![Page 2: Sri lanka -_presentation_(ppt_3_mb)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050922/557d23a4d8b42a6e4f8b527d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Terms of ReferenceObjectives • To identify ways to ensure that
access needs of disabled people are considered in domestic water and sanitation (WATSAN) provision in tsunami-affected areas in Sri Lanka.
• To explore opportunities for collaboration between local agencies in Sri Lanka in promoting accessible domestic WATSAN provision.

Terms of Reference• Understand the situation regarding
access to domestic WATSAN for disabled people, particularly in tsunami-affected areas.
• Advise on ways to ensure that domestic WATSAN provision considers access for disabled people.
• Discuss opportunities for future collaboration to promote improved access to domestic WATSAN for disabled people.

Activities• Meetings with key stakeholders,
including relevant government agencies, NGOs, in both WATSAN & disability sectors;
• Field-visit to tsunami-affected area (Batticaloa) to meet implementing agencies, disabled people, observe current conditions;
• Feedback & discussion on findings and recommendations;
• Produce a report for ‘Access for All’ Consortium.

Accessibility – why bother?
•Help achieve poverty reduction targets – MDGs
•Cost-effectiveness • Inclusive facilities benefit the
whole community•Disability is a gender issue•Water is a human rights
issue
![Page 6: Sri lanka -_presentation_(ppt_3_mb)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050922/557d23a4d8b42a6e4f8b527d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Main findings• Social stigma, overprotection by families, lack of
physical accessibility, lack of rights opportunities, information disabled people not visible
• Few disabled people in camps – – Staying with relatives– Left camps because toilets & bathing facilities
inaccessible– Lost mobility aids
• Disabled & elderly people need a lot of support to use toilets & water facilities
• Negative impact on whole family – increased workload, especially for women
• WATSAN agencies have paid little attention to disability – lack of information, training, experience, never thought of it…

Problems - rough paths, long distances
![Page 8: Sri lanka -_presentation_(ppt_3_mb)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050922/557d23a4d8b42a6e4f8b527d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
High steps & thresholds…

Narrow entrances

On the positive side…
• WATSAN sector agencies interested, responsive, recognise need;
• Many focus on ‘socially vulnerable’ groups - some specifically mention disabled people;
• Examples of designs adapted in consultation with women – could be built on to include disabled & elderly issues.

Example: designing for women and children

What needs to be done…
Long-term reconstruction:• Toilets, bathrooms, water points
in public facilities, e.g. schools, clinics, hospitals, etc.– incorporate accessibility at planning
& design stage (minimal extra cost)
• Accessibility Guidelines available (international standards).
![Page 13: Sri lanka -_presentation_(ppt_3_mb)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050922/557d23a4d8b42a6e4f8b527d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What needs to be done…(2)Long-term reconstruction: Permanent
housing• Ideal – incorporate accessibility in all
housing at planning & design stage (minimal extra cost);
• Identify families with disabled/elderly members - consult on individual needs;
• Share information on possible accessibility options (WEDC publication).
![Page 14: Sri lanka -_presentation_(ppt_3_mb)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050922/557d23a4d8b42a6e4f8b527d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What needs to be done…(3)
Short-term - transitional camps:• Prioritise families with
disabled/elderly members – locate near to toilets, water & bathing facilities;
• Make one toilet in a block accessible
• Share information on individual aids and options for adaptations.

Suggestions for starting points - WATSAN sector • Appoint a focus person on
accessibility/ inclusion issues;• Make contact with disability agencies,
to: – exchange information and views;– consult on project design, technology
options, staff training…;
– accessibility ‘audit’ of a project or facility;
– pilot technology options;
– develop local resources, booklets, training materials, guidelines.

Suggestions for starting points - disability sector• Form alliances, e.g. with agencies
working with the elderly, children, women, etc.
• Disseminate information, provide technical advice for WATSAN implementing agencies;
• Collaborate with WATSAN sector to develop pilot/ action-research projects;
• Develop examples of good practice to show what is possible.
