representatives of ZPMO to provide orientation on the exercise of distributing and
collecting survey questionnaires. The same visit was also used to determine
individuals that will offer help in survey distribution and collection. Altogether about
10 individuals from ZED joined the survey activity. All of them were briefed on the
project objectives and the rationale of questionnaires. The survey process was led by
the water and sanitation consultant, while the other team members assisted in quality
assurance of data and monitoring of data collection. The core team members visited
schools during the survey, occasionally accompanied the survey individuals and
checked the quality of information collected.
As decided earlier, the survey was to be carried out at the same schools which have
been selected for toilet rehabilitation. Randomized sampling method was adopted.
Altogether 130 out of 389 teachers and 590 out of 5142 students (and Parents) from 5
pilot schools were paper surveyed. The number and percentage of teachers, students
and parents surveyed in each school are shown in the Table 6 and 7 and below.

Focus group discussion
Aimed at the validation of the findings of the two surveys, the Focus Group
Discussions were held after the surveys are done. A copy of the Survey findings was
shared with the group prior to the discussion (See Annex d and E for survey results).
The discussion involved a well informed group of individuals, consisting of oneofficial from ZEB, one official from ZHB, 10 teachers and school leaders, and 3
parents from 5 pilot schools. The discussion revolved around the following different
topics:
• knowledge of water borne diseases
• Importance of school toilets, its proper use and O&M
• Role of teachers/Mother in promoting water and sanitation related health education
• Importance of clean school environment for the health of students
• Current assessment of school environment• Importance and need for water and hygiene education for school children

5.3.1.1 Findings of baseline surveys and Focus group discussion
Existing status of water and Sanitation facilities
The schools are complete in basic water and sanitation infrastructures, although four
of them without running water points within or beside toilets for hand washing before
PDA project. Access to safe water system is up to 100% in the surveyed areas, both at
home and at school. Overall 90% of the schools connected to water distribution networks,
10% use self prepared wells. However, none of the schools provides safe drinking
water on site for free, students have to bring drinking water in bottle from home.
At surveyed schools, the toilets are separate for girls and boys. However, three toilets
out of five are not connected to public sewers, implying that an unsatisfactory hygiene
situation will easily occur as a result of no adequate water for flushing and cleaning.Obviously this is a problem that cannot be handled at either school level or ZEB level,
but needs to be taken up at level of county planning by Zhengding government.
According to the official of ZEB during focus group discussion, of total available
toilets in the schools of Zhengding county, 90% are functional and remaining 10% are
non-functional, owing to initial construction level deficiencies, non-availability of water
and poor operation and management. 22.3% teachers think that the current number of
toilets is not adequate, and 42.3% thinks that the facilities are not clean enough.
There are maintenance arrangements for those facilities in 5 pilot schools. While the
pits are removed twice a month by contractors, the cleaning jobs are done by classes
on a rotation basis without a rewarding mechanism.
Except for Zhengding kindergarten, all the other school tap water points are always
without soap, although some teachers keep a piece of soap for their own use.
Current status of knowledge, attitude and practice
Although majority of students and parents surveyed give a “yes” when asking aboutwhether or not washing their hands after using toilets or before eating (over 86.3% for
students and 75.9% for parents), the knowledge of when else and how to wash hands
exactly is weak, only 18.5% of parents surveyed in practice observe the rules fully
correct, the percentage for students is even lower, at 9.5%. Hygienic hand washing
occurs in 40% of households, while washing hands with soap is neither promoted nor
is being practiced in school hours. The exact knowledge on water borne diseases for
teachers and students is low, but drinking boiled water or bottled water is highly
promoted at school and at home.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/prc-pda-zhengding-sanitation-inception-and-midterm-report 38/58
38
Generally, students, teachers and parents surveyed have a sense of water saving as a
result of increased water tariff and education on the issue of water scarcity and
deterioration in north China region.
The school curricula on water and sanitation education have not so far been given priority
for primary and middle school level in Zhengding. There are sporadic pieces on the
subject in the text books, but lack of information about the relation between water,
sanitation, hygiene behavior and health, including objectives, contents, suggested
activities and reference to resource material.
5.3.2 Training
5.3.2.1 Development of Training Plan
Based on the results of above surveys and further consultation with ZEB, in October
2010 consultants assisted ZPMO in developing the following training plan:
Overall objective of the training
The overall objective of training is to promote the link between water and sanitation
infrastructure and hygiene behavior change, including:
I. enabling pilot schools to get a better understanding about the importance of creating
a healthy and safe water and sanitation learning environment, which include a) safe
sanitation, water supply and hand washing facilities; b) hygienic use of those facilities
by students and teachers; and c) sound management to keep the facilities in proper
working and hygienic conditions, especially for those schools where there are no
sewer connection.
II. helping students develop better hygiene practices, particularly those in avoiding
water and sanitation related diseases.
III. promoting outreach to and benefits for family and community. It is important to
understand that students not only need a healthy school environment, but also a
healthy home and community environment. By including parents in the training, the
family and community environment will be improved at the same time.
Training calendar
Training for 100 teachers and parents as well as for 2500 students will be organized
on a phase-in approach. The first phase is training of 20 core trainers (late October or
November 2010), each school will select 3 teachers and 1 parent as core trainers.
When the first phase training is completed, the trained trainers will provide training toother teachers and parents under the supervision of consultant and ZPMO ( Late

39
November through late December 2010). Each core trainer will at least provide
training to 5 teachers in his or her school. The third phase is training of 2500 students
provided by trained teachers (January 2011).
Training MaterialsTraining materials developed by the water and sanitation consultant cover the
following aspects: a) introduction to the concept and contents of PDA; b) the relation
between health and water and sanitation; c) the importance of water; and d) basic
water and sanitation related knowledge. 100 volumes of training materials were
distributed to schools and core trainers.
5.3.3.2 Training of Trainers
First TOT workshop was organized on 19 November 2010 at the conference room at
Huayang Hotel in Zhengding county. About 50 people participated in this one day
workshop, including 20 core trainers from 5 schools. Other participants were school
heads, community leaders, local news paper reporters as well as officials from a
variety of local government institutions including ZEB, ZHB, ZFB, ZPMO and
HPMO.
Picture: TOT workshop
The overall purpose of the workshop was to develop training skills to vitalize the
passion of core trainers and motivate the willingness of ZED and school leaders to
cooperate and coordinate the training activities, and understand correctly the steps
need to take for the subsequent training activities in order to achieve expected outputs.
In the morning session of workshop, Mr.Wu Jianming, director of HPMO delivered
an opening speech in which he reviewed what has achieved to date since the
implementation of PDA, the importance of well organized training and effective
cooperation, coordination and support of Zhengding county government, in particular

40
ZED and school management, he also mentioned the importance of adopting
appropriate training style based on the characteristics of students of different age,
such as interactive presentation using examples, small groups, role playing, field visits
visual aids, etc. Lastly, he strengthened the actions and activities need to be taken
before PDA project is completed.
Following his speech, HPMO staff gave a presentation on the main objective of PDA,
concept and rationale of PDA, and the importance of good combination of hard part
