The Water/Sanitation scene
• 2010 UN Declaration of water & sanitation as a human
right- efforts in the Pacific through regional
development partners/stakeholders
• Water & Sanitation are key elements for development
• What are the statistics for Fiji?
• How can coverage of water & sanitation be used to
leverage support in PICs!
• Does putting information in the hands of the people
enhance development in small island communities by
improved decision making?
Joint monitoring programme data from
WHO/UNICEF(2012)

Water Point Mapper
• Designed by WaterAid (UK) as a monitoring mapping
tool for monitoring the status of water & sanitation
services.
• Used extensively in Africa, India and Nepal in poor
communities, by various partners and NGOs
• The Nabaka pilot combines use of paper based
forms, mobile phones and Juno SB handhelds to
collect water/sanitation points and data.
Episurveyor+ Water Point Mapper
Forms added via episurveyor are exported into excel files
for use with Water point mapper
Water point mapper- generating maps
Water point and water quality maps can be generated given all datasets are available and entered into the excel file.
Water point mapper- entering data
Once data is entered into the pre-set fields under water
point data and maps are generated to KML files viewable
via Google earth
