| Number and dollars of DCA water deals closed (by country) |
|
Issuance of partial loan guarantees or direct loans used as a tool to introduce private lenders and investors to creditworthy but underserved markets. DCA guarantees require true private sector risk-sharing where the USAID share of a lender's risk does not exceed 50 percent (except as otherwise approved by the Credit Review Board (CRB)). DCA permits USAID to offer a mixture of grant and credit assistance in settings where USAID is seeking more disciplined and sustainable assistance relationships.
DCA cannot be used for loans or guarantees to sovereigns, which could be subject to Paris Club rescheduling. DCA is intended for use instead of more costly grant assistance when a Mission can achieve the same goals, the borrowers are reasonably creditworthy, the projects are financially viable, and market imperfections prevent funding from commercial sources.
|
| Dollars of private non-DCA funds leveraged |
|
Leveraged funds result when USAID partial guarantees induce private lenders and investors to finance activities that support the Strategic Objectives (SOs) of Missions. Leveraged also result from Federal budget scoring rules under the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA), which permits Federal agencies to issue loans and loan guarantees having a nominal value far in excess of the value of required appropriations . |
| Number of wells established |
|
Wells may include hand dug wells, boreholes, developed springs, and improved technology traditional wells. |
| Average cost per well |
|
The capital expenditure required to construct a well as defined above. Note: Does NOT include community mobilization or training in the operation and maintenance of wells, such as community management accountability; cost recovery mechanisms; organization of pump repair person; or the establishment of a spare parts distribution network. |
| Toward Water Supply and Sanitation: Number of community water and sanitation projects that meet sustainability standards |
|
Projects characterized by activities that meet the definition for Water Supply and Sanitation described above, with numbers of beneficiaries identified. Sustainability standards include the application of cost recovery, policy, and regulation, and health/environmental assessment measures to ensure that the intervention can be affordably maintained by the host country on a long-term basis. |
| Toward Water Supply and Sanitation: Number of community water and sanitation committees established and trained in financial management and water supply and sanitation system operation and maintenance |
|
Institutional frameworks within which committees operate will vary from country to country, but whatever the specific structure, the committee must be engaged in mechanisms for dialogue and coordination to ensure some measure of multi-sectoral integration. Issues addressed by committees will vary and may include but are not limited to:
- a) Policy formulation;
- b) Education and promotion;
- c) Networking and information exchange;
- d) Regulation, control and enforcement;
- e) Surveillance and monitoring;
- f) Allocation and supply of water;
- g) Water treatment and reuse;
- h) Conservation and efficiency of use;
- i) Water quality management; and
- j) Adjudication in the case of conflict.
|
| Toward Watershed Management: Number of politically endorsed stakeholder governance groups convened and supported to undertake ongoing basin-scale, integrated water resources decision-making |
|
Political frameworks within which stakeholder groups are endorsed will vary from country to country, but whatever the specific structure, the group must be engaged in mechanisms for dialogue and coordination to ensure transparent, participatory, and multi-sectoral integration. Issues addressed by committees will vary and may include but are not limited to:
- a) Policy formulation;
- b) Flood control;
- c) Networking and data/information exchange;

|
| Toward Water Supply and Sanitation: Increased number of people in target areas with improved access to adequate safe water supply that meets sustainability standards. |
|
Improved access to safe water supply may include the development or rehabilitation of public standpipes, bore holes, protected springs or wells, disinfection at point of use, and rainwater harvesting. It may also include the provision of household connections to water conveyance systems. Although the new source of water may not be guaranteed as completely safe during 100% of the time, the definition implies that reasonable measures are taken to protect it from contamination.
Applicable activities may involve the rehabilitation of wells, and water delivery systems damaged by natural or man-made disasters, but do NOT include the emergency and temporary provision of potable water, water containers, and portable water treatment kits to internally displaced persons in refugee camps. Sustainability standards include the application of cost recovery, policy, and regulation, and health/environmental assessment measures to ensure that the intervention can be affordably maintained by the host country on a long term basis.
