INTRODUCTION
& BACKGROUND
About Water.org
Water.org has been
at the forefront of developing and delivering solutions to the water crisis for
more than two decades. Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, Water.org
challenges the traditional approach by pioneering innovative, community-driven,
and market-based solutions to ensure all people have access to safe water and
sanitation; giving women hope, children health, and communities a future.
Water.org has positively transformed the lives of more than three million
individuals in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean by providing
access to safe water and improved sanitation. Water.org’s headquarters is in
Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
Approach
Water.org empowers
people to take action and deliver solutions that accelerate progress and
impact. The approach ranges from building and rehabilitating wells and toilets
to pioneering market‐based approaches such as WaterCredit. Its work is
comprehensive and demand‐driven – communities know what solutions will work
best for them in the long‐term – and rooted in local technologies and
innovations. Water.org works in partnership with local non-governmental
organizations and microfinance institutions to achieve its objectives. The construction
training videos will focus on providing visual guidance to local masons on how to
build proper water and sanitation facilities.
WaterCredit
Initiative
WaterCredit empowers
those living in poverty to gain access to affordable credit to meet their own
water and sanitation needs. This comprehensive initiative puts microfinance
tools to work in the water and sanitation sector.

There shall be a Pre-test of the MIG video,
where it will be shown to 6 local masons (2 in rural areas, 2 in peri-urban areas
and 2 in urban areas), 6 Loan Officers (2 in rural areas, 2 in peri-urban areas
and 2 in urban areas), and Water.org MFI partners’ WASH Team, in order to get
their feedback. Based on the feedback obtained, further changes shall be made
to the videos. Water.org MFI partners will take care of this Pre-testing work,
and shall collect the feedback from those masons and loan officers. A Pre-test
of the WAO, QC, and O&M Videos shall be done also by both Water.org MFI
partners and Water.org.

Task 4: Final videos outputs
The final video outputs of these four
videos shall be presented and submitted in compact disks and USB drives. Video
formats are to be confirmed by Water.org. The Consultant shall also submit all
raw video footages taken in the field.
(5)
Task 5: Edition of final videos outputs
Water.org will distribute the final
videos to its MFI partners to test out the videos. It’s foreseen that more
editions may be needed to make the videos fit to each local context or
operating area of Water.org MFI partners. The Consultant shall present the
final edited videos to representatives of Water.org MFI partners and Water.org;
changes shall be made to the four videos based on the comments provided.
Water.org could give up to two rounds of comments.
