Presented by IWMI's Maha Halalsheh as part of a series of training workshops held in 2021 entitled 'The safe use of wastewater' explaining the modules in the ' Governance and Reuse Safety Plans' handbook developed as part of our ReWater-MENA project.

1. Maha Halalsheh
Wastewater treatment expert
Develop and implement an incremental improvement plan
Module Five
Reference WHO SSP Manual, pages (58-67)

2. Learning objectives
Consider options
to control
identified risks
Use selected
options to develop
an incremental
improvement plan
Implement the
improvement plan

3. Consider options to control identified risks
Consider range of options to control the
prioritized hazardous events. This would
document the chosen method in an improvement
plan
Improvement plan can be capital work,
operational measures, behavioral measures or
combination of measures

4. Consider options to control identified risks
Consider the following
• Improve existing controls (if
possible)
• Cost of the suggested options
relative to its likely effectiveness
• Most appropriate location in the
sanitation chain to control the risk
• Technical effectiveness as well as
acceptability
• Responsibility for implementing,
managing and monitoring of the
control measure
• Training, communication and
reporting needed to implement the
proposed measure

5. Consider options to control identified risks
Another example

6. Use selected options to develop incremental improvement plan

7. Critical for the incremental improvement plan
Determine roles and
responsibilities of the
each action in the plan
Required funding and source.
The team might select first a
more affordable interim control
measure until sufficient funding
is secured for more expensive
measure
Time line

8. Control measures
Assess existing control measures for their effectiveness to
mitigate risks of hazardous events (the concept of log
reduction might be used)
Identify the person or agency that is responsible for each
proposed action together with the timeframe and estimated
financial resources
Suggest improvement plan that contains a range of control
measures taking into accounts the cost, acceptability and
monitorability of the measure

9. Implement the improvement plan
Monitor and report on
the implementation
status of the the
improvement plan to
ensure action is taken

10. Continue the role play

11. Outputs of the Module
Implemented plan with incremental
improvements which protects all exposure
groups along the sanitation chain
