Summary

In Study Session 14, you have learned that:

• Planning of projects and programmes should ask six basic questions: ‘What?’, ‘When?’, ‘Where?’, ‘Who?’, ‘How?’ and ‘How much?’
• OWNP planning was governed by the goal of achieving WASH targets that had been set out in the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) and Universal Access Plan (UAP).
• Specific criteria were established for assessing when the water supply and sanitation targets were considered to be achieved.
• The planning process involved using data on the baseline conditions in all regions of Ethiopia and a complex range of assessments of population size and distribution, types of water supply scheme and their costs and benefits, etc.
• Planning outputs are detailed breakdowns of the number and costs of new and rehabilitated schemes required to achieve the targets.
• Planning of the OWNP is a continuous process that follows a specified schedule through the year and involves dialogue between all levels of the WASH organisational structure.
• The process includes Strategic Plans, Annual WASH Plans, Core Plans and Annual Work Plans.
• The total budget for the OWNP is US$2.41 billion and will have millions of beneficiaries in Ethiopia.
