Description

Em 2021, foi estabelecido entre a Fundação Nacional de Saúde um Termo de Execução Descentralizada (TED) com a Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG) com o objetivo de capacitar os profissionais envolvidos em todo o processo da prestação dos serviços de abastecimento de água, estabelecer critérios de priorização de perigos e riscos a serem controlados em sistemas e soluções alternativas coletivas de abastecimento de água, desde o manancial até o consumidor, com a elaboração o de Plano de Segurança da Água (PSA) 10 comunidades rurais do estado do Ceará.

Os municípios participantes são:

  • Aracati/CE (Comunidades: Lagoa da Cruz, Lagoa Nova, Venâncio e Porcos dos Ferreiras)
  • Tianguá/CE (Comunidades: Tabocas e Acarape) 
  • Crateús/CE (Comunidades: Realejo e Carrapateira)
  • Tauá/CE (Comunidades: Calumbi e Santo Antônio)

Criteria 11/11

  • ACCESSIBILITY
  • ALIGNMENT WITH SDG 1,3,4,6 AND/OR 11
  • RACE AND GENDER ISSUES
  • ATTENTION TO CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
  • LOW COST
  • SOCIAL DIFFUSION
  • ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY
  • ADHERENCE AND CONTINUITY AT LOCAL LEVEL
  • WASH INITIATIVE

  • SUSTAINABILITY
Intersectoral aspects

The municipal team trained by PSA collaborates with the Integrated Rural Sanitation System (Sisar) team of Ceará/CE.

Target audience

Rural communities.

Geographic coverage

The assessments of each community are still ongoing.

Duration

Two years.

Implementation Strategy

PSA in the state of Ceará promotes coordination with the Rural Sanitation System (Sisar, acronym in Portuguese), with the community, with the city hall, with the Federal University of Campina Grande and Funasa.

Stage 1 activities: planning activities, setting up the technical team to design and implement the PSA, and drawing up the disbursement schedule linked to the program's goals.

Stage 2 activities: 
▪ Training and awareness-raising workshop for municipal staff on the importance of the PSA;
▪ Formalization, by means of an ordinance, of the Municipal Technical Team for Monitoring the Development of the PSA;
▪ List of institutions directly or indirectly involved with the preparation of the PSA;
▪ Preparation of the Stage 2 Activity Report.

Stage 3 Activities:
▪ Methodological Workshop to Evaluate the Simplified Water Supply System (SSAA, acronym in Portuguese)/Community Supply System (SAC, acronym in Portuguese); 
▪ Characterization of water from supply sources and water treatment and distribution systems in rural communities that will be served by this proposal;
▪ Technical field visits to collect and analyze primary and secondary data on the quality of raw and treated water;
▪ Diagnosis of the SSAA/SAC;
▪ Preparation and validation of the Workflow Diagram;
▪ SSAA/SAC Evaluation Workshop.
▪ Preparation of the Stage 3 Activity Report.

Stage 4 Activities:
▪Technical visits to identify and assess risks;
▪ Conducting monthly water quality analyses for one year;
▪ Determination and validation of control measures and risks;
▪ Workshop on Hazards/Hazardous Events and Risk Assessment and Control Measures;
▪ Preparation of the Stage 4 Activity Report.

Stage 5 Activities:
▪Consolidation of the planning of control measures;
▪ Production of a detailed roadmap of control improvements;
▪ Workshop for presentation of improvements considering control measures;
▪ Preparation of the Stage 5 Activity Report.

Stage 6 Activities:
▪Production of documents to verify the effectiveness of the PSA;
▪ Preparation of the Stage 6 Activity Report.

Stage 7 Activities:
▪ Preparation of routine, emergency and contingency plans;
▪ Preparation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP);
▪ Preparation of the Step 7 Activity Report.

Stage 8 Activities:
▪ Installation and testing of a remote quali-quantitative water control system in alternative and collective water distribution systems;
▪Evaluation of the functioning of the PSA from the testing of the remote model.

Stage 9 Activities:
▪PSA final presentation workshop;
▪ Preparation of the PSA Final Report;
▪ Production of the Guide for Preparing the PSA in Rural Areas.
▪ Preparation of the Step 9 Activity Report.

Diffusion strategies

Awareness-raising and training workshops;
Delivery of didactic, digital and physical material;
Records of activities in reports.

Monitoring strategies

As the project is still being implemented, monitoring actions have not yet been standardized. However, communities have been visited every 2 to 3 months since the project's inception.

The indicators developed by the University following WHO methodology. The TED outlines the preparation of periodic reports (products) as described below. Funasa will review and validate the reports.

The TED provides for the preparation of periodic reports containing:
Goal 1. Initial Report
Goal 2. Preparatory Report
Goal 3. SSAA/SAC Diagnostic Report
Goal 4. Risk reporting and control measures
Goal 5. Planning and improvement report
Goal 6. PSA effectiveness report
Goal 7. Routine, Emergency and Contingency Report
Goal 8. Monitoring model test report
Goal 9. PSA Final Report

In addition to the reports, the project also provides for activities to analyze water quality parameters for drinking water that will be analyzed according to current potability standards.

Financing mechanisms

Decentralized Execution Term (TED, acronym in Portuguese) between the Brazilian Health Foundation and the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG, acronym in Portuguese)
